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”
Light a Spark
I envy the men who can be gentle with their words and still have the privilege of being heard. You were given grace. And somehow, you have commanded respect from your peers, not needing to rely on aggression. Never needing to repeat yourself, and never having to justify every idea to them. I envy you.Continue reading “Light a Spark”
The Language of Consequences
It was just a mistake. I never should have done that to you. In what world would that ever be considered a proper apology? The world is watching you, you traitor. And I wonder how you would feel being compared to your father, brother, or any other role model. Would you turn up your faceContinue reading “The Language of Consequences”
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”
