The Way I See It...

Fandom
 The community of people that have the same interests in a certain TV show/ movie/ singer/ book, etc. is known as a fandom. They each share a passion/ strong devotion for the show/movie/singer/book/actor etc.

Every fandom has a name.

For example:

Twilight: Twihards
Harry Potter: Potterheads
One direction: Directioners
Demi Lovato: Lovatics
Stana Katic: Stanatics
Castle: Casketteers
Doctor Who: Whovians
Glee: Gleeks
and many more.

The might of a fandom can be seen when they trend hash tags at the speed of lightening on twitter and also when there are polls that include their objects of affection to vote for.

Fan Fiction

Fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, film, etc. is called Fan fiction.
 Fans write fan fiction to unleash their imagination, making up stories, the way they want it to be, using the characters they love the most. Fan fictions can be of a particular show, or it can have characters of two or more shows put together. (Cross-overs)

Terms used in fan fictions:
AU: Alternate Universe stories
OOC: Out Of Character
POV: Point Of View
One shot: refers to a single story that can be read and understood in full without having read any other prior story.
Canon: refers to elements established by the original source material
AN: Author’s Notes
Review: Thoughts, feedback and views of the readers.
PM: Private messages.


Shipping

The word shipping comes from the word RelationSHIP. It is usually used with regards to Fictional characters, when one talks about investing in the relationship between two fictional characters, he/she is said to be shipping the two characters.
(Used in a sentence: I ship A and B)

Shipping includes making photo edits,(Fan art) videos and huge blog posts about the two characters.

Shipper names:

From the act of shipping came the idea of shipper names. The duo that is being shipped is sometimes given a name. It is usually created by the fans themselves by merging the two names of the said characters.

For example:
Kurt and Blaine (Glee) : Klaine
Castle and Beckett (Castle) : Caskett
Callie and Arizona (Grey’s anatomy) : Calzona
Magnus and Alec (The mortal Instruments) : Malec

Used in a sentence:
I ship Klaine.
OR
I’m a hard-core Caskett shipper


OTP

OTP is an abbreviation that stands for One True Pair. You may be part of many fandoms and may ship many fictional relationships, but one of them is your OTP.
Your OTP is the one relationship you ship the most.


Fangirling (Verb)

Urban dictionary defines fangirling as:
1. The reaction a fangirl has to any mention or sighting of the object of her “affection”. These reactions include shortness of breath, fainting, high pitched noises, shaking, fierce head shaking as if in the midst of a seizure, endless blog posts, etc.”

2. A gathering of two or more fangirls in which they proceed to waste endless amounts of time ogling, discussing/arguing, stalking, etc. the object of their affection

Used in a sentence:
the minute she saw the new episode title on twitter, she started fangirling.
OR
we fangirled over Castle the entire afternoon.

Fangirling on social networking sites is very common and has become very popular. Fangirls make special profiles to use for fangirling with other fangirls of the fandom.

Exclamations commonly used while fangirling:
- What is Air!
- I can’t even!
- I think I just died!
- ASDFGHJKL!
- Feels!!!
- Shut the front door! (A Casketteer favourite)

That Sweet Fragrance


You're so used to routine.
It's always been done this way.
Then why try to change it?
You've always known it to be this.
You don't know any different.
you can't do any different.
You're afraid of 'Different'.
Change has always been your worst enemy.
he comes along, turns your world upside down, and leaves with a wicked smile plastered on his face, while you mourn the differences.
You take time. You always do
And so when Mr.Change comes along, you beg and plead for him to leave you and your life untouched.
But he's a stubborn basket case.
He won't listen to your pleas.
It's takes him half as much time to cause the damage, than it does for you to pick up the pieces.
But what you don't realize is, that he is a constant visitor in your life, he won't leave you.
He's stuck to you like glue.
The only thing left to do then, is to wake up and smell the roses.
Stop living your theoritical world. Accept reality.
If change is what's destined to happen, It will.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Embrace it, Work with it, Work around it. Deal with it.
And if you don't like roses. Then go get yourself a pot of daisies.
Be practical.
Sitting and waiting for the world to hear your cries doesn't lead you anywhere.
Step into reality and accept what's different from the usual.
It's about time I bet.

