come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
embrace your faults
leverage it.
if you turn around your faults
you’ll start to see its usefulness.
embrace the good and bad:
they are all yours.
pivot, negotiate, and explain.
if all does not go well,
it’s alright.
at least you know you tried.
even if the whole world is against you,
you will know that about yourself.
keep trying.
it’s not over ‘till it’s over.

humbled at every moment
for my own room to grow
but I won’t dwell on my embarrassment.
I will keep my head even
looking forward to rising days
to take one step after another
and become a better man.

once it is here,
the next, it is gone
the fleeting, ephemeral
yet quintessential element;
source of inspiration
for many.
I wish you a luck
to catch this while it lasts.

sleep early.
it turns out
not only a whole day
can be ruined
with a foggy mind,
but your relationships
may also be in a dire place.
tend to your mind and body
and honor those
who show grace to you.

experience it, you won’t regret it.
through it all, you will know.
world beyond the knowns.
smile, struggle, and prevail.
feel the rumble in your spine,
let the muscles and nerves do the work.
experience it.
experience it fully.
it will be a worthwhile destination.

staring into the dot,
I saw only the dot.
the more I stared at it though,
I started to see something else.
I started to appreciate how it stays here
when it could have been anywhere.
I appreciate how it encompasses opposite
of blankness.
I appreciate how we all are eventually
a dot, like itself, when seen from far, far away.
I started to see the world, the life, all encompassed.
I appreciated the dot.

life is a puzzle.
one after another
we face a problem to solve.
I am stuck in this one
and have been so for a while
how do I overcome myself?
too much introspection
too much pressure don’t do much justice.
find a way for loving the others
while loving myself
is one of the hardest problem i see.

let there be light, warmth, and love.
let us dream, understand, and embrace.
regardless of what we have gone through,
let us smile and greet each other.
let us breath freely and rejoice in shades.
let us move onwards with our heads held high.
7.1.2023
take it a little lighter
when you feel the pressure
one step at a time
look into the problem to define
what you can do now
so that figuring out how
we reach the star
won’t be to far
6.29.2023
when we are close
in silence
you know
and I know
what we are thinking.
to note each body language
requires too many words;
rather, it’s ‘je ne sais quoi.’
no words needed;
yet your soul
and my soul
were warm
for albeit a brief moment.
farewell.
may your path illuminate in darkness.
