“Home is the place where someone is thinking about you.” – Jiraiya (Naruto, 1999)
Should be a safe haven
Should be a place to feel reassured
Should be a comfort zone
However
Mine is a superficial one
Mine is a broken one
Mine is a war zone
Maybe
That's why I'm feeling strayed
That's why I'm yearning desperately
That's why I'm searching hopelessly
For my kind of 'Home Sweet Home'.
I’m gonna submit a piece for another picture prompt held by Glen.
For these past weeks, I was unable to write a proper post, not even one. And it frustrates me even more because I have so many ideas in my head, yet I couldn’t pour it out appropriately.
Just like the tree on the picture below, it felt like I was chained down and trapped inside an infinite abyss.
Thank you, Glen. This wonderful picture truly evokes my spirit back.
So, this is the post for the last day of August. I hope I could write more in September.

Wish of a Tree
I dreamt of reaching the sky
Yearned for a pair of wings
Wished to fly freely
Like those birds
Nested on my branches
Sadly, I was made to be grounded
My roots run deeply in the soil
I dreamt of reaching the sky
Wondered how it feels like to touch the stars
I heard that the world is vast and beyond
How does it feel to liberally roaming around?
What a pity!
I couldn’t even walk on earth
For my legs have been chained down by mother nature
When the signal went off, of course I’m upset. Being in quarantine for months, I’ve became quite an internet addict. I can’t go on a day without internet connection.
When the signal went off, I thought I’m going nuts. I can’t upload an instagram story or update a tweet. Can’t even open my facebook account or simply chatting with my online friends. Let alone fangirling on V live or read webtoons.
When the signal went off, I might really gonna be crazy. I know that humans are social creatures, but I kinda forgot how to interact ‘real’ people.
When the signal went off, maybe it’s a sign. I should put my phone away for a moment and start socialize in real life.
P.S: V Live, sometimes referred to as V App, is a South Korean live video streaming service that allows celebrities based in the country to broadcast live videos on the internet and live chat with fans. Streaming is available online or on Android and iOS mobile devices, with replays formerly available on PC.Source:Wikipedia
Today, I’m gonna submit a response to a picture prompt held by Glen.
“The creative goal for all of us is “what does the picture evoke in you; what emotion; feeling; memory or whatever it may be – what does it arouse in you and to share it that with others.”

When I first saw this picture, it took me to a few years back (I forgot the exact year 😅). I was in college, went on a trip to a small island named Gili Labak with a few friends from my church community.
We went there by small boat dawn and were taking some good pictures of sunrise. Sadly, I lost my phone and all the pictures. 😭
It was very beautiful island and really small. It only took approximately 30 minutes to walk around the whole island.
