I used to draw, then life got in the way. Somewhere along the line, I started solving problems instead of creating. Now I’m just trying to feel again. Still new to this, just writing what I can’t draw anymore.
Content. Alive/Survive. Loved? Maybe just lucky. Maybe just another year to fold into memory, a story I’ll tell with a half-smile and a lingering question of what it all meant.

Cringe
Sweaters, Are they made to make us sweat? Or to look cool on a sunny day? Maybe just a lazy fit for a lazy mood. Maybe for comfort. That soft, cosy shield against the cold. Or maybe.. just maybe.. they’re a quiet symbol of admiration for someone on the 3rd of December.

Sweaters
Stand still. Breathe. Let the world pass gently by. Coffee will eventually get cold, but that doesn’t mean it loses its bitter. Sometimes it’s better not to jump between past and future, not to rewrite the timeline, just be here, in this quiet, present moment.

Here, Now
Someone once told me we’re all time travelers. Not with machines, but with our minds. When we think about the future, we travel forward we see what could happen, and by making choices in the present, we change that timeline. When we remember the past, we travel back reliving what once was, learning, feeling, sometimes wishing. It’s strange and beautiful, how our mind bends time with just a thought. Even in this present, as I delay my work, I know I’m already altering the future. XD

Time Travelers
We found comfort in each other’s presence, somewhere between together and can’t be. And every time I held her hand, the world felt still enough to make me wish time could freeze right there.

Between Together and Can’t Be
Ripple effect, just a simple little stone thrown at the lake, it ripples across the surface. And thats how we humans are: with just a little thing, our mood tilts, our calm disturbed.

Ripple Effect
Julian’s voice hums through the static, "Can’t you see I’m trying?" and yeah, I am. Trying to stay awake inside the rhythm of repetition. Every day feels rehearsed, coffee, clock, conversation. I tell myself it’s fine, that everyone lives like this. That maybe The Strokes were right! no one really knows what they’re doing, we just pretend it’s something. "I don’t even like it", but it fills the hours, and maybe that’s enough. So I keep going, half-tuned, half-tired, waiting for something to change or for the song to end.

Just For A While (inspired by The Strokes - is this it)
Cycle Woke up. Work. Gym. Sleep. A loop I built for safety, now it’s my cage. Too scared to change, too tired to stay the same. ____________________________________ She Who Broke the Cycle She came like a needle. sharp, sudden, breaking the loop like nobody’s business. Cycle, curse, whatever you call it, she tore it open, and I finally bled change.

Cycle That Meant To Be Broken(?)
I’m usually the one who talks a lot, always got questions, always curious about something. But when she talks, I just listen. Like the world slows down a bit. Her eyes light up, her hands move with the story, and her words, they move like sunlight through dust, quiet but impossible not to notice. She doesn’t even realize it, but the way she speaks makes silence feel easy.

'Sembang Kacip' Conversation
I laugh in rooms where silence grows, A cracked facade that no one knows. My ribs are cages, rusted tight, Still I shine in borrowed light. A travesty in moving skin, But look how wide I draw the grin. Don’t ask me why the echoes sting, It hurts to smile at everything.
