Key: Bored

Have you ever wondered how the keyboard was invented? How the inventor(s) came up with the QWERTY arrangement, what symbols have to pair with each of the numeric keys, the idea of putting a Tab key, why is the Enter/Return key called like that, and stuff. (Wild guess: this must have been created decades ago, along with ancient typewriters.)
Of course, the modern keyboard nowadays is more popularly identified with computers. Several keys have also been added to fit the demands of modern computing/typing.

These keys never caught my attention until right now. They help me remember. Sounds insane but the idea is the closest thing to what is on my mind at this moment.

CTRL - Mind over matter. But to what extent can my brain hold everything in place to make sure I'm still in control? With a damaged heart, it won't go that far.

ALT - That is why people have options. If this one doesn't work for me, then I'll start a new one. Leave all the baggage that made me choose to drive along the alternate route.

SHIFT - Grow up. I can do better.

Tab - I have been crawling my life for almost a year now. I'm being dragged by something I can't escape. Not until a few more rounds. It's like I'm tied to it with an enchanted rope, a rope that won't break, not until the owner dies. But it doesn't matter. I feel like it's getting less and less tight as days pass. After that, I think it's time to take bigger steps and prepare myself for 'the giant leap' to Med school (in just a couple of months)

Fn - Function. Work. Job. Responsibility. I hope everyone comprehends the first three words in a way they read the fourth one, especially on things where the future hangs on the balance.

Enter - It's very distinct among everyone else. It pushes you down, and it never stops. One moment you won't even realize that you already hit rock bottom. What's worse is when it begins to chop off the ideas that were once coherent. It separates one from the other. Just one line and it's over.

Backspace - I hope everything will get back to how they've been before. It is possible, but the hard part is you have to delete everything - what's been thought of, said, done, heard, felt, etc. The worse part: people don't usually do that. People can't. *sigh* Things will never be the same again, ever.

Del - We all make mistakes.. and that's how we grow. We either rewrite it, or, think of someting else to write. Me? I prefer the latter.

Home - This is where I can always go back to where I started without compromising everything that has been done: my family.

Pg Dn - There are a lot of things, billions, in my mind to be remembered. In fact, what's currently on the surface is the sometimes the one that tells my mood. But we all know that dwelling in these memories will lead us to nowhere but here. Only here.

Pg Up - It is where I want to be. If could only skip all the things that has to be done to reach that goal..

End - A new beginning is about to come. Behold.

F Keys - Oh, I almost forgot them. These are the people I knew since World War II (kidding.) There are 12 of them. There is the funny, the futile, the fag, make that two, the friendly, the fake, the first-lady, the flirt, the three foul creatures, and a fairy.
Twelve *F'n* people living in harmony.
