Memories

Someone once said, "Good memories are meant to be cherished and the bad ones are to be learnt from or forgotten." These are words of wisdom. I am not trying to be a saint here but if you keep this saying in mind, your life WILL become BETTER.

 This post is directed towards the latter part of the saying and is inspired by something that happened to me like 10 minutes ago. So I bought new books for the coming academic year. While re-setting my bookshelf, I came across a two-year-old slam book. It was filled with the thoughts and likes of my 'then' friends. I opened it - like any other person would - and started to flip through it. Truth be told, I was hurt. It hurt me to see my name in their "BFF List" when I don't even talk to them now. It hurt me to see all the words that were meant for me when they don't mean a thing now. Those people that once meant the world to me but they don't anymore. We shared  some really good times, some that I will never be able to forget even if I wanted to. I had a falling out with them a few months ago and honestly, I have no intention of resolving it. ( The Reason ) The thing is, life goes on and we must go with it. I pushed the thoughts out of my mind, closed the book and chucked it out.  It broke me to pieces but I knew that it was for the best. I knew that seeing that book again will only bring me down and remind me that those people are not in my life. 


I don't know what I mean to them now but all I know is that I don't care. So one a brighter note, I encourage all of you guys to do the same ( Figuratively Of course ). Cherish the good ones but get rid of the memories that are just gonna make you over think things. God knows that's what I did. Leave your thoughts in the comments down below. :)

 Till next time, it's me signing off! XOXO

What's Up What's New

Hey people of the internet! How're you doing? Good? I hope so. I hope each and everyone of you is having a good day and if not, I hope it gets better. I'm just going to ramble for a few, this isn't a proper post, sorry.  So I had this thought the other day about destiny (or fate). There are two ways to think of it.  First is that we make our destiny. Everything thing we do, every decision we take, is creating a future for us. We are shaping our fate with every thought we have.  The second way is that fate is predetermined.  There is a place where we are supposed to reach and we do not have any choice but to follow the path that is laid out for us. We might think we have a say but we don't. There might be many doors in front of us but those doors ultimately lead to the same path that was set for us.  Personally, I believe in the second way. We might think 'life is what you make it" but in reality, everything you'll ever achieve, people you'll meet,

Spoken Word

Spoken word poetry is by far the most raw and efficient way to express in my opinion. Im in love with the format. Here are four of my poems. They're in chronical order. Maybe you can make out a story? (If you follow me on Instagram, you've already read these) ~ //my favourite baked good// He was beautiful He felt like a rose on my more than thorn body A firefly on a cold dark night, a beach at dawn He was electric The sparks like the bouncing of neurons in my,love blind brain. I was in shock. I didnt baby proof the sockets that couldve been fatal, something I regret not doing. He was a tv show that should've gone on air but was cancelled due to budget cuts, i had invested in that story from the moment it was on the drawing board. He was perpetually hypothetical. His arms around my waist, my lips against his, i was on fire. He was stone cold.  He twisted up my neck like poison ivy, my eyes locked in his. I could not breathe, but he sang. He was not a monster, b

List #8 (Levels Of Friendship)

Image
Hey hey hey!! What's up people of the internet!? So just to clarify something, this is not a universal chart to friendship. Everyone has different levels and these are just mine. I was watching JustTom's videos on YouTube (Go check him out! Click here to watch this awesomesauce person! ) and this idea stuck me that everyone has levels of friendships and so here we  are. Leggo. Numero uno: The Chin Jut So this is the stage where you don't really talk other than saying hello once in a while or maybe even good morning if you've had your morning coffee. You don't know anything about that person other than their name and that they're probably not a serial killer. The usual way (or should I say non verbal way) of greeting this person is with a chin jut that practically says 'sup'. Numero dos: Can I Borrow Your Notes? The second stage is a bit more friendly, or rather, useful. You and this person briefly know each other just enough to say that they
