Moon's journey & thoughts

 WRITTEN IN THE STARS From the first moment our eyes met on July 23, I felt a magnetic pull I couldn’t explain. It was as if I’d known him across lifetimes, like he was a part of my soul waiting to be found. His deep brown eyes, flecked with honey, held a quiet fire that seemed to reach through time, sparking in me a longing to uncover the countless stories within him. When he speaks of his passions—philosophy, distant lands, and the people and places that shaped him—each word spills out like a treasure, a glimpse into the depths of his being. With him, every moment feels timeless, as though we were destined to spend eternity together. When he looks at me, holds me, loves me, I feel seen and cherished in ways words barely touch. His gaze, his touch, the way he compliments me, acknowledges me, and values my feelings—all of it makes me feel understood, like he sees through to the core of who I am. When he speaks, there’s a gentleness, a care that envelops me, as if our souls are movi...

Finding Hope Amidst Uncertainty I'm terrified. Terrified of the future and what it holds and unfolds. The unknown stretches out before me like an endless, uncharted sea, and each wave of doubt threatens to pull me under. The fear of what might come, of the challenges that lie ahead, is overwhelming. It's as if I'm standing on the edge of a precipice, unsure of whether I'll find solid ground beneath my feet or if I'll plummet into the abyss below. The future feels like a vast, intimidating void, filled with unanswered questions and potential pitfalls. What if things don’t go as planned? What if I fail? What if the dreams I’ve nurtured with such care shatter under the weight of reality? These thoughts swirl around in my mind, feeding the anxiety that seems to grow stronger with each passing day. But amidst this fear, I also know that hope exists. Even in the darkest moments, a flicker of light can guide us through the shadows. Hope isn't about denying the fear or ...

Reflections on Nostalgia: Cherishing the Past and Embracing the Present I miss how things were. Not everything, but certain friendships, relationships, and moments. It’s the memories that linger and tug at my heartstrings. I find myself yearning for those times, wishing I had cherished them more and been more appreciative.  Looking back, I realize that I often wasn't fully present in the moment. I was so caught up in the rush of life that I didn't take the time to soak in the beauty of those fleeting experiences. Now, at 20, I find myself scrolling through old texts, pictures, and conversations, reminiscing about the people I used to know and the places I once called home. There’s a bittersweet nostalgia in these reflections.  Yet, amid this wistfulness, a profound sense of gratitude emerges. I am thankful for the moments I shared with those people, for the places that shaped me, and for the memories that have become a part of who I am. It’s a comforting thought to realize tha...

 Navigating the Depths of Love and Self-Discovery  Love, in all its intricacies, has been a profound force shaping the chapters of my life. From my earliest memories, I found joy in giving love—nurturing relationships, making others feel cherished, and devoting myself to their happiness. However, as life unfolded and I encountered its myriad experiences, I began to realize that love is not only about giving; it's also about receiving, being valued, and finding a deeper connection within myself.  In this phase of profound self-discovery, I am navigating the delicate balance between giving and receiving love. I've learned that to authentically love others, I must first love myself—acknowledging my worth, embracing my imperfections, and nurturing my own dreams and aspirations. This journey of self-discovery is a continuous process of introspection and growth, allowing me to uncover hidden strengths and reshape my understanding of love and relationships.  As I delve deep...

Echoes of Creation: Rekindling the Artistic Spirit Art has always been the lifeblood of society, encompassing poetry, music, writing, theatre, painting, drawing, pottery, architecture, sculpting, and film. Yet, it feels as though we've lost sight of its profound importance.  Our society thrives on art—it gives color to our existence and allows us to breathe. However, in today's world, the focus seems to be solely on "jobs," which have become mere survival mechanisms rather than sources of genuine happiness.  In the past, art was everywhere, enriching lives and bringing joy. Unfortunately, today, art is often seen merely as a means of making money, rather than something to be cherished for its beauty and significance over millennia.  We've become so preoccupied with the future and the pursuit of financial stability that we've forgotten to enjoy the present moment. The present should be a time of happiness, filled with activities like art. This busyness has dist...

The Power of Beginnings As I sit down to write about beginnings, I can't help but reflect on Mary Shelley's profound words: " The beginning is always today. " Each time I encounter this quote, it resonates deeply within me, reminding me of the endless potential that every new day brings. It's a reminder that no matter what has happened in the past, today marks an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to embark on a new journey, and to pursue our dreams with renewed vigor.  In our lives, beginnings are not just moments in time; they are transformative experiences that shape who we are and who we become. Whether it's starting a new job, moving to a new city, or beginning a new relationship, each new beginning is filled with excitement, anticipation, and a hint of apprehension. It's a blank canvas waiting to be painted with the colors of our hopes, aspirations, and ambitions.  I remember the feeling of starting university—the mix of nervousness and exciteme...
