౨ৎ meet ℳ
a sun kissed cinnamon bun personified — she is the smile that blossoms between warm cheeks during the burn of a sunrise ≈
in this dr i don’t change my name, and for that reason i’ll stick to the first letter (just like my pinned post) which is ℳ.
i’m nothing more than a normal girl, waking up each day already tired but willing myself to either go to uni or work, staying up late to catch up on the hours i spend doing other things, i have a closet full of clothes and yet i have nothing to wear, i have three of the same shades of lip gloss but they’re all from different brands so ofcs they’re not the same, i just bought a new journal but i’m yet to finish the one i got four years ago, i have ink stains on the tips of my fingers and chai stains on the pages edge of the novel i’m currently reading.
i just take every day like a new pot of tea leaves, waiting to be steeped to perfection.

౨ৎ the metamorphosis
with frayed edges and tear stained cheeks, she undid the binds of a life once lived, a life once loved, finding the holes to be too much to bear in the everlasting winter of the cold reality that was thrust upon her, opting to take the needle and thread between her own fingers and stitch up the seams, to reinforce the realm of her existence into one that can hold her hand rather than hold her down
quite often i approach the concept of reinvention with a quivering hand, unable to part ways from the comfort — or perhaps the codependency — of that familiarity.
but eventually i took a step back and realised, there is no shame in finding freedom in what already feels right . after all, our souls are not dependant on this realm or this body, our consciousness is an ever expanding universe on its own, and our power to wield it is something that we have grown to understand and control in a way that allows us to live the lives we truly desire.. that’s all that this dr represents for me.
a life that i truly desire.
i’m not that different here, i have the same name, the same birthday, the same family. but it would be a lie to say everything stays the same.
i do admit to changing my appearance a bit, i’m nothing if not a perfectionist and whilst i do think my features have potential, i actually reach said potential in this reality. my upbringing has been revitalised to be something that enriched me rather than keeping me sheltered. my parental unit is less overbearing and more understanding, my brother is less of a jerk and more of a friend, my family relationships are less immature and more genuine.
i revise my failures in education, i revise my anxieties around success and the fear of that success being unreachable, i revise my health, my athleticism, my willpower and the general energy i have throughout the day to achieve everything that i wish to accomplish, everything that i could not bring myself to take a step towards in my previous reality.
my passions aren’t shamed here, they are encouraged. not just with the wary caution of a simple hobby but rather as an actual proper lifestyle, a feasible choice to make for a career, a skill that is supported as something from which i can make a name for myself.
and in this growth, in this metamorphosis, i find stability and comfort in not just my family but also my friends — people that i lost contact with, people that i drifted away from, people that i couldn’t bring myself to keep close because of the shame in my own progression or lack thereof — i’m not an aspect of shame, i never was, i know what i deserve and what i’m capable of and in this reality, i am all those things.
that’s why this is home, even after i break out of the cocoon and open my eyes in a world that’s familiar, it will also be different, because i’ll be different — no longer experiencing the slow sluggish state of what once was, for i now have a marvellous symmetry of splendour that holds me high, the equilibrium of my reality, where the scales finally tipped in my favour, levelling out to be amiably sound, with every flap of a butterfly’s wing.

