I thought there was nothing good about my week. Then I remembered yesterday a little girl of about 5 walked up to me and asked, 'You didn't come last Monday. What made you sick? Are you okay now?' I was literally at a loss for words because how do you explain to a 5yo that you tried to take your life and that sometimes your heart is in so much pain that you can't bring yourself to get out of bed?

'What made you sick?' That was all I needed to hear to see that maybe living isn't so bad after all.

I asked him once if he will find someone else when I’m gone. I remember he gave me a solid no. A few days ago he was leaving me because of something I did. I hurt him. He was leaving because he wanted me to be a better person, and until then, we can’t be together. I always knew the day would come and I always thought I would be prepared for it. Truth is, I don't think anyone can prepare themselves for something like that. I begged him to stay.

tumblr is such an escape from real life for me

anxietyproblem

I reinstalled Tumblr after 3 years

and somehow it felt like I never left.

Tonight, I scrolled through posts

and reblogs from younger me.

Some were funny.

Some were painfully cringe.

But most of them were raw

and vulnerable

in a way I don’t think

I allow myself to be anymore.

I found writings from 2014

when I was 19.

The year I met the love of my life.

To be honest,

most of my writings were about him.

The love.

The frustration.

The fear of losing him.

Everything.

There was even one post that said,

“I really want to marry this guy.”

Well.

I am 31 now.

And married.

To him.

I also realised

how dark of a place I was in back then.

At 19 or 20,

I genuinely never thought

I would make it this far.

But I did.

I’m 31 now

and I’m still here.

Still kinda struggling.

Still trying to figure life out.

But I am managing.

And maybe

that counts for something too.

Storytelling Techniques

A good storytelling method is essential for writing good fiction. There are many storytelling techniques that can be used to create engaging and memorable stories. Here are some common techniques you can use in your stories:

Use sensory details: Including sensory details in your story can help your audience imagine the scene and get emotionally invested in the story. For example, you can describe the colors, sounds, and smells of a place or event.

Build tension and suspense: Tension and suspense are important for keeping your audience engaged and invested in your story. You can create tension by introducing a conflict or challenge that the characters must overcome.

Foreshadowing: Foreshadowing is a technique used to hint at future events in the story. This can create anticipation and keep your audience engaged.

Use pacing effectively: Pacing refers to the speed at which the story unfolds. Make sure to vary the pacing to keep your audience engaged. For example, you can slow down the pacing during emotional or reflective moments, and speed it up during action scenes.

Show, don't tell: Instead of simply telling your audience what is happening in the story, show them through vivid descriptions and actions. This can help your audience feel more immersed in the story.

Use metaphor and simile: Metaphors and similes can help create vivid descriptions and comparisons in your story. They can also help to convey complex ideas in a more accessible way.

Flashbacks and flash-forwards: Flashbacks and flash-forwards can help provide context for the story and create tension. Make sure to use them sparingly and at appropriate moments in the story.

Use humor: Humor can be a powerful tool for engaging your audience and making your story more memorable. Just make sure that the humor is appropriate for the tone and subject matter of your story.

Suspenseful chapter endings: Ending chapters on a suspenseful note can help keep your audience engaged and eager to read on.

By using these techniques and others, you can create a compelling and memorable story that will engage and entertain your audience.
