I've tempted fate a thousand times.

I’ve tempted fate a thousand times, winked at destiny and dared it to dance. I’ve walked the tightrope between surrender and defiance, one foot in devotion, the other in mischief, just to see which one he’d pull first. They say love should be soft, predictable—something that fits neatly into the palm of your hand. But this? This is chasing lightning with bare feet, laughing as the storm roars back. They warned me, "You'll lose yourself!"—as if that wasn’t the whole point. So here I am, hands open, heart reckless, staring at the sky like a fool, waiting for the next cosmic joke he’s got lined up for me.

They say love should be warm and sweet,
A gentle touch, a heart’s retreat.
A quiet gaze, a fleeting sigh,
Soft as dawn, where roses lie.

But you arrived like storms untamed,
A whispered spark, a soul inflamed.
Not silk nor gold, nor tender grace,
But thunder wrapped in night's embrace.

They warned me, "Turn, don’t lose your way,
This love will steal the light of day."
"A heart so wild, a path so steep,
Will pull you where the shadows weep."

Yet here I stand, no chains, no ties,
With fire reflecting in my eyes.
No veil to hide, no walls to mend,
No fear to bow, no fate to bend.

No hands can mold, no words contain,
The one who walks through love and pain.
A fire that burns yet keeps me whole,
A chaos carving out my soul.

So let them fear, let silence grow,
For you are all I need to know.
Let fate be blind, let time remain,
I hear you call—and its breathes your name.

They say this drives you mad, but no one warned me it’d feel like misplacing my own brain. I used to think I knew things—basic things, like where I left my keys or how to form a coherent thought—but now? Now I stare at walls, convinced they’re whispering secrets, because everything, everything, reminds me of him. Was I always this ridiculous, or did he just sneak in so quietly that I mistook eternity for déjà vu? It’s like realizing you’ve been humming the same song since birth but only just remembered the words. And the worst part? I can’t even be mad about it—I’d probably just end up laughing, only to hear the echo and wonder if it was him laughing first.

Oh, but I've tempted fate a thousand times. And he is my "Thousand and One". (:

Then, now and always.

Until next time,

Love always

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...

Peaking, aren’t you?

Damn it, kid. Damn it!!! I called out into the air again, like a fool throwing pebbles into the sea, waiting for some kind of ripple to reach me. It’s ridiculous, really, the way I try to fold him into the corners of my mind, like he’s some half-finished poem I can’t leave alone. He doesn’t know it, but he’s here. Lingering in the quiet spaces of my thoughts, a stubborn thread of smoke that refuses to clear. And maybe I’m just drunk on the idea of him watching, standing at some distant edge, like a stray star in a sky I don’t understand. It’s not love—not even close. It’s not even a crush, but something itchier, like a splinter under the skin. He’s a question that doesn’t need answering, a riddle I didn’t ask for but can’t help trying to solve. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t belong in my world, not really. He’s so bloody different, somewhat playful and careless in that “all neon confidence and cheap dopamine” kinda way, you know? I’m quiet, sharper around the edges, but somehow he...

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...
