Unbreak me

one after another,

you pick ‘em,

all of the pieces,

a lot fidgety,

somewhat scattered

everywhere in here,

then glue them 

with some love,

keep all of my parts,

but make them a whole.

yours

from a night's conversation,
to eternities, well-nigh.
the love that is yours,
will never pass you by.

behest

under all circumstances,

over everybody else,

with whole of your heart,

choose me.

her smile

here's a photo of this girl, 

so lost in life, 

she forgetfully hides her smile. 

and so on rare days like these, 

her laughter, 

in revenge,

hides her button eyes.

that one moment

that one day,
i felt from within,
for a brief moment,
he was all mine,
you see, in the end,
it is what truly matters,
for it is all we'd ever have.

words

i heard words,

that warmed my heart, 

and words,
that tore it apart.

all about self-belief

"and before i try to convince you, i have to convince myself i am not this bad."

a morning that brought back something unwanted

"what happened to me? when did i become them? something's not right. it hurts to inflict hurt."

that heart

that heart was warm, colossal;
also unimaginably crowded,
there was shelter
but no corner of my own.
there was air
none i could breath in.
had i not left it myself,
i would've been pushed out
one day, anyway.

un-ladylike

I had always lived quite a protected, sheltered life. But there came a point when that shelter could not protect me from sinking into back to back disappointments that came in from different areas of my life, and I was forced to take charge of my destiny and, more importantly, my happiness. As someone pointed out, I was looking for my Queen moment. I wanted to believe it was me standing against the world and to save myself it was inescapable defeating everything that put me down. Starting second half of the last year, my semantically-empty, meshed life began to unravel and change.

From travelling alone to United States, colouring my hair crimson red, firing real bullets, skydiving, kayaking, scuba diving, to getting a permanent tattoo- I think I dipped my toes into quite a lot of amazing, adventurous activities in a short period of time. Of which chasing and charming a handsome, geeky software engineer dude and deciding to get married to him within 20 days was breathtakingly brave. After all of this, honestly, I feel good. Also, because I have been a chicken all my life. An emotionally weak, confused chicken so to speak.

Maybe there still is a quest to find ecstasy and freedom. Or maybe it’s more like fighting my inner fears and demons. Some of my friends thought this transition was weirdly cool and that I looked tougher. And although I’d love to believe that, the truth is for the most part, I was so scared I did not enjoy things around, let alone feeling strong. 

I was nauseating really bad after my first skydive and even got feverish for two days. I drank litres of dirty sea water while learning to scuba dive and could not eat for hours. My already super-sensitive skin got severely burnt, tanned and scaly, leaving me with bi-coloured hands and legs. While kayaking, the tides became so violent at one point that our kayak got imbalanced and I got like thousands of mini heart attacks at a time. After the hair colouring thing, I had a tough time bearing criticism that came from almost everywhere. I was shivering and sweating when the tattoo artist punctured my skin. BUT, I am glad I tried and survived all of it.

My mom now thinks I am 'un-ladylike'. My brother feels I am kind of too impulsive and adventurous. My dad thinks I am not very obedient like my siblings. My husband thinks I am exciting (and dangerous). They’re all quite right. I do am all of these things. But besides that, and, more straightforwardly, I am un-understandably crazy.

*Pooh*
