Me

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

I would be me.

If I could be someone else for a day, I would be me.

The me that I seek, the me I dream about.

The me who thinks before she speaks, the me who doesn’t react with emotions. The me who makes all the right decisions.

I would be the me who doesn’t let the probelms of the world weigh me down. The me who can just enjoy life and let things be.

Why? So that I can be happy. I desire happiness.

If i could be someone else for a day, i would be my own super hero, I would be SUPER MIMI

Shush

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

I could hear the baby crying. Everyone within a hundred yards could hear the baby cry…but it was not the sound of the baby’s crying that irritated me, it was the mothers words. She kept repeating the words “shut up, it’s okay”.

Shut up? How were the words supposed to comfort and calm the crying child?

I find it very rude and uncaring to use the phrase. And I have heard people say it to others a lot. Often, they mean no harm…but I don’t think it is harmless. There may be different ways to tell a person to stop speaking but I don’t think ‘shut up’ should be our first choice.

Even though it’s not a word, ‘shut up’ is one phrase I believe should be kept under lock and key because we really do not know when to use it.

Nowhere but comfort

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

“Mummy, it’s like you wear these shoes everyday”

…but how could they not become every day wear? Black and comfortable can barely escape that torture.

That’s what my son decided to say to me randomly one day in a public place. I looked around, feeling a bit embarrassed but apparently no one else had heard him. He was not wrong though. Coincidentally, I had just said similar words to myself that day.

I remember the day I was given that pair of shoes, I had put my feet in and observed that they were comfortable. I didn’t know that they would become every day wear.

When I saw the prompt I pondered on “where have they taken you?”… Everywhere… but nowhere particular to remember or tell a story about.

In all the everywheres and nowheres, one place has been sure, comfort.

I want to play

Is there anything you feel too old to do anymore?

I keep seeing these writing prompts on my jetpack app. Today’s prompt is one I can’t ignore.

I want to go out when it rains and sing out loud. I want to run in the field and jump around like I have no cares or worries. I want to jump rope with my friends and play hand games. I want to feel the wind on my skin and even the sun too. I caught myself daydreaming about this a few times, I even put it in words in Play time

I want to play.

But I feel I’m too old, I can’t do this anymore.
