The Tower That Dreamed of Falling
Strength as a Silent Burden
A mighty stone tower watched centuries of storms, wars, and festivals. It wished secretly to collapse, longing for release from its duty. A young architect visiting the site placed her palm on its cold surface and whispered, “You don’t have to fall to be free.” She built a spiral staircase inside, filling the tower with life and footsteps once more. Feeling useful again, the tower abandoned its longing and stood tall not out of obligation, but pride.

The Clock That Waited for No One
A solitary clock hung in an old train station, ticking relentlessly despite the building’s emptiness. Travelers claimed its hands never slowed, not even for storms or celebrations. One evening, a young girl entered the station crying silently. As her tear fell onto the clock’s frame, the ticking stopped. Minutes paused, the world stilled, and the girl cried until she could cry no more. When she finally smiled—small, hesitant—the clock resumed. Villagers later said time itself had paused to honor her sadness, teaching them that even the strongest forces bend for a breaking heart.

Where do hobbies come from when it comes to life?
As we live life, how does it happen? Do we just get a job and work ourselves to death? How is it that we know what we want to do for a job, do we just think of things that we enjoy and that is how we figure out what job we want? Well, hobbies come from enjoying things that help us relax and clear our minds. As life goes on year after year, it gets busier and busier no matter the person. With life being so much busier do we think of the things that help us relax and regroup and where it comes from? Yes we do, we turn to our hobbies and look at how much they help us relax and regroup after long hard days at work, and all the running around that we do. Living life isn’t all about work as we all know and that is where the hobbies come into play. Hobbies come into our lives by doing the things that we enjoy to relax and clear our minds. This can be anything that we want it to be.
