Five Sentence Fiction

Hello! Welcome to The SkyGirl—the blog dedicated to my skywatching and travel trails. As an intrepid traveller and an amateur photographer, I am forever on the lookout for great stories to share. At other times, I’m keen to get behind the lens and find that perfect angle that can best capture a moment. Travelling, to me, is a literal and creative journey, as each new place evokes new feelings, that ultimately shapes my perspective and teaches me something new. A lifelong learner, a student for life—that’s me!

  • The home that was! The walls and the well-ventilated rooms of this beautiful flat that bore witness to ten eventful years of our lives...in blissful joy and pain, in comfort and warmth, in hope and despair, in the blacks, the whites and the greys of our lives, in colour and sepia and every mood and emotion that one would have gone through...until, the momentous morning when I stood alone, my breath echoing my silence and masking my tears with the sole hope that the memories of this home will be etched on our hearts forever! Those gorgeous dawns and the magical dusks that we enjoyed through the seasons are now history! And just in case I never told you this before-Skygirl has lost her Sunset skies too! 😌 But, then, life brings along new beginnings and with it come new challenges and somedays we seek the comfort of familiar surroundings to help ease our pain and cushion our uncertainties and the stumbling blocks that a new setup brings. .

Adieu, my beautiful home...you will be dearly dearly missed! . #biddinggoodbye #movingforward #movinghomestressesmeout #ihategoodbyes #tenyearsgone #leavingwithmemoriesforlife #myhomeforever❤️ #missingmyoldhome #makingnewmemories #oldisgold #memories💕 #ourbeautifulhome❤️ #shiftingagain #itsthattimeinourlives #farewellhomesweethome #homesweethome🏡
  • Grateful to Life! Through every battle and the ups and the downs, I realise I’m still immature, still make mistakes and still learning the ropes! I hope there’ll come a day when I’m truly happy, contented and stop reflecting on how not to repeat my mistakes! Still gullible, still fumbling and still laughing at silly jokes as I wipe my tears, pick up the pieces and march on. Life goes on, year on year, nothing changes it seems and none the wiser, the same old me keeps going on. Grateful to life for everything, for the good times and the not so good ones because they’ve made me ‘me’, warts and all. A work in progress, but hopefully getting there, one step at a time! Grateful. Accepting. Resilient. Survivor. Deep heartfelt gratitude to Life, once again! ❤️ . . #reflections #thoughtfulmode #wednesdayvibes #wordywednesday #birthdaywisdom #anotheryearolderbutnotwiser #lifelessonslearnedthehardway #schoolofhardknocks #jugglinglife #curveballseason #ginkakuji #japantrip2019 #bestofjapan #beautifuldestinations #soulful
