Words

I didn’t plan to say but needed to.

Somewhere between ennui and spark, my raw, unfiltered bits are here.

I’m a nerdy girl with a pen—the type who always carries a black Pilot Precise V5, has read thousands of books, and still scribbles in the margins. Sometimes I’m just writing back to an author who’ll never read it.

Maybe one day, all these scribbles will grow into books of their own.

Not That Kind of Woman

I don’t cook. I don’t serve. My stove’s clean, untouched. This isn’t that kind of home. I am not that kind of woman.

First Date, Last Nerve

A married millionaire, a Hungarian f*ckboi, and a lost therapist—these dates were more like tests from the universe. Spoiler: I failed spectacularly.

Art of Flirting

Don’t Say “Eiffel for You”. The best flirting is spontaneous—a lingering glance, a playful tease, a smile that says, “I see you.”

Peace Over Purpose

What if peace, not purpose, is what we’ve been looking for? In a world that glorifies hustle and achievement, it's easy to overlook the quiet power of simply being.

The Mirror’s Game

The game isn’t about me, it’s about you. The mirror shows you what you want to see, but I’ll make you question if it’s ever really me.

The Gentlemen's Masquerade

I stand barefoot, facing away, a body carved by innocence and sin alike. Not your wife. Not your whore. Not your cure.

In Their Glow

I’ve laughed in love and wept in pain. I’ve danced in the sun and cried in the rain. All those moments, whether dim or bright, still shimmer softly in the light of memory.
