Bittersweet Tangerines

today i watched When Life Gives You Tangerine—one of the most beautiful k-dramas i've ever seen. it captured the raw essence of life in a way no other drama has. a masterpiece.

the apartment is clean now, the air still carrying the faint scent of soap and warm dust. i played with my baby sister, her laughter filling the space like sunlight slipping through half-open blinds. then i sank into the world of that drama, letting it consume me. and now, here i am—2:24 am, typing, thinking, breathing in the quiet weight of night.

tomorrow, reality waits for me. work, responsibilities, the rhythm of life pulling me back. but tonight? tonight, i exist in this soft, aching in-between.

c’est la vie. je suis enamoré de la vie. all of it. the pain, the love, the quiet moments, the heartbreak. the way pain reminds us we’re alive—the way it makes us love harder, cry deeper. it’s indescribable.
