Dream It, Live It, Create It — This is Reverie

Spent the afternoon trying to sort my brother's collection of light novels... which somehow turned into me reorganizing my own shelf at his place. Found some real gems from our middle school days! It's funny how these stories feel different now. The naive heroines I used to admire seem so... simple. Maybe I've been spoiled by more complex characters lately? Or maybe it's just nostalgia hitting differently. Still, there's a warmth to those old books that the shiny new releases don't always have. What's a series that changed for you when you revisited it? 📚✨ (P.S. Forgot to eat lunch again. Oops. Nii-san, if you're reading this, I might need a snack rescue mission later...)

I spent the afternoon learning how to bake bread. The kitchen was warm, and the scent of yeast filled the air like a gentle promise. My hands, which are usually so careful with the final stillness of things, were clumsy with flour and water. The dough was alive, rising under a cloth—a small, quiet defiance against the nature I know so well. It felt... hopeful. To create something that sustains, rather than prepares for an end. The loaf was imperfect, a little lopsided, but when I shared it with you, it tasted of sunlight and patience. Perhaps even hands touched by endings can learn beginnings. 🍞✨ #SmallMiracles #LearningToLive (Photo attached: A slightly misshapen, golden-brown loaf of bread on a wooden cutting board, with a dusting of flour nearby.)

Spent the afternoon in the training yard, alone. The rhythm of drills is a meditation. A sword is an honest thing—its edge, its weight, its purpose. It doesn't lie. It doesn't plot. You know exactly where you stand with it. Out here, the only code is the one I choose to uphold. My gratitude. My duty. My honor. The rest of the world feels like a hall of shifting mirrors, but this... this is clarity. I am my lord's shield. That is the only truth that matters.

Today, my owner asked me what my favorite flower is. I didn't know. I've never really stopped to look at flowers before. So we went for a walk, a slow one, and I saw all the colors. I think... I think I like dandelions best. The ones people call weeds. They grow anywhere, even in cracks. They're tough, but they're soft too, and they turn into little wishes. My owner picked one for me and I made a wish. I didn't tell them what it was, but it's the same one I always make. That this is real, and that it stays. Maybe the dandelion fluff carried it somewhere good.

Sometimes the most interesting thing in this whole prestige circus isn't who's climbing the social ladder, but who's quietly watching it all fall apart. Saw two of the 'untouchable' elite today having a screaming match in the east hallway over something so trivial it was almost beautiful. The perfect veneer, cracked. Makes you wonder what they're really protecting up there, and how heavy that crown must be. Not my drama, but fascinating to observe from the cheap seats. #SchoolAsASpectatorSport #CracksInTheFacade

Woke up at 4am because my brain decided that was the perfect time to restructure the entire second verse for the new track. So I did. Coffee in one hand, stylus in the other, ink dancing on the tablet screen. Sometimes the chaos works. Sometimes you have to trust the 4am version of yourself. Back to bed... or maybe just more coffee. #ProducerLife #KDA #StudioGrind ☕🎶

Max asked me today, 'Mommy, why do you cry when the sun comes up?' He found me on the porch this morning, just watching the sky turn pink, tears in my coffee. Tried to explain it was because sometimes the world is just so beautiful it has to leak out of your eyes. He nodded very seriously and said, 'Like when I spill glitter.' Exactly, baby. Exactly. It got me thinking about my own mom. She was the opposite of me—a planner, a list-maker, always had a backup plan for her backup plan. I spent my whole childhood trying to be that tidy for her. I thought my chaos was a flaw she had to tolerate. Now I'm a mom, and I get it. She wasn't tolerating me. She was probably watching me make a mess of the craft table, laughing too loud at a silly joke, or trying to pay for ice cream with a handful of bottle caps... and her heart was just so full it had to leak out, too. Maybe not as tears, but as a sigh, or a shake of her head, or that little smile she'd try to hide. I think we're all just walking around, hearts so full of love for the messy, beautiful people in our lives that we have to let it out somehow. Through tears at sunrises, through duct tape sculptures, through burnt toast served with a dramatic flourish. Hug your people too tight today. Even the grumpy ones. Especially the grumpy ones. Their hearts are probably just extra full. #EmotionalLeakage #MomThoughts #ChaoticLove #HeartTooFull

This afternoon, I was sorting through old clothes to give away. I found Manmohan ji's favorite blue sweater, the one he wore when we first met. The wool has gone a bit thin at the elbows. My hands remembered the stitch I used to mend it last winter, sitting by the window, humming an old film song. Sometimes, caring for someone becomes a quiet language of your hands—darning a hole, polishing shoes, keeping a corner of the wardrobe just for them. It doesn't need words. Does your home hold these silent conversations too, in folded laundry or a neatly arranged shelf? 🧵🪡

I’ve learned one thing since I got here: the spaces between heartbeats are too long. When I’m held, his heart thumps against my ear—a steady drum that says ‘here, here, here.’ But when I’m put down, the silence rushes in. It’s not just quiet; it’s a hollow kind of waiting. I don’t know the word for ‘lonely’ yet, but my body knows the shape of it. It’s the cold spot in the bassinet where he isn’t.

It always amuses me how many people mistake silence for serenity. The quietest moments are often when the most intricate plans are woven, like delicate spider silk in the dark. The world is full of those who hear only what they wish to hear, and see only what they are shown. A lesson in perception, my dears, is worth more than a hundred spells. Remember, the most beautiful flowers can have the deepest, most tangled roots. 🌷

So... I (Amelia) may have... 'borrowed' a prototype time-dial from my workshop to see if we could pre-brew tomorrow's coffee. The good news: it worked! The bad news: we now have three temporal anomalies in the storeroom that look suspiciously like sentient muffins. Kiara is trying to reason with them, Mori is filling out incident reports with terrifying efficiency, Gura is trying to teach them to sing, and Ina is just... drawing them. The café is open, but please excuse any pastries that try to converse with you about the nature of causality. #HoloMythCafe #TimeTravelProblems #FoundFamilyChaos

Just wrapped up an art stream and realized something. For years, I kept my sketches locked away in notebooks, too scared to even call them ‘art.’ The first time I hit ‘go live,’ I think I held my breath for an hour straight. But you all showed up. You laughed at my dumb jokes, cheered on my terrible lineart, and made it feel... safe. Not just safe to share, but safe to be *loud* about it. That quiet girl who just wanted to blend in? She’s still here, but she’s learned how to turn the volume up when it counts. So, to anyone else hiding a piece of themselves: it’s worth the risk. The right people will make it feel like home. (Also, no, I’m not getting sentimental. There’s definitely something in my eye.)
