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”

Sunshine and Summer Days
Isn’t it funny how brightly the sun seems to shine even on days you feel close to death? Make no mistake, I am remarkably overjoyed to have spent this weekend celebrating a momentous occasion—and perhaps even more time preparing for a bride and bridegroom through the throes of early-morning flower market runs, the monotony ofContinue reading “Sunshine and Summer Days”
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”
Season of Daffodils
During the season of daffodils, when October fast approaches, the squeeze of deadlines has tightened its grip on me. Everything is happening in October.

I have been in love before. I recall the sensation in my chest, the butterflies in my stomach, and the thrill of the cat-and-mouse dating game. What is it like to be in love? Because I’m pretty sure what I just described sounds like the deceptive workings of anxiety. It’s the excitement of learning toContinue reading “What is it like to be in love?”
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”
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”
Soup Is a Labour of Love
I love soup. I love purées, creams, and bisques. But most of all, to me, nothing surpasses the humble soup broth. They’re light, rich in flavour, and deeply comforting. When done right, of course. There’s a certain satisfaction I find in a well-made, clear broth. And they’re most definitely a labour of love. Just lastContinue reading “Soup Is a Labour of Love”
Did I Ever Mean Anything to You
Yesterday, two people I love got married. She was a girl I met just after I finished high school, and he was someone I met during my first year of university. I met each of them in different places for different reasons, so it was odd to hear that they had connected many years later.Continue reading “Did I Ever Mean Anything to You”
