And if you really must, do so gently.

You know I think it’s the little things that make people beautiful, and are people beautiful? In every shred of the corners of this universe, yes they absolutely are.

Like the quiet rituals that feel so small they might slip through your fingers but are somehow weighty enough to hold your entire world together. The first sip of coffee that’s less about caffeine and more about a silent dialogue with your spirit. Or the sunlight that sneaks through the curtains and paints an unexpected masterpiece on your walls, as if the universe decided to bless your room for no reason at all. These are the unassuming moments that don’t shout, don’t demand to be noticed, but they wait, knowing full well they are the heartbeat of life itself.


More often than not, in the middle of winning wars or moving mountains, people lose themselves in the little things. And I think that’s the most beautiful thing about people. The way we stumble into these moments without realizing we’re about to turn them into memories. It’s how someone brushes their hair away while lost in thought, their brow furrowed with the weight of an unsolved mystery. Or the way a sheepish smile sneaks out, betraying a flicker of innocence that still lives somewhere deep within their soul. These little things, they aren’t just details; they’re the very essence of what makes life feel human, magical, and heartbreakingly fleeting.


It’s true, isn’t it? The biggest joys in life often come from the little things. How the sunlight catches someone’s face just right, turning them into your muse without them ever knowing it. How kindness, even the smallest gesture, becomes unforgettable, burrowing itself into someone’s heart and staying there. Or how you watch someone, utterly fascinated by the way they just exist, but you don’t try to change or own them. You simply let them be, and in that letting, you discover something profound, love isn’t about possession; it’s about presence.


While sometimes we do need to let go, but when we do, we do it gently, with a kind of love that doesn’t cling but still lingers in the air like the smell of rain-soaked earth. These small gestures of surrender, of quiet grace, they teach us that love doesn’t always need to be loud or victorious. Sometimes it’s in the letting go, the soft unraveling, that love finds its truest form.


Maybe that’s the secret the little things hold. They remind us that life isn’t the sum of grand gestures or towering achievements. It’s in the tender moments that seem so inconsequential but are, in truth, the foundation of everything. It’s in how people forget themselves while losing wars or moving mountains, yet find pieces of their soul in the curve of a smile, the glint of sunlight, or the warmth of a fleeting touch. And if you really must, do so gently, because the little things? They’re not so little after all.

Miles of space to play with

People like to believe the universe is some grand orchestrator, shuffling fate cards like a moody blackjack dealer. But sometimes, it just sits back with popcorn and watches two people fumble their way into a slow-burning disaster that smells vaguely of espresso and unresolved tension. Enter Nat and Miles, two souls with more chemistry than a freshman lab fire, and just about as much common sense. By now, I assume you know Miles a bit. So allow me to introduce Nat. Nat. Now there’s a piece of work the universe clearly cooked up on a cheeky day. All sharp wit, unreadable playlists, and the kind of elegance that doesn’t try, it just is. She walks into a room like she already knows the ending but still watches everyone else catch up. She’ll dissect a business pitch, write a blog that punches through your chest, and still look vaguely annoyed that you haven’t figured out how she takes her coffee (strong, like her opinions, with a splash of skimmed milk and quiet judgment). But don’t be foo...

a few more Miles than just the Moon and back (:

There are two kinds of people in the world: the ones you meet, exchange pleasantries with, and promptly forget the moment they leave the room—and then there are the ones who, for no logical reason at all, get stuck in your head like a poorly-written pop song . The kind that shouldn’t linger but does, that worms its way into your subconscious, popping up at odd moments—when you’re tying your shoelaces, when you’re waiting for the kettle to boil, when you’re halfway through a meeting pretending to care about synergy but are actually wondering what someone drinks on a Saturday night. People never really choose which category someone falls into, and if Miles had been given the choice, he probably would’ve filed Her under forgettable and called it a day. Except he wasn’t given the choice. It wasn’t love at first sight, (blows raspberries) or even admiration. Nothing theatrical, no fireworks, no grand epiphany. Just five seconds. A glance across a jazz bar, a half-empty drink, a laugh h...

Miles to go before I sleep.

If you asked Miles about that morning—months later, years later, in some dimly lit bar when his guard was down—he wouldn’t be able to tell you why it mattered. Not at first. He’d frown, tilt his head like he was trying to shake loose the answer, and maybe laugh it off, saying something dismissive like, “It was just a weird moment. Nothing, really.” But that would be a lie. Because the truth is, the world is full of people you meet and forget, faces that blur into a background you never bother to sharpen. And then, there are the ones who—without meaning to, without even trying—get stuck . Not because they want to be, but because, for one reason or another, your mind refuses to let them go. And that’s exactly how this started. Not with some grand revelation. Not with sparks flying or a moment that changed everything. Just four seconds. A flicker of something real in a woman who wasn’t supposed to be real to him. A moment so small it should have disappeared into the mess of his day, but ...
