have a pot of tea.
imagine sipping from a warm pot of tea.
when you take that first sip,
what type of tea did you imagine drinking?
is it light?
bitter?
sweet?
was the flavor,
a delicate blend of chamomile and honey?
soothing your senses with its gentle sweetness?
'cause in a world transformed by a pandemic,
a pot of tea became a sanctuary.
its warmth embraced us,
a refuge from realities.
throughout the pandemic,
our lives transformed in unpredictable ways.
in that tranquil moment,
dreams are woven into reality.
dreams intertwined with reality,
a tapestry woven with hope and hardship.
so did you dream a dream?
'cause we did.
ever wonder how one pandemic has changed all of us.
for the better or not,
it depend.
across digital landscapes,
crossing oceans.
we found solace in newfound friendships from corners of the world we'd never have explored otherwise.
new friendships blossomed,
transcending borders,
defying oceans.
oceans were crossed,
not just in miles but in experiences shared.
we navigated this uncharted territory,
how was yours like?
ours was wild.
our shared journey wild and untamed.
some said sometimes it takes ten years to get that one year that changes your life,
ours did.
let me tell you our story for CreateTogether.
and you can decide on what you think.
life at first disco ball.
a disco ball spins—
a shimmering sight,
not ruined glass,
but prisms of light.
tiny fragments,
each one small,
together they dance,
igniting the hall.
a disco ball isn't just made of shattered pieces—
it’s countless mirrors,
reflecting the past, time and bubbles,
a thousand moments passed,
now shining back at them.
thousands of tiny mirrored fragments,
coming together to form a magical ball,
turning light into magic,
as they swirl beneath its radiant beam.
just like the shade from a tree that bears no fruit,
it never fade,
silent in its strength, protecting those beneath it with its shadow.
it offers peace without demand,
a quiet presence,
not seeking recognition or reward,
but simply being—
a quiet, steady light.
it is not shattered,
don't be misled or deceived—
it catches the glow,
shining all the more instead.
not torn apart,
not lost at all—
it stands whole,
just like a disco ball.
reflecting the beauty around it,
shining with quiet resilience,
even when it bear no fruit,
& offering its light without expectation,
a steady presence that never fades,
so be a disco ball;
