Gut Feeling
An encounter in an infinite universe…A comfort as if you’ve known each other for years, so natural, so relax…Yet secretly a quiet distance remains. It’s hard to call it a gain or a loss. Neither good nor bad. Perhaps this is exactly what we mean by being. One can feel close without knowing. Maybe not at…

The Surreal Nature of Grief and Memory
Exactly 21 years ago today, one of the events that changed the way I look at lifeö perhaps the very first. took place. For the first time, I saw how people I had perceived as solid and unshakable in childhood could be completely shattered by an unexpected blow. I saw everyone at their weakest. I…

My Journey Through Social Disconnect
The text is about me. It’s more of an analysis of myself and a conversation with myself. Photo by Samuel Austin on Unsplash Throughout my life, the feeling I’ve had has always been the same: on the outside, normal and adaptive; on the inside, a few steps removed from the flow of the world. I…

Career
Envying the Determined When I see people who are steady and know exactly what they’re doing, I sometimes envy them.

Lawn Mover
I shut down my computer, packed my bag, and, as usual, I was the last one to leave work. As I walked toward the car, something caught my eye: the lawn mower. Quietly and patiently, it was mowing the grass, inch by inch. The office had closed, everyone was gone, but it was still working.…

35 Years after my Birth
I wrote this last year and want to share it as it is even if it is 35 years after my birth. How beautiful were the days when we had no responsibilities. All those moments spent staring at our hands, the days we played with our feet. Our only concern was food. Sounds used to…

Finding Meaning in a Life of Migration
I carry within me a constant urge to migrate. I don’t know if it’s an escape from myself, or simply the thrill of starting over again and again. Would I be content if I were a bird, free to fly wherever I wished? There was a time when travel felt simple—when I could just enjoy…
