Innocence

When I was younger, we lost a bird to a broken foot and I cried for days until mum cupped my face and spoke words that echoed in my heart “if you keep loving so much, you’ll spend your life digging yourself out of the heart cavities of people who do not love you in the same way.” I couldn’t tell her then, that we talk about losing naïveté like shedding weight, as though it’s the best thing that could happen to us. But nobody told me that it’s okay to fall headfirst into people and if they move out … Continue reading Innocence

The other day …

The other day, I took a deep breath and decided it was time to declutter my soul. I gathered up all the fears and stories that had been weighing me down, the guilt and memories that had been holding me back. I spread them out on the old floor of my house, examining each one before deciding their fate. I peeled off the layers of hypocrisies and envy, anger, and selfishness, letting them fall away like old paint chipping off a wall. I found the cracks and corners of my rusty heart where they had been hiding, and I released … Continue reading The other day …

Closed doors, keys that do not open the closed doors

In the quiet moments, when the weight of closed doors bears down, and keys fail to turn the stubborn locks, leaving us in the shadows, we find ourselves lost in the labyrinth of our own making, yearning to unravel the secrets that lie beyond. The will, a persistent thread, weaves its nest in the verdant branches, nurturing dreams, patiently hatching eggs that seem reluctant to crack, while we wait for the butterflies to emerge, shedding their cocoons, Transforming into creatures of freedom, dancing in the sunlight. Yet, amidst the anticipation, the ‘Not’ emerges repeatedly, as if our lives were restless … Continue reading Closed doors, keys that do not open the closed doors

I do believe in this …

I was born into the shackles of poverty, a life of struggle and hardship from the very start. But I refuse to be defined by my circumstances, for I hold no shame in being poor.

I may not have material wealth, but I am rich in aspiration and determination. I hold onto the hope that one day my hard work and dedication will bear fruit, that my reward … Continue reading I do believe in this …

The day of my rebirth

In the quiet echo of a year gone by, I found myself at the edge of existence, lost in the depths of my own demise. It was a death unannounced, a departure without fanfare or farewell, a silence born of shame and the weight of unforgiven yesterdays. I drowned in the abyss of my own creation, fragmented by the weight of my own truths and the collapse of my lies. Desperate and devoid of hope, I surrendered to the void, carving myself into pieces with the sharp edges of my own mistakes. I died with a whisper, a pauper’s silence, … Continue reading The day of my rebirth

Prayer of love I

In the depths of your despair, I am the light that pierces through the darkness. In the chaos of your mind, I am the calm that soothes your soul.

I am the openness you seek; I am your doorway to peace and serenity. Come sit in the circular temple of my heart, let the warmth of my embrace envelop you. Let the gentle rhythm of my love lull you … Continue reading Prayer of love I

Why do some white people want to destroy indigenous so much?

The desire to destroy indigenous peoples is rooted in a long history of colonialism, racism, and the pursuit of power and resources. It is a deeply ingrained and systemic issue that cannot be boiled down to simple explanations. It is not just about living in peace with nature, being outside the capitalist system, or the freedom of their naked bodies. It is about the systematic dehumanization and marginalization of indigenous peoples in order to justify the theft of their lands and resources. The idea that indigenous peoples are somehow a threat to “civilized” society is a dangerous and false narrative … Continue reading Why do some white people want to destroy indigenous so much?

Life was meant to be a symphony

We once likened life to a journey, a pilgrimage with a solemn destination, an end goal that we strived to reach, be it success or heaven in the afterlife. We fixated on the pursuit of that final destination, missing the essence of the entire passage. Yet, all along, life was meant to be a symphony, a dance to the music that played around us. Each moment was a note in the grand composition of existence, and we were meant to sing and dance to its rhythm. We were meant to embrace the melody of laughter, to twirl in the joy … Continue reading Life was meant to be a symphony

ig·no·rance

/ˈiɡnərəns/ noun lack of knowledge or information. The notion of escaping ignorance through conversion, changing nationalities, or marriage is a fallacy that perpetuates a flawed understanding of knowledge and enlightenment. Ignorance is not a tangible entity from which one can flee; it is an intangible state of unawareness that permeates human experience. The fallacy lies in the belief that one can outrun or transcend ignorance through external changes, when in reality, true transformation can only occur from within. Attempting to escape ignorance through conversion or changing nationalities is a misguided pursuit, as it fails to address the root of ignorance, … Continue reading ig·no·rance
