Imperfectly Perfect

-
Ever wonder why life is so unfair and imperfect. Well, why can't I be perfect, it must at least be possible right. The action and reaction of the thought is replaced by reality before rendering any chance of realization. You secretly blame yourself, then others, the world, the black cat, even a damn sneeze from a poor fella beside you. An endless list of complaints. When you are an Indian you cannot avoid dogma. Yes, it is true that our generation comes up with a much clever list of complaints of chaos around us. Still, the situation is same. Congratulations, for complicating my life Karma. The word perfect should never exist alone.

Why me? Failure is fine for once but not again and again. It's NO FUN! Bad luck can cheat on you one day but, it figures you are it's best friend. Sometimes, you question everything. Is it necessary to worry at all? Making a living is not a problem. Despite the fact that your dreams are shattered and you can never glue all the broken pieces of it together. And no, the super glue gun is not useful now. There are no quick fixes to things that slipped off or out of your control. LET IT GO.

In the retrospect, it's funny and amazing how things can go wrong repeatedly. The person who you are now is a result of all the beautiful moments and cruel mishaps of your past. Who cares about a few failures, when life is such a big adventure. The struggles you faced may or may not be good stories for the next generation. Nonetheless, the wisdom you gained slowly will make you a winner in your life. You are your own teacher and student. No one knows you better than yourself. The endless experiments and dire consequences you happen to face is a way of life unveiling itself. Bliss beats all the countless confusion. See a spark in everything. Let your eyes twinkle just for the mere fact that you are ALIVE. Eventually, you will encounter epiphany.  

Just calculate it. Add all your glories, subtract the sadness, multiply the delight and divide the despair. Done! Silly math for a simple life folks. Serenity prayer soothes you too.   

Now go out there! No more holding onto hope. It's your time to shine. Clench your fists, grit your teeth, puff up your chest, raise from the ashes and shout out to yourself....I'm Perfectly Perfect.

    There is so much pressure from parents, guardians, friends to fit in, to make them happy, and somehow find happiness from that way of living. But happiness comes from doing things that bring you joy, little to no stress, and serenity. Often times this does not match the values of your parents, guardians, and friends. I find the most I have failed in my life was from living my life for someone else. I believe there is no such thing as perfection. But the closest thing we can get to perfection is living our lives for ourselves in ways that truly make us happy.

Too late

Wish I could tell you how much I like you How can you not see it in my eyes How can my presence not hypnotize you Why are you too distracted I need your eyes only on me  Your wordplay and laugh is adorable  I want to stay next to you all day and all night   It hurts to know that I’m not on your mind It kills me inside that I’m not your first choice Wish you could notice that our connection is real Wish you could understand that life is better when it’s the two of us together Our energy is magnetic even if it’s momentary  There are no struggles in the world when we snuggle I cannot stop thinking about texting you You make me feel like I’m home  Is this comfort a camouflage of your flaws How can you compare me to someone else when I was right there in your arms I rather handle the truth than a sugarcoated lie Please don’t make this harder I thought of waiting a thousand years for you to be mine But you were willing to let me go in just five days I don’t want ...

This is for my future self. To the moon child who's reminiscing about all the cancelled plans, torn ticket stubs, hiding from the storms, waiting nervously at the train station to finally try break free from my restricted freedom. The irony is that I work every single day to help build portals for people to travel, but never did I ever get a chance to take a decent vacation. A sweet soul who's overworked, overstressed, and overwhelmed all the time. I just want to feel alive, marvel at life around me by getting lost in the hustle n' bustle of the city to only find myself. Not even my sub-conscious mind is aware of the fact of how much I earn for this more than my favorite activities such as dancing, painting, reading, and listening to music. The universe has a funny way of cancelling my plans. I thought the 7th time was the charm, guess not. It breaks my heart to unpack my bags still sitting on my bedroom floor, when I spent more than a week planning my every move in the cit...
