It’s been a long time since you…

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I am finally back with a new blog for you guys! Here are some real updates for you guys soon:

• Jenny and I are in the process of drafting new podcast ideas so stay tuned for that!

• Starting from the new year, I wanted to try something new. I feel like I was giving too many book reports/reviews so I decided to expand our Dailyist to a bigger scale.

• I am in the works of a travel vlog! Stay tuned for that :)

Now, I’ve been working on a poem that has been sitting in my google docs for the LONGEST time and I’ve slowly been releasing to some of my friends but now I guess it’s going to be released to you guys too!

The poem is called “absence.”

hope you enjoy!

absence.

in the white space between heartbeats,

where silence accumulates like the dust,

i am remembering how breath

becomes a fragile architecture

your absence is a topology

mapped out in negative space

punctured by memories that leak

like watercolors bleeding through thin paper

sometimes grief to me looks like:

a mathematics of emptiness

equations where love

cannot be solved

i collect the shattered syllables of your name

and scatter them across empty rooms

watch how they refuse

to reassemble back together

my body is a landscape 

where mourning grows wild

unstructured

untamed

each memory a tectonic plate

shifting

breaking

reforming

and in this moment

i am both the wound

and the healing

simultaneously existing

— navigating through the land of loss.

Thank you for reading!
