“Most Times, It’s Just A Lot Easier Not To Let The World Know What’s Wrong.”

Aphrodite: god I have a headache

Athena: you tend to have a lot of headaches

Aphrodite: I don’t drink enough water

Athena: oh yeah me neither

Aphrodite: hot girls are dehydrated

Athena: that’s what I’m saying

“Oh, darling….You will be good to me, won’t you?…You will, won’t you?…Because we’re going to have a strange life.” - Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

Thank you note!!

Today while writing this, I am falling short of words, the ink from my quill is overflowing and so is the happiness from my little heart overflowing like the ink. I still can't believe there would be this day when I would wake up to, when I would see that I made it up to 200 followers. Sliding through the ups and downs of this roller coaster ride has been more adventurous than the strait paths I have been walking through. Even at the times, when I felt that I reached the ends of the road and the rest of the path seemed misty and unclear. To knock me up and to lead my way like the fireflies through the clear and unclear paths I have come across, it was just the warmth I felt for that few minutes you spent in reading my piece of work. Thank you so much for being a part of my journey, thank you so much for helping me get back on my foot by liking and sharing what I write. Thank you for being the constant support factors behind the screen. Thank you for following me and finding time to read the small things I put up here. Thank you for everything. Looking forward to more and more love and support to keeping myself alive and my quill to write the same way it has been writing. Thank you so much once again to everyone who has been and not been a part of this great day of my life, for grabbing a huge part of my heart, and for being the reason of the brightest smile I wear today.

Thank you so much.🙏

Fresh start bitter end

It sinks in your eyes’ blue (life, lust, love) like a skimming stone having lost all momentum,

and drowns there, where I have again and again. But it is only the end

for a moment. Stillness may hold your moon- spirit in its orbit but gravity wanes and

your trajectory is as yet unknown. Where will you go

then?: When the beginning takes you? Where will you fly (and if not fly, walk; and if not walk, swim)?

Do we win the battle when there are no fears left to face? Or is it won through exploration and through acceptance: that

there will be one thing and then another and then another

like the haunting of an ancient burial ground from now until forever.

“I do not wish to convert people from one organized religion to another; I have no interest in any of these organized religions. My interest is in Dhamma - the truth, the teachings of all Enlightened Ones. If at all there is any conversion, it should be from misery to happiness, from defilement to purity, from bondage to liberation, from ignorance to Enlightenment.”

— S. N. Goenka

“I have named you queen. There are taller than you, taller. There are purer than you, purer. There are lovelier than you, lovelier. But you are the queen. When you go through the streets No one recognizes you. No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks At the carpet of red gold That you tread as you pass, The nonexistent carpet. And when you appear All the rivers sound In my body, bells Shake the sky, And a hymn fills the world. Only you and I, Only you and I, my love, Listen to it.”

— -Pablo Neruda, Love Poems Get This Book (via awesomebookquotes)
