It’s my first time join in weeklyprompt, Weekly Prompt – Colour Challenge Blue
The first thing that came to my mind when I heard the word blue is sky. Well, sometimes it gets cloudy and stormy. But when the sky is clear and blue, it could be comforting for some reasons.
Whenever I have a bad day, I like to look up at the sky. Just sat down and tilt my head up, admiring the nature. It’s been one of my favorite healing therapy.
It’s been almost 2 years since the pandemic started. We all have our own way to cope with the situation. For me, at least I discovered 3 interesting things that help me stay sane during the pandemic.
After office hours, if the weather was nice, I usually went to a beach near my office. Me and my co-worker like to sit there and talk about our day at work there. Sometimes, we’re simply enjoy the view. It has been our safe haven after such a hectic day. I found it very relaxing, to here the waves sound at the shore or just sitting there and look at the sky, appreciating the nature.
We have been through hell for these past two years. Well, some might have it easier, but most of us have to fight harder just to stay alive. There’s always a news about deaths due to covid everyday. Some of them were my friends families or their colleagues. I tried to reach out to them and simply asking about how they’re doing. Even though we haven’t talked in ages. I know it doesn’t mean much, but I hope it could comfort them somehow.
I love writing diaries since my school days. Most of it was just ranting about my daily life. But, since the lockdowns couples months ago, I’ve become more fond of expressing myself through poetry. Some of it sounds cheesy and sucks, so I only posted the best (according to me lol). It helps me calm my chaotic mind and stay sane during the pandemic.
I hope you also found something that can help you cope with your current situation.
Here’s a bonus sunset picture ✨
Eugi is the host for this prompt. I’m gonna write a poem as usual. I don’t know, I think it’s easier for me to write a response to any prompt with a poetry. Let me know what do you think about it in the comment section below. Thank you and hope you enjoy 🙂
Chasing the Night
Wheeling around the moon
Round and round we go
You, me and the wheel
Chasing the night
Make friends with the scary monsters
Embrace our fears
No more running from the past
But wheeling together to the future
I feel so strange lately. Sometimes I woke up feeling like I could conquer the world, then the other times I thought the world would be better off without me in it.
Sometimes I have too much energy overflowing in my vein, and luckily I could finished some important tasks in office. But, the other times I felt empty and just wanna lay down and stared blankly at my ceiling.
Sometimes I felt it was really nice to be alive and well, and it gave off some positive vibes to other people too. But, the other times all I have was this big bad black negative balls inside my mind, and I became rather rude to people around me.
At the end of the day, I keep wondering, “Why did I do that? What the heck is wrong with me? It would be better if I just shut my mouth at that time. Why should I ever say that?”
You know, those things like we’ve said one second ago and then regret it in the next second. In my case, I’d be drownimg myself in self-blaming.
Well, maybe I’m just an overthinker. But, it’s really hard to change it when it became your daily routine.
You know, they said, “Old habits die hard.” So maybe I had to picked up a new habit to change my life cycle.
April has come to an end. It’s blooming season. Let’s bloom together.

Twenty twenty had been tough
It took a lot of things
Yet also gave so many lessons
It’s okay if all you did in 2020 was breathing
At least you survive
Now, another year has come
Another challenging year
It might not gonna get easier
But, if we can made it through 2020
We can conquer 2021 as well
2021, here I come.
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'.

In response to Eugi’s weekly prompt, I’m gonna write a piece about tree once again.
In the previous post, I viewed myself as the tree itself, meanwhile I’ll write about how love should be like a tree.
This piece was inspired by the song ‘Never Break‘ by John Legend.
You can check out my previous post here.
Enjoy!
Love Like A Tree
Rooted in one place
For eternity
As its grow higher
And higher
The wind’s blow
Will become stronger
Thunder and storm
Will be more frightening
Yet it will never break
For its foundation was solid
Built on the ground
Nourished with compassion
Nurture with gentle care
Thus the love
Will sprout formidably
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
