Thank you so much for this. When I was a kid, whenever I fell or was bullied at school, the first thing I was taught to do was to not cry. When I do, my mom would get angry at me instead. I guess now that I’m grown up, I associated crying with being weak.
I don’t know.
It’s hard. Sometimes I refuse to cry or break down in front of others in fear of making them uncomfortable....

"Be hurt. I can take it. The world can take it."...
I remembered it was a few months after my dad’s passing… I was very good at putting up a strong front towards other people. After the first week of his demise, I rarely cried in front of anyone. I just cried when it’s time to go to bed. Alone. That was how I preferred it.
Being the eldest of two children, I felt that I had to be strong for my mom and my little sister. And I was....

Are you still up?
I’m having trouble sleeping again
I guess I miss the past
Only because I don’t have much to look forward to in the future
So it feels like I’m stuck
In between
In between yesterday and tomorrow
Stuck in today
Today, today, today
Nothing’s changed, or maybe I’m just too blind to notice
Everything’s moving in slow motion
Or standing still
Or maybe I’m...

She said
Maybe in a different life
And the water is infinite
And the sky isn’t so harshly unattainable
And space is a little closer
And we don’t need to say things to prove them
We don’t need things to be formulated for it to work
And they can stop analysing, analysing, analysing
Numbers, predicting numbers, obsessing over numbers
That they’re going to be...

I am me.
It has been ages since I last went out with my mom and sister, so I decided to get out of bed today and bring them out.
We went for lunch, and then the beach. Which is something really different because we don’t normally go to the beach, not even for picnics. So it was a surprise when my mom agreed.
My sister and I decided to sit on the rocks on the edge of the beach, and take a few...

A car is just a car
It gets you here and there
Clothes are just clothes
Something that you wear
A house is just a house
A roof over your head
You are not
The things that you possess
But a feeling
A feeling is not just a feeling
And people who sell you these things
They capitalise on that
And I bought everything you said.

My 8 year old sister's advice on boys.
Me: What do you do when you like a boy?
Sister: You tell him.
Me: And if he doesn't like you?
Sister: You kill him.
