Your body is a canvas.

-



Certain people leave different prints on us, and I would like to believe that each person leaves a stain on your body, that you would recall every time you touch a scar on your thigh, or get an erotic feeling down your spine, or maybe get some butterflies down your stomach. We get painted throughout our lives with the colors of people, melting on our mental and physical canvas, which makes you wonder if you have truly created yourself or you are a painted picture of all the people you have ever met in your life.

All these splashes of people stain on you, whether they are black and full of rage; which leave you scarred every time you touch them, or colorful ones that get you into La la land at the sound of each splash. That is the beauty of the human body, you show people your colors, scars, freckles and wrinkles from the outside and it makes you identifiable and beautiful in a certain way, but your true colors are actually deep under your skin, your losses, your true scars and grieves, your unique canvas and your true shining beauty, which makes only few lucky ones reach through and paint over the black holes.

It is said;
“To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because ‘it’ is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it?
This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
 Once in a blue moon, in between all of these random fingerprints around your body, one will be able to reach to your heart, and dig a hole of their human figure. You will find a bit of them in every human being and try to complete the puzzle, but there is always that missing piece, that incomplete feeling which leaves your heart empty and hollow forever, you will try looking for them in the crowds in each outing, hoping you will find that familiar face, hug them so hard that your broken pieces would stick back together, and maybe, just maybe you will finally have your heart beat normally again.

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...
