To The Ones November Has Not Been Kind To

Hey there stranger, I hope you realize how amazing you are and how beautiful the world is because of you in it. This one is for you if November has not been kind to you. I know right now all you feel is how the darkness that surrounds knows no end, and the light that you are so desperately and intently searching for seems to lose its way in the dreariness of despair. I know all you long right now is a moment of peace and this month has constantly put you on the edge of your sanity. November has not been your month, all it has done is test your strength and remind you that you need to keep it all together. Life in its entirety has plonked you into the land of uncertainty, and all you yearn for is to be lost in a land where you cannot be found, only to be
rescued with the warmth of love and a warm cup of coffee.

I see you fighting all those silent battles with a smile, wiping the tears that belie the pain that hides underneath. I see you waking every day with the courage to take on the day, while all you want to give in to the testament of your might that life tests every day. I want you to remember that life would not always feel this heavy, you still have not seen the most beautiful days of your existence yet, where your coffee tastes the solace of never-ending peace, where the people you pass by on the street light up your day with their sweet smiles, where you hold the hand of a person who loves you as you wish to be loved. You still haven’t experienced days where life feels light and your soul feels at peace. I want to remind you that there is a whole world out there waiting for you, to witness them with your kindness, warmth and the magic you brew in the
embrace of the things that you love.

I hope you remember the times when your courage dwindled but you held your head high and when you thought you could not get through it, but almost magically and with your might, you did. I hope you remember the world needs your light and it is better because you are in it. So if November or this entire year has not been kind to you, I want to remind you that this is not the end, but rather just a bend that leads you to a chapter of your life that aglows in the radiance of never-ending mirth, joy and smiles. YOU will feel like you again.

Right now I am proud of you, proud of you for fighting through, proud of you for holding on. I am proud of you for every second of your existence. I hope you still believe in the beauty of what is about to come.

So if November was not kind to you, I want to remind you that life has so much more to offer, and this is just a road bump that will lead you to the light you wish to see.

Breathe, Relax and Reset.

For all the awesomeness and joy that is about to come.

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

The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t
