A glimpse of a stranger's art.

-
It is said, you do not realize how beautiful you are until you see yourself in a stranger's eye.

You could be the check-list they have been searching for their entire lives, a masterpiece of collected arts they thought they would never find collapsed in one piece. 
You have lost numerous eye-candies which made you turn your head twice at the glimpse of their appearance, you admire their quirky crooked smiles from afar, or the way a curl falls freely on a missed button on their laced floral top. You gasp, at the imperfection of their existence, for you know that perfection would never make you look twice.

You sit in a classroom, a party, or a metro, as a background ornament to someone's life; observing from afar, and they can never tell that you have fallen in love with their pure existence; you instantly create a mental connection, which you begin laughing at, it is the idea that you could have easily fallen in love with this fleeting stranger. 

It is much easier, getting to know a stranger in the shadows, for you know they would never fake a reaction or even a smile, their gestures are sincere and their bubble is theirs well-protected.
I fall in love with strangers, with their kindness and their beauty, whether they have had a bad hair-day and become extra paranoid about it, or the way they smile at a thought while gazing at a corner, knowing that you are encountering a moment of happiness, that you are a part of this unrecognized beauty, is simply, pure joy.

Off-guard interactions.

Do you ever come across an old photo and feel like your soul has been hugged at that very moment, you get the urge to pin that feeling and portrait the happiness, in case you felt the need to touch it on your off-days, and maybe hold on to at least one solid ground that has no variables of change.  Do you ever come across an old friend, and you feel like your old-self suddenly woke up to welcome them, with all the buried common phrases and giggly childish humor, like you're 15 again with no care for adult covers and acts of forced discipline, you project your bare-soul and don't give a damn about the stains it would carry.  Do you ever come across your old self, start to un-polish all societal edits in your head and get back to your natural comfort-zone, so you build an imaginary fort, braid your hair, put on a childhood nostalgic movie, and hide inside your safe place until the world stops spinning with its uncertainty anymore.

Home in warzone

We’re talking again, innocently, resurfacing the love feelings of the past that only Nostalgia can care to explain. We share songs we know will make their day, and posts no one else would understand, there’s a bond that will never be broken, as much as it's bend. We both still don’t know if we’re good to each other, if we’re ever going to be, and if we’re ever going to hurt each other, we tiptoe with our emotions, knock on our common interests but never dare to walk in, it’s too soon maybe, we want to make sure it won’t hurt this time, that it’s just right, and it’s not the breaking point of that connection, we need the signals to stay alert so we can still believe there’s home somewhere, that there’s a place that would understand us without a single word, we need to feel hugged through re-blogging the same comfort lines over the same platforms.  It feels like a home in the middle of war, you see, you never know if you’re going to be safe, you never know if you should go back...

Unveiled questions in a veiled crisis

What is it that we’re actually feeling? Are we making ourselves live in a fantasy world as a bandaid and a relief of what is actually existent? Are life’s distractions an analgesic of all that might unveil and is yet to come? What are your goals? Your 5-year plan? What are you living for and what are you working for? Do you have your priorities straight up? Do you know what all of this is for?  The time passing by and the money being spent, the chit chats all-around and the energy meters being filled and unfilled. Don’t you find it kind of relieving? The quarantine? The fact that you are humbled down into your home to your very basic needs, and admitting to the actual blessings of life; health family and a safe space to place your head at night. Are you scared? Of going back to real life after this ends? Are you afraid of life dragging you into its own routine net and into the places you were so strongly trying to escape? Are you capable of getti...
