[betweenthedevilandthedeepsea]

The rarest souls are not the ones who burn the brightest, but the ones who glow quietly, without asking the world to look.

They carry tenderness like a secret language, they notice the poetry in ordinary hours, they love in a way that does not clamor, but lingers.

In a world that often mistakes noise for depth, remember this: gentleness is its own kind of strength.

And if you are one of those souls -

You are not overlooked, you are extraordinary.

[soratatakano]

I hope one day the pictures of your soul I carved into my heart

will visit you in sleep and whisper as if they were yours,

because you never believed me when I said:

You are enough.

Still bleeding, still alive... but for how long?

In her heart, she holds a vision; in her soul, she finds the courage. Through this union, success weaves its beautiful tapestry.

Progress

Progress Real progress is not linear It requires commitment It requires understanding It requires support But above all It requires strength

And not the brute sort of strength either It's an acquired skill It's gentle It's more of self-love It's resilience

Progress Real progress Requires silence But it begs for noise You may need moments of solitude And yet your body will want crowds

Don't fear progress Fear stagnation Progress will take you somewhere While unknown It's better than this solitary pit Is it not? - December 10th, 2025

ars poetica

I didn’t exist until I took a pen.

I didn’t feel until I wrote it down.

My world fell and came true.

On the ground, between the dirt and the mud.

I watch dandelions fight

and clouds laugh.

Once on my feet again,

I searched for words.

They were kind, and they hungered for more.

But the stars in my eyes

wouldn’t reach the gutter where I stood.

I might have sabotaged myself,

or perhaps I just had more hope, more naïveté.

Odes make the shit glow.

Odd, how I never fully felt at home.

Nevertheless, and never more—

If it were true,

me, the master manipulator and swift narrator,

got broken-hearted for the sake of craft,

Shouldn’t it be easier to write it down?

If I don’t, what was the point?

of falling for a lover

who wasn’t that kind?

The pen might have saved me from madness,

dodging more than this one.

If I didn’t love the pen,

Would I take it all down?

Did it hurt, or did it cure?

If nothing else is true,

I would die protecting what saved my life.

And for him?

I wouldn’t cross the road on a green light.

words hurt.

And the more I try to martyr my intended victim,

the more I remember—

he needed to say it,

and then take it back.

I'm back at the pen,

and he is back at badmouthing his life.

Starting a New Book

Today, I’m starting

"Sherlock Holmes und sein erster Fall"

— a borrowed copy from a good friend.

There’s something special about reading a book that has already passed through someone else’s hands, carrying a bit of shared trust and recommendation with it.

I’m curious where this story will take me and what clues, thoughts, or quiet moments it will leave behind.

A new book, a new beginning.

Yours,

A year written in books

The Dream That Breaks Us

We build dreams brick by brick—

only to realize they were never ours.

Arthur Miller wrote what we were afraid to admit—

success can be hollow.

and silence can be louder than failure.
