A space where thoughts intertwine, ideas blossom, and stories take root.

Let’s wander through thoughts together.

some endings are not tragedies— only exits long overdue.
Not every ending is a tragedy—some are long-overdue exits. This poem explores the quiet strength of walking away, not in bitterness, but in love. A powerful reflection on self-worth, healing, and the grace of choosing yourself. Read more.

We Carry More Than Our Names
We carry more than our names. We inherit the echoes of our mothers' sorrows, the unspoken grief of our grandmothers, the silent fears woven between their words. Trauma doesn’t die in silence—it lingers in the marrow, in the spaces between laughter, in the way we hesitate before reaching for joy.
But we are the cycle-breakers. We are the first to name the wounds, the first to say, this ends with me. We choose to breathe where our ancestors held their breath, to release what was never ours to carry, to give our children peace instead of war.
This is the quiet revolution of healing—the inheritance we choose to rewrite.

The Blade Within: How Belief Shapes Creation and Destruction

Sure, some advice is helpful, but not every opinion is worth adopting. Focus on what truly matters—your family's mental and emotional well-being. Challenge the norms, trust your instincts, and remember: a little humility goes a long way. After all, no one has it all figured out.

The Paradox of Imitation
- being copied isn’t a compliment at all. It’s actually a quiet theft. To have someone replicate your work isn’t flattery; it’s the erasure of the very thing that makes it yours—your individuality, your soul.

The Storybook I Didn’t Know I Was Writing
When I was six, I was certain I would live in a pink house—one where peonies bloomed in wild abundance, and fresh lemonade was always waiting on the porch, ready to welcome the birds and squirrels. I spent hours dreaming of how I would tell them stories about the things I read in my American Girl books or how I imagined I’d befriend them like Annie Oakley, making sure no creature ever went hungry again. The world was simpler then, or perhaps I just believed it was.

Isn't it strange how we freely talk about how the moon affects animals? The way it influences tides, migration, and animal behavior—yet when it comes to humans, we often dismiss these ideas as “spiritual” or “woo-woo”?
