It's gloomy but I'll say it.

Act is all about pretending. You want to laugh? Think about the funniest thing you heard. You want to cry? Think about the worst pain you ever felt.

I'm never given the happy roles. They say I portray the melancholy ones better.

I wonder if it's really a compliment after all?

Life has taken me through highs and lows. I have been weeping in happiness and smiling through pain. It's strange how we carry so much feeling yet express very little.

My teacher says it's all in the eyes. The emotion travels through you but it's the eyes that let it out.

Why don't you look closer then? Why don't you take a moment longer to peer into mine?

Past Lives (Celine Song, 2023)

[theunsaidsyllables]

just thinking of how our meaning or purpose in life is merely to experience. eating an orange segment, hoping for snow, being in love, returning over and over to one painting, stepping outside for the full moon, submersion in water, having a favourite colour, knowing beauty, feeling alone, feeling connected, feeling longing… it is enough.

Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts

[theunsaidsyllables]

We are all just glass vases in that will adorn grand houses someday. Some of us will make it to the drawing rooms. Some will be placed in the best looking bedrooms. Some will hold flowers for visitor's halls. Some will just be kept in the attic to gift someone else later. Some will live to see a couple generations. But some might crack along the way. Perhaps some will break in their pretty packaging even, before they could hold the flowers someday.

I don't want to fall in love with you.

I just want to lock eyes with you in a room full of people and have a conversation no one understands.

"But what if you fall in love with me?"

"I loved you once, I got over it. I can love you again and get over it, don't you worry."

"Wait, just a m-minute, literally just sixty s-seconds more...I-I have something to say..."

His expectant eyes ran all over my shivering body.

"Let's have that conversation inside, it's freezing out here."

I pulled my hand out of his grasp and he frowned that cute frown.

"I spent my childhood making s-s-snowmans with you in many such snowf-falls for so many years..."

"Okay ice queen, let's crown you inside the car, Lily is all by herself there."

"NO wait! S-stop tugging! Lily is a-always around because she l-loves you so m-much. She knows w-what a dad is like b-because of you. But it's not j-just her...it's..."

Despite the cold outside, my hands burned where he held on tightly. I could see the conflict of hope and detachment in his eyes. A battle that intensified with every blink.

He whispered, "It's what Sara?"

"It's b-both of us Aidan. W-we both can't d-do without you. When I c-came back here, I w-was so scared, but y-you stood by me. Y-you are everything L-liy would want f-for her dad a-and she l-loves you dearly. W-we both do. I-I love y-you. I-I l-love y-you somuch. I can't..."

With the frozen tears on my cheeks and his hands on the nape of my neck and his lips brushing my lips it was almost a summer day shining on a winter eve.

I burn in a fire I set upon myself. I seethe from the wounds I slashed open. The blood I drew from my thigh pools near my feet. I walk over to the nearest bench leaving a bloody trail. My ashes will scatter in this very air. I wonder who will inhale parts of me. The charred limbs will be scarred no more. The ugly hair will not bother me now. Death is easier perhaps when you walk over to it. Or perhaps it's never easy at all. Unless one wants to leave.

"Why do you care?"

"It could've been you lying dead there. Somebody's mother died beside somebody's brother and perhaps it will take days for people to find their bodies under the debris. But it will take years for their family to heal their hearts. That is of course, if they survive after all."

I blow candles on my birthday cake, praying for the lives that won't be celebrating anymore birthdays. I try to wish for them a piece of land in heaven, that would be their's to keep and thrive on. A land where they won't lose sleep over whether or not they will be bombed tonight. A land where they won't run amok, trying to evade missiles. I pray for a land where children can play and women can dance and men can breathe without worry etched across their heart.

Mary Oliver, from “Hum Hum”, A Thousand Mornings

[theunsaidsyllables]

I wait and wait for your gaze to find my face and your arms to seek my waist. But it never happens.

Would you look at me if I were the moon? Or would you still walk past, eyes fixed on the ground?

Would you seek me if I were the blooming rose? Or would you be intimidated by the thorns?

I wonder what you would and try not to think of all that you do. Perhaps that's how we love. We delude our minds and we dream about the impossible.

There's an indescribable silence in being unknown.

Undiscovered.

Perhaps not misunderstood, but the lack of comprehension on how my brain works. 

A silent life. Emphasis on silent.

I often see things for what they could be, not so often for what they actually are.

I live in a beautiful fanatical world.

And i’d like to stay there.

But i also would like someone to understand it

But to be understood

Thats so intimate.

So trusting.

So nerve racking.

Of all the people I have met so far, there are two categories:

Givers: The ones who love and give and care and protect. They offer you their favorite sweet because you like it, they join you for movies they don't like watching just so that you have company, they take you out for treats, plan elaborate birthday parties, check up on you even if its just another corporate life day.

Receivers: The ones who become the objects of all the love and appreciation that the givers shower. They bask in the affection and acknowledge the miracle they have been blessed with. They are forever grateful for the givers and remember to thank whatever power they believe in for the givers in their lives.

It is only very recently that i realized, we are all a little of givers and a little of receivers. It just depends on how, why and when we met each other.

Not very often am I led to a sunny day under a tree spread out so far that the sky can't help but just peek through it's branches. As I lay under it and close my eyes, to feel the breeze that touches places untouched and I reel in the moment. A moment of bliss where I care not if my hair is askew, my skirt is too hiked up to be modest or whether my blouse will start a scandal. A moment where I feel desired without anybody telling me that. A moment where I don't look up into hungry eyes for validation because I feel wanted enough.

As the breeze touches places untouched.
