The Shim Dream

My name is Shim. I write stuff.

To live is to be met with a lifetime of conflict.

[shimlikesyou]

I thought I liked chaos for the sheer entertainment. But then I found out that peace lies beyond it. Encountering chaos brought out the demons we were hiding. And now we face them.

[shimlikesyou]

Don’t you ever get bored and wish for the absurd as if nothing else matters knowing your desires are unheard

It’s like a sudden release a shout for relief and in an instant you breathe you tell the world your grief

What times to be alive in where therapy is within reach yet my joy lies dormant beyond the words I preach

[shimlikesyou]

Kindness does not always beget kindness I have learnt this a little too late How naive I was to believe such a thing That I end up on the devil’s plate.

One day, I’ll do the same.

[shimlikesyou]

You wander and you wonder yet you’re bored all the same it’s do or die daily but you won’t hold the frame

the world keeps a changing your philosophy goes deep in the end you’re still asking when’s a good night’s sleep

farther and further to where all will arrive in a drunken epiphany find the will to survive

ひとりでなりたかった。ひとりでなった。悲しいだ。つまらないだ。

I’m drunk. Help me.

A long time ago, I met a friend who lives quite far away Despite the dark, brooding me he’s always there to brighten the day

That’s the kind he is, old and wise bringing smiles and hopeful greets By any means, it was no surprise the love passed never depletes

One thing we shared was a fascination for the angelic and all things divine On rare nights of moons by fate or chance our thoughts of poetry would combine

For all that he is, I thank the stars, I thank whoever made his soul Despite his own two wings be torn, the light he shines has a greater role

I’m happy to see you guys too. I’ve been in and out of Tumblr but I haven’t gotten to droppin’ hearts on my friends ‘cause well... I’m still lost in life. Nothing new really. But hey, I missed you, this, everything. 

PS. It’s 6am and I just got home from my friend’s house after playing Splendor and making some badass ramen. The only thing keeping me awake is blueberry coffee and Tumblr porn.

I need to be the better me the bad one just won’t do I tend to make the same mistake a habit of disappointing you

[kiss-the-ocean]

実は。

あなたに好きでいて欲しくて いろいろねだるわたしだけど そんなのどうでもいいみたい

ほんとは あなたの声が聞けて あなたの顔が見れて あなたの隣にいれて

それだけでいいんだ たとえば あなたの特別じゃなくても たぶんしあわせなんだよ わたし

つまるところ そのくらい あなたが好きってことなんだけど 伝わってる？

I wrote haiku in class a week ago. First time writing haiku in hiragana. In translation:

Dekirudake (As much as possible) Akiramenaide (Don’t give up) Shinjite yo (Believe) Naraitai (I want to learn) Jouzu naritai (to become great) Ganbarou (Let’s do our best)

As recommended by my teacher, I’ve started a Nihongo blog. Since I don’t really know what to post especially with my limited use of the language, I’m just gonna make it a diary. And maybe post original photos from the few times I’ve traveled.

Well, I’ll be moving over now.
