Not everything must be handled with grace; some things are meant to be cast away with force.


"Not everything must be handled with grace; some things are meant to be cast away with force."

How my heart blazes, how my hands tremble—weathering my own storms just to find my way back to myself.

I have come to realize that not everything must be endured with kindness, and that some things must be struck down with a heavy hand. For too long, I have nurtured the path I walked, but this time, I choose to let it go. For not every path deserves to be tended.

I know how harsh this world can be, not only to me but to all of you reading this. Therefore, understand this: not every hardship must be met with gentleness. Sometimes, you must become the storm to withstand the gale.

And for the final time in my life, I will carry my world further than it has ever been. I will ensure that this time, I truly lift my feet and move forward—without a single glance back.

This is how I choose to live from now on.

16:00 he was there, beneath the rain.

For the first time, I watched those dimples smile—beautifully unsettling me. And yes, just as chronicled by the experts of observation, I spontaneously embraced it. Have you ever watched Narnia? That immensely popular fantasy film. I have seen it, by the way, and truly, I wish to live inside it. I care not that a fantasy world is the very thing manifesting my dreams. And I will forever do so, because that is my life; half of my life dwells within it. Look: I found these words. I wrote them a long time ago, for I adore Narnia so deeply. Especially because Aslan is in it: a majestic brown lion who became the savior of mankind, guarding a nation and even freeing humans from the sadism of tyranny.  Aslan also breathed life back into the creatures turned to stone by the White Witch. To me, Aslan is the true creator and protector of Narnia, who always returns to obliterate evil. Returning to my story; because it seems "Aslan" is the perfect name for him. An...

"Is it better to speak or to die?"

"Is it better to speak or to die?" Is a profound popularized by (Call Me By Your Name) "What will I choose?" For me, speaking has always been one of the many arts of expression, whatever form it may take. Speak. Let it out. If forced to choose, would it be better to choose to speak, or to choose to die? Ah, there is something else you must know: expressing yourself does not always have to be spoken aloud. There are countless mediums—painting, writing, singing, or even weeping. Are these not all ways for us to express the soul? So, let us not be afraid. Because all of it is art. And I am one of those humans who will speak through my writings, for it seems I am not so gifted at saying things directly. Pouring my heart out is a form of tranquility that always brings me back to myself. Through it, I come to know who I am—discovering what I desire and what I do not, understanding what I must do and what I must leave behind. How many languages in this world do...

~ How Deeply I Love My Life

— How Deeply I Love My Life Sometimes the world forces us to accept what we do not desire; we are conditioned to simply nod in agreement. And when we refuse, we often find ourselves haunted by the question, "why?" To me, not everything demands an answer. If only we realized that the answers already reside within us, and in everything around us.  Since 2022, the most precious lesson I have learned is "how to truly accept my life ." And in that acceptance, I stopped worrying about everything happening to me. Though occasionally I stray from my own principles, I always manage to find my footing again—and that is simply who I am. Saying this does not mean we should merely accept things without putting in the effort. But that is the truth of it: not every path is meant for us to walk. Every soul has its own journey, entirely distinct from the rest. Oh, how acceptance is a verb I must grapple with for the rest of my life. The more one embraces it, the more pe...
