come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
No more boasting.
Let’s face the facts, not impressions.
Let’s keep our minds sharp,
and weave the threads of our stories
to build a tapestry of network
that will wrap us in warmth and softness.
Let’s be honest to ourselves,
and deal the right things, for right time and right people.
Let’s build faithfully, intellectually, and emotionally.
Let’s be what matters the most.

It’s okay to go slower.
But be honest at minimum.
No shortcuts, no hiding under the rug.
Be vulnerable. It hurts, but stare squarely at the pain (with a caveat; you know)
With new wisdom, there lies new world.
Seek it. It will be worthwhile.

I’ve found you.
It’s okay. It’s all going to be alright.
Don’t worry about the noise.
What matters is that we are here.
We will find a way.
In spite of all that has happened,
our journey continues.
Keep honesty close to yourself.

I am always scared of honesty.
I am suspicious of the hidden intentions.
Underneath sweet words,
there are often sharp traps vying for blood.
Under the right circumstances,
it went a long way to take a leap of faith.
These are the instances
when even if I fall crashing down
I would feel alright for having put a faith in it.
For these moments, I stay steadfast ready.

To throw the cloak away,
not like an exhibitionist,
nor in a theatrical way,
but as a solemn abstinence
from a rugged survival instinct,
reveal what is, not what should be,
letting the blows fall, with no guards to shield,
and be fiercely exhuming “what is”,
We find the way.
In it, we find all meaningfulness that matters.

When the rain soaks through the feather,
And all the fluffs shrinks like cotton candy,
none of hubris, pomp, or bluff remained.
Just bare bones and flesh,
exposed as they are.
What else is there, but to embrace them?
Celebration remained in dedication,
not in receipt of an understanding.
Warmth in solitude, what a work it takes.
