desirable droplets

it's raining in the middle of summer. this is just what i needed to deal with my uncomfortable humid evenings.

i was never a fan of precipitation. getting my feet wet was always disgusting, the gloominess of the skies felt like an unnecessary heaviness to my days, and really getting around just gets much much worse when it rains. but when faced with the general discomfort of summer evenings, rain is a welcome reprieve.

that's the thing about constants in our lives. we're going to have our favorites, we're going to have those that we'd hope to do without. but their value is never absolute. it always depends on the environment. sometimes things only make sense when put in the right place. and right now i'm comfortably cooled in my cozy corner of my room thanks to an unexpected downpour.

but i'm sure somewhere down the line i'm going to curse the heavens for sending me a storm when i least needed it. and it's simply a matter of either opening my umbrella or rushing indoors, whatever it takes to make life less shitty for the meantime.

whatever it takes. cause it's not always bad, sometimes it's worse too.

an ode to rubenesque figures

i have to give credit to the fat women that have been part of my life. they're the most solid figure i've consistently had. i'm not sure whether it's a widespread obesity thing, probably not. neither is it simply a matter of me seeking out fat women to have in my life. it's not like a woman's excess of weight affect their personality, other than perhaps having a voracious appetite, and if there's anything i can always get along with it's love for food. and it's not like their perceived huggableness matter to me, physical touch ranks extremely low in my preference for human interactions. admittedly, i will find chunkier women more attractive, but almost all of the fat women in my life have always been platonic arrangements. so no, i have no idea why there's always a fat woman playing a significant role in my life. but what i am certain of is that i am pretty damn grateful for them no matter how much of a strange recurring theme it may be. ...

meet the focher

i'm conflicted when this blog gets page views.  my initial thought is "my writing must've been optimized for the search engine". understandable for a small number of readers stumbling on this esoteric content. i primarily write for myself as a form of therapy, because i'm too stingy to avail the services of a licensed professional, and validate the efficacy of psychiatric medicine. so a couple of eavesdroppers violating doctor-patient confidentiality is acceptably forgivable. it gets scary when the page views get reach the thousands. anonymity ameliorates the fear. funny how the tables have turned. my actual social media accounts barely hit double-digit engagements, and i went through a pathetically unsuccessful clickbait phase to chase after clout. back then, i just wanted the attention because being relevant felt good. perhaps after the personal rebellion our hormone-addled selves go through, we get a strong desire to prove ourselves as an up-and-coming young ad...

time space continuum

the older i get, the more i wish i could travel back in time with what i know now  i used to be a 5th grader wishing to be a 2nd grader, thinking i will ace all basic arithmetic after finally understanding algebra. then i became a college student wishing to be a high schooler, thinking i will re-invent myself after finally overcoming my social awkwardness. then i became a working adult wishing to be a student, thinking i will get into better schools after finally developing a solid work ethic. and now i'm in my 30s wishing to re-live life all over again, thinking i will avoid all of my life's regrets after finally learning from my mistakes. it's likely that this pattern will continue.
