☽ The Quiet Storm


A story ~ The Quiet Storm

The truth is, I don’t know anything.

How do I know this? 

Well, I don’t know, ask someone else.

The truth is, I’m scared to know more.

It only reveals the monumental wall of questions I have to ask because of one answer.

The truth is, that it would be easier to run away.

It would be easier for me, but crippling for the ones who know me.

The truth is, that I’m not wise.

I’ve just made more mistakes, and had a harder time learning from them.

The truth is, that I don’t fit into this world, so much, that I do fit in it.

If everyone is special, then no one is.

The truth is, that the truth is not my own.

I am just a blank sheet of paper that is crumpled and crumbling away into a fine white powder that will dissolve once it hits the water.

I am the remains of a person who used to believe that belief was all that they needed.

The truth is, that this isn’t the truth.

It’s what select people call the truth.

But when something is true, it doesn’t mean that we know it is.

So, am I pretending to be something I'm not?

No, I'm probably not.

I'm just living day to day, like everyone tells me to.

While listening to this song:

You could look at.....a rotating electric fan blowing cool, evening air into your bedroom.

You could be with.....those imaginary friends at night.

You could do something.....that makes you feel like you're free from the constraints of others. Perhaps, make some shadow puppets if you feel like it.

You could eat or drink.....iced cappucino coffee.

You could remember that.....your truth may be someone else's truth, but it probably isn't. Find your truth.

☽ Jantung Hati

[image source: Mr. Sonjaya (Youtube) ] A story ~ Jantung Hati [ jantung hati means "apple of my eye"] Follow the one who walks where she may, Footprints behind shake off ash and gray. Polished pearls dazzle Parade, parade Umbrellas of red leaves, catch  the rain. Apple of my eye Clipped from the branch. Roll on, roll on Slipping underneath, Shadows of a sheath, Ripely bruised from a beating. Talk, talk, talk. A harvest fresh to eat. Echo, echo. We can't choose our families, Walk, walk, walk. Unless we run from our mothers. The brightest halo  is always kin, To the shadow under its cover. Roll over and over Soon it will be over. She's been through it once, And through it another. Abandoned, But free. Running through hues Of red leaves. The apple of my eye, Reconciling. 🍁 🍁 🍁 While listening to this song: You could look at..... red and orange leaves during autumn. You could be with..... a dear friend or relative who you know has been tested through the ups and downs...

☽ Terlukis Indah

[image source: Liputan6 ] A story ~ Terlukis Indah [terlukis indah means "beautifully painted"] "I'm pretty sure many people have asked you out." "What? Really? I'm not girlfriend material though." "What do you mean?" "Well you know, I'm just...socially awkward." "Yeah but, it's a quirk though. You're quirky." "Um, it's a quirk yeah--until it isn't."  Sometimes, I'd always look at other girls and I'd wonder what it would be like to look so stunning. Kpop idols are compared to flawless anime characters, Hollywood celebrities transform into international sex icons, and I look like just one of millions of Asian girls with glasses. To me, it's always appeared like being physically hot gave someone so much privilege (followers, complements, status) to the point that it was like the pre-requisite for attractiveness. Though, what my friend told me, plus some other things I learned I g...
