It’s Over Now

Standing at crossroads
Where did we go wrong?
Things were all mayhem
But we promised we’d stay strong
Everything that ever happened
Seems like a haze of a time long forgotten.

Every step is breaking us down
Life is charting a path that we hate
What was, is not what is anymore
Things that made us smile bring now despair.

Missing you is something I never wanted to know
Cause being with you was my forever story
The choices we made and the chances we took
Made us reach where we are today

A destiny that was never imagined
A future apart
With solitude and a broken heart.

Small Gestures

Not a big fan of the world-altering romance. I think something like that would just overwhelm me.

I believe in the small actions that people do.

Like pretending to look at the phone just to give you time to catch up and walk together. Or switching the restaurant to one of your favorites.

Even though they seem like small insignificant things I think they have profound meaning. They are not done to be appreciated instead they are done out of habit. As if it’s the most normal thing for them to do.

I believe being part of someone’s normal is my kind of romantic. It almost feels like you share a world of your own with that person even though there are a billion people around you.

And that to me, is just beautiful.

Chocolatey Goodness

I am unfortunately not a person with much of an idea when it comes to food and even lesser when it comes to chocolates.

But over the course of my life I have identified some flavors that work well with my limited palate. I love the taste of hazelnut in chocolate and I also love the taste of dark chocolate. I should mention that the chocolate that has always been close to my heart is “Kit-Kat”.

If I were to to describe my dream chocolate it would be the Kit Kat wafers with Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut cream! 🙂

Empty Conversations?

I am not one for conversations. I choose to brood over things in my solitude.

It took me sometime but the only time I do “talk” to people is when I want a distraction. Random empty conversations might not add to anything useful in my life but they stop my mind from attacking me. Even if it is just for a short duration in that moment all my worries go to the back of my mind.

On rare occasions that I have a “heart-to-heart” conversations with someone it helps me realize that my life is much better than most people. It gives me a perspective other from my own and I get will to fight a little longer.

So contradictory to most people’s opinion, in my opinion empty conversations do have value.

Being Persistent

I prefer to not try rather than fail and I use that as an excuse every time I slip up.

I have huge plans of what to achieve in my future and I realize that to get there what I need more than anything is to keep pushing forward. It’s okay for those days where I just want to be lazy and waste time. All I need to learn is to get up and keep moving forward.

“One step backward two step forward.” I need learn to keep chipping at that block. Here’s to phase 2 of Year 2024.

Seriously?

The first thought I have is ‘what a weird question’. My mind always is running. I have developed the habit of multi tasking and in most cases, at any given point, I think I am always thing of two things at the same time.

So I have no first thing that comes to my mind. the prompt should probably should have been “What is the first thing on your mind when you wake up?” and the answer would be — Where did I throw my bedsheet this time..

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Yes!

I know that corruption in politics always deters us to vote. We may end up thinking “What is the point? Nothing is going to change.” And in most case it is true.

In my opinion, we cannot complain about something if we do not do anything for it. Politics is a difficult career to pursue and one really needs the talent and skill to stay in it. Personally, I feel that I would not be able to handle it and so I choose to vote for the person who I think would be best out of the options I have.

I believe it is my right and responsibility to vote and if I do not do that I should not expect others to perform their responsibility.

When the clock strikes 12

I think that night owls can relate to me.

I am most productive when everyone is asleep. I feel the quiet of the night makes me more focused on what I am doing.

I do feel sleepy at 10 pm but when I push through that sleep I can keep on working till dawn. Time passing doesn’t even come to mind. Only when my house wakes up again in the morning do I realize that I have skipped bed time all together.

When do you feel most productive?

A Few Words of Comfort

Many times in life I see people who seem to be lost in thoughts their face filled with worry and grief.

I used to walk past them with hesitant steps. I really wanted to talk talk to them, to give then a ear. I was never sure how to approach them and I had the constant fear “What if I say the wrong thing”.

Today however, I take the chance, I ask them if they need to talk or if everything is okay. I think if everyone took the time, to ask how others are doing even when they are unsure it makes a huge difference.
