seize the moment

What are your favourite memories? Are they the ones you create or the ones that just happen to you? No matter how much you believe in Carpe Diem, you will always find yourself stuck in the moments and even if it is weird to think, you think the moment is seizing you rather than you seizing the moment! 

It is like a photograph, you know? You may think it captured the moment, but isn’t it you who is in that moment? Isn’t it the moment that has captured you in that very second of life? Like a photograph captures you being the happiest, weirdest, closest and most real to yourself, it’s always the moment that seizes you to the very core.

While there's this whole seizing-the-day part and trusting little for the next moment, you believe that the moment is perpetual because if it is all about living at the moment then what about your hopes for the future? With this whole in-this-moment notion, hopes become invalid, and that is something that you can't gulp down your throat.

It will not be hard to believe that whatever you do to mould the moment in, you will always be moulded away. Things like hope, happiness, emotions, and all the other things will always be there to mould you in every single moment. And if not, what will make you human?

This moment is so powerful - it seizes you and holds you in it forever.

yes,I know a girl

I know a girl who doesn't understand the concept of filters, doesn't understand boundaries, stays up late in case she remembers birthdays, and sends out comforting texts to anybody she thinks she can help.

I know a girl who is too pure, sometimes too considerate. I know a girl who believes that things can be fixed even after their broken pieces have cut her skin. I know a girl who craves stability, but she hasn't learnt that lesson yet. I know this girl who cares a little too much.

I know a girl who's a bit sensitive, and sometimes, a little too negative. I think she rants way more than she should and can be harsh at times. I know a girl who's a little too private about her life but also over shares. I think nobody ever taught her the concept of in-between.

I know this girl who is a little too much of everything you don't want and a little too less than being just enough. I think nobody ever taught her how to be enough. This girl I know is a terrible mess.

This girl I know rants a little too much. This girl I know is terrible at leaving but also too quick at pushing people away. I am telling you that this girl I know is bad-bad poetry with no proper spacings and punctuation, but when you read her out, she has a story that makes sense. It's just that it is a little too hard to read her. You'll try and fail at the first sentence.

But I am telling you that this girl I know is anything but simple. This girl that I know will almost always forgive you, just that she'll not forget things easily. I am telling you that this girl is a bad poem, full of broken sentences and misspelt words and you'll never reach the end
and this girl I know, she is a goddamn hurricane.
