It may be rising or setting. Sometimes it is difficult to tell.
Words bring a feeling similar to transportation. When you begin you may be at one place but by the end you’re in another.

It took so long for me to realize that I am 'me'.
Now, it's too late to explore myself.
Today I saw a 15 y.o from the USA who draws stuff that she fantasizes.
What happened to my fantasies at 15?
I was probably too afraid at what people would say if I drew them.
Now my fantasies are probably not as innocent, independent, clean, unadulterated and simple anymore.
I want to be 15 again and live better.
I never understood what Bhaiya meant when he said that I should draw so when I am 20 I'll be so awesome.
I get it now.
Sad.

What makes me feel..
Goes around and comes back head over heel
The cat hides under the bed
A traffic light goes Red

My car comes to a stop
I stare

Any mark you make becomes worth a thousand words.

Type is beautiful. They're tiny sculptures but only painted onto paper. Think black and white. The white paper with curvilinear strokes of a letter like O. How it sits so timid and calm but means to say a million things at the same time.

Designing the Unknown for the Unknown

It is quite a challenging task to strategize against something unknown. If the aim is protection against the something, at least then you will have an idea where to begin. But, suppose, for instance, you were asked to design for the unknown, 'What is the brief?', you'd ask, 'Make your own brief.', the authority replies, 'Oh! Okay.', you're puzzled.

So here you are on the blank sheet of paper, lingering. Hanging on a line for the bright idea to strike.

When I live in a space for too long I lose my affinity for it.

the obvious and the not





Wake up to yourself

Recently I was having a stressful time coping with things, people and activities around me. I cried. The tears made no difference except that Yasir understood what was happening to me. He told me what I should do to make it all better. I did what he said. It worked and life was okay again but it was just okay not good nor did it contain anything that I was looking forward to.

So I decided to wake up early and prepare a relaxed breakfast every morning. I began doing it. The first day I liked it. The second was better and my body didn't rebel to waking up early since I slept on time the previous night. Now it's about the fifth day of the same routine and I think I can never do without this peaceful time I get with myself. 

When my days used to begin in a hurry I was always stressed. Now I'm much better.

People for people, savages

Here they are
There they be
Take a good look around
Soon they'll no longer be.

If people were not
What they are now
They'd stick around longer
For you to stand up and take a bow.

TELISN - noise. TELISN anag.- silent, listen

There is noise, a lot of it.
You can't even hear my voice.
How will you listen?

The noise is born inside you,
You can't even hear yourself.
How will you listen?

Settle the score with yourself,
Then turn around to me,
Then you will hear.

Now earn time to speak,
Be silent and hear,
Then you'll listen.

Speaking in soul

Blue makes me shine down
Light up a path
Red makes me rise up
Burn down the same
