Organizing Life’s Chaos

beatrizesmer

In the quiet solitude of his room, he meticulously arranged his life. Books found their place on shelves, each spine a testament to the stories he cherished. Clothes and shoes were neatly tucked away in closets, a semblance of order amidst the chaos. Cutlery and dishes were carefully stacked, symbols of shared meals and silent conversations. His journal, a repository of thoughts and dreams, lay open on the desk, pages filled with the ink of his soul. Time, that elusive entity, was measured and compartmentalized, each moment accounted for. Anxiety and love, those twin forces, were given their own spaces, … Continue reading Organizing Life’s Chaos

A Love Story Written in the Stars

beatrizesmer

I am here to be all in, so hunker down now, love. Together, we’ll trample over the sky, our laughter echoing through the clouds. We’ll bury ourselves in the nape of mountains, finding solace in their ancient embrace. Our golden years will be spent dicing mangoes and making grocery lists, each task a testament to our shared journey. In time, we’ll know so much of each other that all the walls in our house will ache, spilling over with fierce gentleness. The love we cultivate will be so profound that it’ll beg the Big Dipper to hold us for the … Continue reading A Love Story Written in the Stars

A Message of Encouragement

beatrizesmer

I want you to succeed, dear soul. In every endeavor you undertake, in every act of love you extend to yourself and to others. I wish for you to be swift in forgiveness and gentle in judgment, to not be overly harsh on yourself when you stumble, nor on others when they falter. I know the weight of past disappointments, the scars left by those who have failed you. But perhaps, true success is not measured by solitary achievements, but by the grace with which you respond to life’s challenges, fostering mutual growth and understanding. At the end of each … Continue reading A Message of Encouragement

Whispers of the Atlas

beatrizesmer

Later last night, as the world slumbered under a blanket of stars, I found myself alone with an atlas in my lap. The pages, worn and familiar, cradled the stories of countless lands and lives. I traced the contours of continents with gentle fingers, feeling the pulse of the earth beneath my touch. In the quiet of the night, I whispered to the atlas, “Where does it hurt?” The question hung in the air, fragile and tender. To my surprise, the atlas responded, its voice a soft murmur that echoed through the stillness. “Everywhere,” it sighed. “Everywhere, everywhere.” I felt … Continue reading Whispers of the Atlas

The Art of Survival

In the quiet moments of our conversation, I confessed to him a truth that had weighed heavily on my heart. “I told him once I wasn’t good at anything,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the rustling leaves. He looked at me with a tenderness that seemed to cradle my very soul. With a gentle smile, he replied, “Survival is a talent.” His words hung in the air, shimmering with a truth I had never considered. In that instant, I realized that my existence, my perseverance through the storms of life, was a testament to a strength I had … Continue reading The Art of Survival

Things We Stole (With No Intention of Returning)

beatrizesmer

Minutes: Time did not pass in mere seconds but in breaths, each inhalation filling our lungs with something sweeter than air. It was an ephemeral essence, a delicate ethereal that vanished like the morning fog, leaving behind only the memory of its sweetness. Glances: Your eyes became my eyes, held within my own like a precious gem, one that only death could part from. We gazed into each other with fond anticipation, searching for something—anything—worth keeping for eternity, though we hadn’t a clue what that might be. Breath: In case my lungs ever failed, I found solace in knowing I … Continue reading Things We Stole (With No Intention of Returning)

Celebrating Resilience and Strength

beatrizesmer

I carried many storms with me, each one a testament to the battles I have fought. I have washed myself ashore, a weary traveler finding solace in the embrace of the earth. I have been my tide, rising and falling with the rhythm of my heart, and my lighthouse, guiding myself through the darkest nights. Darling, this becoming me didn’t come easy. It was a journey fraught with pain and struggle, a metamorphosis born of fire and tears. I have let my demons play, giving them free rein to dance in the shadows of my mind. I have cursed God … Continue reading Celebrating Resilience and Strength

Words: A Journey of Growth

beatrizesmer

Love, I grow with my words till I feel comfortable enough to wear each and every word. I am still growing. We all are. I read everything, Urdu poems to Ghazals to African poetry to Latin American poetry, I try to read everything. It is such a rich and diverse earth, and I love soaking myself with different methods of storytelling. It works for me. As we experience life, we have to let the words in and allow it to do the job it is to do without restraint. In the quiet moments of reflection, I find myself enveloped in … Continue reading Words: A Journey of Growth

Exploring the Essence of Love

beatrizesmer

Love is love, hands down. It exists in all possible forms, and I revel in its intensity, allowing myself to romanticize endlessly and dwell in its depths as far as I wish. Yet, to me, there is a distinction. I can fall in love with someone I don’t know. I can. But I can’t love them. It’s not about knowing the person either. I won’t focus on the necessity of knowing aspects of them. It’s just that I believe I should feel the person. Not mentally, not physically – but soulfully. If I haven’t even talked to that certain someone, … Continue reading Exploring the Essence of Love
