26 So Far..

Here I am again, face to face with the same familiar enemy—my insecurities. They’ve been with me for so long, a shadow I’ve been trying to fight off for what feels like forever. Yet, despite their relentless whispers, I’ve kept going. So, let’s take a moment to celebrate, not for the battles I’ve lost, but for the quiet victories I’ve earned. My faith has grown, even in the face of failure. Too many times I’ve stumbled, fallen, and felt the weight of giving up pressing down on me. But here I stand, unbroken. I haven’t quit, and maybe, just maybe, that’s enough for today.

Love and career—both seem dim, their paths not quite as bright as I’d hoped. Life keeps pushing me, forcing me to work hard again and again, as if testing my limits. But maybe that’s the reason I’ve grown strong enough to walk through the fiercest hurricanes. Each storm has shaped me, every gust of wind teaching me resilience. And though the skies may still be dark, I keep walking, knowing that strength isn’t just about surviving the storm—it’s about finding the courage to keep moving forward, no matter how hard the winds howl.

I refuse to walk in remorse, even when I give my all to something, only to find it leading me to a deadlock. Uncertainty and darkness have been my constant companions, lingering beside me, shaping me, and fortifying my spirit. They’ve made me strong, unshakable in the face of life’s relentless trials. I can only hope that my feet—my foundation—will always carry me forward. May they remain steady, reliable, and strong enough to traverse whatever path lies ahead, no matter how rough or uncertain the journey may be.

I’m still learning how to truly embrace sincerity and acceptance—how to let go of what was and find the courage to start anew. It’s a delicate process, like learning to breathe in a new rhythm, one that often feels unfamiliar and uncomfortable. Each step forward feels like a lesson in itself, a never-ending journey of growth and understanding. But perhaps that’s the beauty of it—learning, unlearning, and relearning, as life gently reminds me that growth isn’t a destination but a continuous, evolving path.

To accept who I truly am, to push my limits, to find emotional and financial stability, to embrace freedom, and to grow closer to God—these are the things I strive for. I’m curious to see what lies beyond, what life has in store for me after these steps. I no longer wish for life to be kinder; instead, I hope to become stronger, braver, and more resilient to face whatever comes my way.

Twenty-six years so far... and I’m eager to see what surprises life will unfold next.

In the end, life isn’t about wishing for ease or comfort—it’s about finding the strength to navigate its twists and turns. At 26, I stand at the crossroads of growth and uncertainty, embracing the lessons, the challenges, and the surprises yet to come. With faith in myself and in God, I’m ready to face whatever life unfolds, not with fear, but with courage and hope for a future I’m determined to shape.

Supernova

  Million bulbs in the void, bursts into a piece as its light disperse, like a supernova, we dwell in the fading light, fight against gravity and grow red, restart, become blue with fury, sedated by dark, concourse into the blackhole, turning it into a singularity, succumbing to the demise, reconciled with eternity. We were once scintilation, before we collapse into one, so what are we now? -vic

What Remains After The Great Gatsby-Scott Fitzergald

  I decided to read—and eventually buy— The Great Gatsby  after Haruki Murakami recommended it in his memoir  What I Talk About When I Talk About Running . Murakami wrote: “The Great Gatsby is a truly extraordinary novel. I never tire of its story, no matter how many times I read it. It is a work of literature that enriches you each time you open it. Every rereading reveals something new, something fresh.” At first, the story felt painfully slow. I even put the book down for almost two weeks—despite its slim length of just over a hundred pages. Jazz Age America, seen through Nick Carraway’s eyes, appeared hollow to me: a world filled with etiquette, polite conversations, and quiet arrogance. Everything shifted the moment Nick met Jay Gatsby. Something clicked. From that point on, I could no longer stop turning the pages. Gatsby stood apart from the people of East Egg and West Egg—mysterious, hopeful, and perhaps the only character who possessed a sincere emotional core in...

Embracing the Complexity: My Take on Haruki Murakami, Art, and Criticism

Since I've noticed a lot of Murakami haters popping up on social media lately, and many people seem to be jumping on the bandwagon of hating him without even reading his books, as a fan of Murakami, here’s my take on my favorite author. Some say, “Haruki Murakami might be the type of author you either love or hate—there’s no in between,” and I happen to be someone who really loves Haruki Murakami’s work ((obviously)). Despite all the criticism and hate that portrays him as misogynist or sexist, personally, reading Murakami has opened my perspective on the complexity of the human mind and emotions. I’ve always admired how Murakami conveys complex feelings, but with simple language. I also appreciate the depth of character development in his works, even if some people find it long-winded. But I enjoy that. I really do love his writing style! I also love Murakami’s unusual, surreal imagination. I think his writing offers a lot of insights into various issues. Plus, I’ve discovered man...
