Sueños

7:30 am, 07/01/22 That person appeared in my dreams, again. Honestly, I don’t have any proper explanation for this state of my mind. Many years have passed by, and I can say for sure that my heart no longer craved memories relating to that person. Besides, there was nothing between us after all. Now it […]

Twenty-three

Again, I was thinking about reading some works by Dazai Osamu. As much I know how beautiful they are, I always restraint myself from going that far for the fear that it will stir up something buried deep inside my soul. Even so, that thought sometimes comes out of nowhere and messes up my string […]

Fate and humans

There are many characters in Greek mythology that can foresee or even predict the future. Nevertheless, for many reasons, they have little things to do about that. Fate is a sacred subject in Greek mythology. No mere human or even an almighty god can change fate. Once a prophecy places on someone, they can’t do […]

Tower of tears

The music kept running and echoing through the place until the old LP reached its borderline. The record didn’t know how to put things to an end for itself, so it kept spinning and left behind the faint scratching sound of the needle tracking on the dead wax. I was just sitting there, on the […]

Poetry?

A minute ago, I finished reading my first ever poetry book. It took me much longer than I thought to reach the last page. Not it’s a terrible book (it’s Charles Bukowski, how it could be suck), it’s just… I don’t feel like reading anymore. I’ve never had this feeling before. Hence, it feels strange […]

In the bathtub

“People run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water.” Charles Bukowski I stripped down naked and looked at myself in the mirror.  A pair of eyes stared back at me. They were dark and soulless.  I turned on the tap and let the water fill in the slimy green bathtub. The sound of […]

From August to September

In July, I read seven books.So far, this is my best record.But now, in August, I feel overdosed and likely retreated from reading.I know, I’m not the best person to talk about this.I may read a few more books than people my age, but there are many and many people who have read an entire […]

Who on earth is me?

6:21 pm, 17/7/21, Tôi luôn muốn tìm người nói chuyện… nhưng khổ nỗi là tôi lại thuộc dạng người mang lòng xa cách với xã hội. Thỉnh thoảng tôi muốn bàn luận với ai đó về những quyển sách tôi đang đọc hay những video essay mà tôi thích nhưng không có ai để nói […]

Milk

Milk, the conventional image for purity, innocence, and vitality. Although I like drinking it a lot, I can’t consume it as much as I want. Not that I’m lactose intolerant or something, I can’t just happily enjoy a glass of milk without awful consequences. When I was young, I had no problem digesting it. One […]

A random note

1:31 pm, 6/6/21 Tôi đoán là tôi cũng có những nỗi căm hờn của riêng tôi. Nhưng không biết là có may mắn hay không khi tôi lại quá lười biếng để đối mặt với chúng. Khách quan mà nói, tôi xem ra cũng là đứa trẻ may mắn lớn lên một cách bình thường. […]