Fighting For Her


He's lying beside her and watching her sleep,
Wondering to himself, how much longer, this secret he could keep?
He needs to tell her, she needs to know,
That sooner or later he would have to go.
His fingers play with a curl of her hair, and then places it neatly behind her ear.
Shes so peaceful, so at ease, comfortable and with no fear.
And he can't help but wonder what it would be like for her, without him near...
Would she still sleep well at nights, or would she, for him shed many a tear.
He knew her too well...
Emotions, she hid from the world, come to haunt her at night.
And she'd wake up with a jolt and burry herself in his side.
But what would she do without him, when those ghosts of the day wait for her at dusk?
Whom will she seek comfort in, when it's only him that she trusts.
He's scared to tell her, he's scared to leave
In her heart a fear he doesn't wish to conceive.
But hiding this isn't doing him any good
He's running out of time to tell her, and he knows he really should.
He's deteriorating slowly and he's gonna grow weak soon
His bodys showing signs... He's growing less immune.
And if he doesnt tell her now, when he still has time to love,
He'll regret these last few months of his, when he's watching over her from above
So he lightly taps his sleeping lover,
An attempt to gently stir her awake.
She shifts a little and mumbles under the covers,
Something soft and innocent about a birthday cake.
And hes reminded again that it's his birthday tomorrow...
And here be was, about to fill her with sorrow.
He can't help but feel sick when he begins to wonder
That this will be his last birthday he'd be spending with her.
And so when she looks up at him with those shiney blue eyes,
All he wishes tonight, is that he'll remeber them when he dies
She asked him sleepily "What's wrong, is everything alright?"
"I just wanted to say, you'll always be mine"
and she looked at him suspiciously until he continued
"You'll always be mine till the end of time"
And he kissed her, hiding the truth from her yet again.
He'll protect her from the pain of it, not knowing till when.
He'll bear both their sorrow until the time is right.
And until then he'll stay strong for her, he wont give up the fight.

ALWAYS, for Eternity.


If it wasn't for him she'd be down on the ground
Sinking lower into the depths of pain and lonliness...
Left there to cry her emotions away...
After being dumped for no fault of hers.
She should have known she was being played
She should have known they never stay
But then a new life came along and now her life is a song
One that rings in her ears
One that drives away the fears
And wipes away the tears..
His touch could heal her growing pains,
the ones that came from the wounds on her skin
And also the ones she suffers from within.
For, his touch is not just an ordinary touch
It's so much more.
And if she knew better she'd give it a word
But it still wouldn't describe what she feels when he's around
He's her north star, her solid ground.
He keeps her up, standing tall
Even when, in this wild world, she feels small
He holds her like shes his very own
Cacooned in his arms, warm in his strong hold..
Cause even though she knows she's survived,
She still has nightmares, of the nights she's cried
And when those horrible memories come knocing at her mind
He's the one holding her from behind...
"I'll catch you if you fall, love" he whispers at night
"I'll never let you out of my sight"
And she closes her eyes and buries herself into his side.
Never more, her face to hide.
For she knows he's the one
He's stuck around long enough for her to be sure.
That however scarred or damaged she may be,
He'll be her shelter from the hail and snow
Her 'Always' for eternity.

Shadows of You


They say forgiveness is the best gift you could give someone when they've done you wrong.
Wrap it up with a bow and a kiss and everything will be okay again.
Everything will be back to normal.
Well, I did you wrong, and youre not around anymore for me to know what you think.
And well, I don't know what's normal anymore.
It isn't normal to let go of something you love..
All the more, when it's taken away from you, without your consent...
But what if I didn't really have a claim over it?
What happens then?
What if I didn't care for it enough, for it to feel a pinch? ; to think twice before walking into the abyss of light. Before leaving.
You're not here to tell me it's alright
And I can't help but wonder if it will ever be.
You left us with nothing but memories of you,
Pictures and gifts and crazy letters we wrote for fun.
Buts that all they are and will be.
Memories.
I could fill all of my four walls with photos of you but they will never be the same. Photos are mere paper.
Memories of the real you, are silhouettes dancing at the back of my mind right now.
But even dancing silhouettes of you don't seem to suffice.
You'd want us not to do this, of that I'm sure.
You'd want nothing more than for us to be happy.
I even know that you've sent forgiveness in a way that's too divine to be displayed.
But what if forgiveness isn't enough?
What then, are we supposed to hold on to, when every memory of your's is burnt into our minds and will never leave.
None of it is enough.
The memories, the words, the forgiveness...
Its all just there and I know it will always be.
I want more.
I deserve more.
but so did you...
And that's exactly what keeps  me from accepting all of this.. The fact that I let you slip through my fingers like the sand of the shore.
I have nothing left but hands covered in a brown sheen of soil.
Dirty. Ruined. Unworthy.
That's why all I really can do, is hope. Hope that someday I will learn to accept you're gone.
But until then... It's ur memories that will cling to me, that will remind me that none of this will ever be enough...
None of this will ever be what I miss the most.
'YOU'

The Labour Of Love


Who said a relationship is ever easy?
Every thing about it screams TROUBLE.
And if taking a step ahead,
Makes you feel nothing but scared...
Then you know love isn't just a kiss and a cuddle.
It's an equation to be solved,
Balancing each variable with passing days.
A give and a take, to make or break...
A relationship that could easily go either way.
At every step there is an effort involved.
A new day brings more issues to be solved.
Why then do people put themselves through such pain?
What is it, that they stand to gain?
Every two persons who wish to be together,
Dream of the future: an 'ALWAYS and FOREVER'
And when they take that extra effort to make things work,
They prove to the other just how much it's worth.
The Labour of Love, I believe,
gives one a unique emotion.
It's a joy of some kind that comes from devotion.
It's the joy of taking that extra step forward,
And knowing your better half will acknowledge the effort.
The Labour of Love is one that inspires.
Ignites a flame in your love that will never tire.
It's a labour that you, will one day comprehend...
Is the essence of a relationship that has no end.
So take that leap, go the extra mile,
Go out of your way to make your partner smile.
Do something sweet, say something kind...
The Labour of Love will branch into care and contentment combined.

