hi vi! sorry if you’ve already answered this, but where is your moon bracelet from? <3
every time you disappear from social media, it feels like a piece of me is missing 😭 (but take your time and take care of yourself always 🫂)
hello(: I would like to query, how does one deal with unfathomable hollowness that is constantly present inside oneself?
little things keeping me together:
the feeling of december on my skin
the birthday of my beloved on sunday
classical music
painting my nails
the pieces i’ve yet to perfect on flute
the scarf i’ve yet to finish crocheting
i wish i had an answer for you. i don’t think i’ll ever stop feeling empty. but all i can do today, is try—to love and bear witness to it. i hope this feeling leaves you soon my love but in the meantime i hope this can become a sliver of comfort you decide to keep tucked in your pocket. i hope you find the courage to remember that there are more running to you as fast as they can
i really admire your intelligence and how well-spoken you are and i aspire to be more like you. do you have any advice on how to develop these skills(?) ?
i have the craziest imposter syndrome every other day to be honest, i can’t believe this is how some people see me to begin with…. but i will say that i wouldn’t even be half the person i am today if i didn’t create. it doesn’t matter the medium—but i think partaking in any art form will change you forever
hii, what meaning do you give to the word "ellipses"? 🤔
your favorite 2024 albums/songs so far? i really really love your music taste <3
i made a small list for you (only encompasses music released in 2024 because otherwise we’d be here all day; if you want to know though, let me know):
albums -
submarine by the marías
J by jaehyun
the unwavering hand by flawed mangoes
songs -
no one noticed by the marías
mirror by chestnut bakery
beginning by doyoung
now/before by german error message
sienna by the marías
world on a string by jessica pratt
fatal trouble by enhypen
love wins all by iu
how to be at peace and look for the good when all i see is suffering? nothing brings any emotions out of me anymore. even things/people i used to love. it feels like i am losing all the love inside me
i don’t think peace exists if you are a good person. Kwame Ture once said “peace is the white man’s word,” and that quote changed how i saw things from then on. however, i do think that the joy we find in the things we love and the people we love are fundamental in our strive to liberation and revolution. we’ve been conditioned to think joy is an optional part of life, that we will still be able to function without it but we cannot. i don’t know if this helps at all and i’m truly sorry you’re feeling so lost and scared… i was feeling a lot of that especially at the end of last year. but my most helpful advice to you, is to turn that fear and sorrow into love for your community, and convert something paralytic into something catalytic. we cannot do this without community, we cannot resist without joy.
i can be mistaken but i saw lana del rey in your playlist and was confused. isn't she a major zionist?
respectfully, what does @ngayuanfen mean ?
hi~ hope you are having a nice week. i could dm this but whatever. take care 💖💖💖
TYSSSMMM FOR THE SONGS
i love sharing this space with you & read your tweets/photos/thoughts 🤍 i aspire to be like you, as i struggle to not overthink about people's perceptions of me upon my posts... how can i be a little bit like you, dear vi? :,) ♡
and i you! i can guarantee it. it’s impossible not to think about perception in some capacity i think, but (and i don’t think it absolves the fear but it makes it much easier to fall back into a place of authenticity): people who are meant to find you always will no matter what, and those who aren’t won’t find you even if you tapped them on the shoulder. so post whatever you want and trust that you will come together soon! because you will. and if anyone perceives your content in a negative light, they have the choice to walk away or be a little bitch about it. everyone who chooses the latter, i believe, are struggling with something inside of them and are only projecting onto you because you can be authentic and they can’t. they’ll be their own unraveling. don’t worry too much! and do not pay attention to like count—all i think matters is if you like what you’re sharing with the world
Hi so I wanted advice from you 🥲 the thing is, i also want to start an account like you how u write poems and share thoughts you know? I also want to start an account like that but i really don't know where to start it's so hard. I created an account but what do I do now? Where do I start? I also want to write and share my thoughts with people but i don't understand anything what do I first do? How did you start? How did u grow ur acc and connect with people? Pls tell me I don't have anyone else to ask this to
people will care about what you say if YOU care about what you say. honestly there’s no way to do it and i didn’t even do this purposefully… i think if you’re true to what you love and surround yourself with people who will stimulate your brain in the same authentic way that will create interactions and community… then the rest follows. i never made my account with the intent of “growing” it and i don’t keep it in mind now, either. i have always posted what i liked and i continue to do so. those who want to listen, will.
where have you been :(
@ngayuanfen in my safe space (i just talk about sunghoon and play the flute sometimes)
