Accomplished: Be Creative

The following is my entry to the TaleCraft Fantasy Valentine Contest. Bella's Big Day Bella was trudging along the alley. She was contemplating on what she was going to wear to work the next day. The Big Boss from Manila was arriving and they all had to make a good impression. Otherwise, Big Boss would maybe think of closing down their office. Bella was a receptionist. When Bella arrived home, she was too tired to eat, so she watched some television shows, drank a glass of milk, and slept. She received a call but didn't answer it. It was Troy, the geeky IT guy in the office. He was obviously madly in love with her. At least once a day, when she would take her break, Troy would put something on her desk. Sometimes it would be a flower, other times, something to snack on. But he never approached Bella. He would send her SMS, call her on the phone, but he never talked to her. Initially, Bella thought he was kinda cute, and endearing. But he started getting pesky and annoying. Bella slept with thoughts of how annoying Troy is. The next day, Bella woke up very early. She…

I Have Learned…

How to love... unconditionally... To be honest... To be patient... To be selfless... To be true to myself... To be grateful... To take risks... To feel... To care deeply... To open up... To give... To receive... To hope, but not expect... To ask, but not demand... That there are no guarantees... That everything, every little thing, matters... That perfection is unattainable... In this imperfect world, we can only hope to find the person whose imperfections we can accept and love, and who, in return, can also accept and love our imperfections.
