I’ve always strived to create stories that invoked feelings. I mean, that’s always been the goal for every writer, right? But, why is it so difficult to write such pieces? When I was writing my stories in the past, I used to churn out piece after piece non-stop, but now? What the hell happened? Is … Continue reading A Story Worth Telling
Out of Ideas
I’m out. It’s a legit drought of ideas. I wanted to write something about my life, and I already have a draft. But, I don’t want to continue it because it sounded so fake. When I was writing, it didn’t feel like I had the flow and structure of the piece working together. It’s like … Continue reading Out of Ideas
Forgetting my Roots
What started me on this amazing journey of self-healing is simply meditation and mindfulness. Yet with all the craziness and bullshit that's happening in the world, I tend to forget my roots. I'm so blessed and happy these days that I forget that this simple activity is something that I need to keep up because … Continue reading Forgetting my Roots
Is that it? Forever being called ‘potential’?
During high school until now, I was praised for having an amazing body frame. I was told that I could have an amazing body and I took pride in that. However, there's always in me that gnaws my mind every time I look at my body. At the time of writing this, I'm overweight (obese … Continue reading Is that it? Forever being called ‘potential’?

Cleanliness
One good look in our room, the first impression you'll think of is... expressive. Who am I kidding? It's a massive mess. It's a reflection of my mind. My current state. A person who lives in broken windows unsurprised when another is broken. I've tolerated it simply because it's a hassle to fix and no … Continue reading Cleanliness
Understanding Storytelling
Ludwig is one storyteller that I seriously want to learn from. His style of telling stories is engaging, snappy, and extremely effective. I have yet to see a storyteller like him. The only person who could hold up to par would Levy Rozman and his theatrical storytelling. These guys are people that I can learn … Continue reading Understanding Storytelling

Short Thought Notice
I'm back. Well, I'm trying to. It's been a rough couple of months, but I want to regain momentum and get back to writing! I don't have concrete plans for now, but I'm excited about the future. That's all. On second thought, I'll start posting stories, short story reviews, and some other bullshit I find … Continue reading Short Thought Notice
Selective Accountability
I was walking around the street doing my usual morning routine. I held an old umbrella on my hand, and I looked up at the sunny sky and thought about opening my umbrella to protect myself from the sun. I clicked on the button that automatically opened the umbrella, then I heard a quick snap. … Continue reading Selective Accountability
