Esprit Murmurant #8

If time ever erases us,

I vow to leave fingerprints in the stars,

so the cosmos itself remembers:

I belonged to you-

before names, before fate,

before the world knew we existed.

The Pain of Discipline vs. The Regret of Quitting

-
 Every day, I feel the exhaustion creeping in, my body aching from the constant push, the never-ending battle between wanting to give up and knowing I’ll regret it if I do—because as much as working out drains me, tests my patience, and messes with my mental health, I can’t ignore the fact that I’m seeing changes, proof that my effort isn’t wasted, that I’m slowly becoming the version of myself I’ve always wanted to be, and even though discipline is the only thing keeping me on track, it’s also the very thing that makes this whole process a pain in the ass, forcing me to push through the days I’d rather quit, because at the end of it all, what other choice do I have if I really want to grow?

Death is inevitable.

And what is worse we are so entangled in the minutiae of daily life that we forget: we are temporary. In the middle of conversation, in the middle of a sip of coffee, in the middle of existing  the machinery can stop. Without warning. Perhaps even now. Time does not wai...

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, ...
