Soulful — what a beautiful word! Oh how I love to be described as one, maybe in a few years or moments. I don’t always like being optimistic, but one who is appreciative and accepting of everything that is still becoming, one who makes room for the larger life within the small span I’m blessed to experience. Enriched soul over temporary joys.

soulful
to rest to be touched warmly by the sun's rays and hear morning voices of I love yous, to sleep on the softest bed for 5 minutes more and wake up to breakfast that reminds me of mom, to work for enough hours and afford to drink wine with friends, to be in love tired Godly dissatisfied lucky hesitant content empty alive and to go home —for more or less quarter century

alive!
at some point, you will just have to stop. you’ll stop eating your favorite snack you’ll no longer visit that bookstore you’ll forget to check on the one who you once loved even the sun rests to light again in the morning so be thankful in those days when u quit for whenever u stop & set, the dim pays u the space to shine your stars. most things deserve a eulogy a high praise for those that died let them flow out

Happy Endings
I don’t know lots about this life. But I know I like certain things: Like sweet oranges my mama buys And waking up early mornings I love fresh air and green too And books I can finish by one sitting Cats, Women friendships I love loving And sometimes not I hate lazy and boastful guys At times I hate calm and boring But reality seems so slow and stagnant I hate when I hate I hate that I am impatient Yet I know myself to be one of the most considerate I adore that one kind friend He made me realize how people impact others And how one can save their fellow By just good words Oh God I hate being unkind

i’ll be 22
I’m going to Hongkong. I’m going to see its cinematic lights and hear the restless noises— the overlapping honks & chatters. I’m gonna let its bustling streets get hold of my spirit. The lonely cold air can join me, enough to balance out the warmth of sitting beside the love of my life. Lucky man. And maybe we get to sip our beers, or share one piece of thin cigarette. While he looks at me, I reminisce how my twenties taught me a lot of things.

love in the movies
I always blame myself for being indecisive. But would it make me crazy if I just love being unsure and somewhat lost — of things, of places to go, or of people? Aren’t there really anything beautiful about it?

flower petals: i love him, i love him not
When my friend asked me to enumerate reasons why other people shouldn't date him, instead of answering, I paused. Then I replied with the reasons why people should. Why would I say such ******** to someone I care for? Why would I tell him things that he would most probably overthink later? After all, my thoughts would only be biased to my experiences -- my answer is a very very small piece of the bigger puzzle. However small that piece may be, I would never give him the damaged version of it. That is my precious contribution to him. I realized that a pause can make everything nicer. Words are powerful; it can either destroy or heal. Why does it feel like saying good things is so underrated and boycotted. That when you simply say, "You are such a gentleman" it can make a man cry for he became extra appreciative of himself.

Storytime #1: You like his smile, then say it
Finally taking what we need at the expense of breaking our hearts. Maybe you crave loneliness; we know it's your comfortable zone. Maybe I miss myself; we know she's my first love.

Parting
There is a lingering silence, I notice. Everyone seems to becoming worlds apart.
