grief blog- raining at the funeral
This song recounts my experience at my Grampy’s funeral on a cold, rainy day. While at the funeral home, my thoughts were on death, the afterlife, and my own mortality. Then I realized this was my second visit there. When we arrived at the church, I remember feeling like I’d already been there three times. […]
grief blog- hanging out with family
The song is about hanging out with family and how families like to tease each other. How you talk about the past, listening to stories, having fun, and of course, eating. I wrote this song while I was on my way to Fort Lauderdale.
grief blog three: endless cycle
I wrote a song called Endless Cycle. The song is about emotions that whip you back and forth during the grieving process. I used weather phenomena to describe how I feel. I wrote this song while I was on the road to Braintree, Massachusetts, for my Grampy’s funeral on May 5th, which is Cinco de […]

grief blog 2: One Last Conversation

Sometimes it is the dark forest, the babbling spring, and the underestimate appearance of the carrier of destiny. It signifies that destiny has summoned the hero and transferred the hero’s spiritual […]
blog twenty two: the hero’s journey I
This story will incorporate elements of a hero’s journey, following the well-known monomyth structure consisting of three core stages: separation, initiation, and return. To offer a comprehensive framework, I will reference Joseph Campbell’s seminal work, *The Hero with a Thousand Faces*, which explores these stages in detail and illustrates how they apply to mythological narratives […]
blog twenty one: setting of the prologue
The prologue unfolds in a mysterious cave, and you might be wondering—why a cave? Well, it all started with a dream. Years ago, I found myself trapped in a dark, echoing cavern, and that haunting image stayed with me. I kept weaving stories around it, and eventually, I decided to write one down. The actual […]
blog twenty: the story part two
The second character I created and named is Luthien Summer. I initially sought a unique name that would stand out, but Luthien persistently echoed in my mind. Inspired by Tolkien’s legendarium, I chose Luthien because it is the name of the enchanting elven/maia woman Beren fell in love with, symbolizing grace, resilience, and ethereal beauty. […]
