GIVE ME ONE

---

Give me one
in whose eyes my future is engraved.
What’s in a charming eye today
if it leaves my tomorrow muddy?

Give me one
through whose voice my peace is restored.
What’s in a voice like a sparrow’s
if it steals my sleep away?

Give me one
on whose shoulder my tears find solace.
What’s in a spot free shoulder
if I can ne’er e’er lean on it?

Give me one
in whose silence my heart gets an earful.
What’s in an all-day conversation
if it’s filled with nothingness?

Give me one
whose simple being embodies perfection;
a reason to see the morrow’s light,
and a fortress of peace and comfort.

Pillow Talk

i desire to spend an eternity

on th’ other end of your pillow

for your eyes tell tales

A Happy Look at 2018, Hello 2019!

On 31 December, 2017 I outlined eight what-could-be-termed-as advices for us to follow as we delved into 2018. I know you’ve forgotten them, maybe you missed them, maybe you had not yet come across this site, well, worry not!

Soulless Guitar

I was but a soulless guitar

Till you came and plucked some strings

A Cupful of Action to Your Faith

Do not just hope for great things, act towards achieving them for faith alone cannot do.

That’s some quote that was pasted on my friend’s wall in college…well, a version of it I guess. I’ve looked at this quote for two years but it never rang in me that it would be a perfect opener for one of my posts. Well, now it is!

Blue

you are but the soul-softening blue in the distant skies

even afar, your beauty scintillates in my eyes

Let Go

like this second forgets the second past

free your soul from the hurts of yesterday,

breathe now, love now, live now.

Essentials for a Happier Life: IV. Let Go of the Past, Live Now.

I strongly think believe there is nobody out here who enjoys dwelling on their past misfortunes, mistakes or failures…no-bo-dy. There is a simple reason as to why such a habit is not enjoyable: it robs one off of the preciousness of their present. Simple. This post will be as brief as a yawn as it simply but deeply highlights this assertion.

“Holding on to your unhappy past robs you off of the preciousness of your present”

Essentials For A Happier Life: III. Cut Off The Valueless (Part Two)

Like I said last Friday, today we unveil the second category of what should be regarded as pointless things; things that rob you off of your precious time and energy. You can never succeed in life if lots of your time is spent on valueless things hence this second part of this third essential focuses on the behavioural part of the valueless:

2. Time Consuming Habits and Bad Addictions

Essentials For A Happier Life: III. Cut Off The Valueless (Part One)

We last talked in January, I’ve bounced back!

For the most part of our messed up lives we find ourselves clinging on to things that really don’t matter…at all. We find ourselves incarcerated in a web of people and behaviors (or rather habits) that we never realize are not worth our time and effort – all because of our inability to cognize that these things are messing up our ‘supposed-to-be-great’ lives. So sit back, relax and lend me your attentive eyes and mind whilst I try to help you remove such unnecessary things on your journey to happiness. Ready? 1, 2, 3 lets soar en route to a happier life!
