In Sane

I have watched stories about elderly people getting dementia or Alzheimer’s disease – it’s kind of heart-wrenching when they forget all the good memories they had, when they forget all the people they loved, and when they cannot do the things they used to do when they were young.
I am afraid of having to experience it – I can’t imagine not knowing all the good things and good people I encountered in my whole life. As young as I am, others deem me as one of the most forgetful people that they know. Forgetfulness has always been in my blood –
“Where’s your key?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Who is he?”
and all I can tell them is, “I’m sorry, I don’t remember anything about what you’re saying.” Or “What’s the question again?” Or 
“I forgot where did I place it.”
It hurts me to see that sudden pain that clouds their eyes when I say these words. They assume that I don’t care about all they said and did for me.
Don’t get me wrong – I remember stuff.
I also remember searching about why I am like this and according to my research, forgetfulness in your 20s indicates that you have been experiencing emotional discord – stress, depression, and sleep deprivation – from these, we get unfocused and distracted, failing to summon memories that have passed.
For sure I’m not the only one having this problem and I’m quite certain that I am not as forgetful as they think I am because I remember things –
like what you wore on that evening when I first said “Bye!” to you and how you smiled and waved at me enthusiastically; like how my name sounds so beautiful when it comes from you, or how our eyes meet from time to time for no apparent reason or that time when our hands almost touched when we bumped into each other on that room’s door.
I also remember the butterflies I feel each time I feel your gaze at me, the fast thumping of my heart whenever I feel you near, and the incomparable joy that I feel when we stay up late at night.
See? I remember things –
I remember all that matters to me.
I remember your birthday. I remember your childhood memories, your fears and your desires, even the sexual.
So they can’t tell me that I have a neurological problem because
you keep me sane.
You become the lighthouse that shows me the way whenever I feel lost in my thoughts – just thinking of you calms my unnerving anxiety. You are the cure that I need when panic fills my wandering mind whenever I fail to remember things.
You – you’re the reason why I believe that there’s nothing wrong with my memory and you’re the one that keeps me relaxed when angst creeps all through me.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness

Childhood Impact: As a child, I felt like no one accepted me for who I was.

Adult Protection Strategy: Now, if someone or something makes me feel rejected, I tend to run away. I hide, isolate myself, and avoid everyone, even those who care about me. It’s like I believe everyone rejects me, and I don’t fit in.
