This is the first time on Tumblr that I feel really content with blogging. Way back I was just posting whatever came to mind and following whoever. It seemed to get boring pretty quickly and before you know it I was deactivating over and over again.
This time around its different because I love being able to express myself on here through writing or other forms of media. At first I was nervous...

If only reality were as concrete, simple, and straight-forward as novels. Sentences, whether elongated and stretched or short and sweet, become the defining line between fantasy and make-believe. Those words, the ones that the author specifically chooses to stick between the pages, bring mystical life to dull pulps of fiction. Spines, hard and structured, bendy and broken-in; each...

My parents mention occasionally of wanting to go back to there birth place. Sometimes they speak of going separately and leaving the rest of us here in the states to live our lives. They are even building a house too for when they get back home. They miss their families and they strive for rest at this time, waiting for retirement. Rarely they speak of not coming back once they move across the...

I hope to see this film. It’s called Winds of September (2008). It is a coming of age Taiwanese film about a group of boys and one girl that are high school students about to graduate. They are at first friends but then something devastating happens to one of members and soon everyone starts falling apart. The trailer looks good too.

Everyone needs to escape occasionally: from work, classes, stress, social media or issues that are bothering them. The things that keep them tossing and turning in the early hours of the day that leave lines of sweat covering there forehead and confusion all around. I find my escape in movies and books. I can step into another person’s world for a while and then step back into mine.

I just need to vanish for a while. I just need to get away from here. I want to clear my mind of the clutter that keeps me restless at night.
If only we try to live sincerely, it will go well with us, even though we are...

You hung up the telephone on me to lessen the noise of the frozen tears for winter on the other side. Taking all signs and signals of assistance for something far less than what it really is. Looking only at outward appearances instead focusing on internal affairs. Is it because you are afraid of what could be revealed about the past? Or do you find my thoughts inadmissible a mockery of...

I had a false awakening last night. My 1st dream was filled with giant people walking over buildings and cars that I could see as I looked out of a high hotel window. A woman was disappearing into the water below. Then a huge flood of murky water came and washed all that I saw away from view. I could feel someone/something grabbing me away from the window at this point of the dream. At that moment...

The night sky becomes a work of art as the stars and constellations start coming together to create a distant portrait for the whole world to see. The stars like dim light bulbs flicker in and out as the moon is nowhere to be found, missing in space.
The city skyline looks like a gigantic blur of midnight conversations, spilled secrets or many people moving in between places. When I stare out...

All the windows are drawn closed in my room at this hour. Heavy thinking invades my mind. It has turned me into a insomiatic at nightfall. I cannot figure out how to get through the issues that no one wants to talk about.
I am falling into the strange feelings and reactions to things I had just like that past summer again, where it all started. I just want to learn how to deal with them, if...
