Challenge
how do we exist
how do humans continue to survive? with existential dread and a society built on ideas rather than ground how is humanity so resilient? any format you want <3
Aprilia

Exist?

I guess some don't have many choices. A dust in the universe shouldn't demand for an acknowledgment, no?

Some barely survive the day to continue breathing. Some try to live life to the fullest.

Challenge
Quote time!
Write a quote. Two sentences or two paragraphs. It doesn't matter, just write a quote you love, hate or it's sad or happy. Be creative! This was mine as an example, "I don't need them anymore. I'm the person they needed, and what they wanted to be."
Aprilia

"I still remember my short of breath, the disbelief I had when I heard that you left."

Challenge
Why do you procrastinate?
Have you felt the need to do something but you couldn't make up your mind and end up procrastinating? Any format.
Aprilia

Many reasons

Sometimes it's because the sun shines too brightly that one has this urge to go outside.

Sometimes it's the heavy rain demanding for melancholy.

Sometimes it's the people laughing next door, adding more to the loneliness one feels.

Sometimes it's the joy of a party hinders one from working.

All the reasons out there are valid, that one thing, has never been a priority. It is okay so long as one is aware of the consequences.

Challenge
What does it mean to experience heartbreak?
Write what heartbreak is to you in 1 sentence. Doesn’t matter how long said sentence is but stick to 1 nevertheless . Can write in poetry or prose whatever medium works for you!
Aprilia in Stream of Consciousness

Again

It feels as if I were given a second chance, I know exactly what I would've done,

I would still fall for love, deeply.

Challenge
To the courts...
Someone was given one wish that could change the world forever, yet their wish was to have every day last 24 hours. You are now in court defending them. What's your defense? Why does this change the world forever?
Aprilia

Dear Courts, it doesn’t matter

All Rise!

24 hours a day doesn't exist since forever, thanks to the ancient Egyptians who decided to add one more hour at the end of 10 hours/day division.

To be granted the same 24 hours a day CAN change the world forever.

A change don't mind the time, but the actions.

The world wouldn't just change by glimpse of a mere wish granted to someone, in fact, everyday in its every second, someone out there is trying to change the world.

Give them a 24 hours and money to spend, see what they can do.

It's not the time which matters, it's the money granted.

Your Excellencies,

24 hours a day gives everyone equal chances, for the Earth is rotating, the sunlight and nighttime changes.

No need for an extra hour to change the world, if 25 or 26 hours means no actions.

Time shouldn't be taken for granted. It should be utilized at its utmost.

Your Excellencies,

If you wish one to change the world, give them whatever they want, for any opportunity is enough for a start.

May it pleases the Court. Thank you.

Aprilia

For I wish to

I am struggling

My hands are trembling

Yet, your handsome words don't manifest themselves

What a deceiver you are.

I wish to go faraway, yet not vanish.

You should remember me, for I were once your lover.

Challenge

Aprilia

That Day

It was a usual good bye at the airport that morning,

I said bye like I always did, no hug

Flying was my thing and was always easy,

but that day you called me and held my hand as I walked through the gate,

A kiss on my forehead, sweet.

Enough for me. I continued walking.

If I had known it was the last time I saw you, I would've hugged you.

Challenge
Heartbreak.
Tell me something heartbreaking. Poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction. Winner will receive a spotlight. Tag me in the comments if you want feedback!
Aprilia

Lost

I still have a panic attack every time I remember you.

Losing is you has never been easy.

Challenge
Types of Pain
What is the worst type? Is emotional pain worse, or physical? Try to make an argument for your case.
Aprilia

Scary tho

It's harder to be in a state where you're mentally exhausted. Emotional pain hurt you more than physical pain. Medicine might help but it's way more expensive than the one you consume when you get a sprained leg.

It's tiring to wake up in the evening crying for help, wishing for a companion.

What about your weight? No doubt, you surely will gain or lose weight drastically.

Challenge
