Calendars are fantastic when you know how to use them. I thrive on keeping my calendar updated because it’s incredibly satisfying to know everything is organised. Before everyone’s lives were uprooted and we were plunged into lockdown, my planners kept me going. I had all events and appointments marked, accurate to the quarter hour. AndContinue reading “Calendars”

Small and Mighty
Two nights ago, I was feeling pretty bummed out. I needed to distract myself from my worries, and it didn’t feel like a Netflix night. I wanted to see my friends. But it just so happens that we get busier as we get older, and it’s harder to catch your loved ones, even if onlyContinue reading “Small and Mighty”
Abandoned
In the garden of Gethsemane, the battle was won. Jesus knew the path ahead of him and all the pain and suffering he would have to endure. Yet, he surrendered to God’s will, knowing all this. Still, even Jesus despaired. In his distress, Jesus approached the Father three times and prayed to Him. Jesus, hisContinue reading “Abandoned”
Location Unknown
Being on the flight to Japan was exciting. I hadn’t been in a long time, and it comforted me to experience it again. And with that, I found myself in a familiar city that had changed with time. The air was slightly cooler than I remember, but it still had a strange quality to itContinue reading “Location Unknown”
Growing Old
In a cosy corner of a Thai restaurant, we were seated at a booth in the back during a lunch date a little later than when people usually eat. Between our conversations about the food, there were talks about memories of friendship and war, talks of work and leisure, and of growing old. I wasContinue reading “Growing Old”

I always find it interesting how people view me. Most of the time, I hear that people have found me scary and intimidating. Other descriptions include: interesting, thoughtful, insane, and “has no chill”. This reminded me of a conversation I had a while ago. I sighed and told my friend that I’m a little insecureContinue reading “Winter Coat”
Cereal Mix
If the past two weeks of my life were a bowl of cereal, It would be as if a toddler had grabbed All the different types of cereal from the pantry And added every single one to his bowl; And he would clumsily spill a little Onto the countertop each time he went back forContinue reading “Cereal Mix”
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”
I Can’t Complain
Yesterday, I was unhappy About the girl I saw in the mirror, But ignored the physical flaws In favour of an extraordinary day Overflowing with joyous celebration. I was anxious having to wait For a car that never came, And needing to find A new way to the room Of happy eyes and masked smiles.Continue reading “I Can’t Complain”
The Window to the Sky
As a new beginning dawned On a beach where we once stood, During the dark hues of a dusk, Where the stars were shy And the waters, mysterious. We smiled at each other And greeted the cloudy sky. Like a young heartbeat, the window to the sky slowly flickered a pale yellow. To know yourContinue reading “The Window to the Sky”
