28 doesn’t mean late

-


Within this year and couple of months of lockdown, my brain made more conversations with itself than any other human kind, it rolled over the carpets and started dusting out all the fears and triggers into one bed to sleep in, it made a rollercoaster out of engraved emotions and took a deep dive into the lake of “life-meaning scenarios”, This year did not make it easy for words to come out, as if it took the warnings of spitting to an extreme sport and banned words along the line. 


What i mean to say is, each one of us has faced their angels and demons in this year and has danced around on fire more than they hoped they would, the walks down memory lane burnt our feet but made the roadway in our minds a much clearer one at its very end.


What i mean to say is, i came to realize the essential needs of my safety and fulfillment, the triggers to my fears and how to break free from my cages, i came to know that i am not too much or too little, and what i feel is valid and what i dislike is up to me to respond to and resolve, i came to realize that trust, transparency, and genuine care are the three gems and came to refuse boundary breakers or the smallest hints of disrespect.


What i mean to say is, i have turned 28 this year and it is not too late; for the common perceptions of where i stand in relationships or career or bodyweight or personality, there is no end line that i reach and win, life is a healthy metric of ongoing ups and downs and your consistency, discipline, strength and resilience are the ones keeping you close to that line every single day, and failing to reach that metric 100% does not make you any less of a person or value and does not associate with your worth or what you deserve.


What i mean to say is, our minds work on the concept of reward systems impatiently waiting to achieve the next big thing and move to the next nicer place and finish the next impressive milestone, this is all essential to our self-growth and to widening our horizons and mental capacity, but the real reward comes down to the little smiles we impulsively make when taking these good little sighs feeling all safe & settled while laying on a good old sofa winking at the magical irony of the universe.


And hey, 28 rhymes with so many other words than late.. 

so maybe let’s not get stuck on that one and take a test drive on fate and the great ones waiting!

Do you think that it is considered plain stupidity? to pour yourself into the people you love? desperately wanting to be held and heard so that you don't become this overflowingly emotional individual who can burst at any sudden moment?  Is it stupid that you want to share your emotions for them to make some kind of sense when they are just too heavy to hold? But do you realise that it's the reason you've been hurt every single damn time, dropped down to tears on your knees, begging yourself to stop pouring and start filling.  Does it make any sense? to not share emotions and only share memories?.. Do you become less of a complete person if you share your feelings and they get filled in the wrong vase of a human? or is it actually brave to talk about hurt and love and lust and life until your smile cracks and your cheeks hurt?  At least maybe the feeling of sharing means caring and not so much as a future self-scaring of potentials and revenge and all the ugly in the world.

Old vs. New

How do you grieve your old selves? Do you create new ones that replace the old ones.. or do you paint over some scars and memories with fresh paint; hiding all that is underneath like a renewed building that has survived a fire?  Or do you just toss these memories in a box and keep them in a faraway corner that gets dustier with time until it’s too unhygienic to reach or unravel?  What happens to memories, pain, laughter, and life incidents?  And who gets to choose their destiny?  And why are the memories that scarred your heart easier to reach than any other happy ones in the side-corners of your brain?  Does pain come in brighter colours than laughter?  Who answers these questions?  And who will help you in burning these boxes to ashes to get the courage to paint all over them again?

Mind your own damn fruits.

I was never the kind of person who paid real attention to the actions of others, or lack of actions per se. I would go through the days with the effortless pace of a tree that is trying to find its path through the soils, hyped up and all excited to go! You come to realize with time, that this growing tree will face many other roots in its way down-under, ones that flow with it perfectly, others that cut it off but with no real intention for harm, and some others, oh well.. you know. This tree grew to better understand boundaries and positions of power - as sad as that sounds, the idea that even if your next-door chillest tree in town wants to cut cross your way, you simply can’t and won’t let it, just because it is your personal space and that is enough reason. You start noticing the toxicity of intentional acts, and what effort truly means, what genuine behaviors are, and the energy levels that you have reserved in you the minute you meet and the second you leave, the ease you feel w
