Are you a guy or girl?

scribbled on by parents,

scrawled upon by teachers,

painted on by colleagues,

and accented by friends.

Love her In a thousand, Tiny, Unsaid ways.

DY // because she does the same for you

The flowers won't look for your approval to bloom,  and neither will I.

DY // a haiku // to bloom, or not to bloom, that is the question

I hope you're happier now, too.

A Letter to You

This is addressed to those who are my old and new friends/followers on Tumblr:

~~~~~~~~

Hello,

It’s been a while, I know. Almost three months, to boot. The last time I took a hiatus, it was because of an injury... and now, it’s somewhat of another injury. The motivation to write simply disappeared, as I noticed my writing was slowly degenerating into an endless cycle of repeating emotions that have been sucked dry ages ago. I honestly don’t think I’ve written a good poem since “Old Photographs” back in February, but it took me a while to realize that. So, I took time to reflect and discover a narrative I really wanted to tell through my poems.

Despite that, I still have to apologize for taking such an abrupt leave, as I can imagine I’ve caused some of you to worry on my behalf. For those who did: thank you. I don’t plan on taking such a long hiatus anytime soon, so I hope that is reassuring.

I have found a narrative I’d like to tell through my writing, so I’ll slowly be posting them as I figure out the exact words I’d like to put together. Please do message me your feedback, as I’ll be venturing into new grounds with my writing. I would really appreciate it. Do expect a pair of pieces to come out quite soon, and they will be tagged with a specific collection name (I won’t spoil it now, but you’ll find out soon).

If you’ve read this entire letter, thank you for your attention and time. I look forward to interacting with y’all more in the coming days. Feel free to shoot me any messages if you want to say hello haha.

Signing off,

Dylan Yu (aka “Double You” / “DY”)
