End of the road
Maybe its dim, maybe its bright. A smile sends and takes a thousand lights.
If life is a disc, we are at its edge, spinning to no end. Sometimes its too fast, pushing our gut to the bend. Life is just a constant fluctuations of centripetal force, huh?
Aren’t we all hanging to something?
Aren’t we all a place someone to hang?
We are spinning, wobbling through space and time. We crawl underneath the nature of spirit and solace. Our chest is powered by tides of breath and the sun sets to keep us awake.
We are flying through the street lights and the crowded train stations until we are tired. Eventually we will roll inside the room we secretly despise.
We think we are free, or are we free? Free will is just an act to choose a set of options we dont have power to make.
Dont be shivering, tonight is the blanket of tantalising misdeed and disdain. A celebration of failures and betrayals. Consider it as a check point before resuming your marathon.

Feelings are probably the very essence of life. Sure its sad, angry, lonely, stressed, depressed sometimes but it makes us able to put meanings into something. It transcends layers of consciousness. It let us have an instagram account connected to everyone we think we know just to secretly hate. Moreover, we are able to put meaning to life itself.
Who are we when we search for meaning.
Our binocular is fixed at the faraway land searching for birds that dont exist, using drones to map things thats broken. No satelit could find who you are, my dear.
I understand, looking back to the piles of reminiscences is hurting, but there’s always something to learn.
When a dew droped from the tip of a leaf, the root beneath it propagate to embrace the oasis. Do you think it knew if the dew will ever fall?
Not really.
So do we.
No one knows what happen at the end of the road.
No matter how good your camera is, no matter how far the plane can take you, there is always a distance between each of us.
Smile is somewhat like glucose molecules. Its attractive and sticky enough to pull people closer.
“Smile, so the world would smile with you”, they say.
Well actually, after all the sweets are gone, the quote becomes, “frown so the world will laugh at you”.

As the rain comes from a violent repulsive invisible sorcery called electrons in the clouds, nobody cares. We dont give a single clap for it, do we?
Thats what happened with a struggling soul. They pour rain to nourish other but themselves.
I know you, or at least most of it.
Your smile means the rain, it means all the mesmerising stars to the grass on your back yard. When you laugh at someone’s cringey jokes, you make them feel like they can take down the world alone. Know why?
Because you are their world already.
The simplest twitch in your dimple flows a flood to someone’s vein. You have the power to take care of someone without letting them feel any less. You matter, you are not holding on for nothing.
