Coffee is my ticket to dreamland

Dear webkin,

Don't get me wrong. As far as my daily nightshift is concerned, my dreamland is far from the sleep everyone is craving for. It is nothing more than just a few waking hours of thinking about things I hardly even think about when I'm awake, as I sip my blackest of coffees. Basking under the sun. Frolicking in the white sand of some famous beach resort. Walking down the streets guilt-free of my sweets-filled tummy. I dream of staying awake to keep myself from drifting off this dream-like state I'm in right now. 

But, alas, I'm right here staring back at the half-blank page of this letter, half-cup of coffee in my hand, trying to fill it with entertaining thoughts, umm, I mean the letter, while hardly dwelling on the limits of SEO and stuff like that. 

I always rely on a cup of coffee to take me to this joyride I cOuLd NeVer TaG mY faMiLy or friends along. As I chug in the rest of the coffee I realized that I needed to capture and seal this moment on this page. Thank you for reading this moment.

The nightmare of insomnia

hELLo, wEbKin.  I love sleeping. In fact, napping is my favorite past time. If I could I would nap with my eyes wide open so that I could see who is having a good laugh watching. At times, I would stay awake overnight even when not touching coffee for days. So, I couldn't fully blame this beany drink for the predicament it had inflicted on me. In fact, no one dares blame whoever weaponized coffee, at all. It's no easy task trying not to rely on sleeping pills either; I rarely pray to conventional medicine for my salvation.  Insomnia can be a nightmare especially when I needed to get up for work or for an early appointment. It makes you feel like a floating ghost all day long. It gives you a glimpse of the back of people's head for the first time, unto the darkest corner of their subconscious, watch them secretly scheme against the rat race. It makes you hear colleagues talk about your worn out face behind you. Honestly, it makes you feel like you have suddenly acquired some

A message to rent

Hi, webkin. You are allowed to inhabit this thought-space free of charge. While I, myself, literally, Lila, rents a space inside this laptop, my fingers paying for every keyboard use.  Rent has made the worse out of the living. A predator in camouflage under another name. The space I fill this world is a commodity, devoid of value. I dream of finding a sliver of reality where I could freely call a piece of land, home.  Yeah, yeah, we live in a materialistic world with a capital C written to its core. I am reminded of this fact 24 hours a day in the form of an alarm clock. And this fact has somehow eaten up all that is left of every one's belief that the best things in life are free. But what do we need the best for when even the things we need are not for free? This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This space is for rent. This spa
