Out of Coverage Area


Recently, there’s this new thing blowing up on the internet—some wild trend called “going viral.” Basically, it’s when everyone suddenly knows you, your awkward dance moves, and that embarrassing thing you said at a party, all at once. Sounds fun, right? Like winning a lottery where the prize is endless strangers watching your every misstep.

But here’s the plot twist: not everyone wants to go viral. Some of us prefer to stay comfortably invisible—like that forgotten corner table at a café where no one steals your Wi-Fi or judges your third cup of coffee. Fame? Nah. We’re more into “fame-adjacent”—you know, the sweet spot between “who?” and “oh, that person.”

Going viral is like getting shoved into a mosh pit of eyeballs. Suddenly, your life’s mess-ups become public entertainment. Your privacy? Poof. Your dignity? Left somewhere between “sent” and “read.” And forget about controlling the narrative—once you’re viral, you’re basically a meme factory with no quality control.

Some folks chase that spotlight like it’s the last slice of pizza. But for us? The thought of millions dissecting our typos, our weird laugh, or the time we accidentally sent a text to the wrong crush? Pass. We prefer the slow, quiet drip of life, where our mistakes don’t get retweeted, and our weirdness stays off trending hashtags.

So here’s to the invisible—the masters of low-key existence, the champions of “please don’t tag me,” and the quiet lovers of privacy. Because sometimes, the best kind of attention is no attention at all.

After all, staying out of the viral circus means fewer clowns, less noise, and way more snacks.

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

The Slow Death of the Familiar Lie

The 2025 elections just ended. Not with fireworks, not with riots—just the quiet unraveling of yet another chapter in our nation’s long and complicated dance with democracy. There’s something different in the air this time. Something subtle, like the way dusk falls before you even realize the day is gone. You feel it before you name it: a shift. Not seismic, perhaps not even visible to the untrained eye. But there, like a whisper at the edge of a crowded room. People have grown wiser. And no, this isn’t naive optimism. It’s not the kind of blind faith that wears campaign colors and chants slogans. It’s the kind of wisdom that comes from repeated heartbreak—from choosing hope too many times, only to be betrayed by men in suits and smiles. From believing in change only to see it morph into the same old trapo politics dressed in newer fonts. “Pain is a brutal but effective teacher—especially in a country where memory is often the first casualty of every election cycle.” But maybe ...

The Tension Between Hope and Despair

This is w here the light breaks just to drown. Hope isn’t some pretty thing. It’s a slow burn that keeps you awake at night, fooling you with a whisper, “Maybe this time.” It digs its claws in, even when everything screams you’re done. Hope’s the hook you can’t shake, even when it’s tearing you apart from the inside. Despair doesn’t wait politely. It crashes in like a storm, cold and sharp, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready or not. It doesn’t dance with hope—they fight. It’s brutal, ugly. Despair wants to swallow everything whole, leaves no room for mercy. There’s no peace between them. It’s a war you didn’t sign up for, but you live it every damn day—grasping for that fragile flicker, even as the darkness tightens around your throat. You hold hope like a lifeline but feel despair pulling the knot tighter. No balance. No graceful dance. Just a mess of broken promises and shattered dreams. Hope keeps you chasing ghosts; despair waits, patient, knowing it will win. And the worst p...
