04. I'm sick of falling in love

As she interrupts my sight,

I beam as if it were the peak of my life.

I got lost in her hypnotising scent and silky hair,

While I searched for a place in her life.


A bump between skins sent my mind on red alert,

But I wished hopelessly for more.

Every conversation felt like birthdays,

Exciting events separated forevermore.

I wonder if she will ever requite my hopeless devotion,

Or if I was damned to be stuck in secret admiration.


I foolishly long for the sight of her,

That even a glimpse would suffice.

I am sick of being stuck in the cycle of forlorn love,

Which ends the same way every single time.

It is as if I were Sisyphus on the mountain,

Pushing my boulder of lovesick passion.

06. A submitted essay on Happiness and Suffering

 I submitted this essay for a module in the fall of 2024. “ Suffering and pain are the natural state for human beings.

I would show why I disagree with the premise and propose that the delicate balance between happiness and suffering should be thought of as our natural state. I agree that humans live in a cruel existence, we are bo...

07. Ideas, thoughts and behaviours that set my foundation in 2026

  I would like to preface this rather short list with a thought. A few days ago, it occured to me that it is rather hard to come up with a novel thought in the 21st century. A thought that came through your mind while in a shower is rarely novel. Philosophers centuries before have probably written extensively or delivered a lecture on every possible idea that affects the human condition and the universe. I think that my personality, beliefs and opinions are in some sort of an almagation of all the conversations I've had with people, the books and essays I've read, the films I've watched and the music I've listened to. Even this idea that my individuality is a collection of everything I have consumed is an unoriginal thought. For example, Kamala Harris was infamously ridiculed for saying 'You think you just fell out of a coconut tree, you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.' A popular comment that frequently appears in videos o...
