A Reminder To Breathe

A Reminder To Breathe

Often we feel imposters in our lives, not embracing the joy of the now. The power of being present in the moment we forge in belies in the acceptance of what we are. To be or not to be the ones we are deemed to be, to not know what our life would be is often the stem of our angst and doubt. Uncertainty is the only truth about life, as much planning and having a definite vision about what your existence should reflect, we need to understand that no matter what path we hail for we to be the one we are destined to forge. Life never turns out to be how we envisioned it to be, but it always leads to something that forges to be in our best interests.

The journey we stride upon pivots around the focal point of believing in ourselves. We do not need to know everything and have it all figured out. The only thing that we need is the belief that no matter what life throws our way, we will be able to handle it with grace, courage and confidence. For the ones who have recently entered their adulthood, we live in the paradigms of uncertainty, societal pressure, of not knowing what we want out of what we have. The voices of self-doubt and anxiety loom over us, telling us we are not enough. But I hope you remind yourself that you are worthy of your wildest passions and truest desires. Everything that you yearn for will seek you when the time is right.

In this moment, you are not what you were, you are not what you will be, you are an entirety in the space you exist now. Life will unfold itself in every step you march towards your goals, all you need to win is today.

Life is its exemplar that exists in the beauty of today,
Behold your head with pride and let the belief of yourself lead the way

Forgiveness After The Storm

Forgiveness After The Storm

The muse of poetry in its depths stalls the ensue of thee,Drowning in the sparse spectacle of hope left, one dives into the waters of misery.Triabilsing in the painful stance of existence, death in its allure creeps behind,To be or not be in the bane of tormenting breaths, in their truth one seems to find,

The hostility that binds, convulsion in its gloating flair laughs hysterically at the corpse of being,Dreariness to live in its slow burn writhes the only ounce of light left to see.The void of embracing the freshness of unadulterated air forges to question the beauty,Of living a life that could lead in the lightness of radiance and the smiles of unbridled glee.

The trueness of being lapses in the oscillation of turbulence and the sea of calm,Yet the tides of uncertain syllables that breed animosity render the sou

The Aesthetic Epidemic: Understanding the Roots of Lookism

The Aesthetic Epidemic

We care about more than just ourselves – we care about our loved ones, our communities, and the world around us. We are affected by tragic events, especially when a child is murdered, regardless of where it happens. It deeply impacts us and makes us feel disheartened. Moral evils raise doubts about the goodness of the world and the value of existence, especially for those who believe in a benevolent deity. However, anyone can contemplate the purpose and value of the universe in light of such evils. We may not need to worry about the value of the Universe and instead focus on finding value in our own lives or the lives of our loved ones. The concept of value is subjective and can be created by us.

The important question is what we should value or find pleasure in. Some people may try to ignore moral evil by focusing only on their own lives and loved ones, but this narrow perspective is unsatisfying for most. I
