The summer of 2022 now feels like a distant, sunlit memory—one of those moments in time that seemed ordinary as it unfolded, yet grew quietly significant in retrospect. My voyage around Este’s Park was not a grand expedition, nor was it marked by any dramatic event. Instead, it was a…

Continue reading →: Easy to love you #SOCS
It is so easy to love you my furry friend, With your bright, knowing eyes that never pretend, A whirl of black and white, a blur in the field, A heart full of joy you’re eager to yield. You herd the wind like it’s yours to command, Chasing the whispers…

Continue reading →: I am a fragile soul
I am a fragile soul stitched together in quiet places where no one thought to look. I learned early how to make myself smaller than silence, how to fold my voice into corners, how to disappear while still breathing. There were days when the world felt like a locked room,…

Continue reading →: My dissent into psychosis
I did not notice the exact moment when things began to slip. There was no clear line, no dramatic break, just a quiet, creeping shift in how the world felt to me. At first, it was subtle—small distortions in thought, a sense that something was slightly off. I remember brushing…

Beneath the waves where the sunlight winks, And the ocean hums in blue-green syncs, A mother whale with a graceful glide Swam with her baby right by her side. “Now listen up,” said Mom with flair, “Don’t chase every bubble you see down there. And please don’t boop that pufferfish—…

The rain had been falling all evening—thin at first, like a whisper against the pavement, then steady, soaking, the kind that makes the world feel smaller. Liam almost missed his bus because of it. He ran the last stretch, hood half-up, shoes slapping against the wet ground, breath fogging in…
