To be smiling while being surrounded by a sea of people, and yet yearning to be next to that one particular person.

this idea that there exists a tomorrow for us.2021-07-0302 minConfessions from a poet's heartOnce in a whileOnce in a while, in the middle of life, I try to forget the expectations and responsibilities. Tonight, I walk under the stars, I fall for the moon again and set out to carve the road lying ahead myself, because it is okay. It is okay to get lost while searching for myself.2021-06-2603 minConfessions from a poet's heartSometimesSometimes you ask me how I'm doing, and I cannot bring myself to tell you that I'm losing sleep, that I'm falling head first into a mess of uncertainties, so I tell you that I'm not scared of the dark.2021-06-1902 minConfessions from a poet's heartSilent cafรฉs and usThe air around us is full of thoughts to acknowledge and things to say, all the permutations and combinations of words just waiting to be said out loud.

Confessions from a poet's heartIf Rains Were A PersonLove, such a weirdly beautiful feeling, right? It changes all your definitions of happiness and takes all you have to offer. But that last sunset is a witness, that togetherness can be everything, but never enough. But in this process, love lives, and when I say it lives, I don't mean it as the opposite of leaving. Tune in, to know why!2021-04-1104 min
