Clementine

It's the things

that we don't say

that really pulls us

back to each other.


I see eternity resting behind your lips

I feel a longing behind your eyes

but I also sense a disaster

that'll wash over me

if I ever try to reach 

beyond your surface

because I know that

you'll never be able to understand

What's underneath mine.


It's the things that 

I almost say yet don't

that kill me after we say goodbye

and walk our separate ways.


You quieten my demons.

my insecurities collapse

when you show your faith in me 

you make me want to be myself

but I am not the only one

whose name rests on

the tip of your tongue

like a prayer

like a song 

you cannot stop humming

like the name

you'd happily call your own

for as long as we're here


I won't ever be you

what you are to me

and I am okay with that

I am okay but that alone

is not enough.


I wish it was enough.

I wish you didn't matter

so much, to me.

I wish you didn't have

so much, power over me.


But once that, is enough,

I am not ready to cry again.

For too long have I ignored my demons.

It is time, to have a talk with them.

This is really deep. . Especially the last one when you said, it's time to talk with them, I could feel it.

The beauty of anime

In my previous article regarding anime, I provided a concise overview of the medium. This current piece is intended for individuals who have immersed themselves in anime culture and are at a point where they can truly begin to recognize and admire the beauty that this medium offers. Have you ever experienced a personal connection to something in an anime? It could be a whole show, a character, a scene, or even just a single line. Anime and movies have the power to bring out emotions that we may not know how to process. There are moments when we're not just watching someone else's story on screen, we're living it. We feel a personal connection to something intangible that we're watching. Anime is more than just entertainment. It has the ability to connect with us on an unspoken level that no person has ever done before. It's rare to see something that's so intimate and familiar yet tackles ...

Skyrim Was Winter, And I Was Just Waking Up

Lately, I’ve been thinking about silence. Not just the regular kind, the absence of noise, but the kind that settles inside you. The kind that creeps in when you’re alone at night, lying on your bed, phone facedown, and you just feel this weird stillness all around you. The kind of silence that makes you reflect on everything, or nothing, all at once. For me, this silence is oddly similar to something I’ve felt before in a game. It’s weird, I know. But it always takes me back to Skyrim. More specifically, to that cart ride. I’ve played a lot of games. I’ve tried escaping into open worlds, storylines, and choices I don’t always have in real life. But Skyrim ? Skyrim stayed with me. I think about that opening scene more than I probably should. You know, the one where you’re bound, gagged, nameless, and just watching the world pass by as you’re taken to your execution. That cart ride doesn’t just introduce you to the game; it mirrors real life in ways I wasn’t expecting. Yo...

When Serendipity Knocked

Sometimes, life surprises you in the most unexpected ways. It throws a name, a moment, or a person into your path that changes everything. For me, that moment came when I met her tiny, bold, with short hair framing a face that held more strength and beauty than I thought possible. She’s the kind of person you don’t forget. Fierce yet kind, strong yet tender, she carries herself with a quiet grace that draws you in. Every conversation with her feels like uncovering a new layer of the world. She challenges me, grounds me, and somehow, without even trying, makes me want to be the best version of myself. What amazes me most is how effortlessly she understands me. In a world where connection often feels fleeting or shallow, she gets me in a way no one else has. It's not just the big things; it's the little things, the way she listens, the way she shares her thoughts, the way she's unapologetically herself. Meeting her wasn't just a moment; it was a turning point. She brought...
