the skin remembers the earth.

acne? volcanoes that rage, heal & form new lands.

stretch marks? subtly sunlit ocean waves hitting the sand.

pigmentation? dusk falling unevenly on clouds.

freckles? stars that refused to wane away from your skin.

hip dips? valleys between confidence and comfort.

scars? carved echoes of survival that whispers perseverance.


every inch of you is nature reciting her fables to her earthlings.

you are the soil, storm and sunrise.

alive. real. yourself.

even the oceans have dimples. even the moon has craters.

nature was never perfect, but is still beautiful.


let your skin be what it wants, humming in its own dialect.

because the opposite of flaw is not perfection. it's acceptance.

because you are not a canvas.

you are a landscape.

one only the soul could truly see.

you're on your own, kid.

it’s only up to a point that you are raised. what happens after that? you grow up. and no one really tells you when that happens. maybe it's the night you realize no one's gonna check on you if whether you got home safe. maybe it's the morning your coffee tastes more like survival than comfort. but it happens. suddenly, you’re not being told what to do. you’re just expected to know. how to feel. how to stay calm. how to move on. how to 'be okay'. and you start seeing people for what and who they are. not heroes. not villains. just people. flawed. tired. trying. your parents become stories you understand backwards. your friends become mirrors, and some of them crack. and you? you become quieter.  not because you’ve got nothing to say, but because you’ve figured out and learned what’s worth saying. growing up isn’t some grand revelation. it’s subtle. might even be boring. it’s bills. it’s boundaries. it’s choosing peace over proving a point. it’s crying without needin...

taste like home.

you’re my favourite outfit, i’d wear you on me all day. you’re my favourite book, i’ll never be tired to read you all night. you’re my favourite song, i’d play you on loop until the world gets sick of us. you’re my favourite place, i’d keep coming back to you even when i’m lost in myself. you’re my favourite poem, not the rhyming kind—just the kind that feels like something. you’re my favourite meal, and i ain’t worried about calories when it’s you. you’re my favourite silence, the one that doesn't need filling. you’re my favourite chaos, the kind i’d choose even on my sanest days. you’re my favourite mistake, and i’d still make you again—eyes open, heart first. and maybe i’m too much sometimes, but you? you’re just enough in all the right ways. not perfect. not polished. but real. and that’s all i’ve ever wanted— not a fantasy. not a forever. just someone i’d pick again even when everything else changes. even when i’m nothing like who i used to be. i’d still pick you. i’d still we...

thoughts don't deserve sequels.

“the more you go through, the more you don’t need to.” we’re built like that. we’re supposed to be like that. pain teaches. patterns repeat.  and your brain? it remembers . not everything that tickles your mind is trying to move in and live rent-free to haunt you. sometimes, it’s just knocking to say— “yo. chill. we’ve done this before. take a breath. think through. there’s an easier way out. trust me, you’ll find your way home.” even legends say—if you see the same tree twice in a forest, you’re lost. but the catch is... now you know you’re lost. and knowing is already step one. overthinking has two branches: one leads you deeper into the dark, the other reminds you where the light is.
