The Letter I Never Sent. Content Warning.
There are moments in life that carve themselves into your soul, moments you carry with you long after time has passed. For me, that moment came in the form of an old letter—creased, yellowed, and hidden in the bottom drawer of my father’s desk.

The Secret I Never Planned to Share
Secrets are strange. They start off as little shadows that you might decide to overlook. But the longer you hold on to them, the heavier they become—they speak in your ear at night, sit on your chest, and tug at your conscience. I wasn't going to share mine. For years, I even convinced myself that I would take it into the next world.

Word of the Day:供養
I haven't found a good way to channel the vocabulary I am learning. I am incorporating it with my writing as a theme for each thing but there should be some sort of system to channel it into anki. I am close to figuring it out but I think it also requires some editing which I haven't participated in quite yet.

Word of the Day: 以心伝心
I am feeling a bit manic right now or I feel like I get a little crazy thinking about Sebastian. I find myself sounding a bit desperate in my opinion. I brought up Carl Jung and the Friends of Carl Jung up in Portland, basically spewing out 101 Psychology bullshit. ( He's a councilor so I am sure he studied that ). I need to just back off though and I know that this obsessiveness is a mixture of me being stressed and wanting a distraction, with a combination of my infatuation with him.

Is God a man?
Although my faith has been renowned. I still believe that many of us can follow the teachings of Christ and his righteousness. Doesn’t mean that my righteousness views are going to be the same as everyone else’s. We are all different and view things differently. It doesn’t make sense to me that if a god is loving and so vast in his creation that he would create each of us the with the same perspective. So, although I believe we should have high value and be righteous towards god. Being one that follows the same views as another is not agreeable to me. If one church is saying the Bible says we are all sinners. You must know that. I think deep down it may be true for that era of time that they were all sinners. They did very wrong things apart from gods righteousness. I think we can all agree though that most people make mistakes and don’t know god and who god really is to us. That is the most important questions because god is so vast and moving and shows up in different ways. It’s important to recognize that he may not be the same god as another. Just because we don’t agree that my god and your god are the same doesn’t mean we are wrong and should go to hell for it. Why people get so mixed in this idea is beyond me and not sustainable for human lives and culture. One thing does remain and brings us in unity as the ideology that there is a god of creation.

The Things We Do in the Dark. Content Warning.
October 12th I saw him again today. It’s stupid, really. The way my body reacts. A full-system reboot from a thirty-second interaction in a coffee line. It’s not even about the words. It’s about the space between them.

You Chased Her Secret, but the Truth Broke You💔
You stand by the window, the gray dusk swallowing the last light of day. Your heart thumps, heavy with a question you can’t shake. Her suitcase clicks shut behind you. “I’m off for my night shift,” she says, her voice flat, like a stranger’s. The woman you once loved more than life itself brushes past, leaving only the faint scent of her perfume. Years ago, she was your everything—her smile lit up your world, her touch grounded you. You built a life together, two kids, a home filled with laughter. But now? Something’s wrong. The late-night shifts, the cold silences, the way she avoids your eyes—it’s eating at you. Tonight, you decide to follow her, to uncover the truth, no matter how much it might shatter the life you’ve built.

The Date
Passing the time, looking around and looking for a soul to accompany to follow, she continues to walk towards the dark small alley. So many feelings to hold, to resist, to procrastinate so no one will know how she feels. She continued to look, to see if she could find the smell, the shadow left by that man.

Word of the Day:教師
I need to schedule a math tutor. I think it is possible now since it is passed the 11th. My advisor I missed sent me an email and I got back to her when I could. It would be nice if we could handle it over email before the appointment but I understand if that isn't the case. Either way, the email was sent.

Word of the Day: 数学
I am trying to figure out how I want to navigate my 3 computers. I have the School computer set up on my dining table, but I am wondering if I should change it out for the couch one. Currently the couch one is my Personal computer. I was using it to buy stuff on amazon and stuff like that. I was also using it to input some stuff for my Anki and converting my physical notes to digital. I guess I can do it on the dining table.
