Contradiction

It's funny how human beings can be so contradictory. Every single one of us. We're in such a hurry to grow up, and then we long for our lost childhood. We tell people not to do this and that but then slap ourselves back for doing what we told others not to. We make ourselves ill earning money, and then spend all the money on getting well again. We think and worry so much about the future that we neglect the present, and therefore, experience neither the present nor the future. We live as if we were never going to die, and die as if we had never lived.

Grab It

This place is full of uncertainties, unfairness and disgust. You wonder why is it so hard to have things your way, when you most need them to. Questions and more frustrations invade your brain. And for the 548th time you let this big wave of pessimism embrace yourself. You feel like you are pushed to a corner asking why other people have better luck and choices than you. Why? Why not, you hear someone asks. It seems like the world keeps spinning around, not caring about you, about your little wonders and queries. It ignores you. You wonder if it's because the world is too busy to counsel everyone. Or because the world doesn't wait for you to wake up and start figuring out what you really want. Or perhaps, it merely needs you to understand how everyone leads a different life and how grateful you should be with yours. Master your own path.

The 8th Night

Contemplating the fireworks with you was amazing. Watching those sparkling colorful lights dancing in the dark, for almost 15 minutes, made me realize how certain beautiful things were brief... but how one unpredictable sweet kiss was the begining of a path for a lifetime together.
