My Velvet Diary
The rope's embrace: truth without chains


Dear Diary: Gratitude
Dear Diary, The summer night hums soft outside. Stars winking like old secrets, and my glass sweats ice-cold against my palm. Just us, Diary—no rush, no shadows.

I've been carrying this weight for so long, the kind that clips wings before they even spread. However, I managed to set myself free. Free from lies. Free from toxic shit. Free from manipulation. Free from the fear of being seen and used like an object of desire. I no longer draw blood from my pen —unless is for creativity’s sake. I'v
