Best Memory or Worst Mistake
I had a best friend at 17. She was that one person in my whole life that I was closer to than my own family members. We'd sit together at lunch and text each other about nothing until one of us fell asleep in the middle of a conversation. And the times when she'd laugh at something absolutely ridiculous I'd just said, I would feel like I won something. I never felt like I needed a girlfriend, really. She was taking up that space in my life, and I felt like something good would come out of it.

He Didn't Stop Cutting
I. Before the Incision In July 2026, Kyoto University Hospital admitted a woman in her early fifties. She had a benign meningioma near the cerebellum. Her symptoms were mild: occasional dizziness, a slight unsteadiness when walking. She lived independently.

Dear Friend. Top Story - August 2026.
Dear Friend, I know that I can be testing sometimes, and I know I get too stressed out at times. Like you, I have my problems; after all, I am only human. However, I thought you understood, and my questions were only to protect my heart, dignity, and soul. Sometimes, we have to ask those uncomfortable questions, even if they cause awkward moments.

I Am The Laziest Vocal Creator. Content Warning.
Introduction Every piece I write that is less than six hundred words makes me feel that I am the laziest of all Vocal Creators. The music is "Lazyitis" by The Happy Mondays. Appropriate? I think so.

She Gave Me a UNO Reverse Card. Then My Brother Got Down on One Knee.
I was still laughing when my sister handed me the card. I was laughing because of everything that had happened over the past three months: my younger brother asking me to help plan his proposal, me saying yes without a second thought, the two of us crouched on the balcony making countless whispered phone calls, arranging every detail—the location, the lighting, the music, the exact arrival time of every family member and friend. I had even slipped the ring box into the hidden pocket of his backpack myself, patting it and saying, “Don’t be nervous. Your sister has great taste.”

Our Time
Introduction I had an issue with PayPal recently, they decided it would take ten days to credit my PayPal account despite the money leaving my bank account after a few days. While I was slightly annoyed, I knew there was nothing wrong, and after a couple of emails, I decided to just wait and not waste my time.

I wish I could go out. Top Story - July 2026.
I want to have a life. I'm not saying that I'm not alive or living, but my life lacks a certain purpose. For years, everything has been the same; get up, go to work or school, go home, eat then sleep. It's a routine I'm used to-- and a difficult one to break. When I am able, I use whatever free time I have to be unproductive. Not just in the working sense; but in the life sense. I don't spend time with friends or family. I rarely have the motivation to do anything creative and gaming sometimes can feel like a chore. I spend my time curled up in bed or on the couch mindlessly watching whatever until the time for the next part of my day comes along.
