Childhood
I Wish I Could Go Back.
There are certain moments in life that never fade. They don’t need photographs or videos to stay alive—they live quietly inside the heart, untouched by time. My childhood is made up of those kinds of moments. Even today, when I’m caught in traffic or scrolling endlessly on my phone, some old smell, sound, or fragment of memory brings me back—to a simpler time, to a dusty neighborhood field, and a boy who had no idea he was living the best days of his life.

If My Son Ever Asks ‘Was I an Accident?’ — This Is What I’ll Say
It was just another workday. I was on my lunch break, April had the day off, and we were sitting in the living room watching TV. Nothing dramatic, no background music, no movie moment — just us. Then came the test result, but not from a drugstore kit. We’d gone to the hospital for this one. We wanted it to feel real. Official.

I am as chalant as it gets
Oh, act like you don't care! Don't show emotions or else you will be deemed uncool, don't smile too loud, be silent about your victories, don't be so passionate about the things you love, don't text first, don't reach out first, play hard to get- oh, and the list goes on. The new trend of being the mysterious black cat is the propaganda I am not falling for, don't get me wrong, it is not something I am against or hold my grudge against. I truly believe if you are authentically like that, there is nothing wrong with being that way, but for all the ones who actually are yappers and the ones who fill the room with love and light, this trend just invalidates their existence.

The Last Letter I Never Sent
Some love stories never get to say goodbye. This one lived quietly between two hearts and ended with an unopened envelope, found years too late.I found the letter tucked in the back of my dresser drawer, yellowed at the corners and sealed in an envelope with my shaky handwriting. The date on it stopped my heart—April 12th, 2013—the day before he left.
