The First Half of 2015
It’s already the second half of 2015, and I can’t say I’m looking forward to it. The first half was filled with so much nothingness and despair, so it’s a bit hard for me to believe that the second half will be better. I recently found out, the stronger you feel about something, the harder…

Pieces of Memories
I have a friend who keeps all mementos of things he wants to remember. Theater tickets, movie stubs, receipts from restaurant, and even random brochures he got on particular memorable days. Pick one thing and he’ll launch into a tale of how he got it, and why he keeps it. I used to be this…

Today
Today is my graduation. Let’s backtrack a little. A year ago, this time was blissful, spent with the epitome of summer cliches. Picnics, Pimms, shorts, t-shirts, and summer dresses. There was this little thing called dissertation that loomed in my conscience whenever I wasn’t working on it, but I usually shook it off. Hours in…

Oh yes I do that, because otherwise, how would I get myself to dance? Sing like no one’s listening, I do that too. Sometimes in the bathroom,…

Questions
image source You know how people say, ‘I wish I’d had more courage’ or ‘I didn’t love him enough. I wish I had’? With me, it’s the exact opposite. I wish I’d toned down my courage, I wish I hadn’t loved so deeply. I wish I could just walk away and say, ‘Fuck it. Fuck…

How It is to Unlove Someone
There are times in life when our fondness to someone is too much, to the point where it causes nothing but agony. There are times in life, when we wish we didn’t care that much, that we didn’t love someone that much, that we could take a step back and become strangers again. But like all…

Good People
For a couple of days, I’ve been asking the very same question that Jack Johnson asks in one of his songs (Good People, which, by the way, is my firm favorite along with Banana Pancakes and Better Together): where’d all the good people go? I’ve had some tumultuous relationships in the last few months. Just…
