just a little collection of ramblings and dreams :)


  • "a love song for the two of me"

    song lyrics i'm working on, and will hopefully record!
    trigger warning for references to self harm, but there's a happy ending in the end

    Spoiler! :
    [Verse 1]
    I see you pulling up your sleeve
    Mourning what couldโ€™ve been
    You lay there cursing at the sheets
    Wondering how you sinned

    [Verse 2]
    You only count the unforgivable
    Vowing to never breathe again
    Yes it hurts, but pain is typical
    We canโ€™t stay cynical

    [Chorus]
    The rivers on your skin will dessicate
    The red eyes that feed them will dry
    Betrayal burns, yet you must quell the hate

    [Refrain]
    For I will love you
    You will love me again
    I will love you
    You will love you again

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Repeat Refrain]

    [Bridge]
    If only there had been someone to go to
    Somebody that saves you and understands
    Why arenโ€™t any of us out there?
    What is what, what is a choice?

    [Repeat Chorus]

    [Repeat Refrain]

  • man, been so busy junior year. i've forgotten how to write prose, probably, save for the little fanfiction i do occasionally, or even just things in general that aren't songs.

    i am so tired. i had no idea this year would be this exhausting, but who's to say how it'll turn out in the end? when it hurts, i'll come back here. hopefully. and teach myself how to write things again.

  • Personal ramblings and teenage cringe!
    Spoiler! :
    Dear self from four months ago,

    You wasted a whole lot of time on a liar that never really cared about you. You were just an ego boost to be with and another girl on the list he went through that you don't even know was real. Sorry to say this, but people like this are the reason you have trust issues.

    At least you had a good time while it lasted. At least you were the one to realize you deserved better and cut it off. There was never anything wrong with you...It's that the guy had no morals and your gut knew it. You tried to stop, think, and listen.

    Man.
    God dammit. You have a boyfriend now, though, one that doesn't lie or is obsessively materialistic and one that you feel completely safe and yourself with. Good job on that.

    Sincerely,
    Your future self.

  • struggling *a lot* on writing song lyrics that have the right balance of
    1) poetic
    2) what's running around unleashed in my mind
    3) down to earth/easy to digest
    4) NEW!!!!! ORIGINAL!!!!!! FRESH AS HECK!!!!!!
    but if i try to do all of these, nothing comes out at all. i really wonder why lol

  • Taking AP Lang with a hard yet good teacher has been an incredibly surreal experience. I never thought I'd be learning about rhetoric or the nature of literature in an English class...kind of makes me question everything I know about the subject, you know? And screaming at how ungodly of an amount of homework I have is, well, pleasant.

    this is gonna be a long long long long long year

  • A new flash fiction piece i've written is out, dealing with my own personal issues of perfection, body image, and running away from reality (which seems to be a really common theme in my works, huh). Check it out here:

  • time is weird.

    junior year has been nothing short of busy for me, just like the summer. i now have my first boyfriend out of a trip that forever changed my life, and valuable lessons regarding love interests from the mistakes i'd made directly before.

    maybe i've been less productive on the writing front. but at least, i've learned that all good literature i produce needs the requirement of being somewhat miserable. :,)

  • I'll just check in here as this little safe space of mine to say that I've been feeling well this summer. Things are going...and smoothly, too. There's backpacking, SAT prep, language learning and some room to write. I'm quite busy, but I get to breathe, too. The grass's greener on the other side!
