Christmas Time

Decorating the Christmas tree is not just about placing ornaments on branches—it’s a time for family and friends to come together. It’s about sharing laughter, telling stories, and even revisiting memories as you unwrap ornaments from years past. Some might argue that the process of decorating is just as important, if not more so, than the final product. It’s a chance to slow down, savor the present moment, and appreciate the joy of being together.

Whether your tree is lavishly adorned or simply decorated with handmade touches, it’s a symbol of warmth and the spirit of the season. As you gather around it in the coming days, you’ll be reminded that the best decorations aren’t just the ones that sparkle and shine—they’re the ones that bring us closer to the people we love and the memories we cherish.

Happiness

True happiness is found when you look within and see the beauty that has always been there. It’s in the way your heart beats, your mind dreams, and your soul shines. When you embrace your own worth, you realize that happiness isn’t something to find

it’s something you’ve always carried, quietly glowing from within.

Listen

there were so many times 
I held my words back
thinking maybe
they would matter to you
thinking you’d hear them and understand
but you never did
now all I have
are the words I never said 
the things I thought
might change your mind
but you never cared enough to listen
I wish I had said more
not to win your attention 
but to free myself from the silence 
maybe then
I would have realized sooner 
that it wasn’t my words you needed
it was your own willingness to listen

House of secrets

in the house of secrets
silence was its own language
the walls whispered stories 
only shadows understood 
and every locked door
guarded a piece of someone 
you’d never fully know
we grew up there
speaking in half-truths 
and learning to walk lightly
love was there
though it wore a mask
soft enough to hold you 
but always just out of reach
by the time we left
we carried the secrets with us
stitched into our skin like old scars 
we never spoke of them 
but in every glance
we knew

When I’m gone

when I’m gone 
you’ll find traces of me 
in quiet moments
whispers in the wind 
echoes in a familiar laugh 
i’ll live in the spaces between your thoughts 
a shadow that softens with time
yet in the stillness
you’ll remember 
I was once here 
and though the world moves on 
I will remain
a flicker in your heart
