Navigating Life’s Tragic Comedy

Life often feels like a tragic comedy, a paradox we seem to accept but never fully understand. In our quest for connection, we find that the closer we reach, the more elusive our relationships become. The more I strive to uncover the depths of those I care about, the more enigmatic they seem.

The essence of this challenge is not merely in solving a puzzle but in understanding the mysterious nature of human connections. Each piece of information about another person becomes a fragment of a larger mystery. When faced with such complexity, the pursuit is not about solving but about embracing the enigma and learning from it.

This quest for understanding highlights a profound aspect of relationships: the balance between patience and persistence. 

As I navigate these complexities, I am reminded that true understanding requires time and respect for the other’s pace. 

It is not about forcing clarity but allowing it to unfold organically.

Reflecting on this journey, I realize that my approach to relationships is deeply influenced by my own desires and limitations. My efforts to know and understand are colored by my personal inclinations and the occasional frustration of not fully grasping another’s inner world. 

Yet, in this pursuit, I find both challenge and beauty, as the process itself becomes a means of personal growth.

In the end, the essence of relationships lies in their ability to inspire and transform us. It is in the act of seeking to understand that we find a deeper connection to ourselves and others. The mystery remains, but it is in this uncertainty that we discover the true value of our interactions. 

As life continues to unfold its humorous and poignant moments, we learn to appreciate the journey of connection, accepting the depth of what it means to truly relate.

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 ...

Stars and Songs

It’s 2 am and I am still awake. Though I had a long nap this afternoon, for some reason, my stubborn brain suddenly erupts in these manic streaks. My mind suddenly reboots itself and in a couple of minutes, I become as hyper as a kid who just ate 27 chocolate bars.  Since it’s pointless to lie down and struggle to find the best position, I took my laptop, go out at the porch and started writing. As sat there, I looked at the heavens and there shines my moon together with the stars. The sky was barren of clouds and you can perfectly see how the earth is blanketed by the dark sky as the moon and the stars gave it an enchanting touch.  The moon’s light is waning, so are my thoughts. I guess I am lunatic as I can write lots whenever the moon goes full. I consider the moon as my muse so I wondered, Why can't I shift my obsession to the stars?  I think this is quite improbable. Stars are illusions, I mean, most of the time, the light that we see from these stars are actually t...
