âIn Vietnamese, the word for missing someone and remembering them is the same: nhá». Sometimes, when you ask me over the phone, CĂł nhá» meÌŁ khĂŽng? I flinch, thinking you meant, Do you remember me?
I miss you more than I remember you.â

Thinkin about Francescaâs backyard and how the trees would dance around our morning coffee and smoke and she would close her eyes. She was so beautiful man and I miss her like hell
Feeling like I got a big broken heart and i donât got it in me to carry it around today
And the air being gentle and warm like itâs been reminds me of driving to his house with the windows all down, that perfect blue pouring in . How he would run out to my car and pull me out of my seat.
do you guys remember that meme of the kid screaming crying and going EMMA I FUCKING MISS YKU SO MUCH lollll im feeling that kid today that guy knew what the fuck was up. No matter how much time passes I canât shake the feeling . I know it was a privilege to love these people at all and I have much gratitude to whatever merciless yet loving being we got overseeing business up there but it does terrify me to think that the people I felt the most seen by and felt safest with can just come go .

most days itâs fine but then I listen to âbetween the barsâ by Elliot Smith and it takes me back to last year when I still had them. Even when my heart yearns for the familiarity of our old bond I know weâll never laugh like we used to do. What a pity is to be a human and to know someone for so long and then be strangers.

Sometimes it just pops out of nowhere, sometimes itâs just a passing memory and sometimes out of the blue I feel the weight of what happened. I had a best friend, a person with which I connected in a way I never did with anyone. She moved out of the city and with that she stopped any communication with me. I miss her. I miss her so much. I feel like I must have fucked up big time for this to be happening. In our last call I told her I was worried we would lose contact with the distance and she told me it would never happen. I believed her. Itâs a weird sadness; most of the time I can see clearly that more than try to text her I cannot do much and Iâm angry or confused about the situation but it passes, I go by my day. But sometimes this wave of sadness arrives and I remember how she made me laugh, how she looked at me, the day we actually talked like friends for the first time and then it hits me that we might have spoken for the last time. how could that be? I still believe her. One day sheâll call me and my memories of today will fade and get replaced by others of us together.
I should have called her more, told her more times how I loved her, how she was beautiful, we should have gone to more concerts together, we should have said yes to that dude who wanted to interview us for a tiktok. We should have when there still was a we.
One day talking about relationships, I mentioned how incapable I am at letting go and how sometimes I start to resent the person I canât let go for the things we do to each other. So maybe itâs all for the best, maybe Iâm being spared, maybe it will save our memories from being tainted, maybe thatâs all the time meant for us. I donât know but I wish I did.

I used to crash after work even i get off work relatively early (16:15) but I used to feel completely energy drained. I would feed and walk my dogs real quick, lay down, order dinner, root, sleep, repeat... I am from a small town in the seaside but I live in a huge city (Shanghai) for work and there are to beaches. I recently moved close to a river and also very close to my workplace. I have been following this routine: get off work, feed my dogs, take a 10 min break and do nothing other than petting my dogs (no screens, no musics, no podcasts, nothing at all, just cuddles) and then take my dogs to the river and walk for one and a half hours.
It has been life changing, I feel way more energized now, I get back home from the doggie walk and still feel like moving around the house, cooking, dealing with chores, dancing, you name it. I take way better care of myself now. Eat healthier, make sure I take my vitamins, and also sleep million time better. Small but super effective change :)
