Serenity is bliss, at least to me.
I relish the sound of silence as that's where I've heard words I so desperately needed to hear.
This world is so noisy, everyone keeps talking non-stop, non-stop, like the clock goes tick-tock, tick-tock. Endless waves of noise, ever changing tides, currents so strong it can sweep away voices at banks of your heart.
What if there was a way to escape the twists and turns of our world to a place of peace and tranquility?
Our world, earth, a spherical ball of matter suspended in the deep. Third from the sun and the only planet know to harbour life. Home to about 8 billion people speaking one out of the 6500 languages, living one of the 195 countries spread across 7 continents.
A million social media posts a day, a billion more viral videos, what a random confused guy somewhere else in the globe thinks you should do with your life...not like he even cares.
I mean 'No one owes you anything'.
Well, that's a little something I always tell myself. No one owes me their time, resources, love or support. Well, it mostly serves as a defence from getting myself hurt because when you don't expect something you can't be disappointed when you don't get it. I have had times when I expected too much and it all ended in disappointments, then I'd always remember, that, they don't owe me anything anyways.
This doesn't mean I didn't give out infact reverse is the case. I always fell like I owed others a lot. Yunno, be the reason someone smiled or something. I try to give all the love I can muster even if it's just a small fraction and try not to 'expect anything in return'.
Yeah, sometimes I do hope to get the love in return, I mean I'm human, but I try not to keep my hopes high and my walls even higher.
My walls, fortified and double reinforced, so no one can have the ability to hurt or hunt me. That's too much power to give any human. Well, I have let my guard down a lot, but sometimes it's worth the risk other times I always found refuge back in my fortress, which is easy, as I am a very good company of myself in my own world, a world not too far fetched...
A lit world of my own I built cos the real world is a bit to tiring to live in and keep up with. I don't really fit in, so why try? When I found a better way.
I'll show you....
In my world, there's brilliant sunshine every morning, everyday a new adventure with what I'd create with my art and discover in God. I share love with those dear to my heart. I'm everything I want to be because I'm working towards all I want to be.
I've defined the parameters and anything or what anyone says that doesn't conform doesn't exist and is dead to me. I've decided not to be defined by the plethora of noises ever ringing in the air.
I know it sounds a little like living in denial, like why pretend to wake up to sunshine when I have a million storms staring me in the face. Well, if you're thinking along those lines, then I'll have to show you what worrying has brought me....sadness and despair, I mean why live like that?
Why be sad when I can be happy?
Why worry when I can work towards what I want?
I'm amazing.
I'm loved by God.
My life is going great.
I'm excelling in all do.
Like I said, I've defined the parameters and I'm working towards it. So, no I'm not living a lie, I'm creating my own reality.
