Fairy Tale or Nightmare?

skip to main | skip to sidebar "...and sometimes...just in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairytale" But do fairytales come true?? In reality its almost always that the nightmares with horrible endings come true.. the fairytales with happy endings are often restricted to dreams and storybooks :) Love does make us live in a fairytale but is it fair to do so knowing that the bubble can burst anytime... Its true that sometimes just in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairytale, but sometimes its also true that just in the middle of a fairytale, life is contemplating on a nightmare with memories to haunt us for the rest of our lives... Just thought people should be aware of both sides of love... we always go for the fairytale however great is the risk of it being shortlived.. we never learn do we? :) Each relationship always has two sides, not a good one and a bad one, or a right one and a wrong one, but...

You can never go back.

We are so quick to judge other people’s life choices, aren’t we? If someone’s choices don’t align with the ones we make ourselves, we immediately get boldfaced about it, we act shocked and worried and like things would be so much better had they thought twice about what they did. We worry about their future regrets and all the bad that might come to them. When someone gets married young, at what we call the ‘ripe age of…’ and insert any number under the age of 25, we get so shocked. We fear that they are throwing their lives away, that they are making a huge mistake in choosing love at such a young age. We pull out statistics, call them stupid and ignorant, regardless of the fact that we are acting the same way by judging them so. Some say: They haven’t even really lived yet, why are they condemning themselves to this marriage? We put our own regrets and the mistakes we’ve made onto others. This weekend I met someone who is 35 and unmarried with no relationship prospects...

On your journey to...

"On your journey to your dream, be ready to face oasis and deserts. In both cases, don't stop" I have been suffering lately for the lack of inspiration. I think I need some time for my own to come back stronger and more powerful. Sometimes we have days like that when we don't even want to open our laptop. In the meantime while I am looking for things to talk about I am leaving you with Paulo Coelho and hope that you all are doing more than great. By the way.... I've never thought that I will ever have to agree with this quote. Apparently I have to do it now.

Dear heart ♥

Image
Dear heart at some point in my life I thought that I will never find what love is. When I have gotten mature enough I felt like all men are the strangest and the most difficult species to understand on earth! Well I didn't know at that time that first I should become understandable to myself. It was and still is the longest, the most honest and the deepest road you can ever take, on the other hand it's one of the most amazing, the most beautiful and the purest journey you could ever imagine! After some time I did fall in love. Then I fell in love again. I loved deeply. They all passed by. Then I met someone and he has shown me the new meaning of l o v e . Wouldn't be great to close my eyes and feel his breathe on my neck and hands around my waist! Wouldn't be great to see his passionate sight, to see him wanting and desiring me. Wouldn't be great to smile without a reason! Wouldn't be great to immerse myself in those dreams of future with him. F...

Love is ..

Image
Love is a noble act of self-giving, offering trust, faith, and loyalty. The more you love, the more you lose a part of yourself, yet you don't become less of who you are; you end up being complete with your loved ones. Love is like a piece of artwork in the works; if you are not satisfied, you keep on beautifying it until it becomes very wonderful. Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, but few ever achieve it. Those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all will never forget it. Love is a powerful addiction for the human soul. Even people that have not experienced it, yearn for the chance to give and receive it from someone special. Love is one powerful host -- A force less energy that makes all light spin. It spins our hearts. It spins our minds. How we balance ourselves to this sudden chaos and crazy motion is our own fine line. Love is like a wonderful feeling of compassion and satisfaction. It should be given respec...

I want to be his Strength ..

Image
He smiled. And I could discern the pain written all across that smile. A fake smile. Just like the fake facets he had been made to live with, for the length of his life – an entirely undeserved sentence. I wanted to extend my hand, touch him and let him know it was real. I wished to enter into that aura of containment that hid him from the whole world, me included. But the frailty of that curtain thwarted all my attempts. Every step I took forward had to be receded on the fear of ending up wrong. The distrust in his eyes never turned into the slightest shimmer of hope. And I stood, all the while, at a distance drawn between us. I’d see the scandalous eyes that lingered upon him and satiated their dirty expectations in his sickness. Their smiles depended upon his ghastly pallor and every second of every minute I stood there, it cut me down to my very core. Pain – an unnamed, unwanted pain that surmounted every time I faced him. And he always kept looking down, in his ...

