I know nothing.

Maybe next time, I'll pause.
I'll wait.
I'll love myself first before seeking you.
I'll trust my instincts more.

Maybe next time, you'll see me for who I am.
You'll love me unapologetically.
You'll fight to stay.
You'll never let go.

Maybe next time, we'll end up together.

an excerpt.

The night is unkind.
With cold that sticks to the very folds of your skin, ignoring the thick blanket you have draped over your body.

[Israel Kun @Israelkun_1]

The mosquitoes — you're reminded as you swing blindly in the dark — unrelenting in their 360⁰ flights around your ears for the upteenth time, cry out in annoyance.

If them no see food chop, you no go sleep be that.

Despite the fact that he played — feels weird using past tense here — for a rival team, I actually liked Diogo Jota and watching him play.
A really good footballer.

He will be missed, on and off the pitch.

Someone might wonder why I'm writing this about a footballer who doesn't know I exist (trust me, I've seen some people say this).
But it doesn't matter, because I know he exists.
And I've known loss. Not once, not twice.
So, it's not beyond me to feel this way when someone passes

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota.

Today, I came across a stranger.
But it was weird, because I know her name, her hobbies, and even her secrets.

[Israel Kun @Israelkun_1]

It kinda sucks, to be honest.
But then, they say “It only gets better.”
I wish a bigger part of me believed that.

I remember once, a long time ago, when I was wide-eyed and my curiosity of the world had me believing in Pokemon and Pegasuses and infinite cartwheels.
Now, it's all taxes and threats of world wars in a time when I'm still trying to grow into my adult boots.
