There’s something rather unsettling about finding your footing after a big fall. Do you twist your ankle on the way down and make a mess of your clothes in the mud? Your pristine, white tee, now covered in streaks of dirt and other unsavoury unknowns. Perhaps you have grazed your elbows and knees—and while yourContinue reading “Friend or Foe”

Liar
I don’t like liars… but who does? After all, they are as cunning as they are dishonest. They are selfish and greedy. And never do what they have promised. Some liars are cowards. For they fool themselves into believing they are good. And he fooled you too. But just because he could, it didn’t meanContinue reading “Liar”
Daybreak
Balmoral Beach, January 6th, 5:22am. It is finally daybreak. In the quiet of daybreak, Between the night of yesterday And the dawn of the new year, I sit in silence among the grey space. I wait for the warm hues of the dawning sun To provide comfort to my frigid skin, But does not reachContinue reading “Daybreak”
2025
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”
Love is an endless sacrifice
Love hurts. Don’t you think so? I imagine the God of the universe feels this way every day. I often think about His love for us—how incomprehensibly big it is, and how painful it must be to love someone who doesn’t love you back. To have His heart broken all the time through the separationContinue reading “Love is an endless sacrifice”
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”
Sink or Swim
The life of a creative is comical, cathartic, and chronically chaotic. Oftentimes, I wonder whether there’s a way out of this kind of life. No two days are the same. Mondays are always novel—there is something to look forward to after slow Sunday afternoons, and there is little dread in the trepidation of thinking aboutContinue reading “Sink or Swim”
Special Day
Today was just an ordinary day. One like any other. But today’s date is special. As I gloss over the date I celebrate, I remember my brother is another year older. Of course, he’s not at home—out with his girlfriend and shared loved ones, I presume. And I’m glad he gets to enjoy today, notContinue reading “Special Day”
The Third Woman
There aren’t many things that take me by surprise. Let’s call it a defence mechanism. My brain works too well at predicting patterns and identifying threats… so much so that surprises aren’t really surprises anymore. But because of the ways I’ve been hurt, that uncertainty feels like a very dangerous thing. In fact, I declinedContinue reading “The Third Woman”
I Remember You
It was just a regular Thursday night, and the first time I’d ever told you that I needed you. I found myself ashamed that I couldn’t hold it together, crying to you over the phone. I remember you. As emotions ran high, when the shock and frustration kicked in, my first thought was to figureContinue reading “I Remember You”
