It's There. And Then It's Not

-

Crumpled-paper-that-looks-like-a-jewel
Bringing my hand towards the ever-sparkling jewel,
I try holding it, only to find it disappear.
The elusive jewel leaves the trap of my hand
Every time I find it there.
I try chasing it with all my might,
But it would at times fade away from my sight.
I know it's there,
But then I know it's not.

It took some time and a great deal of effort,
To learn that certain things aren't worth
The chase and the desire to achieve.
That certain things just make us believe
In the outer beauty; but we have been told:
All that glitters is not gold.
The extremely materialistic things we stress over
Don't mean to bring our destination nearer.

The happiness we chase is like the illusion,
That I tried to chase
It comes to us and then leaves, no matter what the reason.
Learn to accept it all as a phase,
Because capturing it has no point;
Just like sand,
It slips out of our hand,
And however much we try,
We cannot hold on to it while the days pass by.
We know it's there
But the next moment it's not.

The sadness and troubles,
The confusions and uncertainties,
The terrifying things that we run away from.
Why don't we realise
That running away isn't helping us?
Negativities will find its way to us.
Escaping isn't the option here.
When we come to terms with them,
Things get better right there.

The people who leave us
The people who do not influence us
To get better and better,
Are the people who do not matter.
When we let them leave
It's easier to happily live.
We find them there for a moment,
The other moment, they aren't there.

Things happen.
They have a beginning, and then they end.
Good things start and end,
Just like bad things do.
Good people come and leave,
So do the people we never asked for.
This is the pattern of things.
Disappointment comes easier
When we try working against a pattern.

Instead of trying to get all materialistic things,
Let's work on being a better person.
Let's learn to accept our situation
The way it exactly is.

There's no war of life without
Having the right arms and the right thought.
Because, when all the materialistic things fade away,
The minimalistic things and the right people and our qualities stay.
Because, all of the elusive things have this quality:
One moment it is there,
The other moment it is not.

 Keep Smiling! 😊

For All That Matters

Puzzle pieces It's amazing how time has its ways of making us go through so many moments. The beautiful ones, the strange ones, the scaring ones, the ones that break us, and also the ones where we don't know what's going on. Add all these and that's our lives. It's also amazing how so many of those moments make us a different person. Is it for the good or bad? Well, doesn't it depend on how we decide to work with it? For a moment, let yourself to think. Is it not strange that it's not only the good moments bring the best out of us, but the bad ones might make us know more about ourselves by making us hit the rock bottom? Is it not strange that it's not the bad moments alone that can pull us down, but the over-the-top feelings we have after a good moment, the arrogance after a victory, the over-confidence after a success? Really strange it is. On further thoughts, I realise that it has to do with me, and not the good and the bad momen...

The Trail Of Thoughts: From Your Jealousy To My Strength

The human brain is so complex. How do all of us have the same structure of brains but still think so diversely? The same brain structures, and yet I might absolutely like something but someone else can hate it! A Portrait Of A Head Of A Human Being The human brain is the centre of all human emotions. Basic information. You know, just in case you thought it's the heart. All those emotions of happiness and sadness, and anger and hate and love, jealousy. It's all in your brain. While I name jealousy beside every other feeling, there's something interesting. This feeling of jealousy isn't a distinct feeling. Jealousy can actually encompass every emotion. What emotions you ask? Happiness, sadness, anger, hate, love, disappointment, self-loathing, and what not? You might feel happy doing something you love , and that might induce jealousy in me. This will make me hate you. Whenever you will try interacting with me politely, it may lead to scenarios...

3 Truths We Absolutely Need To Know

Flowers Aren't Always Glossy, Just Like Some Truths Having spent nineteen years on this planet that we call home, I won't really say that this duration is enough to take a jibe at the processes of life, however much I might feel compelled to do that. I mean that is kind-of my coping mechanism. Still. I cannot really try preaching what “I think” life has in store for any of us. For the simple reason of not having enough knowledge about it. However, being the super-intelligent person that I think I am, I can list down three truths which you might want to know, much better said, you have to know. So here is the list! 1. What happens when you try pleasing everyone? You lose yourself. Why is such an obvious thing here? Because people do not understand the vicious cycle they are getting themselves into once they try meeting those demands. What vicious cycle? Suppose you have a friend you love immensely. It turns out that they don...
