Know in your heart that you will attract everything that is meant for you.

Use to be

A friend of yours.

Use to be

Your confidante.

Use to be

Your comedian.

Use to be

Your excuse to your mother.

Use to be

The person who would protect you from everyone and everything.

Use to be

What you referred me as your “bestie” …

But now

I’m blocked and ignored.

Not really sure where or how our fallout came to be.

You left unannounced. Not one word to let me things got this bad between us.

Yes, there use to be some distance. We grew up, life happened and our path slightly altered.

It didn’t change my love or my dedication to our friendship.

I always wanted you there. I always wanted to have our friend adventures. But you always said no or that you couldn’t.

I use to wait for the time you were finally free.

I use to be your friend. I use to love the time we spent together.

I use to hope you would make time for me.

You never did. Turning off the light in our friendship, leaving me in the darkness to find my wait out.

I still mourn you. I mourn our time. I mourn our conversation. I mourn our inside jokes. I mourn the sound of your voice.

I mourn you even though you live. I use to be your friend.

I use to be whatever you wanted me to be.

Perhaps, it’s best that we use to be —what I held with highest regard, your best friend.

Maybe, one day, I’ll know why you left. But for now, I’ll remain your use to be friend.

I still wish you well. 💛

Happy New Years ~

Why so silent, good messieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good?

Inspired by my personal project to redesign some of my favourite book covers and media posters, I wanted to start with one of my all time favourite musicals, The Phantom of the Opera!

Until We Meet Again

I forget how quickly grief comes back to you. It never does leave you.

Hiding in the dark corners of your mind. Lurking and waiting patiently to strike.

You are never prepared for it. No matter how many times you may experience grief, it comes back like you’ve never dealt with it before.

I didn’t ask Death to hover around my life. I didn’t ask Death to take away people that I love and care about.

Why would any want to experience this pain? Again and again and again?! I’m tired of this sadness. I’m tired of this grief. My pain isn’t going to bring back my loved ones or my friends.

It won’t take away the heart ache I feel. No one thinks this day could be their last. I can’t stand to lose another friend again…. But I did. I did … again. After a few months of losing another.

I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost family. And now … I feel like I’ve lost myself again —-in this grief.

Over the years, you learn to deal with it. You learn to manage. To slowly heal and move on. You accept the fact that grief… will linger. But it will be quieter.

But it’s not today. It wasn’t yesterday or the day before. It won’t be… not for a while.

I lost a good childhood friend two days go. He died unexpectedly. Leaving behind his wife, 2 yr old son, his father, brother and his little sister.

A family that already went through a tragedy many years ago. Losing their mother at a young age. Their mother was my mom’s dearest, closest and best friend. It took my mom and all us — years to recover from her death.

Two days ago… I also lost my friend. Someone I grew up with. Someone who I had so many memories before I moved to where I am now. Someone that we did lose touch for a bit ——but reconnected years later.

Slowly growing closer over the last few years again. My heart aches… for his wife. His son—-who is going through the same thing my friend did all those years ago. My heart truly breaks for his father, his brother and his sweet beautiful sister.

Oh Nico. I can’t describe this hole that is slowly developing in my heart. I was looking forward to having you at my wedding. Just like you invited me to yours. I was looking forward to the day—when I have my kid—to meet yours too. It’s still gonna happen.

Our big, beautiful, fun-loving and loud LLASU family have got you. We will take care of Megan and Luca. We will miss you Nico. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for showing me Space Balls. Thanks for always playing with me. Thanks for the sleep overs, the fun, the parties… all of it.

You will be so missed Nico. It won’t be the same without you. It truly won’t.

You Read that Right.

Yes, the Queen has died. You may feel sad or you may not. Your feelings are yours alone and they are valid. Britain and many parts of the world mourn a great loss. While other places are not mourning. The British Monarchy are not famed celebrities. They belong to an Empire that created a lot of destruction, death, colonization and bloodshed. That part of history isn’t for the faint hearted. It’s raw and painful. The institution symbolizes a lot tensions for many nations that were known as the “commonwealth”. It is not secret how powerful they were—who knows maybe still are powerful. I do not know. Queen Elizabeth death will raise a lot of bottled up of things. You either love them or hate them. It is true that Queen Elizabeth had to immediately take the throne after her father’s death. She did not have much choice. And she ruled a nation at the age of 25. Not really allowed to live a life she may have planned for herself before becoming Queen. Who knows what her dreams were before ruling a nation. I will not lie that the royal family is victim of this institution at times. But, one must play the role right? It is one’s choices that reflect one’s action. The Royals have made of a lot choice that reflect where they stand. And that royalty is heard loud and clear. So take this time to read upon those actions. Learn about colonialism. Learn about the East India Company. Learn about the commonwealth. Learn about the Government of India Act 1858. Learn about Suez Crisis. Learn about the supremacy and patriarchal institution that is the Monarchy. Learn about the Death of Princess Diana. Learn about Wallis Simposon- Duchess of Windsor and Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor. Learn about Prince Harry and Meghan Markel- Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Take the time to read about the British Rule and their empire that destroyed numerous colonies. You can still mourn the Queen, but learn the history. Understand how those actions —became parts of our history over time. The more you know, the better you understand. Queen Elizabeth II was a respected, influential and charismatic person. She truly was and I will not deny that. But as her legacy will continue to live on, it is time that the true history, the history that is not talked about, lives on too.
