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

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.

Talk
instead of asking why we are here,
why don’t we deal with what we have?
instead of post-mortem dissection of the past
let’s imagine what the future can be
and when we can, let’s talk a little softer,
smoother, and gentler
while we squarely face the inconvenient truth
it’s going to be worthwhile.
3.20.2023
Future
let’s make our future.
we can make it the way we imagine it to be.
if we believe in ourselves,
if we have the courage to face problems,
we can make our future.
yes, the past is always easy and beautiful
and that is the reason why
it will be awesome to make our future.
imagine
and it will be.

Possibility
some may say it’s irrational
some may say it’s not cost-effective
but I hold on
because of a possibility
piercing through this transparent veil
and reach a life I’ve been dreaming of.
it’s the spice behind my smile
it’s the final grip at the end of the day
that believe in this possibility.

Save
in dark times,
implore little shiny things
from within
and cherish them.
everything’s ephemeral after all
before you realize it
the sun will rise above the horizon
and gracefully shine upon you.
