Truly loving something, or someone, makes you wish things didn’t have to end. Makes you wish things could go on forever, unchanged, so you can keep enjoying them as they are, as they make you happy. But all that starts needs to end. And endings are always hard. Despite how I refused…
Tender is our flesh
I, against all forecast of things I would get obsessed with during 2024, fell in this weird place where, maybe coincidentally, ended up getting books which main themes are basically cannibalism. Sadly, not the ones who talk about it as a metaphor of love. But it’s still something that wasn’t in my bingo chart for 2024.…
This is how you win writing a book
A few years ago, I started this tradition of purchasing books from places I have been. Ideally, and because I’m a hopeless romantic, I’ll eventually have books from different cities that will remind me of the different memories I have made in those places. Like that one book I had a hard time picking in…
Maybe in another book
Life is made of choices. Each choice we make branches into different version of ourselves that have a different outcome depending on that one important thing we got to do. Marvel universe explains it in a way, with the timelines and multi universes. Our lives are like visual novels or dating sims, where the ending you get…
September comes in like a lion
The thing about writing consistently that no one talks about is that, eventually, it becomes a habit. And once it does, the itch of just giving in gets stronger and stronger, until you no longer think about doing anything else with your time. Eat at the same hour for a month, exercise, read, walk your…
Maybe in another year
I often don’t like to think about the future. When I was a kid, I didn’t even think I would make it past 18, and not because I didn’t want to, but because it seemed like 18 was too far away still. I was never much of a planner myself, I didn’t particularly figure out…
After them
I have a Twitch clip of the moment I beat the final boss of Doom Eternal. I recently bought a Cixin Liu book. And I keep my old pair of salomon trail shoes, just in case I need them again. I am highly motivated and influenced by love, probably that’s why I’m Necoco Love and…
My work and other black holes
For many years I found it rather difficult to have a sense of belonging among my group of friends from school. I never felt like the pretty one, or the rather “conventionally normal girl”, the ones guys are attracted to. Being into videogames and anime from a young age just made me aware that I…
Pandemic on the shore
Have you ever lived a moment that changed your life, for good or bad, and it perpetually marked a before and after in your life? Have you ever felt like a part of you died during this said event, and even though you can never go back, you miss how things used to be/feel? Sometimes…
The book listeners
A few years ago, when I was browsing the internet, I ended up in a website for digital books that allowed you to listen to the audiobook versions of them. By the time I was new to this concept of audiobooks, since I had been a physical book girlie for years. I was still coming…
