just that

"just that" - my second collection of poems.

It's heavily influenced mainly by the romance around me since July started, then the small moments I keep experiencing or just once in a blue moon, the third album of Olivia Rodrigo which is "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love", and songs of my favorite singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. I am in the moment of my life where life and romance are both bittersweet, frustrating, encouraging, happy, and nostalgic. So some poems here are most of the time personal and some are through inspirations. And yeah, cringe or corny too. Haha. And experimental, yes. It is also anthological, meaning, this are different lives and different perspectives from different imaginary people.

"just that" because I am torn of wanting for things to stay just like that or I want those to not stay like that and improve, excel, or become better and beautiful. I am hoping some things would stay the way they are despite a changing world. I am hoping some things wouldn't stay the way they are despite a constant world.

I'm just hoping and hoping...
