The Cyst, the Dream, and the Whisper of Angels
I have always believed in signs. Some people dismiss them as coincidences, but I know better. I’ve felt them too many times, in too many ways, to ignore them. Angels don’t always speak in words. Sometimes, they speak in symbols, in nudges, in quiet whispers only the soul can hear. And for the past two Continue reading

The Lost German Girl: A Haunting Reminder of History
There’s an old film clip from the end of World War II that I can’t stop thinking about. It’s known as The Lost German Girl, and it shows a young woman walking alone down a war-torn road, surrounded by soldiers.

The Unveiling: A Love Letter to My True Self
It hit me today. A voice in my head asked, “Why are you holding back? Why are you hiding?” Wow. I have spent a lifetime hiding—hiding from the world, from others, from myself. I have played the roles expected of me, worn the masks that kept me safe, dimmed my light so I would not Continue reading

The Danger of the INFJ
As an INFJ, I found this video titled “Why a True INFJ is So Dangerous” to be an interesting exploration of the complexities that come with being this rare personality type.

My Most Ambitious DIY Project
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. When most people think of DIY projects, they imagine home renovations, crafting, or some kind of hands-on creation. But for me, the most ambitious DIY project I’ve ever taken on wasn’t something I could hold in my hands, it was earning my MBA in just Continue reading

Song of the Varied Thrush
In the mist of morning’s light,Where cedar trees meet ocean’s might,A song drifts softly through the pines,From the varied thrush, where silence twines. It calls across the dampened moss,Through tangled woods and mountain’s gloss,A melody so clear, so deep,A secret that the shadows keep. Beneath the sky, a gray-blue hue,Where coastal winds and rain are Continue reading

The First Time I Heard “Teen Town” by Weather Report: A Childhood Memory Reawakened
I can still remember the first time I heard Teen Town by Weather Report. I was just a little girl, sitting in front of the TV, when it happened. The moment the music started, something clicked deep within me. I was mesmerized. I didn’t know who Jaco Pastorius was or what kind of music this Continue reading

Chasing the Dusk
Kiss me as the sun sets,When the world softens and the night whispers its secrets,Let your lips trace the curve of my neck,A slow, deliberate tease that leaves me breathless,Warming the spaces between us that no words can fill. Hold me close, feel the heat rise as our bodies melt together,Fingers grazing skin, finding the Continue reading

Why Jean-Luc Ponty’s Egocentric Molecules Blew My Mind
I’ve recently come across something that completely stopped me in my tracks. Jean-Luc Ponty’s Egocentric Molecules, which was released in 1977 on the album Cosmic Messenger. I’m not exaggerating when I say it blew my mind. I just had to take a moment to sit with it and reflect. It’s one of those pieces that Continue reading

Fever of You
The space between us trembles, it burns with fire.Your touch is a promise, your breath fans desire. I taste your name in the hush of the night,my skin still smolders where your hands conspire. Your lips—hot embers—trace over my skin,a whispered command, a wordless choir. The hunger between us, untamed and wild,pulls us deeper, our Continue reading

Heavenly

The Rain Remembers
The rain does not ask where you have been.It does not weigh your regretsor measure the ache in your bones.It simply falls, soft, steady, unburdened, inviting you to do the same. Each drop carries a memory,the scent of yesterday’s laughter,the hush of something waiting to be born.It kisses the earth, awakens the roots,washes away what Continue reading
