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”

Last Laugh
Is it a normal response to wish ill will on the people who have wronged you? I used to think that immoral satisfaction in seeing people struggle was normal. After making jests at my expense or choosing to not heed my warning, it was indeed the irony that made such situations humorous. And in myContinue reading “Last Laugh”
I Still Found Ways To Love You
My mind seems to have found an odd neural pathway I thought was long gone. Destroyed out of self-preservation and unwillingness to put myself in similar situations as I once was. A state of overwhelm after being subjected to an onslaught of information, with little time to process it. It’s a constant battle to outpaceContinue reading “I Still Found Ways To Love You”

And I am ashamed it took me so long to recognise that I allowed it to happen over andContinue reading “2024”
Words Left Unspoken
How many days of radio silence would it take before your mind starts to stir? If they’re your person, I think it’s safe to expect a small message at least once during the day. A good morning, goodnight, or this made me think of you is reasonable to expect when in a relationship, right? WithContinue reading “Words Left Unspoken”
Happier
Lately, I’ve been thinking about something that seems to have been eating away at me for a while. It’s this feeling of being too much. My friends tell me, You’re not high maintenance. And I see it in their eyes that they mean it. Why was I so convinced otherwise? Well, it’s simple really. YouContinue reading “Happier”
