She’s My Soft Spot, and Research Is the Wild Ride I’m On

Ever had lunch with someone who talks more than they chew?
That’s my adorable sister.

Yup, it’s me again, casually slurping buko juice and snacking on boiled eggs. When my little sister makes herself comfy next to me like, “I gotta tell you what happened in my games!” She knows I’m not into it, but tells me anyway like I’m her #1 fan. I don't need to understand the games. I just need to understand the sparkle in her eyes when she starts her game rants.

 Nature’s way of saying, ‘Why not both?’ 

Earlier, I was glued to a Chinese mystery series and found out about gynandromorphism, a rare butterfly phenomenon where one side’s male and the other’s female. Yin and yang, but with butterfly swagger.

The Best Kind of Bond

Blasting My Fave Thai Song 🔊 🎵

Dancing like the girl with the long black hair in the video, singing like I’m in love, all while snacking on frozen cake and iced milk.

I’m vibing in my main character moment
when my sister pops in, her face a picture of innocence,
and says, “Mind helping me find my rabbit?”

Wherefore Art Thou, Rabbit?
I halted my song and froze my dance,
all for thee!

Mine own sibling, the yang to my yin,
Dost keep things playful with a cheeky spin. 🐰🤭

A Silent Love

There you are on the bus, so tired, and even though I don’t usually pray, I just want you safe, that’s all. Wherever you are, may you be safe, especially on nights out. I pray that caring souls are always there for you.

May the love that finds you be a gift, not an exchange. The kind that says, I wish you a happy life. Love is neither a transaction (where you expect something in return) nor a condition (based on give and take). Love, as I’ve learned, is freedom, a lesson my biological father instilled in me. Regardless of whether I’m part of your world or someone else holds your heart, your joy is still my greatest wish.

You’re my favorite soul,
not for your looks,
but for what you feel like within.

To others,
you may seem like
the ultimate combination.

I do not see you
as others see you.
