I Learned the Hard Way That Loving Myself First Isn’t Selfish — It’s Survival. AI-Generated.
I used to think that being a “good person” meant putting everyone else first. Friends, family, coworkers—I gave my time, energy, and heart freely, believing that love and effort were infinite. I told myself it was noble, even righteous. But somewhere along the way, I forgot about me.

Don’t Say:The Things We How Silence Became the Language of Our Generation
The Paradox of Our Times Two friends are seated across from each other in a coffee shop checking their phones as chatter buzzes around them. Together they have lived through great events, sadness, and joy—yet neither one brings up the weight bearing on their hearts. They eye each other with a moan and a hesitant smile. The silence stays both pleasant and terrible.

I’ve spent most of my life inside a noisy brain. Even on days when the world outside felt calm, the world inside me never quite matched it.

When Time Gets Heavy. AI-Generated.
“Time” wasn’t some planned thing, like I sat down with a theme and said, Okay, today I’m gonna write about mortality and regret like it’s a therapy session with a rhyme scheme. Nah.

Word of the Day: 嘆き
I am on a new page, I shouldn't be writing still, I am way motivated to actually do my homework, there is no point in me stalling the inevitable. But there is this really annoying fly that keeps going across the screen, but it seems to have stopped as soon as I wrote about it.

Word of the Day: 芸術
I have been abnormally tired all day which was not a good thing. I am certain I am going to start my period with vengeance for being late. As I have explained before, I don't get cramps or other symptoms so much but my energy is completely stolen from me, and that is exactly how I am feeling today, I just haven't bled yet.

I promise I’ll resign
While working on a project with a colleague, we stumbled on a road block, we had to figure out how to deal with a problem, and it seemed we had divergent opinions on the matter. He was the head of the project and ultimately the final person to decide, but this wasn’t in a corporate setting where the word of the boss is final. It was more in a social setting where he needed to get everyone on board with his plan.
