    End of 2022 | New Year 2023

    2022 was like cryptic poetry. A stack of unopened boxes full of mystery. It started with intimately wrapped presents encased under pretty gift wrappers, opening to a delightful surprise at a new dawn. A series of firsts after the long lockdown and life began to restart after 3 years. Work came in full swing and…

  • Lonely Thursdays

    Lonely Thursdays

    It was a lonely Thursday when I impulsively got on that plane to find myself.  Soothe the trembling hands from a longing so unbearably painful, the noise from my throbbing chest so awfully loud.  Is this how it is to love truly? To intentionally be blind from candied lies and dilated pride? Could I even…

    3rd Quarter Musings

    I think—no, I believe I haven’t written in a very loooong time.

I started this back last year if I’m not mistaken? And I…

  • The Day Everything Changed

    The Day Everything Changed

    One full year isolated from friends and loved ones. One full year out of work, out of school. One full year of faces hidden behind a collection of masks. One full year of life as we know it, thrown into complete disarray. Exactly a year ago when the world went into a standstill, locked down…

    Grey and Yellow

    2020 was life-changing, it was exceptionally challenging that I can’t even put in a good word. It was unremarkably heavy, a burdened weight unnecessarily shouldered for the past 10 months. Suddenly, everyone had to forego with comfortable, we did not have a choice and that was frustrating. Life had to hide behind the mask. Loss…

    I never imagined getting affected by the flimsiest of things but here I am, a chaotic mess of sad, angry and feeling bad. Yes, I felt bad.

  • Vivid dreams

    They say the moments that’s had the most impact in your life are the most vivid. I remember the dining table was round. I ate eggs for breakfast that triggered my allergies. My elbows were swollen. The bathroom door was brown and open when I received the first hit from the belt’s buckle. I was…
