I miss you like the rain during the summer. I miss you like the heat during the rain. I miss you when you're gone, and only when you're gone. When my regrets have built up and all I can do is long. Yet I can't tell myself I want you, because looking back at it I don't. But I miss you like the echoes of laughter during grief. I miss you like the summers that I let pass along. I miss you, but just…
There are some days where a heavy bout of melancholy and sadness covers me, but there are some days (like today) where a feeling of cheerfulness and joy follow my trail. It’s days like these that remind me that life is worth living. I really didn’t do much today. It started off like any day— waking up at an ungodly time after sleeping at an ungodly time. The first thing I do is use my…

I remember the first time that she and I got close to each other. It was during one of our English club events when one of our juniors had been teasing her. That wasn’t the first time I had seen her nor talked to her probably, but that was the moment in time where our friendship was basically set in stone as our junior had made a groupchat with the three of us. A groupchat which has had…
Saccharine. Sweet. Glistening like liquid gold. The taste lingers in my mouth, Covering the bitterness of my soul. Much like honey, in its soothing qualities, You have soothed me so. In sweetness, I drown, And a smile grows on my face As I am enveloped in the scent— Of honey and you. The words from your mouth, They flow smoothly. And in their haze, I am hypnotized. Because your words, they tempt…
There is no doubt in my mind that Summer is one of the most well loved seasons out there. The sun shines down on us, school has ended, swimming pools are filled with noise and laughter, and beaches are packed to the brim of families who want a break from the heat that the season brings. I mean, how can someone be sad when the sun shines so loudly? In contrast to the gloomy skies of winter or rainy…
FOSSBilling vs Paymenter: choosing a WHMCS alternative Neither platform fully replaces WHMCS today, but each has distinct strengths depending on your needs.

Merry Christmas, That’s what they all said, The tree is lit, the fire glows softly, Yet inside, there’s a chill that glows. I think we use Christmas as a checkpoint, Every holiday, reminiscing of what we had, What we’ve lost, the missing puzzle piece, What it should have been, what it could have been. Flooded with the feelings of familiarity, Scented candle, warmth coming from the fireplace. But…

“MooHoo” - Steve Jobs in his grave probably Introduction I finally did it, I’m old. Well, not really.

Sat, May 04, 2024 The feeling of an abandoned walls. The smell of a tortured bricks. The sight of an ungrateful paint. And last questions standing — What’s the limit of kindness? Perhaps more than the value of itself. What’s the limit of satisfaction? What’s the limit of wounding? What’s the limit of accepting? How many stories until you understand here?

Prayer: A Normal, Dynamic Conversation A look through the Gospels shows us that Jesus’ prayers were incredibly dynamic, honest, and authentic. From the simplicity of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13 to His heartbroken plea in the Garden of Gethsemane in Matthew 26:36–46, Jesus showed us that prayer is about relationship with our heavenly Father. Prayer is a direct line of communication between…
