I Hate My Birthday
For the past five to seven years, I’ve taken my birthday off and withdrawn from the world. My body feels heavy, and so does my mind. Every ounce of will seems gone. The day has become a constant reminder—not of how old I’m getting, but of what I no longer have. I used to smile.… Continue reading

The Weight of Silence
Silence — it’s rare these days. Whether it’s the hum of the outside world or the distractions we choose to fill the void, we do everything we can to drown it out. Music, podcasts, TV shows running in the background — all to escape the stillness that makes us uncomfortable. But silence isn’t when the… Continue reading

Faith Reborn
What is faith, if all you’ve ever known of it is pain?When faith becomes tied to suffering, it no longer feels like hope — only resentment. It becomes a reminder of every failure, every moment where belief felt misplaced. Many interpret faith through religion, but the faith I speak of is something far more elusive… Continue reading

It’s Been A While
I’m sorry for the silence. This platform has always been a space I built for myself—to reflect, to process, to be honest. But for a while, it also became a reminder of just how much has happened. The truth is, I don’t think I ever fully processed the last 11 years of my life. But… Continue reading

A Hard Truth I Had to Accept
One of the hardest truths I had to accept early in my relationship was this: I was never going to be loved by my mother-in-law. It’s a painful realization—one I saw my own parents experience, but never expected to feel so personally. I always hoped that whoever my in-laws were, they would come to love… Continue reading

Who Are You Without the Title?
The one thing I’m beginning to understand more than ever is the importance of never losing yourself. As I’ve gotten older and faced the trials and tribulations of life, I’ve come to realize how quietly dangerous life can be. We give ourselves—our time, our energy, our identity—to the people we love. Our children, our partners,… Continue reading

If Time is a Variable
If time is a variable, then is life its opposing force? Because if time flies — swift and merciless — and life simply stands still, then what am I? Nature evolves, seasons shift, and yet I remain… unmoved. A stagnant variable. I feel time pass through me like wind through empty branches, and all it… Continue reading

The Quiet Unraveling
The more I explore the depths within myself, the harder it becomes to understand who I really am. I know how that sounds. It should be the opposite—the deeper I go, the more clarity I should gain. And yet, here I am, still wondering, who am I? I spent the greater part of my 20s… Continue reading
About Me
I’m no one more special than any of you reading this. I work as a custodian during the evenings but every other time of the day I spend chasing a dream I’ve had since I was 16.
I have always believed there to be more to this life and I hope with this blog, my stories and journey in life, that I can share my experiences with all of you.
