A contemporary view of Kuching, Malaysia—

It wasn’t just the sunset we chased — it was everything in between. 🌄

Each cab ride doubled as a free tour: history, food recs, family stories, and even an impromptu pit stop at the gas station before a late-night 40-minute drive to the resort.

Kuching’s charm sneaks up on you — often in the form of a driver who talks like an old friend and swears by the best bowl of kolo mee in town. 🫡

A modern portrait of Jiangsu, China —
“人情味，是最温柔的风景” 🌾

In this quiet corner of the world, the loudest thing was laughter - no one warned me about how easily strangers became neighbours over sky-high portions, unsolicited packs of shared cigarettes, or how a single smile could get you invited to a stranger’s house/backyard tour. 👩🏻‍🌾

A modern postcard from Port Dickson, Malaysia—
“Takkan terikat waktu, bebaskan mimpimu di angkasa, selamanya”

I finally understood what Moana was getting at; I saw the line where the sky meets the sea and yes, tears were shed, deep and raw...🥹

The salt air, the endless blue, the quiet hike up Bukit Batu Putih, and the songs we sang along, have altered something in me completely. Time seemed to slow down, and in every moment, there was a profound stillness. A winding road that stretches on for miles, yet every stop reveals the same breathtaking horizon—unchanged, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. 🥲🌊

A perfect end to a fresh start—this one’s a keeper ✨🫶🏼

& endless gratitude to @omgadrian for inspiring and reigniting something in me to finally do this 🙇🏻‍♀️

THE IN-BETWEEN | it's 1AM & my mind's running.

thought of ways to clean my shit up - i've archived and unarchived, went through everything from my pasts to see which are the ones worth bringing back, only to realise that i've been running away from nowhere but the space in-between; now here. here; where i'm all my past, present and future self - that is what always mattered the most.

and so fuck everything; whatever's here is what matters most to me & as much as i hate looking back in time, i'll know that those were what made me who i am now - el pasado, presente y futuro.

and finally here, posting a photo of real time - it has been awhile, hasn't it.
