I’ve been afraid—afraid to sit down and face this blank space; afraid to write about the past three months; afraid of my incapability to talk about what’s wedged deep within my heart. Each time I’m on this page of Diwa Daily, I divert to a written page on my journal, a tab on my browser,…

I’m writing this after waking up from a 15-minute power nap. ? I started doing this recently to fight my unyielding tendency to wake up before sunrise, and not get enough sleep throughout the day. Since the pandemic hit the country and we’ve been staying home, the fam and I have been making significant changes…

If you asked 18-year old me what my life would look like 12 years into the future, I’d probably describe something far from what it’s like this very day. At one point, I told Jayson with utmost confidence that I’d have the time of my life the moment I turn 30 years old. I’d drink,…

It’s my very own space where I can talk freely, frequently or…

I wish it was easy enough to just write about all that’s happened over the last few weeks. I could only record recent events by hand on my notebook since it’s within reach and didn’t require me to log in, give it a title, upload a featured image, etc. But silence doesn’t have to last…
