I’d like to meet you again, for the first time…

I’d like to meet you again, for the first time…

Meeting new people is an experience

A glorified experience at that, it’s the hopes

in your cheeks that make you smile uncontrollably

The pure experience of acceptance and genuine connection in the eyes of a stranger

You meet someone for some inexplicable reason

It’s unexpected but yet surprisingly delightful

 

Though some are for a season and some for a lifetime

Time runs out and the sun burns late

Why don't we talk about the pain of friendships breakups?

A bond that was once strong, being vulnerable and open up

How they become so dear then quickly turn into a stranger

 

Perhaps this person was only supposed to carry us through a season

Or sent for a higher purpose or lesson

They say the reason for people’s presence will become clear in due time.

But still it hurts when they go away, how can you un-know every memory and their existence?

But if incarnation would be true I’d would like to meet you again

Just one more time, live a thousand years of only good memories with you

A life condensed and liquefied as the stream waters of life

Each encounter embodied within love, peace and happiness.

    This was so evocative and made me think of the coming and going -- and staying -- of those in my life that made me feel this way. Thanks for sharing!

Framed Generation!

Judge: You being charged with counts of lazyness, entitlement, changing jobs like shoes, adrenaline filled junkies and a generation of no hope. How do you plead? Plea : Thank you your Honour for this opportunity. Firstly I feel like we surrounded by a glitter border; Looks good from the outside looking in, but all it is confinement in our thinking, ideas and entire existence; Of rules and expectations passed on from generation to generation; Stick to the know, a yearn for more is rebellion; A generation framed by our forefathers; constantly paying for their sins; Where corruption, violation of freedom of speech, graduates begging by the roadside and violation of human rights have been normalised; A curse of through painful toil we eat food from it the rest of our lives. Hands to mouth, hands to mouth, a routine we've only known; They ate the sour fruits, played with fire, gorged into our trust funds only for us to be called lazy and free spirits. Millenni

Dating Someone Who Knows Your Mental Health Is Everything Part 2

Image
📸prettisusu It’s been a minute, last time we discussed about how it’s important to know where your partner stands in terms of them being aware of their mental stability. I reckon it’s a must, it saves a lot of surprises and frustrations because you know who you dealing with. If you haven’t read the article click here , so we are on the same page. I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with.

Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u

Maybe The Reason Why You’re Single Is Because You’re 'One Of The Guys’

Image
📸the.photographers.official  I’m a girl who has always been one of the guys, but also very much a girl; I don't really blend perfectly into either sides. Sounds familiar? Welcome to the club. I remember growing up, I would pick soccer or wrestling over playing with dolls. Hanging with the guys over girls. I still choose sweat pants and t-shirts over dresses. It’s apparently thought as unladylike in most parts of the world or rather a glorified brainwash to instil gender roles. After a couple of family interventions, a wardrobe revamp and shipping off to college I slowly embraced it. Because unfortunately the, ‘She will grow out of it’ seemed like it was never going to happen. The good thing about having guy friends is there are a bunch of perks, free 24/7 bodyguards on duty, a glimpse into the not so complicated mind of guys and less drama etc. However, too much of something can take a toll on how you look at things. ‘She is such a guy’ I have heard it a couple of time
