Whispers in Moonlight
The moon spills like silk upon our skin,cool and silver, breathless and knowing.It watches as your hands trace constellationsagainst the curves of my longing. Night folds around us, slow and endless,a hush between heartbeats, between lips.Your whispers melt into my pulse,each word a spark, a slow-burning ember. If time were kind, it would stop here, Continue reading

Beneath the Stars
The night whispers softly,As thoughts drift like clouds,Each one a piece of the past,Fading yet somehow proud. Moments like fleeting stars,Caught just long enough to see,A flash of what once was,And what’s yet meant to be. Continue reading

The Inheritance of Ash and Earth
I was born from ruin, from hunger,a child of sorrow stitched from the remnants of history,woven together with the thread of survival.From the bones of a world broken and reformed,I rose, carrying the weight of two broken pastsand the hope of something that could heal the cracks between them.A body made from ghosts,an echo of Continue reading

A Thirst for Something More
I have a thirst that runs deep within me. It’s not the thirst for anything material or shallow, but something more,something that feels as if it’s from another dimension. I long for a life that feels more true, more aligned with the core of who I am. The world around me tries to tell me Continue reading

Discovering John Butler: A Mind-Blowing Exploration of Philosophy and Consciousness
I recently stumbled upon John Butler on YouTube. His work digs deep into the nature of consciousness, exploring how we experience reality and how philosophy can help us better understand our own minds. The way he breaks down complex topics into accessible, thought-provoking ideas has truly expanded my perspective. I’m honestly mind-blown by the depth Continue reading

Becoming Me: Embracing Adventure, Freedom, and the Vibrancy of Life
For as long as I can remember, I lived cautiously, almost mechanically. My decisions, my actions, my very way of being, everything was shaped by an invisible, yet very real, wall of fear and responsibility. A wall I didn’t know I had built, but one that was firmly in place, holding me back from the Continue reading

The Weight We Carry: Learning to Rest Before We Break
I’ve spent years carrying weight that wasn’t mine—stress, expectations, unspoken grief, the silent demands of a world that never stops moving. I’ve pushed through exhaustion, convinced that rest was something to be earned rather than something I inherently deserved. But last night, as I lay on the massage table, feeling the deep pressure of hands Continue reading

Rediscovering Our Connection: The Beauty of Returning to Nature
It’s strange, isn’t it? That we, as humans, are woven into the fabric of the natural world, yet so often we distance ourselves from it. We come from the earth, we breathe its air, and we are sustained by the food it offers. Yet, in our modern existence, it seems we’ve drawn a line, perhaps Continue reading

A Quiet Unfolding
In the stillness, something shifts,A quiet pull, a gentle rift.Not a break, but a soft release,A letting go, a finding peace. We don’t become someone new,We shed the old, and feel what’s true.Layers fall like autumn leaves,A whispered dance, a soul that breathes. It’s not loud, this quiet change,No grand reveal, no need to arrange.It’s Continue reading

Woven in Black: The Threads of Trust
I stand in a small, dimly lit room, surrounded by mismatched chairs and the smell of coffee and incense.The gentle rhythm of a bongo drum hums in the background. I’m dressed in all black, the fabric heavy against my skin, but I feel light, as if the beat is carrying me forward. It’s my turn Continue reading

Snow Falls, But I Am Warm
There’s snow outside today, soft and gentle, falling quietly as if the world itself is holding its breath. The air is sharp with cold, but somehow, I feel a warmth in my heart, unexpected and comforting. It’s a warmth that rises slowly, as if it’s been there all along, just waiting for the right moment Continue reading

Elphaba, Glinda, and the INFJ-ESFJ Dynamic: The Clash of Depth and Conformity
I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on how different Enneagram types interact in books and films. As an INFJ 4w5, I’ve always been fascinated by the complexities of character dynamics, particularly the tension between characters who are polar opposites but somehow find themselves intertwined. It’s this sort of contrast that adds a deep, almost magnetic Continue reading

In the Quiet of What Was
There’s a peculiar kind of space that exists now, neither empty nor filled, but suspended in a way that feels both unsettling and inevitable. It’s strange how something so dynamic can shift into something so intangible, and yet, it lingers. Like a theory untested, or an idea that hasn’t quite reached its conclusion. It’s not Continue reading

A Portrait of Light: Painting Myself Into the Aurora
There is something about the aurora that feels like a language I almost understand. It moves with a kind of knowing, a silent rhythm written in color, never still, never fully graspable, yet undeniably real. It exists in the space between darkness and light, between earth and sky, between what is seen and what is Continue reading

A Love Letter to Spice
I didn’t grow up with spice. My mom, born and raised in Germany, considered a lot of black pepper too bold, a reckless gamble on an otherwise perfectly balanced dish. Our meals were careful, deliberate, steeped in history. Vinegar for brightness, cloves for warmth, paprika for depth. Butter melted into broth, softening the sharp edges Continue reading

Finding Strength in Connection During Uncertain Times
Lately, it feels like the world is more uncertain than usual. Every day seems to bring a new set of challenges, making it harder to predict what will come next. Whether it’s political shifts, societal changes, or personal struggles, there’s a heaviness in the air that’s hard to ignore. We’re all trying to make sense Continue reading

Those Who Leave a Mark on Our Lives
I’ve been reflecting on the people who’ve made a lasting impact on my life. Sometimes, we don’t realize how much someone can shape our journey until we pause and really look back. There are moments where we understand the value of these connections and how they push us to grow. Grateful for those who continue Continue reading

Half of Me
There’s a half of me I keep in shadows,tucked beneath the surface where no one sees.A quiet hum of longing, a melody unsung,a bridge that spans the distance between who I amand who I might have been. Half of me craves roots,anchored in the soil of certainty,nurtured by stability,while the other halfdreams of flight—windswept freedom,the Continue reading
