My Favorite Poem

-





You don't know it,

but sometimes I go to a hill 

that overlooks the landscape of city lights.

For a sip of momentary grace

on this brink of everything I know

I can gain

an eyeful of the last Atlanta

in the human soul

and a breath that fills up my lungs between the stars.

If right now 

you were to capture this elation 

in the framework of your mind

or find transcendence through these wors

then at most you would know nothing

of the beauty your existence throws to me

for mine is a love no experience 

not thought, no measure, no words 

could ever degrade into reality by virtue degree

Letting Go of My Religion: My Journey from Catholicism to Truth

-
Why I Stopped Following God. I was born into a Catholic family, where faith was not just a belief system but a way of life. From an early age, I was taught to pray, to attend church, to believe in God without question. It was all I knew. Sunday mornings were reserved for mass, religious holidays were celebrated with devotion, and any doubts about faith were quickly dismissed with the reminder that God had a plan. For years, I followed along, never thinking to challenge what I was told. But deep down, something always felt off. I couldn’t put it into words as a child, but there was a lingering feeling that something wasn’t quite right, something that didn’t make sense to me, even when I tried my best to believe. As I grew older, I started asking questions. Why did this religion exist in the first place? Why was I supposed to follow it just because my family did? What made Christianity the "one true faith" when there were so many other religions in the world? I wanted answers, ...

About Me!

   Hey there! I’m Jayson, but you can call me Jay. I’m a 20-year-old Filipino born and raised in Hawai‘i, currently working hard and saving up for my future goals (because adulting is expensive). A few fun facts about me—I have two amazing dogs, Apple and Chico, I’m a die-hard Spider-Man fan, and mangoes are my ultimate weakness. I also have over 20 tattoos and, let’s be honest, probably won’t stop anytime soon. When I’m not working or adding to my ink collection, you’ll find me enjoying a Diet Coke or tea like it’s a personality trait. I started this blog mostly out of boredom, just to share my thoughts and whatever random things pop into my head. I don’t expect it to go viral or anything—think of it as my digital journal (because let’s be real, handwriting isn’t my strong suit). But if you made it this far, thanks for reading! Hope you stick around for the chaos.                                ...

First Job

     Basically, what the title says, I actually applied for two jobs and got hired on both. I got hired in Jack in The Box and this pie bakery store. I have no experience in working so both of those jobs are basically my first experience of work. My first day was on Thursday for both, I went to Jack in the box first then the bakery store. I didn't really do anything for JITB, only online training but for my second job, it was hell. I had to do a lot of work cleaning and my back was hurting, I was also very tired because I had only 2 hours of sleep the night before so that day was fucking tiring but you know it was only my first day and again I have no job experience. I also have no car and can't drive so I took the bus and on the bus home, I cried cause of how hard it was, yes complain all you want to me because I am kind of a lazy person. However, my mum was right about how work is hard and it's an endless repeat for money but I'm just doing this for about 5-6 months b...
