Greatness

what makes someone great at anything? not talent, not luck, not some secret formula only the rich know. it's an art and today you're going to learn it.

step one: respect the craft. most people want to be good but they don't respect what they're doing. you scroll, you multitask, you have zero focus and expect full results. that's not how excellence works. if you want to be exceptional, start acting like what you're doing actually matters, even if it's small, even if no one's watching.

step two: build obsession with the basics. the best in any field - sports, art, business - don't chase hacks. master the fundamentals. tiger woods still practices putting. a michelin star chef still sharpens his knife. and hokusai, one of the greatest artists in japanese history, at 73 he painted the great wave, a piece that shook the world. he made over 30,000 artworks in his life but the world only remembers one. that's what happens when you chase perfection in the shadows.

step three: fall in love with repetition. not results, not applause - repetition. because doing something exceptionally well isn't about getting it right once. it's about getting it right even when you're tired, even when no one claps, even when it's boring. that is what makes it art.

so what's the real secret? be the person who can sit with the same task longer than anyone else. refine it, improve it, do it again. and if you're not good yet? good. that means you're just early in the process. keep painting your wave. and one day the world will remember yours too.

The Whisper of Entropy

Everything longs to fall apart.

A sandcastle surrenders to the tide,

a candle melts into the past,

stars collapse into the silent dark.

The universe was born in order,

a perfect symmetry of light and fire,

but time is a sculptor with restless hands,

carving chaos into every stone.

You can build, you can bind,

but entropy waits, patient as the sea,

whispering that all things drift

toward the quiet arms of forever.

Yet within this dance of decay,

life blooms, brief but burning—

defying the tide, if only for a moment,

before surrendering to the stars once more.

Poetry Comics Month, Day 6: Pointillism

[thekynadiaries]

I want to work this out with you.

I don't want to find you in another universe. I don't want to meet you in a parallel galaxy, in the afterlife, or at another time.

I don't want you to be my what-if, my greatest love that got away, or my right-person-wrong time.

I don't want to spend my days searching for a love like yours. I do not want to give my heart to anyone else. I do not want to begin again, get to know a soul again, and pour out my all again.

I want to work this out with you. I want my poetries to be about your entirety. I want my future to be filled with ours. I want my years to be yours.

I want to argue, make up, and be close to you. I want to share silence, buy groceries, and build a home with you. I want to trace stars, reach dreams, and share victories with you.

Heaven and parallel universes are not promised. I only have this one chance. And my love, I want us to end up in this lifetime.
