"We Didn't Even Have a Chance To Be Real Couple."
There is a kind of sadness that grows quietly, like a shadow stretching across a room at the end of the day. That is how I remember us. Not a storm. Not a loud ending. Just a slow dimming of something that never had the chance to become what I once hoped it might be.

Why growing up is really about losing yourself to find yourself again
No one ever tells you that growing up isn't just about getting older, working harder, or becoming responsible. They don't warn you that growing up sometimes feels like slowly watching the version of yourself you once loved fade away.

he Man in the Mirror
Hannah had always been a creature of habit. She had a routine, a way of doing things that made her feel safe. Each morning, after the alarm rang, she would make a cup of coffee, take a quick shower, and then, before heading to work, glance in the bathroom mirror. It was a way to check herself—straighten her hair, fix her makeup, make sure everything was in order. It wasn’t much, but it was enough.

A Morning Like Any Other
The alarm clock buzzed at 6:30 AM, dragging Annye out of a dream she couldn’t remember. She hit the snooze button and buried her face in the pillow, wishing she could stay asleep just a little longer. But reality wasn’t waiting. Her mind quickly filled with the list of things she had to do: emails, a meeting with her boss, a phone call to her mom, groceries to buy, laundry to do. The rhythm of her life had become predictable, and in some ways, it felt like she was running a race she couldn’t win.

The Last Light Keeper's Secret
Elara lived in a world constructed of muted browns and aged paper. Her apartment, high up in a brick building in the city’s quietest quarter, was less a home and more a careful preservation chamber. Sunlight struggled to penetrate the grime of the windowpanes, leaving her workspace perpetually draped in shadow. This shadow, she knew, was a reflection of her own spirit ever since the sea had claimed her grandfather two years prior. He hadn't been lost to a storm, but to a sudden, silent heart attack right at the base of the towering Aethelgard Lighthouse, their ancestral home and her whole world until then.

The Last Letter in the Attic
The attic air was a thick, stagnant soup, smelling of baked dust and forgotten intentions—a perfect, oppressive atmosphere for unearthing the ghosts of the past. Sweat beaded on Elias's temples, running thin tracks through the grime as he wrestled with the lid of the old, wooden steamer trunk. It wasn't just heavy with objects; it was dense with the gravitational pull of history. Through the settling grit, he traced the name etched faintly into the oak surface, a girl's name from another lifetime: "Clara."

Someone
if only you knew, i'm writing this in silence, in a kind of sorrow that no longer shows through tears. i'm writing this for someone who once swore never to leave but ended up being the first to let go. where is the promise you made? that you would never walk away? where are the words you whispered in between the warmth of our embraces and the quiet of the night? were they just temporary ? just sweet words you spoke to make me feel safe? only to abandon them when they no longer served you ?

Beside you
i blame myself for everything. i was the one who built expectations out of small moments, out of every conversation, every glance, every little gesture that probably meant nothing to you. i was the one who misinterpreted things, who held onto the idea that maybe, just maybe, i had a place in your heart too .. but in the end, i realized that it was all just in my head. i was the one who created a world where we belonged together and now i am the one who has to tear it down because that world never existed anywhere except in my imagination.

Believe
**Believe: The Power That Shapes Our Lives** Belief is more than just a thought or a feeling—it is a driving force that influences every decision we make and every goal we pursue. At its core, to believe is to accept something as true or possible, even without concrete proof. It is a quiet yet powerful force that gives us strength in moments of weakness, clarity in times of confusion, and motivation when we feel like giving up. Whether it is belief in oneself, in others, in dreams, or in something greater than us, the ability to believe is what allows humanity to grow, persevere, and find meaning in life.

Lost connection
Lost Contact with a Person: Reflections on Time, Change, and the Search for Connection There are moments in life when someone we know fades from our daily reality, slowly disappearing like the soft echo of a forgotten song. Sometimes it happens slowly, a drifting apart over time, while other times, it’s abrupt — a sudden silence that hangs between you and them. Losing contact with a person can leave behind a feeling of emptiness, a longing for something that was once there but is now gone. The reasons for this loss vary, but the effect it has on us is profound. It can lead to reflections on the passage of time, on the nature of human connection, and the ways in which life changes unexpectedly.
