Gratitude

 As this year I had vowed to have a rise in positive thoughts in my mental system, I have seen the stones turn around. This doesn't mean that I do not have my lows anymore, but for sure I feel that am attracting positive energy and a lot of laughs. Thus, as the month is ending I decided to jot down a pretty list of things I am grateful for.

I am grateful for the opportunities I had, 
Grateful for the people who pushed me down,
Thankful for the ones who made me smile, 
For they made me see all who I could be,
And the all who I wasn't till then.

I am grateful for I am better, because of my experiences,
Thankful that I know the worth of the small things,
Am glad I know how precious friends are,
And that I cherish every single phone call.


I am glad that God gave me a chance,
To see how beautiful life is,
When you are around people who are full of lush,
And who are full of laughter.

You know what I am happier about?
That I want to keep my friends so close,
for I lost them once and can't fathom losing again.
Grateful for the cheer they give out.

Life is so brilliant, especially for the good books,
It is brilliant for the good memories,
Don't you love the feel of stroking your hands,
on a book you thought you had lost?

I am grateful for I feel this positivity,
Has made me realize of the immaturity,
And that I have the strength to grow,
More so than a bunch of people who are fake.

Gratitude that I think I am wiser to judge,
Judge people for what they want and who they are,
And get away from them when I sense it. 
Thankful that I learned the art.

More so, I am thankful that I don't hope as much,
I just live, one moment at a time.
I am grateful that I realized, life is in the now,
In making your present stronger and lively.
so that I remain grateful in future as well...

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but

You can't pass off as 18 anymore, can you?

Woh! I had one hefty weekend with my friend, who I was able to enjoy with after almost three years! Yeah, we met in between the years but it was either for only a few hours or something was upsetting about our life. Well, but this time around we had immense fun. We went out partying, and the next day to the campus where we spent all our time together few years ago, and realized how far we have come. We are two changed individuals, knowing how to carry ourselves in a better way than what we did in college. We can't pass of as 18 anymore, where we had a billion insecurities about ourselves and no clue where our life will go. We never thought much about ourselves and now we have a self-esteem which can't go wrong. Then. (2011) Now. (2017) Do we really look any different? Yet we are! The tattoo talks, the hair color talks and the talks about getting another piercing were not what we talked about "all the time".I was just checking out an article regarding t

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.
