The Sun and the Moon

 I think the Sun is a girl, and the moon is a boy. Everyone associates feminine qualities with the moon and masculine qualities with the sun. But I feel like the moon is a guy. 

The Moon, with all of his flaws and imperfections, is accepted, admired and doted on by everyone. His flaws and imperfections are what make him beautiful. People always love the moon, no matter how flawed he is. 

Whereas the Sun is hated for being herself, and shining bright because she is a star. She is disliked on the days she shines brighter than anything else. People love her only till her light doesn't discomfort them. The second she gets too bright everyone stops liking her, even though it is her light that makes the moon shine, and without her, life wouldn't exist as we know it. 

I hope we stop disliking things just because they shine too bright and learn to accept them with their flaws too.

 I have always wanted to be a person like the heroes in the books, born with an innate purpose and perfection at something. So far, I have failed to be one. We also know the legendary stories of real people who were born to be great at something. Even as children, they seemed to excel at it, as if it was in their blood, their DNA, embedded in their core. Kassandra the Eagle Bearer, Eragon Shadeslayer, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter. They all have, so to speak, an inherent capability because of who they were born to. They had it in their blood  to have those abilities.  However, what many people don't realise is that it's rare. People like that are literally one in thousands, if not millions. I even know people who push their kids to "find their passion" very early in their lives. They want them to find something they're amazing at, not realising that most of us are not born  with an innate ability, but we have to learn it through practice and experience. This is al...

December

 It has been so long since I wrote anything, let alone this blog. This year has been full of ups and downs. The ups were euphoric while the downs were hellish, and sitting between this chaos was my inner voice. She kept trying to make me understand the meaning of it all, the purpose of it all, the answer to it all; if only I had the guts to listen to her. I spent months and months trying to control everything in my life, my environment, my thoughts, my feelings, only to realize that there is nothing in my control, not even my mind. The only thing I can control is my actions and my reactions to the world around me. I cannot change or control the world around me. I can only control how I perceive and how I respond to it. The only control is through surrendering to the universe around you. Let your thoughts run wild, let yourself feel life to the fullest. Let the pain inside your heart, let the wounds overwhelm you. Let yourself live .  Here I am, sitting on a lonely December nig...

Pain is a Blessing

 You don't realise that you are still bleeding from past wounds till something tries to hold that part of you again. You forget about the wound until you realise it never really healed completely. I have been reminded of many wounds I considered healed over the years. But one day or the other, something would strike that place again, only for me to learn how to care for it properly; instead of trying to lock it away somewhere far from the reach of my mind.  I, for one, dreaded the haunting task of reviving my ghosts, fearing their chokehold on me. I was repelled by the idea of reliving the past in fear that I would lose myself in there, I would never come out of those woods alive. I feared the pain that reached the very fibre of my being with every breath I took in the graveyard of my heart.  The fear washed away with the realisation that pain is an inevitable part of our lives, it is there to make us feel alive. Pain shows us the parts that still need our love and care f...
