the thing with ‘human metamorphosis’ is - it isn’t cinematic. no loud opening music or wind blowing in your hair while you’re walking nonchalant on the streets. it’s actually something very random and you don’t even realise it happening till it’s almost through. i don’t care if metamorphosis isn’t aesthetic for me. i glitch, i upgrade, sometimes become a beta version of myself, un-installing and r...

bad timings are when you cross paths with someone who feels emotionally comforting or physically your type and both of you just click like your nervous system recognizes them even before your brain catches up. and then you find yourself sitting right beside them with a metaphorical bouquet in your hands but your life is a mess or their life is a mess, or both of you are mid-construction with emoti...

there’s a bird, as small as my palm and it always visits the cable in front of my window like a ritual. nobody could tell it had monsters inside its head, but i did because i noticed it a little longer than necessary. they were not the scary kind, definitely not visible from the outside. and is it so wrong of me to assume that something is wrong with this bird, because at this point i am just pers...

welcome to thepaperbeings, where everything is real, but not everything real has to make sense every time. this is a space for thoughts that arrive unfinished, feelings without footnotes, emotions we’re still learning how to name, and the beauty of not having answers yet. come along with me on this journey, where we don’t rush clarity and we let the feelings arrive as they are.
