[descriptive part 2]

The keys simply twinkle as they slowly approach the large timber doors. The light steps come to a smooth stop and the faint clicks of the various cams shifting can be heard, with a final ‘churn’ giving the doors away.

In the void kitchen, now resounds the thick saturated sound of vapouring tea being poured into a glass cup, the leamony-green tinted liquid within the cup sparkling dazzlingly as the last rays of the sunset adorn it.

The figure seats itself upon the fluffy matteress laden out in a lone corner of the balcony, the soft baby-blue sheet compresses gently under the light body dressed comfortably in a snug, furry white night gown.

As the warm steam hinted by the relaxing scent of berry’s wafts through her nose, the weary lids gently droop over the tired, dry coal-like orbs and the evening wind delicately caresses the palm-sized face.

Cicadas tring’s are like a thousand metal balls falling onto a steel base at incredible speed. The leaves of forest green, purple tinted trees and saturated, chocolate brown trunks rustle to the swift winds. Everything seems immersed within rosy pink hues. The never ending line of pastel houses are dyed in various shades of the cool evening : Fuchsias, violets, purples, blues, cycans with small windows twinkling against the darkening surroundings. The skies seem like a vast purple-blue ocean with cotton-candy clouds set afloat, sparkling specks beginning to emerge randomly with a lone, shy crescent hidden behind a large chunk of fluff. The cobbled grey path, embedded with glossy stones turns darker illuminated by street lights seems like the long tail of a dragon with stony scales.

The path, the road grows busy as tired, slow figures track their ways back home. Bags, briefcases weighing them down until the magical doors open. The drooping shoulders rise, knitted brows relax and the frowns upturn as the gurgling laughters and warm greetings welcome them home.

An aroma created by the well balanced hints of herbs, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, coconut milk cream and gentle sincerity tease the nose as curious high-piped queries pop from the kitchens. Along with the appetizing sounds of stews bubbling within gleaming-silver steel pots and the rain-like popping of oil in non-stick pans as if a million mini-explosions were forming a glossy , crisp caramel-brown layer on the tender, pink pieces of fish.

Clatters of ceramic dinner plates and numerous unified tings of silverware as the table is set. Soon there are giggles, satisfied slurps turning weary, frowning cheeks rosy again with relaxed ‘ahs’ and enthusiastic, pleasantly surprised comments of ‘delicious’ escaping tempted lips.

Although her countenance states the comparative mediocrity of the meal in every aspect with lacking greens and dehydrated carrots, peas with plentiful, plain rice and the watery curry resembling mud, its blandness becomes bearable due to the presence of a loved one’s voice , resonating from the squared black device besides the plate. The lone chews now partner with chatters, laughter and ardent inflection hitherto the parting good-byes and a ‘click’ as the device reassumes its unanimated disposition.

Silent relaxed steps proceed up the creaking wooden stairs. Thereafter are gentle clicks of doors and the frothy sound of a bath being filled. The soothing fragrance of lavender and peppermint traces its way out from within the bathroom along with the light, warm steam.

A relaxed sigh and mellow hums of songs long forgotten, a chuckle. With a deep, long drawn breath, she climbs into the pink duvet as it gently fluffs over, inflating over the tiny figure that has placed her head upon the soft, marshmallow like pillow.

After a while of silence faint rythemic breathes emerge as the duvet seems to slightly arise then collapse, periodically.

Not far from the willowy strands of hair lies the metallic device as the light flutters out of it, its disappearance leaving the device void, glassy and deadly silent.

I have been procrastinating on creating this for a very long time now , almost a year , for I couldn't even attempt to capture the way this playlist made me feel , especially the warmth and calm I felt listening to it which led to me imagining such a day in the life of a girl , later I realized how I had unknowingly created this contrast between the time she spent with her loved one and those small moments of emptiness it had created in her busy life , I think it is something that happens to all of us and the first picture that perfectly captured that feeling of loneliness and yearning (when she is eating alone) for me was this :

It stole my heart and I wanted to center this teddy and his life for the writing, unfortunately I couldn't find more images of the bear.( If you find any please send me the links ! ) I then saw the image of this white haired girl going about her daily life and then I stepped on the mine : her life with and without her boyfriend , and I finally found the perfect illustrations to create this post.

The art is by the artist shato (샤토) , and this is the instagram profile :
