Life can get boring
I don’t remember a time when I was bored out of my mind for over an hour. It certainly happens from time to time, but really never lasts long enough to be concerning. Either I’ll fall asleep or I’ll just get something productive to do with my time, but never do I let myself sink into boredom for too long. This time around my life didn’t get boring but I kind of saw that in the lives of others. I saw some people not know what to do of their day and basically waste countless hours of their time doing something they were not interested in.

Forgotten Memories: The Heart of a Village Home
--- We bought a house in the village from a young couple who said their parents no longer needed a dacha, and their grandmother had passed away a year ago.

You can throw away the rest.”

Hinges creaks in Silence. Content Warning.
Little fumes of cigarette, I blow another - this time, a ring. And one more. And one more. I gaze through her naked back. She was on her stomach, face sheltered underneath the white pillow then speckled with blood, her skin bruised liked the sunset on a cloudy afternoon.

The power of forgiveness and redemption
I sit here, in this cold, dark cell, surrounded by the echoes of my past. The crimes I've committed, the lives I've ruined, the pain I've caused. It's all coming back to haunt me now, as I face the consequences of my actions.
