traversing the world is usually like learning abt its expansiveness as well as its limits. it's ironic how such a tiny world is able to accommodate so much variety and complexity. when we travel out, we're confronted with an irony: the more we discover, the more we see that there is still so much to be discovered and known. it makes me realize that we truly don’t know everything... and that’s okay... » Continue Reading
nostalgia hits me like a train, to the point vines crawl through the cracks of my old wall, surrounding the grime of my old soul until i see no filth at all, the flowers have withered, dried, and died under my old tree, must i mourn a mind that feels like a living cemetery? or shall i just roam the forest that forever calls me? oh sonder , i even miss the days i spent with total strangers, » Continue Reading
a box jam-packed with entirely different orbeez, bound with one short ribbon that ties them all together. each one grew in their own way; some refused to grow, » Continue Reading
oh to be a poet's muse, would you seek me the way the words could drive you wild to do? would you carve my raw and shallow presence into the light of the sun and the depths of the ocean? would my every "yes" or "no" tremble through the core of your soul? i am no poet, but i think about your every stroke of the pen like the cluster of fireflies drifting through the grass, brushing the darkness » Continue Reading
how do you empty a mind that feels like a loaded gun? and how do you fill a soul that feels like an empty glass? it's strange how ironic i've become, knowing too much and yet understanding nothing but i never asked to make sense of it all i never wanted truths that cut their way in and i don't need the weight of knowing. i think about that cloud i used to lie under, places i know i could never go » Continue Reading
one of the things i'm most grateful for in life is when it rains, and i get to drink hot cocoa while wearing my favorite cozy socks. it just hits me that i live a stable life with my whole family, and we're all safe. i always end up reflecting on stuff like this. like i can't help but count what i have. most of the bad things that happened to me were bc of my own choices, but i don't blame myself ... » Continue Reading
5/12 | 7:18 post meridiem [on a bus] riding the bus. listening to music. eating a hot jamaican patty. staring out at the city that just got hit by rain. windows fogged up a little. lights reflecting everywhere. felt like a scene out of a movie. 5/12 | 7:31 post meridiem [on a bus] tell me why this felt so romantic. like, nothing » Continue Reading
i can’t play the game of “who’s real and who’s fake” when i barely even know who i am. it feels weird and hypocritical, even to judge the authenticity of others when i haven’t even figured out my own identity. ppl say things like judgment towards other ppl abt their realness so casually, but how can i call someone fake when i’m still unsure of what being “real” even means for me? » Continue Reading
maybe the human mind rlly is just naturally complicated. i want to say i understand myself, but there’s this part of me that i just can't grasp, no matter how hard i try. it’s like the answer is right there, sitting in front of me, but i can’t open it. like a gift that’s not meant for me. all i can do is sit here and wonder— why am i like this? my questions feel so complex, but the answers are » Continue Reading

T.T _____________________________________________________________________ why did i have a bad dream, wake up from it, and still feel the heaviness in my chest? the worst part is that it's 6am, and my room feels so gloomy and quiet. it’s like i never left the dream. i’m still sitting on my bed, too terrified to move, paralyzed by... » Continue Reading
