Goodbye Darkness, My Old Friend

Content

There must be some way to cheer the world up. It's rained recently. The clouds are moody and the grass is drooping, covered in tears. The tree in our back garden moans in the wind, trying to tell us how lonely it is. No-one listens but me. No-one ever listens but me. My parents call me into the living room to receive my presents. Florida hands me hers first, and I take it gently. The poor...

Outstanding reviews

I like the title, that alone is great. Great story as well.
Great job, made me think about how the things that connect people can seem so trivial from the outside looking in but result in something so meaningful.
Thank you!! 🤍 So glad this made you think, that's what I aim most to do with my stories, after entertaining ❤️
Beautifully written and powerful. I have seen the multiple perspectives thing before but this definitely brought some fresh. Simon and Garfunkel is always a nice soundtrack to a written story as well :)Great work again Khadija. I think yours was my favorite from last week. The louvre one.Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!! 🤍 Your support means so much to me.
What a lovely story. He, the “different one” opened the world for her!
Thank you! 🤍
A beautiful story showing how two people can view the same world very differently. I like how Cody has chosen to share his vision of the world with his sister and the dark mood is lifted from her. A lovely ending.
Thank you 💜🤍💜. Seeing a comment from you always makes my day ❤️.
You seem to second guess your selection of titles when you instinctively get it right each time. Another precious story revealing the relationship of family. Glad Cody could pull her out of depression.
Thank you!! 💙🤍
This was very sweet and endearing Khadija. And the gentle message of support via the inclusion of others into our worlds is super wholesome.I love reading your work!
Thank you 💖. And I love writing them ;) 😁
I love this! And the title's fine. I really like how the two of them have completely different perspectives on the same things around them, and I love how you showed the world from Cody's perspective, it's really cool! The way Cody brings joy to his sister is a stroke of genius. Well done. :)
Thank you!!! 💗
I love the song. It’s one of my favorites. Our moods do color our world, and sometimes another person’s actions can change our outlook. Your story rings of the truth! (:
Thank you so much! I got that song stuck in my head a week ago, even though I was sure I'd never heard it before. Those were the only lyrics I remembered! (Isn't it annoying when you have a song stuck in your head but you can only remember a word or two of the lyrics?)
It’s called “Sounds of Silence.”if you wanted to look up the rest of the lyrics. 😊
