Reasons

Are we living to die?

Or dying to live?

Intriguing, isn’t it? How our lives can go from one end of the spectrum to the other in a heartbeat, in an utterance. Let us consider the above, why do we live?

This changes from one point of your life to the other, sometimes drastically. As for me, you get the gist by now, I’m a wreck. I had to smother the reason for which I carried on throughout these arduous years, thinking that if I can kill the fire there will be light. But then again, fire is not the only light source I said to myself, I will eventually find a full moon that will guide me without consuming every inch of my being.

It was dark. The darkness was suffocating and confining so I went to the wise man. Pop some candies he said, 3 per day to become a happy person. Happy?

3 per day to become devoid of any attachments, 3 per day to become numb, 3 per day to kill your ego and return to the masses.

So, I extend my hand to you, will you offer me an accord to get out of this, or will you drag me to the masses? I leave my reasons in your hand, do what you will, but I’m tired…

Friends

-
Ever felt lonely in a crowded room? It is normal to be so, you are after all one in billions of human living on this Earth yet you are unique. So you surround yourself with people with the label ‘friends’ to have a semblance of happiness. But some are fake Some are fucked up Some are inexistent But yet , some are close to the heart. They cannot always be present for you, because just like you are struggling to take a breath each waking hour, did you stop to ask them if they are breathing fine? Selfish aren’t we? At your lowest point, look back at who gave you a shoulder to cry on, or simply a pat on the back to for you to take another step. I do not wish to dictate to you how to live your life, I just want to drag your focus to the point above. Think about it, and then consider how you should approach life. Thank you to the ones who I consider friends and family.

Phobia

 He was plagued by innocence in his daily life. Fun, friends and school, that is all he knew. Life was just a carousel of pleasures, the island offered more to him that he could enjoy. Mortality was just a faraway speck of dust in his mind, for again, he was as naive as children were. Life went on, he constructed a facade for himself, an unconscious shield to the harshness of this world which we call home. He had a guide in life, one that did not ever let go of his frail hands. The almighty shone light on his path, and he pursued this light with fervour, always feeling like he owe these invisible powers something for the positive turns of his life. Yet the embers of his life quickly died out, realisation hit him, life showed its real nasty colors.  His guide and model figure ascended the heavens, he was left alone trodding in the darkness. Everything was sudden, his dreams plummeted faster than everything else.  He woke up to a happy morning, and came home to find t...

The Chemist

  We all had dreams when growing up, some dreamt of becoming pilots, other astronauts. The rollercoaster of life caused some of us to become chemists, whether by choice or not. Chained to their laboratory, experimenting, and forfeiting sobriety. They play the chemist with dull knives till they are on the floor hitting the ceiling and falling off the cliff, tiptoeing in the void, leaving behind a broken Lego house. Staring from the deepest of the deep end up to the world that others live in, searching for the sun but they meet only with unnatural lights that burn their skins to their bone, sharing their ‘sins’ for the people above to point at. They chained themselves consuming their chemistry, till it’s the latter that is consuming them and dictating their moves. We fight off oppression, looking for independence and freedom but we put to the side those that are oppressed by their alter ego, addiction. Should we not extend a hand to help? The society we live in taught us to t...
