Welcome to the home of my night owl thoughts.
Life is difficult. Not can be, might be, or most likely will be, but is. It’s a world-renowned fact known by everyone. Sure, there are moments of reprieve and times when we can go through life by doing the bare minimum, but it doesn’t take away from its harshness and difficulty. And with this realityContinue reading “Becoming Too Comfortable”
Love often makes us brittle. We become paper thin, a piece of parchment, folded and creased several times over. Love makes us do crazy things. It makes us skydive out of a moving plane, a million miles out of the air, just to prove our feelings for another person are real. Love is… strange. ItContinue reading “On Love”
2020. A year of short-lived lives, a year of unexpected goodbyes, a year of grieving and mourning, a year of wondering whether this cough will let us see the sun tomorrow morning. Perhaps this was the year we all needed, to show us how precious and unbelievably short our lives really are. It has beenContinue reading “Reset.”

I tend to forget things easily, whether it be memories or personally owned items. I would misplace my belongings constantly, causing me to go on a rampant fifteen to thirty minute search. The bigger the item, the longer it would remain lost. But by some twist of fate, it would show up in the mostContinue reading “Musings of the Heart Pt. 21: Findings”
For him, he had high highs and low lows. There was no such thing as an in between.
