Here's my compilation of all the tiny stories, give or take, that I've recommended since coming here. And a few of my own. Some beloved, some in need of some love, all with great potential and fantastic messages.

And all he found was this present.

Some things seem so nice


Wrapped up in their bright, shiny packaging-


But when you open them up,


You realize how unremarkable they really are.

(inspired by Bloemday's photo)

Happiness is in my head
And in my head alone
It doesn't hide under my bed
It lives inside my bones

I only aspire to be me.

that once he awoke, he would vow to himself to make the awake even better.

each night, i dream we have wings


but are unable to fly;


penguins in an icy land


yearning to reach for the sky.

And said we're through.


You're a nice guy,


But I have much more fun with Do.

You can erase me all you want,


But it doesn't change the fact that I was here.

Mirrors

I'm not quite sure I wrote it correctly. What I meant was "J'ai constamment l'impression d'être piégée entre deux miroirs, affrontant ce que je ne veux pas voir, tournant le dos à ce que j'essaye désespérément d'être, sachant que si je tourne les talons je serais seulement piégée à l'envers".


If anyone with a better English than mine wants to fix this (if it needs to be fixed) please do so, I'll change the drawing.


I also thought of modifying the two reflections, drawing an ugly version of the girl in the mirror on the left and something beautiful on the second one. Advices ?
