A Year of Warmth and Reflections
Hey everyone, Your silent confidante here
It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since I launched "Looking Like a Blur." What started as a humble space for sharing has blossomed into a comforting haven where voices find solace and stories are shared with sincerity. Watching this space grow and seeing how it has touched hearts warms mine immensely.
In celebration of this special milestone, I've decided to focus on spreading joy today. You'll find that the posts I've shared reflect a more uplifting tone. To mark the occasion, here's a little poem from me.
Thank you for being part of this journey and making "Looking Like a Blur" a place of warmth and connection.
In the tapestry of the bustling university, I slowly take my usual seat under the tree, Observing people as they rush through life, While the voices in my head cloud my sight.
Chatting and giggling voices fill my ears, I turn my head and meet eyes filled with tears. Subtly wiping them away, she walks off, While on the other side, the chaos does not stop.
Different emotions and experiences fill the air, Contrasting feelings weave through the world’s glare. One is joyful while the other feels sad, One is angry while another’s frustrated and mad.
Making me wonder about the world’s own magic, I lean against the tree, feeling so tragic. A small sigh escapes as I close my eyes, The voices in my head again become my only guide.

Mark felt a wave of familiarity as he read the lines of the new post over and over. The poem’s emotional depth and style struck him as something he had encountered before. The more he scrolled through the blog, the more the writing seemed to echo Jia’s unique voice. The resemblance was so striking that he couldn’t shake the feeling that the anonymous author might be Jia.
He found himself fixated on the author's note, reading it repeatedly, searching for any clues that might confirm his suspicion. His gaze then drifted to the girl sitting across from him in the library. Jia was hunched over her notes, her expression tense as she prepared for her upcoming exams. Her laptop and scattered papers surrounded her as she anxiously flipped through her materials, her micropencil twirling in her hand.
