Miss you

There are infinite ways I can miss you, maybe the list is short but my reason is huge.
Or maybe I've got a trillion lists of tiny reasons but both are the same dull ache.

Perhaps I do have both.

My little list no longer makes sense, just like it simply no longer exists.

My longer list is not meaningless, it's all about him. I miss those things that he used to say. I miss the songs that he would play in his car. I miss the way he was excited about meeting me even after we met just a few days back. I miss how he loved me every time he looked at me. I miss his geekiness about movies and shows. He was a lost cause, but I miss him. I loved the way he chased passion. I miss the way he loved adventure and made our days a ride of a roller coaster. 

Mostly, though, I miss things that haven't happened yet. You can't actually miss them because you never knew your life with them in it, but you can't help but think about how great it would have been. I miss things like this on behalf of him too, because I know he never missed them for himself. 



I miss that he doesn't know me now. I have to write all this to get out of me, and not call him and rant about all this. 

I hope he knows I'm fine. 

I know he always knew that. 


I hope someday I'll be able to miss him happily. Maybe I'm going to smile and say one of his jokes, laughing through it and warmly miss him. I will miss him angrily too, whenever I think of how suddenly he left. How permanent things are now. 


He is no longer mine, but there are shards of him sprinkled everywhere in my life. What wouldn't I give to see him laugh and smile that way one more time? 


If we both weren't wrong, should I now blame the situation, timing, world, or the universe itself?

I am trying to forgive the world for everything it took away from me. Yet now that I realize that sort of loss that I have suffered is something that you never recover from.

Living

I'm not sure what I want to be or do. All I know is that I want to live. To me, living isn't about having a big title or a fancy job. It's about enjoying the simple things. It's about feeling the morning sunshine on my face, laughing so hard it hurts, and crying to release the pain. It's about finding peace in quiet moments and letting my mind wander.  But life isn’t always sunshine and pretty skies. It’s storms that break you down, darkness that swallows you whole, and days when getting out of bed feels like swimming through raging waves. It’s the crushing burden of expectations, the fear of failure, and the lonely feeling of not fitting in. I’m tired of pretending to have it all figured out.  I’m a person, a whole, messy, complex person. I’m the quiet kid who dreams big and the friend who’s there for anyone. I’m the one who’s afraid of heights but jumps off cliffs anyway. I just want to be me, with all my flaws and strengths, my hopes and fears, my joys and sorrow...

3 years later, what life's like?

I'm picking up my pen again, and it feels amazing!  It’s truly easy to get swept away in the bunch of responsibilities, deadlines, and the never-ending grind of our daily routines.  Lately, I’ve felt this chaos more than ever. I’ve been so completely absorbed in the busyness of life that I’ve lost touch with the things that always brought me so much happiness. I've been so consumed by my responsibilities that I've lost touch with the things that bring me joy, and it's only now that I'm starting to feel the emptiness that's been growing inside me. Life can be overwhelming, and it often demands so much from us. Academic responsibilities, work commitments, family obligations, social engagements — they all pull at our time and energy. Yet, in the midst of this hustle, I believe it is necessary to pause and ask ourselves: What brings us joy? What makes our hearts sing? For me, it’s the simple pleasures: curling up with a good book, losing myself in the pages of a sto...

The intimacy of Silence

There is a rare comfort in sitting beside someone and feeling understood without uttering a single word. In a world where we’re pushed to be constantly be expressive, to explain ourselves and to articulate every feeling, there exists an almost magical power in shared silence — a kind of intimacy that words often fail to capture. In these quiet moments, connections deepen, and the space between two hearts grow smaller, free from the weight of expectations and explanations.  There are moments in life when we’re so overwhelmed, so exhausted, that even the simplest words feel heavy.  In those moments, all we want is someone who understands without forcing us to speak. The people who can sit with you in your silence, without needing to know the details, are the ones who know that sometimes, presence alone is the strongest form of support. They offer a quiet assurance that says, “You don’t have to explain yourself; I’m here, and I see you.” When life is heavy, when your heart feels ...
