Loud, lost and full of love

 Hear me out. No matter how messy the world gets,no matter how many disasters, heartbreaks, or broken phone screens we go through love and kindness always find a way. Like that random weed growing out of a sidewalk crack. Uninvited, lowkey annoying, but kind of inspiring.


There’s this one story that lives rent-free in my brain. An old woman lost her dog during a tornado. Whole place was torn apart. She’s standing in front of her destroyed house, talking to a news reporter, heartbroken and out of nowhere, her dog just walks out of the rubble. All casual. Like, “Hey, I just did a boss fight with Mother Nature. Got snacks?” And the woman just breaks down crying, hugging her dog, and honestly? Same. I would’ve cried too. I probably did cry. (We don’t talk about that.)


And that, my friend, is why I believe in love. Even if the world is falling apart like a cheap plastic chair, there’s always some random, heartwarming thing that reminds you, humans can still be decent.


Now, let’s talk about me for a sec. I’m not exactly calm. Think of a clumsy capybara with Wi-Fi. I trip over flat surfaces, I talk too loud, I laugh at the wrong moments, and I’m always in a dramatic headspace like I’m the main character in a music video during a thunderstorm. I also have this weird habit of randomly hitting or bullying people not in a mean way, more like I just bop them for no reason. Like, I'll be walking by and just give you a little tap or shout something sarcastic because it’s funny to me (don’t worry, I swear it's all love). It’s chaotic, it’s unnecessary, but it’s just how I roll. And somehow, I still believe in people. I believe in second chances. I believe in helping someone even if your own life’s a mess. That’s what makes life kind of beautiful, right?


People say being soft is weak. Nah. You know what’s actually weak? Acting like nothing matters. Pretending not to care just to seem cool. But caring? Loving even when you're tired? Being kind in a world that tells you to toughen up? That’s real strength. That’s superhero stuff right there.


Life is chaos. There’s war. There’s climate change. There’s your phone dying at 2% when you need to send that last meme. But even in the middle of all this mess, we still find ways to love. We still rescue dogs. We still check on our friends. We still cry at videos of babies laughing. That’s the magic.


And maybe that’s the whole point. Maybe we’re not meant to be perfect or chill all the time. Maybe we’re meant to be messy and loud and soft and strong all at once. A mix of yelling and hugging and tripping and helping someone get back up.


So yeah, I’m chaotic. I’m loud. I yell a lot but I’d also give you my last piece of gum, hold your hand through the storm, and help you look for your dog.


Because even if I am a walking disaster… I’m the kind that still believes in love.


Always.

PROLOGUE: The Great Blur — A Symphony of Silent Thought

 Ever been so far inside your head that the world outside starts to fade like a half-erased chalkboard? Not your typical “oops, zoned out in class” kind of thing. No. I mean completely gone. Like someone slowly turned the volume of life down to zero and all that’s left is the echo of your own thoughts. And even they don’t feel like yours anymore. They feel smarter. Wiser. Too heavy to have come from you. Almost like your brain borrowed them from a library that only opens when your soul’s on fire. It starts small. A blink too long. A breath too deep. You’re staring at a wall, but it’s no longer a wall. It’s a movie screen for your mind to project the chaos it’s been hiding. Your eyes are open, but they’ve stopped seeing. People are talking. Life is moving. But you? You’re stuck in a thought that doesn’t have edges. It goes on and on. And you fall into it like Alice, except there’s no Wonderland. Just the truth. And the truth is… terrifyingly beautiful. Because in that moment, you’re...

EPILOGUE:The Great Blur — The Echo You Left Behind

 Years have passed. The blur doesn’t visit you the way it used to,not because it left, but because it stayed. It became part of your gravity. Your gaze. Your way of listening like silence is sacred, like every word is a ripple in a pond you now know how to see through. You don’t talk about it much. Not directly. You don’t need to. It’s in your presence. The way you move slower, not because you're tired, but because you’re tuned. The way you answer questions with more space than sound. The way you notice,really notice,people. Like they’re poems unfolding. And one day, someone else sees it. They’re younger, maybe. Or maybe not. Age doesn't matter in the blur. What matters is the look in their eyes ,the before. The restlessness. The too-loud mind. The ache they can’t name. They're where you once were: on the edge of unraveling, right before the fall. You don’t tell them what’s coming. That’s not how this works. You just leave a door cracked open. A pause in a sentence. A quest...

The Rebels We Were, The Parents We Fear Becoming

 We used to think being reckless was a personality trait. Back in high school, we believed chaos was cool like it gave us some kind of social currency. The louder you were, the more you mattered. The more rules you broke, the more alive you felt. And bullying? It wasn’t always blatant it was in the way we laughed a little too hard when someone tripped, or in the way we played along when a friend turned someone else into a punchline. We called it “just jokes,” but deep down, we knew. And let’s not forget the ultimate flex,the boyfriend or girlfriend you’d casually parade around campus. It wasn’t about love or connection, it was about status. Having someone to hold hands with in the hallways, to whisper jokes to in between classes, was like wearing a badge of honor. You weren’t just in a relationship; you were in a competition. Look at me, I’m desired, I’ve got my person, and isn’t that cute? We’d trade notes like we were trading stock options “Oh, I’m with Jamie now. He’s got that m...
