When Speaking Up Was Dangerous
For much of human history, silence was not a choice—it was a survival strategy. Speaking up could cost a person their freedom, their livelihood, or their life. Yet again and again, individuals chose to speak anyway. They challenged kings, churches, empires, dictators, and deeply rooted social norms. Their voices were often punished in their own time, but their words reshaped the future.

Word of the Day: 梨
I feel Yuuichirou for some reason, I don't need to talk to him though, it is probably because of the nerves. Ah yea, he was so stressed I think, he went rabid. Just flashback to memories, you know? I allow myself to process them here but, it is weird because processing them with Jahon, I can say them out loud, but the way he is perceiving everything is like that one tortured ghost on the subway from the movie Ghost.

The Ghost in the Garden
The moon tonight, it's a cold, white disk, slicing through the bare branches outside my window. Same kind of moon we used to have, wasn't it? Full and unforgiving, spilling silver across the lawn like a spilled vial of mercury. I stare at it, my fingers tracing the condensation on the glass. This house, it’s quiet now, the kind of quiet that lets you hear your own heartbeat thrumming against your ribs, a drumbeat of old, buried things.

I Stopped Chasing Fashion Trends — and That’s When I Truly Started Noticing Them. AI-Generated.
For a long time, fashion trends felt exhausting to me. Every season seemed louder than the last. New colors, new silhouettes, new rules about what was “in” and what was suddenly outdated. I followed them at first—mostly out of curiosity—but eventually I stopped trying to keep up.

Word of the Day: 小切手
I am too tired to be standing at my work desk right now. I have gathered a lot of time, which I am pretty happy about, and Jahon is asleep so I can relax for a bit. He got very sleepy from the indica so, I think he's finally napping properly.

Voices That Shaped History
History is often told through dates, wars, and political decisions, but beneath every major turning point lies something far more human: a voice. Before laws were written, before revolutions erupted, before societies changed, someone spoke. Sometimes it was a whisper shared in secret. Other times it was a roar delivered to millions. But every era-defining moment began with words spoken by someone brave enough to use their voice.

I believe in Love
I believe that love is a choice as well as a feeling. Where love considers the other person faults and all. It wants, believes and hopes for the best. It doesn't just deal with the other person's BS it shines a light into it, whereby the other person sees what they need to do to fix themselves, to become better, to leave their own comfort zone because they know this person who loves them dearly is already holding them up. Is there alongside them and at the finishing line and at the next stage showing the next step. They are already believing and seeing the growth and transformation.
