NOTE TO SELF #2016



Turn the night lights off. The things that scare you do not live in the dark. Wear the moonshine on your hipbones, do not let lovers get drunk off you unless they speak tsunamis, too. You will learn this the hard way; you became condensation when you were meant to be thunder. Now you are sky. Your heart is not a bomb. Plant it wisely, utilised what you do and don’t know if its beat, do not settle for the bruise of tribal music you are not passionate about. There are drums in your ribs for a reason. If you must, take them out yourself and be your own rhythm. Remember to put them back in after. Or don’t. You know the romance of one-way tickets well. Leave yourself where yourself wishes to be left, do not over think. Leave room in your wrists for the things you can’t take with you. There will be plenty, trust me. If you leave empty handed, make sure your knees are dirty. The earth made you its child for a reason and every city’s soil grows new seeds in your spine. One day your courage will thank you for believing in it. A reminder. Your pulse is a typhoon, carry it open-palmed and inebriated. Let it breathe when you fear it will destroy. It won’t. It needs you more than you need it.

An Extrovert's Introvert Cheek

I was never an introvert by choice. I guess my repeated failures in human inter action, failing to meet socially acceptable standards was also not a choice.

Sometimes extroverts like me also has another side of its cheek, its not as if my face has a sign that says "SHE is an extrovert. She always laughs when needed (seldom not needed, but still), says Joke when appropriate, and even curses when she feels like it. She is an extrovert, binded by the surface in which her soul belongs too, that when you are a big person you must always be the laughing stock or you must always be a clown or that she wont feel the half truth in every joke you said. Yes She is an extrovert. Funny. But still complicated." yes i guess that’s the sign all people i know see in me, but deep within my angst and humour i guess the (quote)" intelligent...

The world, The wonder

Beneath my Feet's View by BananaChipsLoveStory's N It never ceases to amaze me what the layers of this world holds, deeper beauty lies behind every crack in the pavement. Below the murmur of a crowd, a symphony. A smile from an elderly woman at the bus stop is more than mismatched teeth and wrinkled skin, it is more beautiful than the Mona Lisa herself (Perhaps that is why she grins so knowingly?) All we have to do is Stop. Close our eyes and our preconceptions of the mundane mask of our surrounds, listen to the laugh. To the chirp. To the wind as it teases the branches of a tree that has seen more than any of us care to have noticed. The way the light plays against a discarded tin can as it rolls down the gutter has more elegance than the brightest rainbow, these arcs of mist-bent light are far too showy and arrogant. The tin can’s glitter is fragile and fleeting, better to witness it’s rarity and marvel at the man made dancing with nature Behold the...
