Harmonious Solitude!

Peace. Tranquillity. The rustling of leaves on the mountain top, conveying a secret message. Butterflies flying from flower to flower giving an insight to their freedom. Birds chirping without a worry in the world. The cool breeze placing soft kisses upon my cheek.Peace. Breathing in and out seems to cleanse my soul in a wondrous way, making my vision clearer, sharper. My thoughts are not the noisy hurricane anymore. They’re a calm and steady voice that tells me exactly what I want instead of making me confused – suicidal.

This loneliness is not bad. It’s a soul nurturing, mind clearing, making-you-feel-good-about-yourself isolation. It’s this emptiness that makes me realise all that I’ve been missing out in life. I’ve been living my life for others for a long time, for the people  who will never be able to see what I do for them, never be able to appreciate the presence of a true friend.. It just makes giving my life to them so pointless. When the sacrifices you make for others turn your life upside down, only them you’ll get the maturity needed to stand up for yourself and do something meaningful with your life, and for once make some decisions to make yourself happy and not be miserable every second of the day.

So I’m putting all my worries behind and looking forward to a new future, where I’m not answerable to anyone and I get to make all decisions on my own, shape my life the way I want to. New passion, new goals. It’s like I’ve been born again, getting a second chance at everything. The road I’m following now with my head held high is the one I’m making on the way to reach where I want to be. Life just seems so worth living!

Lies? Or painful truth?

When you lie to people, people will lie to you. And it's a vicious cycle. Everyone lies to everyone. No one in today's world gives out their true feeling. Why do people lie? Why do they hide their true selves?

I think, it's the fear of judgement, criticism, and most importantly, losing something or someone. We all have that need to feel accepted and be acknowledged in the society. We cannot accept being disapproved by the people around us. It's getting more and more important for us to be liked by everyone. But the truth is, people don't care who you are. They will always judge you and criticise you, they'll always find something bad to say about you as long as you're not comfortable being who you are. As long as you keep doubting yourself, they will talk. And the only way they'll respect you is that you start respecting yourself and not try to become what they want you to be. Because they will always want more.

And as for losing things or people? Always remember that you'll end up losing that which is not meant to be yours, whether you were honest or not. If it's meant to be, your honesty cannot take it away from you. And if it's not meant to be, there's nothing you can do keep it forever.

So what if everyone told the truth? What if everyone would be painfully honest and save all the trouble? Lives would be so much better, and not to mention -easy and peaceful. We won't have to hide behind fake selves thinking "what will people say?" Why can't we be ourselves and be recognised and accepted for that? Why does it have to be so complicated all the time? We're the ones making it hard for ourselves and others and all we gotta do is make it simple.

Be true. Be yourself. Be loved!

Drops of darkness…

Has rain ever made you sad?
It's like white noise. Some sort of filled silence. 
Sometimes it soothes me; 
calms the storm of my thoughts and heals my heart. 
But sometimes it brings out the darkness. 
My heart feels so heavy, for no reason at all, 
I feel like letting my own raindrops out. 
The clouds covering my heart beg to pour 
But some unknown force keeps them from doing so. 
That unknown force; the warmth of care, the glow of love, the presence of the One. 
Those infinite yet finite moments of utter peace and satisfaction. 
Yes! Nothing is ever completely dark.
