I just saw an account that posts totally nude photos. I immediately blocked it. Maybe it's just me, but as an Asian who grew up in a conservative country, it's kind of a big deal to me. I didn't know you could post like that here on #bsky 😭😭

i used to hate endings. they felt like failure. but now i see them as beginnings in disguise. you don’t lose people.tyou lose illusions. you lose versions of yourself that were tied to them. and what’s left is the truth. and that’s always worth keeping.❤️❤️

we crave deep connections but settle for surface ones.

you always try to be the strong one.
but who do you turn to when you’re breaking?

you deserve support, too.❤️❤️

for those who know me and my way of writing, you will understand this.
for those who are new and judgmental, it is up to you how you absorb this.

You Think I’m Home, But I’m the Fire

Someone told me, “You’ve changed.” And I took it as a compliment. I don’t want to be the same person I was last year, last month, or even last week. Growth means shedding old versions of myself, eve...

but needing space, love, or rest isn’t wrong.
start saying “thank you for understanding” instead.❤️❤️
