Chapter 54: October Whispers

-

Silent Promises

Some dates are soft echoes we carry without knowing why.

Four years. Four autumns. Four quiet seasons since a day that now feels quietly sacred.

The sugarrushhh feeling is still intact, and I hope that it stays for a long time.

Some things are not measured in time, but in the way they quietly root themselves into who we are.

This day is a reminder — of growth, of laughter, of weathering storms. Of holding onto something without needing to name it. Of finding peace in the simple act of choosing to stay.

The years pass, but some moments remain untouched by time. October 10 is one of them.

Here’s to the journey, in all its quiet strength.


October 10 — a soft echo I carry with me, without need for words.

Chapter 7: Too Much Hate and Anger

Will it ever be enough? I was bawling my eyes out yesterday after keeping it for so long. If you don't know me yet, I will keep everything, bottling it up until it decides to burst one day. Yes, I'm that kind of person. I will take in every word you have ever said and endure it for a very very long time. It's in my nature that I have no one to share it with, and regretting the moment I choose to share it with someone. I should've tolerated it and had more patience but I failed. I was so sick, with all the combos; you name it. That's when I realised I was triggered by a word.  I am always never good enough in the eyes of my family members. All that they have seen is only my flaws, the negativity. I don't even have the respect of making my own decision, even though it took me a while to decide. I don't have a say.  My holidays planned for storm were not a "WOW" factor type of country. I have to inform them that I've planned for school holidays bl...

Chapter 14: Blessed and Surprised!

Dreams do come true. Deep breaths! Now, where do I start?  I was feeling down due to my injury, unable to play bola for the next 2 weeks due to a contusion and concussion. Serve me right for playing back-to-back and getting kicked on my left and right cheek/jaw/head. Little did I expect a surprise.  I received a friend request from an unexpected person! I was ecstatic but wondered if it might be an accidental request. But mostly, I was shocked. And of course, happy. 21.07.2025 is the date to remember. I mustered up the courage to send a message. I was in a "fangirling" mode. But of course, I kept my cool. My ig stories were seen and I felt noticed. On day 2, I decided to ask if the friend request was an accident. I was trying not to put my hopes high if the reply could dampen me. Instead, I was caught by surprise again. It's because she wanted to figure out who I am. And because apparently she read my blog. SHE READ MY BLOG? Am I lucky or what? Okay, at this point, my pun...

Chapter 10: The Smile That Changed Everything

A lunatic's lament. My heart is in turmoil. It holds a secret, a treasure I guard fiercely, a love that only I can feel. The words I want to whisper are lost in the silence of my own heart, a love I can't express. I could never marry you, so I buried you instead. And made sure no one gets you. I'm selfish and relentless about what's happening, but I can't seem to control my emotions. A sudden obsession seizes my soul. No poisonous kiss, but enough to make me a lunatic. I would take a walk together and count the stars that disappear. It almost felt like desperation. Feelings are mutual, but unable to reciprocate, hence it became complicated. Could this lead to a tragic ending? I pondered. May the current obsession fade away. The heart is not strong enough for another fall. Why must things be so complicated? Why do we have to cross paths at the wrong time? Why is a stone heart able to get swayed, to have feelings again? So many questions yet when we put it to faith, e...
