Good evening, dear readers. It's been a while since I've updated this blog—you'll have to forgive me again! The hiatuses don't seem to show any signs of stopping soon, but at least now I can entertain the thought of writing about something other than fictional romances for a brief moment; my life has been what … Continue reading :,)

“Forever Yours” No Longer
Have you broken a lot of promises in your life? Are there too many, or too little for you to remember them? Do you keep a scoreboard for yourself of every mistake that you make, or do you let yourself live freely, or do you see the absurdity of both of those options? I tend … Continue reading “Forever Yours” No Longer
To Think and to Feel
Which do you believe is superior? Which do you base your actions off of? Do you look down on those who do not align on the same side as yourself? It's that type of conceited attitude that I've always found a distaste towards. In the past, I have held both; an admiration for what I … Continue reading To Think and to Feel
Don’t You (Forget About Me)
As I'm writing this, I can look out the car window and see flatlands, hills, meadows, and mountains colored blue in the distance as my father and I drive by; we're at the beginning of a five-hour drive to a city airport, and after that, a six-hour flight to visit our close family friends for … Continue reading Don’t You (Forget About Me)
Sound Echoes / Words Resonate
There are some words that, once said, never seem to leave your ears. Right now, my ears seem full with the words of others, and they echo in a ringing tone, getting louder with each repetition. I find myself coming down from a migraine with a fresh new set of painful memories to work through, … Continue reading Sound Echoes / Words Resonate
Chopin’s “Wrong Note” Etude
If you can believe it, every single note was played perfectly. Even so, it begins sounding horribly dissonant, almost as if it were the product of a child slamming their hands on the piano. It's only after the initial phase of seemingly-random note placements that sound completely uncharacteristic to Chopin's other compositions of harmonic beauty … Continue reading Chopin’s “Wrong Note” Etude
My So-Called Teenage Angst
For the past few weeks, I've found myself grappling with the fact that my life might never be this good again. In the midst of a pandemic, while I live in near isolation and my grandmother is across the country laughing on her deathbed, I realize over midnight hours that it's a very real possibility … Continue reading My So-Called Teenage Angst
On Making Goals and Forgetting Dreams
What was your dream when you started out? Did you live to see it realized? Did you forget about it once you grew up? Adolescence is a time when there's never a shortage of dreams and aspirations, and when you're young, the most important thing an adult can do to influence your mind is to … Continue reading On Making Goals and Forgetting Dreams
Crucial Morality and Bad Faith
What is right, and what is wrong? That simple question seems to have more power than people realize, since arguments over ethical and moral debates of "right" and "wrong" have been going on for centuries, and show no signs of stopping. To some people, using animals to test vaccines or medications is wrong; to others, … Continue reading Crucial Morality and Bad Faith
In Regards to (My) Family
Family, I believe, is a subject of great sensitivity to most in the modern society, especially to those of my own age group. While I admit, my own family is nowhere near perfect or ideal for myself, I try my best to avoid complaining about something in my life that cannot ever be completely changed … Continue reading In Regards to (My) Family
