THERE IS NO ALONE — What I Learned by Almost Dying

One of my best friends and I have had a disagreement for years. He’s always held fast to Orson Welles’ dictum: “We’re all born alone . . . and we all die alone.” Me? I don’t buy it. The born-alone, die-alone line strikes me as aphoristic…

Life as an expat in Singapore

Exchange Student

Two years ago I decided to pack up all that was home and leave the city where I had been crafting my identity for 20 years. The intention was to step out of the current for a while. To reconnect with nature and family. To see what would happen outside of routine and obligation and all the other…

Solitary Pain and Pleasure

5th Dec 2015 morning 5:30 AM, I was inside my dreams of wilderness while I was awakened by ringing of my phone. It was a friend trying to be an alarm clock in the morning which kept on snoozing until I found myself off of my bed. I was struggling of running nose, cramp on my right…

On my mind lately have been money and things

Moving from the luxuries of your parents’ home to a bunk bed in a small bedroom with 7 other dudes sounds scary. Let’s not even go into the implications of this house being taken off the market for more permanent Bay Area resident hopefuls.

This is a Stupidly Happy Comic About the Very Real Pain of Heartbreak

“ To love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an…

Stalker

We met once before, I overheard your name
I think you like the same things as me

Dancing

I was at this place the other day, when I noticed a slightly overweight couple walk past me. They took their place on the dance floor when the music came on with a sharp unsk-unsk-unsk-usnk; and then the bass dropped.

Reflections in Recovery

I found another great meeting tonight. It is a wonderful thing to be in a room full of brave individuals who give there strength by sharing their struggle.

I haven’t been writing for a while. Life gets in the way. That and bad wifi, plus being on tumblr all the time reblogging artsy shit. I forced myself to sit here and actually make an effort.

Are you OK ?

Life is hard. I wish it wasn’t, but it is.

Dear Tina Fey,

I love you. You make me the happiest woman, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don’t, like, want to marry you (although in complete honesty I’d thoroughly consider that proposal if you were into it), but I want to have you with me always. Let me…

The Pain of Paranoia

Have you ever felt the paranoia of simply not being enough? It’s not toward anyone in particular, but rather it is the kind that continuously rests inside you. And you love it.

Simple writing depicts a profound experiencing. We are living in the world of fast pace changing, where people skip steps, shortens words.. And finally found that we are locked up, and lost in an unspeakable world. Only writing can help relieve the pains and burdens!

The Working Class Homeless Man

A Trial

The long path is cobbled and uneven, sun blinding and wind fierce.

Hill upon hill, the ghosts of your own life guide you, mislead you.

Voices from beyond whisper goodbye, shouts from behind scream to go on.

The first lie

How do you see past that?

Personally I’d rather you didn’t tell me something than lie.

I don’t tell lies especially when dating.

So when the first lie popped up, I was wretched.

To Dominate In Life You Need More Than Mindset

This is inspiring. For someone like me, who always waits for the right time to write, it comes as a blunt reminder that it won’t happen until I start.

Also, could you elaborate on this society? It sounds interesting, and I am not sure if any of such society exist back here in India.

On Evaluating Time

I’ve been thinking a lot about this sought after commodity we call “time”. Time in reference to the ability to step back and really analyze how I currently spend every minute of it outside of work and determine ways I can make better use of it.

Muitas coisas ocorreram, mas não posso dizer que este foi um bom ano – na verdade, seria um dos piores anos. Mas tudo possui seu lado bom. Perdi pessoas que eu amava e aprendi a amar outras, talvez não entre na categoria de “ano ruim”, mas sim de “ano com mudanças” ou melhor…

Do bad things happen mostly to good people ?

Well, I have somewhat been in favour of the above question every time I am entangled in situations where you give your best shot and yet all you receive is misery and dissatisfaction. This happens to me majorly at the workplace.

Thankful that God gave me the will power to push forward and not coward down. I have been out Christmas shopping and listening to people complain of issues that aren’t really problems.

PERFECTIONIST

Are you a perfectionist?
Does it cause stress?
Take you out of Flow?
Can you find the beauty in imperfection?

She awoke to the horrific news. She was appalled at herself. Her heart ached, not due to grief or sorrow, but because it was unsympathetic. Her impassiveness was more detestable than the act itself.

Reading about such sad and influential topics here I conclude my issues are not even the slightest important and I hope the world to be a better and a place where people can live in Peace and tranquility and also with trust and I happiness

Iam sure one day this “Will be” possible may be not in my time but others it maybe. I…

Finals and trying

14 December 2015

So today finals started, and even though I’m pretty damn sure I’m not gonna be able to fix any of my B’s, I still feel like I’d regret it if I didn’t at least give it a shot. Like McMurphy said, “At least I tried.”

You are born into the social norms that existed at that time. Most often you grow up within those same norms. Even if those norms evolve, its usually quite slowly. If you wish to get on within that society then it is wiser to stick within the norms. When you become older, then you are wiser to forget them and live within the principles you establish…

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Glory to God ☺

Perhaps,love is always around us. Maybe,the one love you is just living next door.

Only the strong will survive!

I like this sentence. Thank you for sharing this. I am three months away to be 1/4 century old. Sometime i do feel bad if i don’t push myself further. The balance is important. And i will try to stop rushing.

Not that simple

You have put all my thoughts into perfect words. I’m still waiting to find that 3 hour break to find my balance!!

The Ring

The moment flashed, in the blink of an eye,

The gesture small, yet truly mine.

Yet I saw it then, and I see it now,

A moment of weakness, our hearts are bound.

Enjoyed the read.. Resonates with what I went through..

IT’S OK TO BLEND IN AND EVEN GREATER TO STAND OUT

It’s quite funny how the world can just toss you around and pull you back and forth just to selfishly…

So people ask what I regret and this is what I tell them I don’t regret what I did in the past all I regret is the things I didn’t do when I had the chance because the past who you are now and if you change the past you change who you are as a person now and that’s not all ways a good thing so remember the past is a story we tell ourselves

I feel these things in myself but I don’t see much of them in the world around me. I hope that changes.

Breaking into Cold Sweats

I tried…as irritable as I am getting through Day 4. My hands were shaking so damn hard — I had no control over the trembling. But the worst of it all is when I started sweating for no apparent reason. My palms are not known to sweat unless I am nervous and today they were rivers and…

The majority feel as the op does. We just need to be more vocal about it. Or political leaders need to speak up and embrace all Americans, not just the ones ‘like us’.

Peace be with you.
