It seems as if the internet has collectively come to a consensus that 2025 has completely knocked the wind out of them. Like a sucker punch to the gut that has somehow caught you off guard, no matter how prepared you thought you were. And during this time of reflective resets, I can’t help butContinue reading “2025”

Arrhythmia and Joy on the Floor
I’ve revelled in the nostalgic pull of Spotify Wrapped in 2025. Music has always played a significant role in my life, despite having little to no talent for it. And I’ve found it somewhat ironic that I studied audio production in my tertiary years. I’m thankful to God for the wonders of music and theContinue reading “Arrhythmia and Joy on the Floor”
Sleepless
Ever since returning home, there has been a strange quality to my nights. They’ve become longer despite daylight staying longer for the summer, and my mornings have been stolen by the sleepy concoctions of a different time zone. Yet, I would still like to be welcomed into the day by the morning sun once more.Continue reading “Sleepless”
Equinox
The rain comes and goes in droves of cats and dogs, ushering in longer days as the seasons change. Today is the day when perfect balance between light and dark is achieved. And each hemisphere sees the sun equally. On this day, what is it that you hope to achieve? Still, the internal battle continuesContinue reading “Equinox”
Unreliable
When people let you down in a lengthy string of offences, it’s difficult to rely on them when you need help. In the past few months, I’ve been spread out so thinly—a consequence of distractions and misplaced priorities, no doubt. There were weeks of bodily stress manifesting in an onslaught of ulcers in my mouth,Continue reading “Unreliable”
Funny Fever Dreams and 1AM Night Skies
It’s not every day you get to turn funny fever-dream-filled conversations into little joyrides down to the waterside. I’m not even sure what came over me in the moments leading up to the absurd exchanges of lame wit and nonsensical trains of thought. Methinks I was trying really hard to avoid a low that hadContinue reading “Funny Fever Dreams and 1AM Night Skies”
A Milk Carton Is All It Is
This morning, I unwittingly stumbled across an old memoir of mine. It was somewhat of an absurd attachment, yet it still held considerable significance in my eyes. Looking at it stirred a range of feelings within me. I remember the warmth, the tongue-in-cheek humour, and the thoughtfulness this milk carton once conveyed. You heard right.Continue reading “A Milk Carton Is All It Is”
Autumn is for the lovers and dreamers
Yesterday’s date used to mean something to me. But now, it’s just another day in April that my phone has reminded me about. I spent the majority of it on my own with small things I did to distract myself from past disappointments. I thought I was diligent enough to get rid of such reminders,Continue reading “Autumn is for the lovers and dreamers”
Lover Girl
We’ve travelled another year around the sun, and now we’re here. It’s Valentine’s Day. Just another day of bittersweet feelings. Seeing love and loving that love for others, but painfully remembering that you don’t have it. Funnily enough, you had someone to share life with last year, yet today is the second Valentine’s Day inContinue reading “Lover Girl”
I Ate Seven Ice Blocks
There’s a sense of childlike joy you feel chasing after ice cream trucks down the street. And I find it a little ironic because I never did that as a kid. Not because I wasn’t allowed to, but just because we had ice cream at home. It was simply more expensive to buy them fromContinue reading “I Ate Seven Ice Blocks”
