remember those who helped you.
remember to pass along their love.
when you give, you are actually receiving.
stay focused on small things to be grateful of
hopefully, your effort will be seen.

Tribute
Month: March 2023
Respite
there is no respite.
at least for now.
in this chaotic fistfights,
there’s a joy
of knowing that I am alive.
one day, there’ll be a blue sky over the head.
we’ll lay down on green grass
and enjoy a gentle breeze of the wind.

Close
Survived the last round of dog fight
who knows what the future brings
rise again and fight
tomorrow is another judgment day.
remember to love
It will guide you the way

Fight
now is not the time to cry
now is the time to rise and fight
fear not against merciless challenges
protect your sense of purpose
remember to retain your humanity
and charge forward

Photos
like a flash of sunlight reflected on a car’s side mirrors
photos unexpectedly reminds me of a version of me I had forgotten.
so different I am from who I was back then
I wonder if I would have even liked the person if I were to met him today.
I will thank him for all he has done for me.
I know he tried his best in his own circumstances.
I would have hugged him (of course he would become confused as heck)
for all things that didn’t work out,
let’s say it was meant to be.
I am grateful for what I have done for myself.

The Way
it’s better to be miserable
learn your troubles first
than to be in a bliss
neglecting those issues
it’s humbling experience
but I hope my heart maintains
love, respect, and kindness
through it all.

Nothing
when you have built a castle on top of a cloud
shake it all down, let them fall crashing down
once you are done crying over them
build them back up
one by one
forget about the worries
forget about the fears
focus on each brick
then one day,
you’ll see you castle again
founded on a firm ground
and you will find happiness
and contentment for yourself.

Laugh
I am not sure what happened
I saw events brewing from afar
roiling waters of sadness
I braved myself for the impact
then I found the world to be funny
I laughed at the face of a lion
and joked about how sharp its fangs are
when it was time to close the shop
I found my spirit to be resilient
and I was okay.
and I wondered.
if it is the grieving of the past
that gave me the strength.

Patience
haha so much ideas, but such slow progress
pains me all over; must I endure this stress?
focus is the key, and the patience gives peace
a lofty thought, but I wonder
if love will solve all the problems conquered?
into the night and towards the morning
another dance until the curtain is falling

Photos
take photos.
I recommend it.
you get to see the evidence
that you have survived through it all:
happiness, sadness, good and bad.
you’ll root for your past self to smile more
and less be angry or sad.
in spite of all the philosophies and rules,
in a way, principles and values are there
to make you happy, I think.
I want you to be happy.
I want you to live a bright and warmer life.
