There’s potential in the gaping spaces that separate each of your fingers, the spaces you keep referring to as the universe because sometimes the gaping spaces are lonely and quiet and mocking of your insignificance the same way the universe is. There’s potential, in the lonely crook of your neck, in the dust collecting across your collarbones, at the curve of your hips, there is...
The laws of phsyics are basically the laws of life. With all the unpredictable chaos around us there are certain universal constants. Gravity, the speed of light… These constants never change. Even when everything else around them does. Life is full of unknowns and when those unknowns are too overwhelming, it’s the constants that we have to hold onto. Like our friends, the ones who are not afraid...

Honestly, if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it. Because you sound incredibly stupid when the ugly thing you say is not clever nor pertaining to the situation. And, just for your information, it gets too obvious how you’re trying to ruin my day and make me feel awful when you team up with my father and try (and fail) after about 7 times in a row.
I wouldn’t mind spending...

I’ve recently realised how I pale into the shadow of my parents, how I’m never really me and my own thoughts when I’m with them. Everything seems somewhat blunted when they’re around. Recently, I’ve been spending more and more time with my church friends and in church alone and I’m feeling like me more than ever before. I smile like I mean it, I act like how my...

If and when I do get married. And if and when I do consider reproducing. God, please tell me if I’m going to be like my parents. Because if I am, please God, let me choose not to reproduce. Or at least have the good sense to do proper and accurate family planning. I know this sounds awfully hurtful. And I probably have to do a million confessions. But seriously, I want to get away from here....

This is how it is now
You know that feeling when you know you’re losing someone/something? When it’s just slipping through your fingers and you’re aware of every single second on the clock and every step taken away from you, and there’s nothing you can do.
