2020

Image
We’re all suckers for watching movies with happy endings on rough nights to restore our faith in humanity and feel some good in the world, we want to let out built-up emotions into one outburst, we want to let go and let be without being judged, we want things to be a little bit easier on some days, and for some cosmic guidance to walk us through the nights without having to pay attention to the dark thoughts pushing their way through our minds. This year has been an exception, this year has been anything but a cliché, this year has fallen nothing short on touching all of our lives deep in all corners, this year has made every quote relatable and has made a museum of memes that will last a lifetime that no other generation will relate to, remember 2020?  People responsible for writing history books will fade into their own candle-light nights writing endless stories, and history teachers will probably curse the day they chose this job after today. It has not been an easy year, it h...

Days are better with you, and heavier without you.

Image
Do you ever just want to hug someone so bad, that it fuses every muscle in your stomach, and defuses every rational brain cell in your head. Do you ever feel so alive around someone, that the day flows by and you still feel eager to spend just .. one .. extra .. hour. Do you ever feel like your capacity increases around someone, filling the entire world with laughs and silliness. Do you ever feel your eyes widen every time you look at someone, trying to absorb all the love you are yet eager to receive. Do you ever feel like you’ve been surrounded with safety around someone, and can’t wait to share every weight of love and life with them. Do you ever feel like someone has made your emotions touch every color in one setting, painting out rainbows coloring life’s parades. Do you ever feel lost in your emotions and your sanity about someone, just because, they simply exist.

Broken record of liberty

Image
At times, I feel like a broken record, One that never got to sing its music out loud to the world,  Stuck on one track never able to reach the next ones,  Trapped, Until its own idea of liberation was to break itself.

Hometown change of heart

Image
Sometimes, this town sucks your soul. The familiarity of it all stops being so homey as much as a thorn sticking out at each corner of your shoe,  you look for a feeling of astonishment while trying to walk naturally around the blocks, but your life has become more of a destination than a wander for a fresh taste of wonder. The familiar faces everywhere and the predetermined looks, the frustration of loops and loops and loops of the same things, a broken record on repeat. It is when that one day comes,  One little thing intriguing all fury,  Or maybe a threat to humanity that demands the world for a change of heart,  Taking an act of courage,  Screaming for a voice out of frustration, illustrated in long walks and red national scarves, lockdowns and open arms. Reminding you of the integral cores you belong to and intentions of people who raised you,  People by whom the country was built, with their stories engr...

“Please insert the right formula”

Image
Me: you know, it’s so damn hard to get your life figured out, to calculate the right plans and the right amount of trust in the pace while maintaining a pretty good share of correct decisions and rationale. Me: How is adulthood done again?  Life: " ignores all text" Life: *Please insert the right formula to proceed forward*

Humans on different orbits

Image
You know what the problem is, some of us try as hard as we can, and with as much amount of troubles we endure between each other, ones that would have no significant meaning in a certain amount of time, to connect and let the positive nostalgic parts of us conquer; we realize that life is too short and we don’t wait until it’s too late to meld our hearts. We understand that through these self-exploratory phases we go through and the times of uncertainty and self-loss, we ultimately hurt people closest to us, without having that actual intention, only because life has threw us on different planets at that certain phase, leaving us in a place where we can’t seem to find a connecting point or a similar language for communication, therefore, we end up as aliens trying to understand each other, but there is no translation app that could get us both, leaving us with more losses and emotional scars. Beautifully enough, things don’t have to end up this way, If only we can under...

Cross-legged in an unorthodox race

Image
                       In hopes of coming out of this crisis with one foot standing still next to the other, the business world has us cross-legged until dawn chasing work like there is no tomorrow. Tasks are endless, and the marathon we are running has no clear ending point, we find ourselves in an unorthodox race wearing work cardigans from above and worn-out pineapple pj's from below, there are water stations but we have no time to jump in to one and hydrate, we are running with everyone around us with no clear instructions to whether what’s coming up is a hill or a hole. It is truly uneasy the pressure put to the human body currently, psychologically we are not accustomed to this amount of change and fast-paced pressure that our brain is sometimes choosing to ignore the truths as an escape, and this massive amount of information absorbed within has us overwhelmed by the end of the day, it’s a physical toll as our anc...

Unveiled questions in a veiled crisis

Image
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...

Your date with a dusty book

Image
When stumbling upon a dusty book, Certain words grab your thoughts, and get  directly tied to your brain. These words do not only start to make sense;  they diffuse into the questions you ask yourself on daily basis, and get your heart pounding for answers that you have been wishing you had encountered before. Certain wordings act like a middle man between the war of your conscious and subconscious mind;  and inevitably paint a pathway of ease, unlocking compartments filled with skeletons, and questions around topics which have been yearning for a touch.

Reflection in silence

Image
At moments of silence, Your body is at rest and your mind is all yours uninterrupted,  You pace your waves peacefully and into your core. You close your eyes and you feel urges,  Urges that beg you to listen. It is at moments of silence that you connect back with yourself again,  And right there at that moment; You learn to make harmonious choices with your body and brain.
