Say What?
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. - Pablo Neruda

Warriors use motivation, determination, preparation, and dedication … Continue reading
Too Cool

Smoke
This is one of my flatmates having his once-every-so-often social cigarette. I don’t smoke, but smoke happens to be one of my favourite things ever. It’s so beautiful – only because of how random it is. Brownian motion. Is that … Continue reading
Bob Marley is Great
This is so great. It just says so much more than it actually says. It’s so necessary, sometimes, to just shut up, stop over-thinking everything and just enjoy where you are, what you’re doing and who you’re with. (You can … Continue reading
10 Reasons Having Your Wisdom Teeth Removed is Great
After being absolutely terrified the few weeks before, I went into hospital to have my wisdom teeth taken out on Wednesday. I was surprised to find way more pros than cons surrounding this situation. Here they are in list form: … Continue reading
Hello, December
This blog was supposed to be an attempt at a kind of sanity-enabling release. I started it months ago (in March) and ever since then it’s been anything but nurtured. There are many reasons for this, but whatever the reasons … Continue reading
Reflection
The other day I happened to catch a glimpse of my mom’s reflection in our car window, while we drove back home one night after visiting family. Not that I’ve never seen her reflection before, but I saw something quite … Continue reading
Typical
So it took about 10 minutes and the “beautiful blanket of clouds” I last posted about disintegrated, making way for more Toohottofunction wrath. Don’t take the *brief* moments of ordinary for granted. 🙂
