I mentioned earlier in my Sakihokoru thoughts post about how I see myself as being in that middle ground between light and dark. May I complicate things a bit more by saying that there are two sides of me. The light side of me loves pink, pastel-ly colours and cute things like My Melody. The dark side of me loves…

ChatGPT Dear Me
Dear Me, I know you’re trying—more than most people realize. Even on the days when it feels like you’re standing still, you’re still showing up, still pushing through in quiet ways that matter. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. It’s okay to grow slowly, to change your mind, to rest when things feel heavy. Not every…
Dealing with Death
In just a span of a week, I have to deal with two deaths and one death anniversary. Today, I say goodbye to Alison. Her son was Kaitlin’s preschool classmate. Life can be really cruel and unpredictable, but she chose to face it positively even when the odds were against her. She was so helpful and sweet when I was…

I haven’t spoken to her before (just me and my awkward introvert self), but I’ve always admired her aesthetic. She was one of the lolitas who didn’t seem bothered that she was wearing specs with lolita or not wearing a wig. Things that…
Back Again?
Wow, the last post was written back in 2022? I have neglected this blog too much. Then again, life and responsibilities just catches up with me and I find myself unable to sit down for too long to stew in my own thoughts. But, even as I go back and forth with hiatuses from blogging, I am unwilling to give…
