    And the minute I stepped through that door, I knew exactly what I had been missing all this while. That glance was enough to send me plummeting. I was set afire, my heartstrings playing a wide array of music. As I drew closer, it seemed like an entire orchestra had formed, and everything was building [...]

    Tell that to the dying grass, desperately searching for any droplet of water that can be found.
    It’s true that change can be good. But this post was more about illness haha.

    The needle paves the way for the thread yet again. In and out, weaving in an all too familiar pattern. And the pair work tirelessly to save the day once more.

    Because when she is near, nothing in the world can bring him down. His universe turns beautiful once more. And nothing can ever dampen his spirits, because she is near.

    The answers- they’ll come. You just have to ask the right questions.

  • Abrar wrote about the word elastic 1 year, 9 months ago

    Hey, you over there. Yes, you. Life can be cruel sometimes. It can make you doubt everything, most of all – yourself. But there’s a secret no one’s told you yet. You are elastic. So you, don’t you worry. Because sooner or later, the stretch will be over. Everything, every little thing, will be just [...]

    The cool air poking me. The sun, setting ever so slowly in the distance, creating a bright and yet ever-so dim crimson setting. The wind slapping against my face, reminding me I’m alive. This is what I live for. Why do they always think I enjoy walking. The car, the car! I keep telling you! [...]

    There was a river of red flowing beneath her feet as the pile of bricks bled endlessly. The flow seemed to capture her tireless toil; refining each and every brick to a near perfect rectangle. This was her means of living. This wasn’t just an option- it was survival.

  • Abrar wrote about the word canvas 1 year, 9 months ago

    Our canvas is life and we hold the paintbrush. When drawing, some choose to replicate pictures they admire. But paintings that really stand out are the genuine, original ones. The ones we were bold enough to create.

    “Cross your heart! Cross it!”

    Why did ‘lock’ trigger that memory? I’ll just sit and smile. Silly hippocampus!

  • Abrar wrote about the word manager 1 year, 9 months ago

    I hate generalizing, but why is it that everyone hates their managers? Is it because when they take up the famed title, they actually trade their souls to the company in exchange for making every other employee’s life miserable? I myself have experienced two managers where I previously worked. One seemed like an angel and [...]

    The root is the foundation, much like a skeleton. It is what supports the entire system, and it is from the root, that beauty stems.

  • Abrar wrote about the word muse 1 year, 9 months ago

    I often find myself musing on the strangest of thoughts. How I love those moments. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course the first thing that came to my mind – (really, it was music and not words; cue: the intro to the songs Hysteria, Stockholm Syndrome, and so on)- was the band Muse!

    The slightest things in the world amuse him. But in the end, doesn’t that mean he enjoys his time that much more?

  • Abrar wrote about the word band 1 year, 10 months ago

    There we were, on stage; the room packed with people. Our hands were trembling. Ice cold. From the distance, I could see a few paper balls being tossed our way. But the show must go on, right? The crowd didn’t seem to like us one bit, and why would they? But I looked at the [...]

  • Abrar wrote about the word thunder 1 year, 10 months ago

    The first thing I can think of when I read the word ‘thunder’ is my dad singing out loud, “Thunder and lightning, my name is so frightening!”. Yes, he does that quite often. A peculiar man, my dad.

  • Abrar wrote about the word lightning 1 year, 10 months ago

    Lightning can be one of the most fierce and intimidating forms of interaction between nature and all things living. Perhaps nature wants to remind us that we are only guests in her home or perhaps she is telling us to be strong and make the most of our time. Or maybe, just maybe, nature is [...]

  • Abrar wrote about the word skeleton 1 year, 10 months ago

    Often times we are afraid to embrace ourselves; to be true and honest to ourselves. We hide behind the skin and flesh and leave the skeleton in its closet. Do we do this for others? What we do not realize is that our skeleton is what our bodies depend on for structure and support. We [...]
