Just musings.

What’s the dream?




Oh, it’s catastrophically specific and absurdly unattainable. Picture this: someone who reads ancient poetry in candlelight but also curses like a sailor when they stub their toe. Someone who could win a swordfight at dawn and still look effortlessly disheveled by noon. The kind of person who drinks coffee like it’s a religious ritual but secretly loves cheap instant noodles at 3 a.m. A storm in their heart, an opera in their soul.

A nerd who loves his turtlenecks, someone who underlines their books with a fountain pen, who sighs dramatically in museums, and someone who owns a pocket watch and uses it unironically. Poets who look like they might vanish if you touch them, characters who live in storms, and the person in the corner of the library who smells like ancient paper and regret. Add to that someone who drinks coffee as if he needs it in his blood, someone who plays the violin like it’s a matter of life and death, and someone who stares at the stars like they’re bargaining with fate.



Oh, and let’s not forget the ones who collect old maps of places that don’t exist, the shadowy figure you pass on a rainy street who’s definitely keeping a secret, and the artist who only paints in candlelight. The dream? It’s anyone who looks like they were written into existence by a moody 19th-century author fueled by unrequited love and existential dread.


I like them a little unhinged, like they’ve seen the edges of the universe and came back to tell the tale—messy-haired, slightly haunted, but with a laugh that feels like a firelight on cold nights. Give me the ones who have heartbreak etched into their eyes but still find joy in chasing stray cats down cobblestone streets. The ones who look at the world like it’s both a battlefield and a blank canvas.





To find, and to keep. And to love, with all my might. 


That, my friend, is the dream. (:









love always,

S

A Flicker in Forever.

As I walk among penumbras where time folds thin, An echo, a ripple, a zephyr within. The stars—silent sentinels, cold and austere, Mark moments unclaimed, neither now nor yesteryear. A query lingers, soft and untied, Not seeking truths, but places to abide. What is the self but a transient flame, Dancing to whispers it dare not name? The earth weaves fables in roots and stone, Its cadence steady, yet never its own. I envy the river, its purpose arcane, Flowing to seas where no truths remain. Belonging eludes me, spectral, frail, A vessel unmoored, a gale with no trail. Yet in this untethering, I find reprieve, The freedom to drift, to simply believe. To be redundant, a wraith in the haze, Unheralded, nameless through infinite days. To witness the stars in their silent bloom, And the universe fade into glorious doom. I crave no laurels, no anchored creed, Just the infinite vast and a soul unfreed. To meld with the cosmos, a whisper, a sigh, To linger in voids where none question why. Le...

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 me...

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 almond milk and quiet judgment). But don’t be fool...
