Small Talk

-

It's rude to not exchange pleasantries 
With someone who's been
Such an inseparable part of you
Someone you have a history with and so-

Hi, I said mindlessly 
How are you doing?
It's been so long since
We've sat together 
And had a conversation 
About all that's wrong with the world 
And my decisions 
And me.

Hi, came the reply
We've been lonely
You seem busy with your 
Work and life and friends 
And everything in between 
We felt abandoned 
So we stopped by to say hello
We have a lot to say to you
Come, let's sit tonight 
And talk.
We know you don't want to
But we miss you.

Said the voices in my head.

I Hate My Siblings

They are always on my nerves. My brother trying his wrestling moves on me without my consent, from the choke-slams to the face busters, I have been at the receiving end of everything by this little Hulk Hogan (or so he thinks he is). He's eleven, short and slender; strong, nonetheless. I am almost always on the verge of either crying or yelling at him with such an intensity that it's a miracle I can even speak after. When he makes a mistake, I try to shower him with 'Pria's Eight-fold Path' to wherever it is that I am heading. His response is always positively mimicking me and disappearing into thin air after. I wish I had that superpower. So while we are on the topic of hating siblings, let me tell you about my youngest sister. Hold on a second, let me grab the list (which makes for a book honestly)of the times when she has justified me calling her an imp. From ruining my gifted tops to losing my favorite book to eating my exquisite Belgian chocolates which I ...

Hi there!

Welcome! You have come to my happy place. đź’— This has been a long time coming. I am not claiming to be an exceptional writer here but that does not change my immense love for writing. I have had an on/off relationship with it though. I gave it up periodically for more important things at the time; or so I thought. Only now have I fully realized nothing, I repeat, nothing is more important than doing things that make you, you. You don't have to be a pro at it or compete with anyone else as long as it feeds your soul and makes you happy. You don't have to feel stupid doing what you like because honestly everyone has their secret vices. Sorry, I digress. You'll find me deviating from what I am writing in pieces like these more often than not because that is how my brain functions. I have the attention span of a goldfish. Anyhoo, back to my relationship with writing. The 'off-times' have been meh but the phases in which I chose to write made me feel like m...
