People are books, individual tales; each, a vessel for one great epic. In the beginning, when we haven’t reached full autonomy quite yet, we pretty much get the same prologue. Our parents teach us how to walk and learn the ABCs. We go to school, and through the same motions too. We eventually realize thatContinue reading “the longest book you will ever read”

the rich are poor.
Imagine a world where the masses Are not taken advantage of By megacorporations and fortune 500s A place where the people value people Over any objective entity Paper money Folding money Card money Take the note If it is not my fault It is not your fault It is neither of our faults And itContinue reading “the rich are poor.”
The true and untrue.
The true and the untrue are far more alike than they are different. True is the antithesis of untrue. Likewise, untrue, the antithesis of true. They are antonyms, as are “good and bad,” and “right and wrong.” We like to convince ourselves that we are able to decipher the difference between the two, but whenContinue reading “The true and untrue.”
They collided by chance: the ISTJ-T and the ENFP-A
I try not to stress, but it doesn’t work all the time. There are eight ways of knowing, and I prefer to lead by reason. Time is of the essence. My priorities are set, and the mind should always be clear of distractions. After all, my rule book has never led me to the wrongContinue reading “They collided by chance: the ISTJ-T and the ENFP-A”
the guard.
On this particular morning, I sat on the bench that overlooked the school garden, and wondered what it would feel like to fall out the window. Not in an ending way, but in a freeing way. I got up and walked down the flight of stairs to the first floor, where the doors were wideContinue reading “the guard.”
To see my world from your POV.
Pt. 2 of what keeps you up at night Lately, I’ve been really getting into languages. I began to brush up on my Japanese, speaking French for the first time since grade 8, and I just started to learn Python. That’s six languages. I find joy in learning lingos because it’s sort of like aContinue reading “To see my world from your POV.”
our imagined truths.
There is no such thing as true truths, only imagined truths. These depictions of reality are shaped to align with our own narratives. It’s what we want to see. The act of seeing is not really seeing. It’s only looking, because it’s impossible to see everything. I mean, to really dissect what’s unfolding in frontContinue reading “our imagined truths.”
what keeps you up at night? pt.1
It’s difficult for me to fathom into words, the constellation I see in my mind. This web, however, is not made of stars nor is it a vessel of fire, each with its own civilization tangled within the depths of space. I hope you enjoyed the somewhat poetic intro. Let’s dive straight into it: WhyContinue reading “what keeps you up at night? pt.1”
“A waste of time.”
I can assure you, I felt the same way. Working on myself just wasn’t the same as putting the same amount of time towards others. Every day, I would write out a long list of to-dos, and I would come last, sometimes not at all. It was a waste of time. Reallocating the slightest bitContinue reading ““A waste of time.””
