travel
The ultimate test of a compatible relationship is whether you can stand to travel together.
After the Storm . Content Warning.
The house feels different now. Rooms that were once locked have creaked open, and I find myself walking through hallways I didn't know existed. Each doorway holds a different kind of light—some warm and golden, others cool and silver, a few flickering like candles in the wind. The architecture has expanded, as if the foundation finally has permission to hold all that it was meant to contain.

Titanic: A Timeless Tale of Love and Loss
When the name Titanic is mentioned, a tidal wave of emotions surges through anyone who remembers that fateful voyage. James Cameron’s 1997 masterpiece isn’t just a movie — it’s an experience, a heart-wrenching journey that lingers in the soul long after the credits roll. It’s a story of grandeur and tragedy, love and loss, human ambition and vulnerability, all set against the backdrop of one of history’s most infamous maritime disasters.

The Day I Let Silence Speak for Me
I've been carrying around this weight for years, yet it would never come to anyone who knows me. To them, I seem to have built a good life — a good job, nice smiles, an apartment full of plants that I sometimes forget to water. It all appears to be in its place on the outside. But order is a dream. Inside, I coexist with one moment of chaos. A moment when I should have spoken and didn't. A moment that echoed in my head so often, it's as if my silence is louder than all words I could have said.This is my transgression: I ruined the good that came to me by letting silence speak for me.

We Are Not the Same as We Were, Are We?
There was a time—not too long ago—when life glowed with a different kind of warmth. Families gathered around dinner tables, not just to eat but to share stories, laughter, and even the quiet comfort of being together. Friends spent long afternoons in gossip, playful arguments, and silly mistakes that became unforgettable memories. Children filled the streets and fields, playing games until the sun dipped below the horizon. Villages were alive with the music of conversations, celebrations, and the simple joy of belonging.

Ashes in the Wind. Content Warning.
At the Colorado-Utah border, under a sherbet sunrise, I opened the jar. A raven dipped low, wings slicing the air with a kind of knowing. It hovered, looked us in the eye—really looked—and then soared west into the painted sky. We didn’t speak for a moment.

The Lost Heart of Europe
You arrive in Prague, but even here, peace is hard to find. The city is bustling with tourists and noise. The Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge—everywhere you look, people are taking photos, ticking off a checklist of sights. You get the feeling that they are not truly seeing the "heart" of this beautiful city, but only its "body." You feel the same way about yourself: a lifeless body that only exists to be displayed online.

The Stranger Who Returned My Lost Journal
I’ve always kept a journal. Not a neat, leather-bound diary with perfect cursive entries, but a messy little notebook that went everywhere with me. It was filled with scribbled ideas, unfiltered feelings, doodles in the margins, and dreams I wasn’t ready to say out loud. That journal was more me than any photo or social media profile could ever be.

Ten Ways I Failed as a Canadian Teaching in Japan (And What I Learned From It)
The Shocking Truth About Teaching Abroad When I first moved from Canada to Japan to teach English, I thought I was prepared. I grew up chatty, curious, and able to ramble about everything from politics to maple syrup. I assumed that if anyone asked me about Canada, I’d have ten minutes of material ready to go without even thinking.

Tea on the Rooftops of Marrakech
The sun was setting when I first climbed the narrow staircase to the rooftop. Marrakech has a way of hiding its treasures in plain sight. From the street below, the house seemed like any other—dusty pink walls, a wooden door that had seen decades of use, and an alley crowded with scooters and the occasional donkey cart. But once I reached the roof, the city opened up like a secret whispered only to those willing to listen.