౨ৎ sugar heart cookies
it’s an inexplicable pull, an intangible tug on the heartstrings, a firm grip, a gentle ache, a deep longing. you can’t help but feel that there is something more out there for you, that there is someone more. someone that feels less like a piece and more like a whole person. someone who won’t complete you, but will help you complete yourself. two halves of a heart leaves you vulnerable when you’re apart, but when it’s two hearts beating alongside each other, the only thing left is to hold onto you
he sat beside me in his mother’s car. we were six (me) and eight (him). he sat in the drivers seat while his mother went inside the house to pick up a few things before taking the three of us (his little sister sat in the back) to a gathering of family friends.
his mother had bought us britannia little hearts. i can still remember the minuscule sugar crystals stuck to the tips of my small fingers while i dove inside the aluminium cover every few seconds to reach for the next tiny biscuit.
he asked me where i was that day — i’d stayed home from school because i felt unwell — when i told him, his first reaction was to nag me : “you know, if you’re sick, you shouldn’t be eating these. this is pure sugar.”
“yeah but i don’t want to listen to you!” — i was .. never really good at listening to people, especially not cute boys who were a little older than me.
he always seemed a bit uptight, but i guess i forgot how much he cared. because i can’t remember what happened two years later, during my last day in my old school. i remember crying, and i remember being comforted by people. but i guess i forgot that one of those people was him. i guess i forgot that he told me “it’ll be alright. i’m sure we’ll see each other again someday.”
it took us ten years but we got there.
this time, he was upstairs, in the house that was hosting a dinner among friends. i was distracted by my brother’s antics, one foot inside the threshold past the door and one foot on the pavement outside. with a flick of my head, my gaze turned up, up past the stairs in front of the door, up to the railing on the second level, a lookout point for the entrance.
he was leaning against the railing, blue button up shirt tucked into his black jeans, scrolling aimlessly on his phone, taking a quick glance to his side before doing a double take.
the silence felt like the calm before a pattering evening of rainfall, where you can feel the change in your future from the way the air seems electrified, from the way the clouds seems to churn around each other, like they’re brewing together, ready to erupt and explode into thunder, like the way you can hear your heartbeat in your ears.
he seemed familiar, he seemed important, he seemed to be everything i could ever ask for and i didn’t know why the sirens were singing in my skull but i knew in my gut he was meant to be important to me. i knew he was meant to be somebody.
it took me a second to look away, but that entire night, and every night that followed, and every day that came along with it, i can’t ever forget the sugar crystal glimmers of light in his eyes. and for every moment to come, i’ll hold the little heart biscuits of our love in the palm of my hands, because i’m not someone who listens to people very well, i don’t care if i’m not allowed, i want them . i want him.
don’t swallow the tea leaves ! for they leave you a message 🍂

Xie Lian (谢莲) 🪷 posting from my Mo Dao Zu Shi DR 🐉
I mini shifted last night and did quite a few things. I was in this very beautiful forest with fireflies, a stream and clear full moon so it wasn't too dark. It was probably around 10-11pm. I spent a good hour being outside training with my sword. I felt lowkey watched by someone, but couldn't pin point who..., but I have a feeling it was possibly Jiang, but I didn't bother to pin point him or warn the elders because I didn't think he was malicious at that moment (huge mistake). I probably should have told them...., but I was in my own world at that moment.
Thinking of so many things including where my father could be... as I truly have no idea and my mom isn't human so I was left to the moon lotus sect. under their care at a young age (9yrs old). The elders and my mentor etc does a good job of looking after me. Even with some of their bold ways not gonna say their name *cough* Mo Chen (墨辰). After my walk back I passed the archway not wanting to go inside quite yet. I just sat by the river enjoying the warm weather and bathing in the moonlight (not literally bathing).
It made me feel really rejuvenated I can understand being reckless having so much energy. The morning after I met my enemy by the road Jiang we talked about the baby sea serpent that I found injured. It had a odd unique aura almost human like (also it wasn't a conversation just me interrogating him,he was just there scheming up something. I just know it). My mother the adeptus of the moon confirmed it (it had a human fragment). I asked if he knew anything of it as the day before I found traces in the same town he attacked it was faint, but there (yea, we got nowhere as if he'll help his enemy). I also overheard talks of him planning to attack during the next conference of course i told my clan and mother this. Jiang just wouldn't budge from my interrogation, but I had to stop halfway through because he planted demonic essence in my cultivation garden trying to disturb the peace he said to my face "Have you found my present yet? I'd be surprised if you hadn't".. " It's a gift to you"... He isn't getting away with this though.. The moment I am done fixing what he caused I'm tracking him and that shady clan he's working with. They definitely know something about that soul fragment. It was done intentionally it's not a natural thing for a sea serpent to have a human soul attached to it. On second thought I shouldn't go along I'm not on a advanced level and last time I almost got caught up out of exhaustion fighting Jiang.
