The Beauty of Things That Don’t Last
I recently heard someone say he didn’t buy flowers because they die too quickly, so he bought wine instead. At first, it sounded like a practical choice. But when I thought deeper about it, something bothered me. The idea that we avoid beautiful things simply because they won’t stay forever made me question how we… Continue reading

If the Universe Were Random, It Wouldn’t Feel This Perfect
Sometimes I sit and think about how strange it is that we exist at all. You and I are made of seven octillion atoms, arranged with such impossible precision that consciousness becomes possible. We think, we feel, we question, we love, and we breathe on a planet that hangs in open space like a miracle.… Continue reading

Why Today’s Winners Don’t Feel Like Champions
There was a time when the word “champion” carried a weight that went far beyond a trophy. A champion was someone who represented heart, discipline, courage, humility, and a deep sense of purpose.

This Isn’t the Life We Were Meant to Live
There’s a photo I saw recently — a group of people on a lunch break, sitting neatly on a patch of grass. Above it, a caption read: “Caged-free, pasture-raised humans, allowed to roam for 30 minutes a day. Just the way nature intended…” It was meant to be funny. But to me, it hit harder… Continue reading

Unfinished Novel
A cold breeze passed through my window and fluttered the pages of my old literature book. The night was voiceless and calm but the thunders were loud. I could see the dark clouds forming the gloomy night and moon disappearing and I was still on my couch reading Maya Angelou’s poems. Daniel Caesar’s Japanese Denim… Continue reading

Half Written Poem
” Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary” — Dead Poets Society. So many unsaid things on the tip of my tongue but something are better left unsaid; I never told you, but I was falling in love I will not say it was never meant to be because I believed it… Continue reading
