Feeling Alive

-

I’m hitting restart. Not because I messed up, not because life shoved me down, but because I’m done waiting for some “perfect moment” that never comes. 

Take two is messy, chaotic, a little wild—but it’s mine. And this time, it’s real. Heart and brain working together, refusing to shrink.

Self-love isn’t just crying to a song or screaming into my pillow (though yeah, sometimes it still is). It’s moving my body when it wants to collapse, fueling myself with food that energizes instead of punishes, sleeping like I actually respect my brain, and stacking little wins that remind me: I’ve got this, one chaotic step at a time.

I’m taking ownership. What do I really want, for once. Goals aren’t daydreams anymore—they’re checklists. Study, create, move, breathe, reflect, repeat. Tracking growth, celebrating progress, not perfection. The fire in me—the part that refuses to settle, refuses to shrink—is sharper now, tempered with strategy. Chaos with a blueprint. Power with direction.

Take two is also about people. Choosing who actually adds vibes to my life, letting go of energy vampires, saying no like I mean it. It’s okay to be selfish sometimes—because putting myself first doesn’t make me cold, it makes me whole.

Heart and head are fused now. I feel, but I act. I dream, but I plan. I cry, but I rise. I spin in my room to my favorite BTS tracks, wild and loud, then map out my next move like a general. Every day is a step closer to the me I want to be: fierce, messy, unshakable. Soft but unstoppable. Emotional but capable. Raw but intentional.

Take two isn’t just a vibe—it’s a lifestyle. I’m done watching life happen. I’m starting again, not from scratch, but smarter, wilder, stronger. The Nova under my skin reminds me I can rise, fight, love, and win—all at once.

And the best part? This take two, my Mikrokosmos is here to stay this time, even if I'll have to pretend at first, even if I'll have to act like I got it all together, even if I'll have to stop feeling a bit, because this time; it doesn’t end. Every sunrise is a chance to build, to glow, to slay. I’m not emo. 

I’m me. And I’m alive.

Joy in human form

  So, there's this person. A Homo sapien , ofc XD Except she’s also a walking serotonin shot, a part-time therapist, an accidental soulmate, and the human version of a comforting playlist at 2 a.m. I'd have named her happiness. Ngl — I don’t fully get how she does it. One sec I’m spiraling over life, and the next she sends me a stupid meme or just says “you good?” and suddenly I am good. Not fixed. But… lighter. Like she somehow took a little bit of the weight without making a big deal out of it. So strong, caring, understanding, cute ofc XD and a perverted sass-queen LOL. And here’s the wild part — she doesn’t even know. She probably thinks she’s just being herself (which she is), but to me, she’s kind of the definition of joy. Not the loud, glittery kind. The quiet, unexpected kind. The soft kind that sneaks up on you when you didn’t even know you needed it. But it’s not all melodrama-focus either — she’s funny as hell. Sarcastic in the best way, somehow always one step...

  It’s like winter sometimes.  That kind of deep, bone-quiet cold that settles into everything — the air, the sky, the spaces between words. The kind of cold that makes the world feel still and endless all at once. I think of him most during these times. When the trees are bare, when the light fades early, when the silence is louder than usual. There’s something about these moments that brings all the memories back, sharp and aching, like the wind against your skin. There was a time I thought I’d never stop feeling frozen inside — especially after I lost him. The one I loved the most. The one I built futures around in my head, only to be left holding pieces I didn’t know how to fit back together. And yet... someone stayed. Not the person I expected. Not the person I thought I needed. But someone who showed up anyway. Consistently. Quietly. Without asking for anything. He listened. To all the emotional ramblings. The sobs I couldn’t hold in. The moments I hated mysel...

The rain still finds me...

  —a love letter to memory and moments that linger “You know it all / You’re my best friend / The morning will come again / Because no darkness, no season / Can last forever.” —BTS, Spring Day There’s a certain kind of silence that only comes with rain. Not the silence of absence, but the silence of something just beneath the surface— something trying not to speak, yet unable to stay quiet. I stood outside today. No umbrella. No rush. Just me, and the sky unraveling above like a story I’ve already read a hundred times— and still don’t understand. The rain came softly, not like a storm, but like a memory. It touched me the way nostalgia sometimes does— not all at once, not to break me. Just enough to remind me I’m still here. Just enough to remind me you’re not. There’s a moment, right before I close my eyes, where I feel it. The water tracing the edge of my jaw, lingering in the dip of my collarbone. It feels like your fingers— your breath— your presence stit...
