Midnight Revelations

Wow! Some things in life just leave you speechless. A state where you are tongue-tied for various reasons. You want to speak, say it all out however your brain fails to work in tandem with your voice box to frame your talk. Why certain things happen the way they do, why don't they happen the way we wish they should?

Those answers would have been a game starter. You love, you care, you dream, you bare. When so much is happening, there still exists an element of fear, what if this isn't forever? Maybe the only constant is that there is nothing constant.

You are left to imagine as per free will, no holds barred, none whatsoever.  Yet, is the free flow of thought a reality or a myth. Does freedom exist in the real sense where one doesn't need any permits or bans? Just be and be as you wish.

Who decides our wishes, do we or our situation? Is it the people we love or the people we hate?. Is it the role plays we do or the ones we spare? What is it? A lot of questions crawling in one's head like those termites eating you up slowly and eventually the wall just comes down to zero.

Don't we all start from there? A place which gives us a zone to reboot to just delete and begin again. Beginnings are important and interesting parts of our lives. They bring in the same adrenaline each time maybe in variations of tempo and speed. Yet they do their job of letting one believe that you are a master who can excel and go beyond.

Don't all of us tread real hard through our lives day in and out to go beyond? Do you think, humans would love monotony? Do you think you would love some freeze time where it's you and nothing changes and stays the same? Have you ever thought what would you do then or would you do none?

A whole new spectrum to dealing with life, live in the moment since the moment would pass and you won't be able to hold it. Tides never stop as ocean never sleeps. Have you ever dwelled into what happens when you sleep? Do you think you are asleep with zero processing in your brain and body or do you think you are in a different world?

Wish we would cherish those tiny miniscule attempts of crafting joy, sharing a tear, wiping the fear and shifting the gear of life to keep at it.

A place so wonderful that your imagination would continue to startle you and let you remain there unperturbed and unadulterated. Life baffles us, all you need is experience it with open arms. 

Walking Images

Images of life running like a movie in front of your eyes and all you are trying to do is find yourself in it and the role that you are trying to play each time. Unlike movies, where actors play one role at a time, life lets you experience multiple facets of role-playing and rating yourself at different instances and also learning from it. 

How many of us actually take these roles as they come or fight it out like the kid wishing for that orange colour lollipop hoping his tongue to turn orangy? It has taken me time to realise, accept and play the roles that come my way in a way that maybe nobody else did. Obviously, I am a debut at it each time. So now, coming to these roles and their demands. Do we just do what they expect us or do we twist it as per fantasies or more so our comfort?

Imagination has its way of taking you to a different world. Like, a crazy dream of mine where I am reading the obituary of a very dear friend of mine who lost her life to Cancer. And the twist in the dream was the girl whose obituary I saw was her sister. There was a phase where my friends were telling me, worry not, she is alive. However, once I was up, it took me into another loop of thoughts as to why did I get that dream? Wish, we could find answers to all those questions.

Twenty four hours, 1440 minutes, a second, each moment to feel completely alive, cherish and forever. To gain, to lose, to break free, to hold on - isn't that an ongoing process of finding oneself amongst the crowd? How does one become a believer, a go-getter, an achiever, a giver and not just a mere receiver? An important, impeccable element of one's life consists of giving back in some way to this world, this humongous, marvellous, mammoth that let you experience your tiny little world at your own pace with some borrowed space. Each day, when I wake up, I ask myself, am I doing something in giving back or am I being selfish by taking away whatever I get to safe keep?

Being a child, I was always given values to share and care, to smile and dare, to go forward and play, never to back down and give up. These simple values have built in such an unshakable structure inside that it doesn't agree to let go even when it knows that it might end up ruining everything.

So, the question is, where does one stop and how? How does one ask for help when all through life the lessons learnt were to fight it out and never give up? Apparently, life has its brilliant way of showing that you are just a follower and the remote control is never in your control at least of your life. Thus, the only choice left is to go by what comes and keep moving forward and never look back unless it's to cherish a smile or a memory so divine.x
