Achilles & I

On October 16, 2022September 15, 2022 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

What drove Achilles to battle What motivated him to stay ten years? Why do we write? Why do we sculpt? Why do we draw? Why do we film? Traces, we leave them everywhere Our voice, our experience We want to be heard We want to be seen I was here, I did something I existed, …

Up in the Air

On October 9, 2022September 15, 2022 By GiftIn Poetry5 Comments

It's so jarring ascending It's so jarring descending You grip your seat You grit your teeth Your stomach flies out your mouth! But once we're suspended in the air Land a far away thought Surrounded by nothing but fat fluffy clouds The sensation of freedom fills my heart In that moment I don't hate leaving …

안개 안아

On October 2, 2022September 15, 2022 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

(fog) It rolls in darkness Covering everything in sight Used often to stir fright in ones heart Slow and creeping, dragging you under Yet its embrace is soft Gentle is its touch Neither warm nor cold It descends from heaven to grace our skin Driving becomes difficult White all around It can feel lonely As …

Royalty of Egypt

On September 25, 2022September 15, 2022 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

Regal they are, they know what they want Elegant, each step is thought out Beauty captured in animal form Rulers of the kingdom, of that they are well aware Clean to a fault, to dirt they turn their noses Precise hunters, all steps are mapped out Work life balance, never out of whack When it's …

Chaos

On September 18, 2022September 15, 2022 By GiftIn PoetryLeave a comment

Above... Calm as the sea with no wind Sitting in the light soaking in the D Sipping on fruit, toes threaded in sand Below... In my core, is an energy A fire It burns, it swirls, it longs for air Without the constraints what would I be? Who would I be? A pure Gift, untouched …

You Live In Me

On November 9, 2021November 12, 2021 By GiftIn anime, mangaLeave a comment

Do you ever see yourself in characters? I do but to see yourself you have to know yourself. I thought I knew myself pretty well but as I get older I learn that there are still things that I do not know about myself. With what I do know however these are the characters I …

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA DO NOT READ IF NOT CAUGHT UP So I read the manga immediately after finishing the season because what was that ending!!! They just ended it like on such a massive cliff-hanger. Nah, that’s not on so I had to read the manga even though that’s exactly what …

Kenny and his Sword

On November 1, 2021October 25, 2021 By GiftIn manga, MusingsLeave a comment

I love Bleach. When I first started my blog I took the opportunity to write about Bleach and it’s characters. Since then I haven’t really re watched or re read Bleach but when Kubo came out with Burn the Witch it got me thinking about Bleach again and I’ve started to rewatch the series but …

The Monster Within | Sanji One Piece

On October 26, 2021October 25, 2021 By GiftIn mangaLeave a comment

THIS POST CONTAINS MANGA SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF NOT CAUGHT UP So in the recent chapters of One Piece Sanji has been activated. I always wonder how the poison Sora drank worked. You see, they say the brothers Ichiji, Njii and Yonji are emotionless but they’re not. I think they were all affected by …

Reading Princess Diaries for the Thousandth Time

On October 5, 2021September 23, 2021 By GiftIn BooksLeave a comment

I have read this series a thousand times but something about reading it in my twenties hits different. There are things I notice that I never noticed before and things that jump out that didn’t before and I shall talk about them here. One thing I realised is I do not like Lilly and I …