Before 30

Image
“Before 30” is just two years away and as freaked out I am as a single woman, you ought to know that I hate jokes about age. Yes I have matured and been in control of myself slow and gradual but there is much that has been done, and much that is left to do before 30. No I am not intending to die. Death is a far away tale and no where happening in the future at hand. I am talking more in terms on the things to do, habits to rid off, things to acquire, destinations to reach and make a living out of a life I surely seem to be dragging. No what ifs about ‘if I stay single’ I’ll marry myself if I have to but you wont find me single, NO! This Wednesday you’ll be entertained with how prepared and not prepared I am for 30. as scary as the digit is, it has its pros too. And with prayers and blessings I’ll make it through! Things I should stop doing before 30 1. Romanticizing my 20s 2. Rebelling against my parents for the sake of rebelling against my parents. 3. Living paycheck to pay...

... the richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten!

Image
I genuinely believe my life is made up of millions of tiny memories I gathered all the way from my childhood. No matter where I am, no matter what I do, the 'hows' and 'whys' of my life will always shape up according to what these memories and experiences have made of me. I'm happy and deeply grateful to Allah for giving me the kind of life that will always keep me searching for the positive perspective in anything. I once again realize person I am when, in a silent moment of recollection, a sweet, tiny memory back from the old days creeps up on me and makes me smile. And that's why I call my memories a treasure; they never fail to make me smile. Remember how as a child, you were fond of little things? You had no greedy desires, no ambition big enough to tire you from life. Your dreams were simple dreams. You clearly knew who you wanted to be when you grow up. I want to be a teacher, a doctor, a pilot... There were no strings attached. It was as si...

Think Different

Here’s to the Crazy Ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can’t do, is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or, sit in silence and hear a song that hasn’t been written? Or, gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Treatment

Image
Let me tell you this Sometimes with even me my words fall. I weave words that's the only thing i can do right may be. but given to the TREATMENT i get words fall they fall down into some dark pit and i cry not because of your TREATMENT but because words are all i have and you make them fall into places even i can't fetch them back from. my feeble hands tremble at the sight. words. words. words. i cry to see them falling. i love nothing better than i love words and then you make them fall into darkness. pity.

Love? Surely I believe.

Image
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master... This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something...

Take me to the start.

Image
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions, Oh lets go back to the start. Heads on a science apart. Running in circles, comin' in tails And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the start. Comin' back as we are Runnin' in circles, chasin' tails Nobody said it was easy, Oh it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be so hard. Song by Coldplay " The Scientist "

Run your own race.

Image
“I’ve always been curious about what makes the great, great. My mentor replied: ‘The only thing I can tell you is to run your own race. Live life on your own terms. That is the secret to success.’ That was a powerful and liberating lesson for me. It freed me to live life on my own terms and run my own race.” Draw your own life, it's the only way to be truly happy, because happiness should be our goal. No matter what makes us happy - the result should be one - the state of feeling joy.

Cause you're the one ..

Image
Its bewildering how I crave for your touch all these days when you're away, long to hold you close for hours and say nothing. Your presence in my surrounding makes everything perfect. The warmth I feel in your arms, it couldn't have been better anywhere else in the world. You, my man, are the essence of my being. It is because you are with me that I am a stronger and better person. I hold you in esteem, and I always will. I love the way we can be on different wave-lengths, and still be so communicated. Its amazing how I get awed by everything you do for me, I know I can count on you, always. I love it when you get all possessive about me, not wanting me to meet any of your colleagues, its overwhelming to know that you want to keep each and every inch of mine just for yourself. I love your innocence when you tell me, 'Baby, if only I could hide you somewhere and keep you away from this world ..' You have given me the confidence I lacked all my life, a...

Love?

