Until Next Time !

-

 

A few months ago, my friend and I happened to go to the airport to drop another friend who was leaving the country for her higher studies. It had been so long since I'd gone to an airport. There is something about airports that catches your guts, something that makes you feel both happy and sad at the same time. While we were outside the departures area waiting for our friend to wave her last bye, I looked at the arrivals area right below. I smiled seeing the happy faces of the people meeting their loved ones after so long. I felt happy all of a sudden. I was so caught up in feeling sad about my friend leaving that I completely overlooked the good parts such as the fact that she'll be back in a few years and that she'll have a wonderful time there. That's the same with life. With all the negativity on top, we often fail to look at the positives and smile. We don't realize just how important looking at the other side can be. 

The light emanating from the airport made the sky look like a sunset. People moving with bags and planes taking off didn't seem scary anymore. I silently said to myself, "Until next time!"

Oyasumi Punpun

Manga review Long, lonely lanes are all I see while I walk home to Punpun. I open the manga, flip the pages, see familiar faces stare into my soul. The air is stiffening, oh, so is my heart, as Punpun lies in his tub pondering over existence. Had I been the mangaka, I'd've colored him blue. He'd be soaring heights without the aid of the sky. I fell asleep trying to connect the stars of a constellation that he loves. I heard him whisper, "What's the point?" Or was it the echo of my own screams? How I wish he was real. I'd have a twin. Everyone would. 'cause Punpun is me. Punpun is you. Punpun is every single one of us in our rawest forms. Oyasumi, Punpun.   Oyasumi Punpun  is a manga written and illustrated by Inio Asano covering themes like depression, loneliness, and the absurdity of life.

  Sweeping my head to find the best memory only to fail miserably and realize that you dwell in my heart. Mef my F.R.I.E.N.D from forever-land   Funky with  a bright brain that loves the rain and a soul that leans to the moon spreading the same light on a dark day. A solid storyteller who only speaks the language of love and types tales  of kindness into who knows how many minds... Apologies and arigatos for your willingness to be McQueen  when my dramatic self goes on a Mater track or to be Kageyama when my inner Hinata acts up. May every flower dance with you while you make sakuras bloom for me and I sing these lines.

Cocoon

Micro poetry  I envy my future self that will rise  from the ashes  of a past torched by  the spark  of vindication I ignited inside me. As of now,  I am content being in this cocoon  of grey, black  and white that I created for me. Both of which keeps me away from my present self that befriends lies and contempt to survive.
