Part seven of endless scribbling

I think a lot about the moon lately.

I want to shout to all the people in the world, “hey guys, aren’t you seeing this?

I mean I’m walking and it follows me like a shadow.
I’m running faster and somehow it’s able to catch up with me.

I’m driving slowly and, Oh boy, it’s slower now.

It’s there when the sun sets.

It’s there even when the sun is rising.

We think it’s so close to us,

Because we can see it so clearly,

The cracks and the patches

When in fact it’s 384400 kilometers away

*(details, I fuckin’ love them)

Oh, moon

You’re so underrated,

Even than the second man who walked over you.

I wish I could be like you

I wish everyone was like you

You do your part in the universe

You do not complain

You glow happily ever after

Oh, fun question

What do teens mean exactly when they say

”I love you to the moon and back”

Oh oh, and fun fact

Moon doesn't produce its own light

It reflects light from the sun.

New Years

I have never celebrated New Year's in my life: 24 years and not even a single year. I don’t remember doing the countdown ever in my life. I never really saw the point. Also, the timing never came right. Arguably this might have been the most difficult year of my life to get through. It has definitely been the loneliest year. Nothing much really happened. I learned a lot of stuff, career-wise, and life-wise. Human interaction was at its lowest. I made one new friend and lost countless. But I’m sure the one I made is for life, so that’s good. I really had to throw everything in and give my absolute best to get through this year. There were days when I felt like giving everything up and going back home. I still do, some days, most days. I don’t even know what’s keeping me here. Though sometimes I like the uncertainty I have with my life. I have never been a planner. Nothing in my life has been planned. School, college, career, friends, love, heartbreaks. Everything just happened a

Letters to Rahel - Episodes of grief

Dear Rahel, I feel like we're heading towards the end of this story. No matter how forward I look into the future, I can't see myself at peace. I am convinced that this is how it is going to go down. This feeling, this constant feeling of helplessness and chronic dissatisfaction. It is here to stay. This is how it is going to be forever. I don't feel like a real person anymore. I feel like the memory of a person, and memory's fading. Soon it'll be like I never existed. I have been having these episodes of grief lately. Why do I call it episodes of grief you may ask. I have been having days where it feels like someone had died. It's somebody's funeral. And I sit through the day trying to figure out who had died. It sure feels like someone I knew very closely had died. Maybe I'm dying. I feel like I've been forgetting myself lately. Like you know how you used to be friends with someone back in school. You used to tell each other everything. And now y

Mother, please come get me

I keep having this recurring nightmare, cutting myself open, with the sharpest blade. My face and my arms. It is not a pretty sight, but simultaneously so calm and soothing. I keep thinking about it throughout the day, trying to find out the meaning behind it. The visual keeps popping up in my head, how blood, red as wine kept flowing out of the slits smoothly. I tried to taste it in my dream but woke up just before I brought it to my tongue. I feel like buying a typewriter, and typing out hundreds of words, and then burning those papers. I want to write about grief. About loneliness, and the dark dampness of winter. About mothers, and fathers. About crippling anxiety, and the labyrinth of adulthood. About how your world becomes less and less wide as you grow up. About the helplessness of it all. About the hopelessness of it all. About the pointlessness of it all. I have become emotionally numb like never before. It feels like a dam of tears spurring and stuck inside of me. Unattended
