“Tháng giêng ngon như một cặp môi gần;

Tôi sung sướng. Nhưng vội vàng một nửa:

Tôi không chờ nắng hạ mới hoài xuân.

Xuân đang tới, nghĩa là xuân đang qua,

Xuân còn non, nghĩa là xuân sẽ già,

Mà xuân hết, nghĩa là tôi cũng mất.

Lòng tôi rộng, nhưng lượng trời cứ chật,

Không cho dài thời trẻ của nhân gian,

Nói làm chi rằng xuân vẫn tuần hoàn,

Nếu đến nữa không phải rằng gặp lại!

Còn trời đất, nhưng chẳng còn tôi mãi,

Nên bâng khuâng tôi tiếc cả đất trời;

Mùi tháng, năm đều rớm vị chia phôi,

Khắp sông, núi vẫn than thầm tiễn biệt...

Cơn gió xinh thì thào trong lá biếc,

Phải chăng hờn vì nỗi phải bay đi?

Chim rộn ràng bỗng đứt tiếng reo thi,

Phải chăng sợ độ phai tàn sắp sửa?”

(Vội vàng-Xuân Diệu)

English translation:

“ January is as delectable as a nearby pair of lips

Though I’m blissful, I’m halfly in haste

I don’t wait for Summer sun to reminisce the passed Spring

A coming spring means a passing spring

A flowering spring means an aging spring

Once spring ends, my time is also over

My soul is enormous but my fate is short

Never let my youth to prolong

Pointless to say spring is recurring

Despite never being able to meet the same spring again

The Life is here, but I’m not

The longing lingers as I grieve for all beings

The scent of months and days is steeped in partings

And the mountains and rivers echo a farewell song

The gentle breeze whispers with emerald leaves

Is she in sorrow that she has to go?

Jubilant birds just stop twittering,

Fearful of fading times ahead?”

(Haste-Xuan Dieu)

P.S: this is the third version of my painting “Reality or Just a Dream”. And obviously it’s springtime instead of summertime as the previous ones. Actually, this is basically the first version I’ve drawn but as the theme of #kkobsummer2025 is summer and I don’t think sakura is a flower of that youthful season so here it is…

And the poem, I’m in love with it since I’ve learned it in high school, it was exceptionally beautifully written by one of my favorite authors (Xuan Dieu). It’s all about the enthusiasms for enjoying life at every seconds of your life. Though you adore the beauty of Life so much, you must be not in haste as to appreciate it to its fullness ‘cause, you only have one chance to live in that specific second. The next second, minute, hour, day, week, month, season, year may come but they’re never the same. We are all changing.

The concept of my painting “Reality or Just a Dream” is also inspired by those poems I’ve posted recently. Maybe in other posts I’ll discuss about it, because I want to dig into the poem in the first version of this painting too. Enjoy😗

please drop some recs (yes again because i don't wanna dig for them because my cell service is spotty and don't wanna lose my progress on searches if it reloads)

Hi!!!! It's been so long!!!!

So uhhh a lot has happened, the past almost year or so, so ummmm

I finished HS, went on multiple trips, my father had a stroke (he's mostly fine now!), my mental and physical health regressed a lot (I'm working on it :) ), I had many many real life projects and met so many cool people, and I started college!

But now I'm back and ready to keep writing! I must say that my interests have shifted a lot since I started "The Summer Obito Died", but I put a lot of effort into this project, and though sure, it will stray from TSHD quite some, I hope to do the fanfic and canon both justice

The next chapter may not come for a few days, but it's going to be a longer one than the ones before, that's for sure!

Another ref sheet, I know this isn't what most people want, BUT HEAR ME OUT. Neoma is a Naruto fan child I've been developing for what feels like forever now, and she's great. She's an Orochimaru experiment designed to help post-war Obito (Shush he survives in this au) more accustomed to society. Having something to put care and effort into after a decade in solitary confinement could be pretty helpful, I'd imagine. To help keep him on track as well, is Kakashi, her other DNA spliced half. Obito and Kakashi are hardly a couple. Kakashi is hokage after all, but I don't see it being something that can't develop over time slow burn style. BUT ANYWAY- Enough rambling- If anyone has any questions, god, please ask! And uhhhhhhhhh enjoy!!

Neoma's Mangekyo (it's easy to get a Mangekyo when one of your parents killed hundreds of thousands of people and started a war :))
