Together everything is better

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

With working parents we didn’t always have the whole family together. But the one thing that we always did together was putting up the Christmas tree. We stayed up on December 1st every year and decorated the whole house for Christmas. Both my parents no matter how tired we they were from their long hours of work they stayed up with us.

Every year we tried changing up the way we decorated and came up with new ideas on how to do it. We have made a nativity set out of clay, decorations for the tree using eggshells of the Christmas Cake, stars out of thermocol… and so many other things. It was not always aesthetically pleasing but my parents appreciated with so much love.

True, we may not have had a lot of time with the whole family around but we did not miss out on anything. And I guess though not a family tradition when all of us were together we had happy times and that was what mattered.

Miscommunication

Published on by wordhues2 Comments

Now this is a question I certainly should not answer.

Communication of any sort has been a problem for me. What I mean and what I actually say always end up being different. Funny thing is when I take a step back and rethink I understand why people react the way they do the first time around. I noticed that the best form of communication I have is when my words usually swirl in my mind and then onto paper.

Considering that, you would think I love writing emails, or posting on social media. However, it is not the case. Guess I like talking to myself most of the time. 🙂

This year around, I have started to make a change. I now have started with my blog (more like continued) and soon the many videos and tutorials are going to start showing up in my prospective YouTube channel. Fingers crossed. Here’s to adopting change!

Multitasker or a Procrastinator?

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I am still not sure what I am. I always do two things at the same time one of which would always be either listening to music or watching (more like listening) to TV series. When it’s leisure time I combine that with either writing, drawing or hand lettering.

Its’s kind of ironical, I think what I like doing best is doing nothing. But even when I am doing nothing I always have some video playing. Does that mean I spend my time watching videos or that I enjoy it just procrastinating?

Come to think of it, I just enjoying spending time with myself during my leisure time. It does not matter what I am doing as long as I am in my world of imagination.

Side Note, day dreaming also is an essential part of my alone time :).

Heart ache

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

When you are a kid the worst thing that can happen would be breaking up with your best friends. We get so attached to people who were strangers. That on one day when they just say things that are so mean we wither a little.

I was a very emotional person, the first time I fought with my “best” friend I fell apart. This short note was written amidst flowing tears and a hand wrapped around my mouth to stifle the noise of crying. When I think of it today I wonder to myself – How could I have been that naive? Anyways, I got over that and many more worst situations. Glad that I made it.

WHEN ONE’S HEART ACHES

When one’s heart aches what can they think,
what can they tell, what can they shed nothing at all…
When a person heart breaks it shattered into a million pieces,
just one hit, yet no sound is heard..
When one’s heart is stabbed a million times the wound deepens but is noticed by none.
It happens in just a second but nobody knows.
When a person loses all hope,
When living has no meaning,
When dying makes no sense,
When emotions die out,
When positivism is replaced by negativism,
When love has gone away.
When loneliness grabs you,
When silence surrounds you,
When happiness is replaced by grief,
When you think it will never be your day,
When memories taunt you,
When ambitions scare you,
When dreams tear you,
When one’s heart aches..

A time when you only think about this world.
A time when the Lord stands so near,
Waiting for you to turn to Him.
When the love of God captures you,
When you know you can live on,
When you realize the life isn’t bad.
When you know that, He is there to help you at a turning or crossroad.
When the lost smile returns in a while,
When He lifts you from the pit of misery,
When He gives His happiness to you as a gift.
When a one’s heart aches, He must run to God and not to human fraud.
Dear Lord, lead me, mould me and teach me Your ways.
Help me forget all of my sadness,
With You I get forever gladness,
May I be forever happy with You even if my heart aches..
