Inspiration is an amusing concept. I never knew I could get inspired from a tiny sparkle of light to think about moments of life and death. All of us find inspiration in a number of things.

A Mirage
Heartbroken, baffled
Swollen eyes, unsettled mind
Constant thoughts, butchering my heart
Was I wrong, was I unkind

After experiencing life a bit, I have observed that more than often people like to put me in brackets in order to understand me more. Or just to make it easier to deal with everyone else. Like, I know for sure, that most people who have ever met me would like to describe me as the quiet one or nerdy one, or maybe oversensitive one. The world is filled with people putting tags on each other. We always try to define people in mere words. However, we are people and not just things; we change every day. One day you stumble upon a stone and fall, the next day you will learn to watch your step. Some people may change slower than others, but nonetheless, they are changing. And by putting tags we might be limiting ourselves to explore the infinite possibilities in the world awaiting us.

I don’t belong here
I feel the rush to move on
To a better place

Fairy lights always bring back memories of childhood. The good old times when I did not know that terms like environment friendly exist. I was always awestruck by the brilliance of the glittering lights which made everything seem beautiful. Now, I would give away every fairy light to just admire a sky full of stars.

I recently stumbled upon a readers’ block. I had started a new job and it required me to travel three to three and half hours daily. On top of that the work there was really hectic and I only got one day off per week. And as anyone would expect, I spent that one day just sleeping and eating. But I missed books badly.

I still remember that peaceful morning. I woke up with a mission in mind. I did not even care about my looks or about my empty stomach. I still remember those blissful waves to whom i had come to bid adieu. But before that final goodbye, i had a task to accomplish. As you all may have guessed from the picture, the creator of that castle cannot be a professional. But I did not want a grandoise castle nor did i have time for it. I just wanted to create something beautiful when i was at the right place.
When the sea is more than 500 kms away from your town, beaches are always like some magical dreams. No matter how many times you visit them, after each vacation they seem unreal. I was like the happiest person on the beach that morning while collecting the wet sand with my bare hands. Buying tools for my castle seemed childish to me and it was like a waste of money. After all, when will i get a chance to soak my hands in that soft and gritty sand. There were three of us on this mission. They had to agree after listening to my costant blabber about making a castle.

This year, I have witnessed far more lows as compared to highs. I have lost some special people, some childhood innocence and at one point I even lost my willingness to go through this strange experience called life. But the thing that holds utmost importance amid all this is that I survived. If I can survive and come out of this all with a happy face, just imagine how much more can I endure.
And I learned. I learned that not all the battles are won or lost. Some battles just pass by. You just have to hold your ground if you feel you are right. That doesn’t guarantee any victory but you won’t be defeated either. I learned that not all people deserve your selflessness. Because some people just can’t understand that concept. You will have to speak for your own rights and snatch what you deserve from this scary world. Because this world is a lot more scary than I thought. Nobody will even notice if you are drowning in your sadness right before their eyes. So darling, I hope you always remember, you have to be your own superhero.
Treasure Trove
Maybe people change and they always will. Maybe your name will be excluded from their priorities even if you are the most important person to them now. It is really scary sometimes to think that I won’t be sharing my secrets and stories with them anymore. But one thing I learned from these heartbreaks is that I can’t hate people I loved.
So the best way out of all this is to only remember the beautiful memories and be happy. Obviously, nothing lasts forever but we can’t build relationships with an expiry date in mind. But when all your attempts to protect that beautiful relationship fail and it’s only hurting you, it’s better to just leave it as a happy memory. I had read these phrases several times but never understood why people do that. But when it all happened to me, I realized that some relationships are too beautiful to be destroyed by constant repairs to make them work.
Let them be!! Like those antique collections. Not functional but still a treasure. And as we all know those antique and vintage things cost a lot. I almost went broke trying to pay the cost of these beautiful memories. But still I can happily overlook it as I got such a treasure to keep.
Caught up with a cloud
Amisdt the clear blue sky,
That cloud was hanging along the horizon as it caught my eye through the window of the bustling metro.
How calm it must be to be able to sit above all this chaos, of humans running without any end. How happy that cloud must be, to sit miles above. But how did it reach there, that’s another story a hundred worlds apart.
