come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Kid, you are loved.
In your smile, in your eyes, in your laughter,
the joy and the contentment melt together.
you are loved dearly, more than you can imagine.
So, have a courage.
Present yourself to the world out there
and explore the cosmos within you.
I’ll be there with you to carry you.

Just run.
You don’t have to hold back no more.
The world is your canvas.
Let your muscle, bones, and nerves express.
No more worrying, no more guilt, no more shame.
Let your soul rest satisfied.
Let it accept and be at ease.

You can’t beat someone in the game who enjoys doing it.
The speed with which she will soak up is exponentially more than those who sprint.
So, if you don’t truly enjoy what you do,
I suggest go look after what your heart and soul will contend in.
To do so, acknowledge what cannot be changed — the cornerstones first.
Then, weave your own storylines. Create the dream into the reality.
Yes, it is possible. So what do you wish for?
Keep drawing, even if it didn’t work out.
If it did, congrats. Let’s keep building on it.

What is your story?
Not the one you made for jobs, schools, or whatnot.
What makes your heart beat with warmth?
Usually, it’s the simplest things.
The game, the song, the look, the feel.
It was the story of others.
To join the path along with others.
To seek the rhythm and celebrating with others.
To do the right thing — what I hope is the right thing.
To be good enough to be foolish and be okay.
To break things down to the fundamental childish play and simply enjoying things.
If you know what you want,
it’s time for you get to work.

You don’t have to be the smartest kid in the room,
but at least learn from your mistakes.
Rather than titles, focus on what you can do and what you know.
Make a plan, even if it didn’t work out last time.
Honor the promises you made to yourself.
Be honest, even if the shame electrifies you.
Stay here and now. Look forward.
Accept yourself, even the ugly parts.
When in doubt, seek warmth and light.
Be mindful of what you put into your mind.
Love and trust matter, in spite of it all.
Look into yourself, as you would look into a mirror.
Keep going. Keep calm. Keep praying.
4.15.2025
If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.
If you look at it as a play, instead of chore,
or an exercise, instead of work,
you might find yourself a shine of light to lean on.
It’s not a heroic sacrifice at the battlefield,
but intricate daily rituals that bloom one day.
Let your soul dance, weaving a story.
Let your journey be yours truly.
4.14.2025
Let’s look forward, marching onward.
Yes, there were beautiful days — but so will the future.
Let’s savor this moment, an act in itself manifesting a future you desire.
May us carry a heart full of love, contentment, and hope.
We will hold onto what we have,
celebrate the breath we breathe,
and remember this moment head held high.
Though we may falter,
I pray we rise and bring light again.
Keep going. Keep believing. Keep warmth.

So, I am a fool.
I talked too proud,
when those with the strength, wisdom, and effort quietly pushed through.
I now have learned the right path through a long way.
I only ask for forgiveness from my younger self and those who knew me then.
I will do better this time and keep growing.
4.12.2025
Let’s fly: me, you, us. Fly into the unknown.
Let what I am working for be for us.
Let the risk be balanced not with incentives, but with justice.
Let me seek not happiness, but meaningfulness.
Let me have the capacity to bring light.
Let this light be good for me, you, us.

Watch the milky blue sky slowly burned in azure blue.
Outlines of thin branches of trees blurs into the sky.
Is this the meaning of your cigarette?
Darkness, slow, vast, and all-around, is our playground.
It brings a moment of realization that it is good to be warm, moving, and comfortable.
Would you be proud?
Yes, absolutely.
But why is there silence?
Because your soul is still elsewhere.
Where is it then?
When you have felt the fire shaking you to your core, that was the last time you’ve had it.
How do I get it back?
Answer always lie within you. Keep writing. Keep remembering. Keep thinking.
What do I do in the meantime?
Keep breathing. Keep looking, keep talking, keep swimming.
Will this ever change?
It will. Remember the last time you stared into the stars through the crack of the window in a tiny dark staircase by the garbage disposal. You’ve made changes. Believe it will work again.
Which direction to go from here?
Towards what brings the value in life — morality, productivity, and resourcefulness. To be diligent and kindhearted. To do the right thing and make peace. To honor those who come before us, and to pave a new way for those to come. To find the truth and not contend in falsehood. To be responsible and prudent. To contribute and sustain.
It will be a worthwhile journey.
