Edwinaworld

Submitted to Contest #325

Once upon a time there was a baby girl born in a small city, a Sunny Tuesday Of June at nine a.m. Edwina was unexpected, at least to the parents. Whereas she was growing up she could observe the dynamics of her family: her older sisters fighting all the time, and her father yelling at her mother every single day. One of the things she used to do was to watch TV without paying attention to them. They were so annoying! But there were times she felt good daydreaming; about another family, she couldn’t stop thinking of a funny family and with a ...

My Unknown Dark Side

Submitted to Contest #319

You want to know the truth? I will probably write most prompts about my inner side, and experiences, because I can’t help but analyze me all the time, and the worst? I don’t even know it. Though maybe the weird thing is that I’m not even sure I won’t ever know what my dark side is, even if I’m fighting it or embracing it. A lot of people say we should accept our flaws, and I think I somehow do that. Are Our defaults part of that dark side? Perhaps, but I am 45, wondering about the reason for my existence. And honestly I’m starting to be tire...

Types of Masks

Here is an analysis of how many masks we can wear throughout all our life, at least in my opinion. Have you ever thought about this? Nowadays there are people who say they have no filter, they are even proud of their flaws, like being arrogant or selfish, or stingy. Obviously is ok to love yourself but when you have defaults, the best choice is to understand them and try not to be like that in order to be the best of yourself. We all know we cannot be perfect, but always with respect towards people. We do not care if someone loves screaming ...

Who knew?

Submitted to Contest #315

When I was a little girl, I felt so weird, like I didn’t belong anywhere, nor my family, or at school with my classmates. And apart from this, the bullying was going to begin around me in the Catholic school I attended for quite some years. As you can imagine, this caused more insecurities in my inside, which I only could handle wearing as many masks as possible. When you’re bullied you wonder why, and obviously you’re not going to ask these mean people why they do that to you, so I only could imagine what it was exactly. To my approach it c...

Confusing

Submitted to Contest #305

There have been a lot of times when I say to myself or imagine: you know what? I quit. I’m so confused at work, yes this was my Plan B, to get a cool job as administrator. And at the beginning it was ok, my own desk with the computer, mobile phone, even my boss seemed nice. My first colleague, who was in the Supply Department, even though sometimes acted kind, some other times felt a bit short and curt. Luckily she left after six months. And the girl who substituted her had a better attitude, very fun with words and cheerful.To my surprise, ...

My addiction is eating me up

I don’t know when it all started, after reading a couple articles, it is said that since we are kids sometimes, our parents feed us to an extreme. If you’re crying they give you something to eat, if you’re happy we’re going to some restaurant to celebrate, any reason is acceptable. So, what happens when you adopt that as a habit? And you do it with more people, like your friends? Let’s be honest, at the beginning you meet them and go play somewhere in the city, but as you grow up, you go the candy shop, and buy anything with your pocket mone...
