Ever felt like you've apologised so much that you have a feeling others just don't feel the sincerity
in your apologies anymore?

Today someone cut my queue while I was waiting in line to enter the MRT, I thought better of it.

Today someone jabbed my stomach with their elbow and didn't apologise, I thought better of it.

Today someone took most of my space on the seat of the train, I thought better of it.

Some days, you just don't feel like causing a big fuss. You know?

I've just been down, I feel lonely.

I always feel like I'm the black cat, as though people don't want to go near me,

as though I bring them bad luck or like I seemed different.

I don't even know why I still write here, maybe it's because I've got no one to talk to.

I was sitting down by a table and chair the other day and I saw a bird fly to my feet.
The bird looked me in the eye.
It hopped around for a bit before flying away.
As I watched the bird take flight, I got up on my feet and began walking home.
My journey home however, felt different than that of the bird's.
I felt restrained, like I could soar if something wasn't holding me back.
I'm scared to death right now.
