She Scribbles

sehnsucht German word; in a wider sense defined as 'intensely missing' Felt out of reach and now that I’m here It’s much more comforting than I imagined it, the separation- I fear A curve is twitching to appear Father speeds up a little- gets into a rhythm jogging up to the cashier                                                    Mother’s eyes looks shinier than ever before I see the eyes hold so many emotions, who knew there didn’t have to be tears The heart clenches thinking of leaving- but it’s meant to be?

The distance tak...

Land of unspoken promises Lasting of twelve years Exposed to a whirlwind of experiences and theories Education: the system teaching what extraordinary people unanimously believed in  strongly enough to impart or was it the acquisition of knowledge and beliefs? Unsure of what has been the greater achievement Understanding and imbibing books as if they were scriptures Or the significant increase in being able to identify what is societally acceptable Overwhelmed by being able to embrace yourself; soul, skin and not boxed in Had it been a less treacherous path Heaviness in my heart, there is no regret in what I hath Bemused by all these exceptionally unseen eventualities Basking in the profits of late nights, sweat and tears of the tough grind Inside and out; insecurities and scars I learn; do not judge based on the difference- varied in sins, flaws lined out, it is ours Never did I realise; I can mould myself into whatever outline and shape Neg...

As the first week of the new year has passed,  I have compiled 16 things that were taught to me in 2016. I hope you relate or maybe even realise, through this post. The new year is filled with new lessons, new opportunities and a fresh chance to be able to do all that you have wished to and I hope you achieve exactly that.  Happy Reading :) -- (1) Being selfless is always a great quality to admire. Sometimes,  being selfish  (not to the extent to what the word implies) is necessary.  Just like how  sense&sensibilty go hand-in-hand, I believe that  being  selfish&selfess are complementary. (2) People are not permanent. WARNING: And this is okay! Whether you are a student, daughter, friend, worker or whichever role you play in the society, we all grow. Maybe we grow apart, outg...

Trudging up to the edge of 2016; into the new year, diving headfirst, With lessons and memories; for a life of knowledge, in me is a thirst.
