Word of the Day: 神経痛
I feel I am going a little crazy since. I had that whole idea that I needed sex at least 3 times a week. I thought it might help my mental health but, I think I sort of down played the mental play that is required to even maneuver a FwB situation. I might have already overbooked myself. I have the tattoo artist hitting me up, and the sex god isn't answering me so I don't even know if he'll ever visit me again, then I made some random plans with this hot Kazahk guy to come down here from Canada.

A Choice I Never Thought I’d Have to Make
A Choice I Never Thought I’d Have to Make BY: Khan I always believed life moved in a straight line. You study, you work, you earn, you build something that feels like stability. That’s what I thought adulthood was. But life has a strange way of revealing its real syllabus only when you least expect it. My real lesson came the day I had to make a choice I never imagined would be placed in my hands. It started on an ordinary Tuesday morning. The city was already awake—honking buses, vendors lifting shutters, motorbikes weaving through traffic. I was sipping my coffee by the office window when my phone buzzed. The number flashing on the screen stopped my heartbeat for a second. It was the hospital. My mother had been admitted. I rushed out immediately. For the entire drive, my mind replayed the same fear: Please, let her be okay. My father had passed away years ago, and it had always been just the two of us. She was the strongest person I knew—she had survived grief, loneliness, sleepless nights working double shifts, and raising me with more love than money. She didn’t deserve more pain. When I reached the hospital, the smell of antiseptic and the cold quietness of the hallway made my stomach twist. A doctor approached me with a file in her hand, her expression calm but serious. “She needs immediate surgery,” she said. “But there is a complication.” My heart sank. Complication meant cost—something I was already struggling with. My salary barely covered rent and bills. I had savings, but they were small. Still, I told myself I would do anything for her. Then came the part that shattered me. “She is stable for now,” the doctor continued, “but another patient in critical condition needs the same specialist. Only one surgery can be performed today.” It felt like the world tilted. “So… you’re asking me to choose?” The doctor nodded slowly. “Both patients need the operation urgently. Your mother is older, but her chances of recovery are good. The other patient is a young boy… only eight years old.” A boy. Someone’s son. Someone’s whole world. My legs went weak. I sat down on the bench, feeling like all the air had left the room. How could I possibly choose between my mother and a child? This wasn’t a decision any human being should have to make. I walked into the ward where my mother was resting. Her eyes opened when she heard my footsteps. Even lying there, pale and exhausted, she gave me the same warm smile that had comforted me my whole life. “What did the doctor say?” she asked softly. I told her everything. I didn’t hide anything—I couldn’t. She listened quietly, and then she reached for my hand. “My child,” she whispered, “if the boy needs it more… let them save him.” “No!” I shook my head fiercely. “I’m not losing you too. Not like this.” She squeezed my hand, her grip weak but full of meaning. “I have lived my life,” she said. “But that boy… his life is just beginning. We don’t get to choose the tests life gives us. We only choose how we respond.” Her words cut through me like a blade. I felt anger, helplessness, love, and heartbreak mixing inside me. Part of me wanted to fight for her with everything I had. Another part of me felt a painful pull toward the innocent child whose future depended on my decision. I stepped outside again, leaning against the cold wall. Every scenario ran through my mind. If I chose my mother, I saved the person I loved most. But if I chose the boy, I saved a life that hadn’t even started yet. What kind of person would that make me? What kind of son would I be? What kind of human? Time was running out. The doctor approached again. “We need an answer.” I closed my eyes. My mother’s voice echoed in my heart: We only choose how we respond. With trembling hands, I nodded. “Save the boy.” The words felt like they ripped something out of me. The doctor touched my shoulder gently and rushed away. I slumped into the chair, feeling hollow. When I returned to my mother’s room, she smiled proudly, even though tears glistened in her eyes. “You made the right choice,” she whispered. “I made the hardest choice,” I whispered back. She pulled me close, brushing my hair like she used to when I was a child. “Hard choices shape us. Easy ones teach us nothing.” The hours that followed felt endless. Every beep, every footstep in the hallway tightened the knot in my chest. Finally, the doctor returned. “The boy is safe,” she said with relief. “And… your mother will be scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning.” I stared at her, stunned. “Tomorrow? But you said—” “We managed to get another specialist to return early from leave,” she explained. “Your mother will still get her chance.” My knees almost buckled. I rushed to tell my mom, and when I did, she simply smiled and said, “See? When you do the right thing, the world finds a way to meet you halfway.” The next day, her surgery was successful. She recovered slowly but beautifully. And I realized then that sometimes life tests you not to break you, but to reveal the strength you didn’t know you had. That day changed me forever. I learned that true courage isn’t about fighting for what you want—it’s about choosing what’s right, even when it hurts you most. It was a choice I never thought I’d have to make… and one I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

Word of the Day: 立場. Top Story - November 2025.
I.. started talking about that guy in the tarot card discord. I am.. well I don't feel ashamed but I need to actually figure out if this is any good to continue to do, and if I am thinking about it, deep down I know it isn't.

Word of the Day: 台数
I sort of crashed out last night and woke up at 5 am today. I still have my clothes on and everything. Luckily this is what I wanted to wear today since I still have that hickey, I am sure. I don't know why but I find it endearing. He was so gentle and tender with me with everything else, this sort of little act of "violence" sort of showed a deeper intention.

Word of the Day: 不倫
I think that the Ezra Miller guy... might not be a good choice. He has an ex wife he works with and a son with her. I feel like he actually is married. I... don't want to enter into something under those circumstances. I would never openly go after a taken man. Never. If I ever knew I was in an extra-marital affair, I'd end it immediately.

You can’t please everyone
By all means when you try to be at peace with everyone and do everything right, you soon realize that you can’t please everyone and its just an impossible task. The main reason being that people have different understanding of the world, when you find yourself in the middle trying to appeal to everybody, you almost always become a hypocrite because you have to change your positions based on the person in front of you. On one end you have people who expect you to move a certain way, and on the other end you have another set of people who expect you to move a certain way, this ultimately leads you to have to make a choice and since you try to appeal to everybody, you find yourself switching your opinions one way or the other.

Word of the Day: 交換
I don't really have time to spend the rest of the day recovering emotionally over being stood up. I mean, my body is sort of all fatigued now. I think being so excited for the Ezra guy, my body forgot to give me... ah no, I guess I was fatiqued when talking to him. It was part of the reason I took so many breaks in cleaning. I guess I just didn't notice it because I was so excited to prepare for guests. But, now that I don't have anything to look forward to now, I am just feeling the fatigue with nothing to ease the pain of it.
