Look Out!

‘Like that’,
Words come with multiple meanings.

‘Karaoke’,
Voices come with multiple thoughts.

When the world is dark,
Shadows are white.

Look out!
What you buy and,
Really want to buy.

Cliche for a Reason!

The wolf is at the door,
All that, that is,
That was,
Catastrophic equation.

The wolf is at the door,
What is next?
Who is next?
Regretting summation.

The wolf is at the door,
Cliche for a reason.

Cliches are cliches for a reason. Decisions, periodically stand as wolf at the door. Then we get used to the wolf.

Voids of Detachment

“The thin lines of thick happiness between attach and detach”

It is not necessary that life has to present us with void giving us the opportunity to fill  up something. At times we stand responsible to create a void.

Life cannot be without the people we care. It’s this attachment that adds meaning to  life. If people change and if that attachment is only bringing the pain, it’s certainly best time to de that attachment. We all have our limits of care. If the person at the other side expects more freedom and that is what the new happiness is, then that is when we give away with it.

This is when we create a void for our self. We cannot keep destroying our self for the  care we do for other. This is one of most difficult forms of void and can easily destroy  one. But that is inevitable and the need. That void is essential.

There is a difference between going to depression and going to void. When in void, one will create a space and find a new love. As an unusual change, loving thyself could be it too. It’s not easy. Certainly not. But it is the inevitable. It’s not easy doing a work solely for self satisfaction, with no expectations of some one’s appreciation. It’s not impossible as well. Anyone who says is doing it, is not actually doing it. Self Satisfaction things are mostly unsaid and unknown.

If there is no one ready to accompany for a movie, then it’s not about complaining, it’s about watching something else reachable or going alone. A popcorn or cold drink is always a best company. We are not here to force an idea. We are here to find the other who would agree to our idea of fun. The inner acceptance of this reality is the actual idea of fun.

Have you ever got a cake for yourself on your birthday when you knew no one else would possibly get it? Or when you just wanted your favorite cake for your birthday? Nothing can stop one being happy on one’s own birthday. It’s these little things of pleasure that eventually makes the life beautiful. Be in it.

Welcome the void!

Hello Vantablack!

We fall in love everyday.

With a thought, with a lyric,
With an attraction, with a face,
With a person, personality,
With a mood, moment,
With a hate, quality,
With a shit, with a crap.

Deep down,
Hello – Vantablack!

Ahoy Matey, 2018!

New Year is always a happy one to the near, dear and beer ones.

It might look like yet another routine day but it isn’t. It’s the day where the inner self has agreed to change for the healthier good and give a renewed start. It’s the belief that “Whatever sucked yesterday, might not suck tomorrow and today needs that something to be done.” It’s time to get bigger milestones.

Announcing the goals is the first step of making sure that you are going to stick to it. Here is for the better and grand start. Cheers!
