A Spiral A Day

I don't know what's wrong. There seems to be nothing wrong, at all, yet I don't feel it.
It's wearing me thin, night after night. I want to know what is wrong so I can damn fix it.
I have to fix it.

 I wake up, everything is okay. I look around the house, I do my chores as content I can be.
Mom and Dad comes home and our interaction is easy, light-hearted and comforting.
I laugh and smile as genuinely I can feel.
Nothing is wrong.

 Lil' sis comes home, I ask about her day and play with her if I could. Lifting her up or rough-housing or tickling. We laugh and the shrill voices carry around the house.
Nothing is wrong.

 Evening passes and I spend it appropriately around my family, whether it be Mom or Dad or Sis or Lil' sis. It is genuine and wonderful and calming and everything is alright.

 Yet.....when I am alone in the nights, I am sad.

 This sadness....I don't know it. It's unfamiliar to me.
It's not from my past and it's not from my memories, that much I am certain, yet still it haunts me for the past five nights in a row. Like a clockwork, it creeps into my head down to my chest and numbs my arms. I am afraid.

 The first time, I thought it was a dream.
The second, I read some fluff fanfics to chase it out.
The third, I went to sleep early.
The fourth, I stayed up bingeing Mark's and Jack's funny gameplay series.
Tonight is the fifth.

 It continues the same pattern each day. It dispels by dawn and sinks in by night.
As if my mind gloves a curtain on its own without my permission.
I don't know what to do.
I am unfamiliar with this new sadness. Like a brand new potent drug.

 I don't know why I'm feeling it.
I don't know how to make it go away.
It clogs my throat and burns my eyes but I have no idea what is it.
How unfair.

 It's unfair.
After all I've been trying to recover, something new hits me in the face. What is this?

 If someone asked me how I'm feeling, I would answer with "I am sad" because it's the truth. But if they asked me why, I wouldn't know what to answer because I don't know. That is also the truth. I don't know.
I don't know.

 Please go away.
I don't know what you are or why you came but I don't need you right now. I'm trying all my best to work past the remains of my issues, I really don't need a new unidentified problem right now, so please, go away. I beg of you. Please.

 Leave me alone.

Nightmare in White

 Last night, I had the most horrible dream. Recently, I've gotten the habit of sleeping on the couch, being the couch potato that I am. Most days, I'm too tired to carry my ass up to my bedroom and sleep properly on my bed. Days when I'd forget to do my night skincare and then regret it horribly the next day.  Same case happened last night. I took a shower, ate dinner on the couch with Natsume Yuujinchou on, and fell asleep. It tends to be cold downstairs in the living room at night, and I was wearing short shorts so my legs were freezing. I briefly remember pulling a blanket over my legs in my sleep haze. The details of my dream are hazy by now, but I can still feel the intense disgust and horror at the bottom of my throat. There was the air of something big happening, bustling noises of people moving. There was someone walking beside me, mumbling noises in the background. Everything in my eyesight was filled the golden color, as if we were walking in a ripe wheat field by

A Semblance of Balance

Hi, guys. It's been a while. No worries, I have my reason, which entails two words. Mom, and the black sheep. Mom was pissed he wouldn't go to school 'cause he stayed up late surfin' the net, so she confiscated the wi-fi. It's connected now for the weekend 'cause my baby bro is home for the moment and he pleaded the case with Dad. Way to go, baby bro! x3 That said, I'll only post a few stuff here and there for these two days. Now, regarding my last post, it was the first night after many many months of self-recovery a relapse of that degree. As I stated, it used to happen frequently during my high school days, usually when I am alone because of course I would never have them when I am with my sis or my baby bro since those voices have no place in my head when I am happy and content. I locked the door, and spent the night retching in the toilet bowl. I had records, but they were all gone with the flood. So that's that. Funnily, the urge had grown

"Toukan Koukan" ; Exchange of equal value

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is the best of the best anime can offer.  I resolutely stand by this statement, even when there are countless of other animes that can teach us many things such as Gosick, Soul Eater, The Children who Chased Lost Voices, Code Geass, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul, No 6, and many more I could name. The first moment I finished FMAB, it felt like I had gone through a life and came out in tatters. So much truth put in one series. So much life. Especially when it's adorned with death. When has it not? Life and Death goes hand in hand. The one thing I love the most was the First Law of Alchemy, Equivalent Exchange. It is fair, is it not? To give all and take nothing is arguably noble. Modern people would say it's stupid and wasteful. Wise people would know that there is something more at work than the naked eyes. On the other hand, to take all and give nothing is selfish. No arguments. I don't watch these things for entertainme
