As I lie beneath the starlit sky of the Nevada Desert, my mind is filled with an enigma of thoughts and emotions. The world is a cacophony of noise, a relentless barrage of superficiality. We build walls, brick by brick, around our hearts, convinced that vulnerability is weakness, that intimacy is a risk too great to take. We settle for echoes, for half-truths, for connections that shimmer like heat haze on a desert road – beautiful from afar, but dissolving into nothingness upon closer inspection. Then, there’s the silence. A quiet that isn’t empty, but pregnant with possibility. It’s in the spaces between words, in the shared glances that linger just a beat too long, in the unexpected kindnesses that cut through the armor we’ve so meticulously constructed. It’s the tremor in your chest, a low hum of recognition, a knowing that transcends logic and reason. This isn't the fairy tale love they sell you in movies. This isn't a grand gesture, a whirlwind romance, a perfectly orchestrated meet-cute. This is the messy, unpredictable, utterly terrifying beauty of finding someone who sees past the carefully crafted facade, past the defenses you’ve erected against the world. This is the person who doesn't flinch at your shadows, who embraces your darkness as much as your light. Touching the deepest level of my being isn't a gentle caress; it's a seismic shift, a tectonic plate collision of souls. It's the raw, unfiltered exposure of your vulnerabilities, the terrifying act of surrendering control, of letting someone see the parts of you that you've hidden even from yourself. It's a leap of faith, a desperate hope clinging to the edge of despair, a whispered prayer in the face of overwhelming odds. And the hope? Oh, the hope is a fragile thing, a flickering candle flame in the vast darkness. It's the stubborn refusal to believe that such a connection is impossible, the unwavering belief that somewhere, somehow, there exists another soul who understands the language of the heart, who speaks the same silent dialect of longing and yearning. It's the unwavering faith that even in the most unconventional of circumstances, even amidst the chaos and the uncertainty, love can find a way to touch the deepest level of our being, shattering the illusion of solitude and revealing the breathtaking truth of connection.

Story Time! This is a long one, don't read and complain, just ignore and keep scrolling if you don't want to read or don't like it. Okay thank you, bye 🙌🏽🙏🏽🤍 (Posted this about 12 hours ago and the app went down around the same time, so here I am, again...)

Earlier today, whilst on the bus home, a man boarded fully in uniform, as if working for a food delivery service. I found this intriguing, as you'd normally see them on their bicycles, motorbikes or (not see them) in their cars, but rarely in public transport, since it defeats the purpose of "fast...

is dating nowadays more leaned towards actual deep meaningful connections or lust over physical appearance?

🍀🪐🙌 The hardest thing i've learned this year

Is that we can't make someone communicate & work things out. We can't beg for someone to see that we are worth fighting for & i stand by that now. Never disrespect ourself by begging anybody for bare minimum. we will never have to ask the right person for attention, time, respect, loyalty, and... read more

“Once we grow up, we realize we don’t want to be crazy in love. We want to be calm in love, stable in love, patient in love, understood in love, safe in love. Our partner should give us peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.”😔🥺😭

I just had a talk with a rather unpleasant person named Jon, he had curly hair, and looked very similar to me, stay away from Jon at all possible, much love ♥ ✌ to all

I just posted my opinion on work place conversation, some people disagree with it, namely a person named Jon, he thought my quote was the same as my father's, I disagreed and said your too young to understand, he was 21, but acted like he was 5 years old, so I called him a child, in the end he did... read more

A Hollow Space

🌹 Do you feel it too? That quiet morning weight, when you wake, yet feel unlit, a hollow space where drive once was. The bed holds you soft and still, its warmth a gentle pull, and the world outside feels distant, like a place you’re not meant to go. Tasks wait, voices call, but they sound... read more

Maybe…

The sole ties between me and you, Remain the place we live in… But I’m about to leave it all behind, And maybe then I’ll learn to give in… Give in to the desire to forget you, To the urge to let it break… I’ll keep my childlike delusion a while, Maybe a lifetime, give or take…