Image
Lately I’ve been asking myself—which is worse: saying I love you too little or too much? And then I realized that it doesn’t matter, because things like love and pain are never wasted. You learn from love lost. You learn beautiful things that will only ever make you stronger. And while it seems outright to say so—love is not difficult. Only until to make it madness and mistake it for love. Love isn't about conquering territory - it just is simply love and it really is absolutely everywhere. Only look a little harder.

Sunset's whisper ..

Image
Listen to the sunset Can you hear its quiet sigh? Listen the sun's falling; Watch it toning down the sky Soon Darkness shall surround me Tho' twinkling stars will dare smile through While you are far away from me They'll frown a humble hue And as the sunset spread its colors Horizons of gold and red I lie here all too much alone In this great, vast chilling bed For my world has stopped revolving Till you return, Time's Standing still And the cold has settled around me With its stinging breathless chill But my love for you keeps growing Standing fast to fight the cold Reminds me of your body's warmth And the story of love untold So listen to the sunset Look up hear its quiet sigh Tho' we're apart these lonely nights My love whispers across the sky.

Learning Or Decaying

Image
There's a cure for aging that no one talks about. It's called learning. In my mind, as long as you learn something new each day, stretch your personal frontiers and improve the way you think, you cannot grow old. Aging only happens to people who lose their lust for getting better and disconnect from their natural base of curiosity. "Every three or four years I pick a new subject. It may be Japanese art; it may be economics. Three years of study are by no means enough to master a subject but they are enough to understand it. So for more than 60 years I have kept studying one subject at a time" , said Peter Drucker, the father of modern management who lived until he was 95. Brilliant Guy. There's a cure for aging - It's called Learning. Too many people never pick up a book after they've finished school. Unbelievable. Too many people spend more time watching TV than getting deep inside the minds of the greatest people who ...

Simple Fact

From House to Home

Image
I am no design divaa but yes aesthetics are something which I have plenty of. Thanks to Almighty and the self given Degree too... things are not as shallow as they are for some. While browsing some things really clicked my taste and I shall take the liberty to spill the happy interiors around here today. Pile On the Pillows One pair of pillows always looks skimpy. Use two pairs, in contrasting patterns, colors, and textures. I love the touch it adds to my couch and my bed. Buy a Bigger Bed Small-scale furniture only makes a small bedroom look smaller. Yes they tell you fill smaller rooms with minimum stuff but no. Minimum objects maybe but don't compromise on the size. Try a high bed with a tall headboard. Your room will grow. Large Collections Need Order Wall brackets can bring order to a large collection or odd shapes, which is what I considered before doing my room but then for some reason had to hold it back. You can try it. It really adds to the decorative aspect...

Never enough

Do you belong to what you're hanging on to? Are you caught in a loop? What is wrong with you? You keep making do Have you given up on hope? I could be your antidote Are you lost in a state of anxiety? Just let it be Excuse me, please I'm just so happy I could scream Adjust your mindset, do the same All that you lost will be regained Never ever enough, its never enough Is it ever enough, when its just enough? If its never enough, why do we hang up on love? Enough is enough, never enough Pure, we're pure as we're driven But I know there's only one way to go So dream, its just human kindness If we run and we hide it will find us, there's nowhere to go I came forth to rest your fear There to catch your falling tears Begin and ending no more pretending Try descending into me When it comes to say goodbye Say your final end desire Well, enough is enough and you're hung up Feel what you feel, baby

Tokyo dreaming

Image
I still see you in my dreams. Usually your hands are delicately wrapped around my face. Slowly you kiss each eyelid as if they were so precious they might break but each dream like this is terrifying. They haunt me of a time when you thought I spun gold from light. Of those times when each love letter left on your pillow was more poetic than the last. It’s in reliving these memories that I realize that I can no longer remember a time before now that I have loved anyone more. I struggle to find the words to describe the cataclysmic and heart rendering moments we shared. Where beneath Tokyo lights you grasped my hands and warmed them and I just knew. I knew that every person in this world deserved a moment like this. A moment where you knew how to be truly loved without the whisper of a single word. My love knows no boundaries and if you give me a chance I will continue to show you the most faithful of hearts.
