Silence gave birth to the words that I write
A writing journey
I believe in living life on my own terms. Except the society that I live in is not. I found love to be quite simple, while people made it quite complex because of the rules, traditions, and customs. I am not atheist, but I only believe in what feels right and what feels wrong. I believe intensions matter more then the results or outcomes. I try to keep peace with all I meet but sometime I could not control giving back the fire to some people.

Love of my life
Call me pretty, and I will smile.
Call me beautiful, and I’ll listen for a while.
But whisper that I am strong
so I know I am loved where I belong.
Call me resilient, and spark my drive;
tell me I’m extraordinary, so I feel alive.
Praise not just the face that grace has given,
but the soul I built, the life I’ve striven.
For I am the mirror to seven lights,
the quiet voice in their loudest nights.
To Namjoon, I am the pillar and the spark,
his greatest strength through the deepest dark.
To Jin, I am the moon in the evening sky,
the gentle reason his melodies fly.
To Yoongi, I am the rhythm, the steady beat,
the blood in his veins, where heart and family meet.
To Hoseok, I am the hope he holds so near,
the trusted companion through every year.
To Jimin, a precious treasure to keep,
the softest smile before he goes to sleep.
To Taehyung, the rarest flower in bloom,
a lifelong friend in a crowded room.
And to Jungkook, the breath that keeps him whole
Apobangpo, the forever bound to his soul.
So call me what I’ve fought to be,
and let me hear their love in me.
