Jardin

Life is a garden.

God's garden.

And all of us are just flowers.

Planted by him.

He lets us grow.

At our own paces.

And to our own extents.

He already knows what we will bloom into.

So except for occasional weeding,

And the daily watering,

He only sits back and watches.

As we grow, wither.. and fall.

But sometimes

He sees a flower so beautiful

Perfect, vibrant, and like no other flower he has ever grown before.

So lovely that even He gets tempted

And plucks the flower... when in full bloom.

He keeps it with him from then on

Like a proud child displaying a prize in his room

And we are left behind

Living in the fragrance

Of that beautiful flower

Of you.

Depeche

Life waits for noone.

Love waits for nobody either.

But they do not run hand in hand.

Life is love's treadmill, forever moving.

And love runs on life's course,

Faster, slower, steeper and lower.

Without the power to manually change the speed

Unknowing what comes next

A speed so fast that love does not have the time to slow down

And check

Check if there are stones that might hurt her

Or maybe a weed to trip on

Love waits for nobody

Because she already knows

She knows who she is running to

And life is just the path that she has to take

to fulfill her destiny

So when you're broken

Love lost

and bitter

Just remember this:

Do not run behind the guy who will not wait for you

Do not wait for the guy who refuses to catch up with you

Love is like a partner dance- you let go, move away and they come swiftly to you. Then they let go, and you gracefully pull them back.

This pattern keeps happening in turns, forever.

Mutual dependency

Never one sided

So

Be with the guy who slows down when he sees you lagging behind

The guy who you slow down for, when you don't see him

Running by your side

Because you realized....that you want him to

New Year

The last year had been pretty hard. Quite a roller coaster ride. Good things followed by sharp bad turns. Turns out that I was right all along- nothing is permanent, karma kicks your ass real hard and the only answer to this crazy cycle is to stop, breathe, take a step away, and watch it from stands.

What do I mean? Well- the sole way to be happy is to quit expecting things, quit getting attached and most importantly, quit being what people want you to be.

Bystanders are never left scathed by the fire of the track. It is the racers, hoping, dreaming and wishing who end up getting burnt by the heat of their desires. Oh, yes, and by that of the other racers as well. The faster you go, the harder you try, the closer you get to having your heart wrenched.

Loss is the one thing in the world that really cannot be compensated for.

Maybe it's time to let go.

This new year- I resolve to do just that.

Starting with the "easy" trivial things:

I resolve to eat healthier.

To exercise more.

To laugh harder.

And let no one claim me his own.

I resolve to be detached

Let nothing affect me- people, thing or circumstance.

To leave no word unsaid. To speak my mind, wear my heart on my sleeve.

I resolve to give in to pain.

To stop pretending that things are okay.

And let healing take its natural course.

I resolve to spend more time with my family.

Because they need me more than anyone else.

I resolve to change what I cannot accept and accept what I cannot change.

However, I also resolve not to forgive easily, and to always hold my own.

I resolve to feel better about myself.

Stop being so critical about how I look.

About how I feel.

And most of all, how others make me feel.

I resolve to discover the happiness in every moment.

A smile, the rain... or even just a nearby squirrel.

I resolve to stop and linger, instead of just passing the moment by.

It is the little things that truly make me happy.

I resolve to stop wanting, and watch things fall into place.

I resolve to stop searching and let my destiny find me.

A fly on the wall.

Just like you were.

So happy.
