The Secret Of The Night We Tend To Overlook

The stars have become a cliché; there's more to the night that we don't see. Here's to it!

“Without darkness, the stars couldn’t shine and without the stars, the darkness couldn’t be defined.”

The sun grew tired and went off to sleep, but the night stood awake to reveal a secret of the earth that we humans cannot easily see. As the night broke out, I lay on my bed, half-asleep, wondering what a curse it is for the night to be cherished only for its bright stars but not what it actually is.

The darkness that the night surrounds us with is not actually as dark as it seems. We take less time to think than we do to judge. The stars look bright, don’t they? But there’s something else that has a bigger hand in this. Of course, it alone couldn’t do that much; it takes more than just a beam of light to shine. And it’s nothing but darkness. There’s beauty when things are dark. Being caught up in all the hustles of our lives and finding ways to fight it. It gives us a basis to realize what indeed is good and better. We realize that being in pain gives us the power to endure and hope to live.

A Different Route Towards Salvation

We hope to live longer and happier, we hope for the best in our lives, we create happy times and forget how to live with the bad ones. Once we find ourselves struggling, we splatter, we hate. We want to iterate, yet with our conduct, we only take a step further in this vicious cycle.

Having enough time to ruminate, only make things worse. With the urge to penetrate out of it, we rather give in to it, we shall not, for once fight hard, we shall for once take time to struggle, to realize that we live amidst angst, we live in what we have and what we have been given.

Give time to what has come to you. Don’t be chaos for you already have enough of it. Have patience, give it time, let yourself struggle, and find ways to move out, at just the right time. Feel it, make it yours; talk to it and slowly sought things out, write about it, for these words will be cherished by all, speak about it and you shall feel free after all.

An Empty Past And a Lively Present

“Consume the present and the future will feed you itself! ”

Each day we meet something new, something strange. We are innocent to the new things that we gain, every day. We wake up feeling good, bad, or just enough fine to get through the day. We have no purpose, we have no necessity of becoming something we don’t know about. We simply just wake up.

Each day we leave our yesterday behind, who we were is now gone, we are not bound to something, we don't have anything of compulsion, of something we have to be. What we have indeed is today, we have what we want, today, we become what we want, today. No yesterday shall enforce you to endure something that you have lost in time, no past has the power to speak of you. You want what you want, but only today.

What Is Your Purpose

Each day you have nothing and then the will to have everything all at once!

There’s enough time to lose and regain what you possessed back. Don’t rush, stay; don’t be stumped, feel. You lose to learn, you fall to stand up again, you get lost to find yourself the perfect way. What you are and what you have, is for a reason. There’s just enough time to give all and feel empty and get all and feel fulfilled. Be patient, be aware, and mostly be you, of today!

Conclusion

All you require to live is just a body, a mind, and the world—till you have it live happily, carefree and unencumbered. Travel, eat, play, sit at home, sleep or do anything different than any of those but only on the basis of today.

A present lived happily will surely manifest a good future.

Take no worries for the past has been erased; No God has an SD card to save it. Live today, live for the hope of tomorrow, your future and family and yourself, of course, but don't live in the past or for the past. You exist to cause you are alive today and since you live today.