Never Say Goodbye


I believe that you're somewhere safe,
A place like no other,
A place no one else could offer you.
I believe that when u said goodbye,
You said it with a heavy heart.
You didn't really want to part.
I believe that when the clouds opened up for u, u felt light.
And the brightness was refreshing illuminating a life of the dark.
I believe you inhaled the sweet fragrance of the sky
And at once knew He was nigh.
I believe you jumped onto a fluffy cloud, the whitest of them all,
never for once fearing a fall.
I believe that when you saw His face,
You ran into his arms,
into his warm, loving embrace.
I believe you sat by his side and explained to him
What exactly made you leave.
I believe he comforted you and gave you a reprieve
He cleansed you and made you whole, his graces you received
I believe you're watching over me, from above that endless sky...
Clad in white, angelic and bright,
I have no wonder why.
But there's just one thing I do not wish to believe...
However much you try.
I refuse to think you've left for good
I refuse to say goodbye.
I'll  love you ALWAYS
whether you're near or far away.
And even if you don't feel the same,
You are missed by me, for ever and a day.
<3

The Crack In The Wall

Brick by brick you built them up
Reaching for that limitless sky
Cementing them with a bond so tight
Knowing no one will ever get by.
Surrounding yourself with a barrier so strong
Wanting nothing but yourself to belong
And in your ears you’d hear a pity song
One that people would sing along.
Never letting any one through
You’d hide behind your wall
Sheilding yourself from what you thought would hurt
Preventing yourself from yet another  fall
Fear was never the reason for it
You’ve faced scarier days
What then, keeps you hiding from the world?
What keeps you away?
Don’t let those walls define you,
Don’t let them hold you back.
Someday a soul will come along
And lead you on the right track.
And when those walls of closure from the world, that you built,
Come down to the ground and turn into silt,
You’ll see then that love overcomes all trials..
And you no longer need to live in denial.
The one who crept into your hiding place…
The one who set you free…
Will be the one you’ll know for sure,
deserves, with you, to be.
For even when the world around you ignored you and your wall
This special person,
didn’t give up on you
And helped you stand tall.
Love is that which breaks all obstacles
And never lets you fall
It builds relations that matter
Be it big or small.

License To Love

How do you know when you're in love?
All the songs begin to make sense.
And how would you know who Mr. Right is?
You’ll have to live out the suspense.
And when he does come along
A knight in shiny armour, brave and strong…
Don’t be so smitten
That you don't see right from wrong
Keep your head on your shoulders at all times
Dont ever let him play you or take you for a ride
Whats love then, if you feel used.
Rather, in each other, you should be able to confide.
And when times get rough, don’t make it the news of the town.
It helps in no way and will only bring you down.
Talk out your insecurities and be honest and true
The solution will be easily found, it’ll surprise you.
Be careful when, a way into someones life, you charm,
That you cause no damage, hurt or harm
For, what good is awakening the heart of someone
When you had no intention of being her ‘only one’
Live to love.. And give life through it too
Don’t be selfish.. Or it may come back to bite you. 

Shopping Mania

The world we live in, seems rather strange
It all begins around teenage
Its a phase we go through that may never end
If only we had enough money to spend
Be it window shopping or the actual thing
It gives us pleasure and makes us sing
The smell of new clothes and bags, gives us a high
If only in this world, every mall i could buy
From scarves, to new dresses, shirts and ties
we never really realize how money flies
This shirt makes me look fat, those jeans show off my curves
And when that pretty dress doesnt fit, I get unerved
But what’s all this hype about shopping these days
Is it permanent or just a passing phase
The world will never exist without a shopaholics craze
So ‘shop till you perish’ is the new trending phrase.

The Thing I Hate The Most

I hate it when there’s homework
I hate it when i can’t sleep
but the thing i hate the most
is being told a secret, i can’t keep.
I hate it when it rains too much
I hate it when it’s too sunny
But the thing I hate the most
is trying to be funny.
I hate it when mom burns the toast
or when she forgets to add the salt
but the thing I hate the most
is when she tells me it’s my fault
I hate it when my friends ridicule
My obsession with TV shows
But the thing I hate the most
is talking about earings ribbons and bows.
I hate it when the alarm goes off
and disturbs a special dream
But the thing I hate the most
Its fruit salad without ice cream
I hate it when my laces dont match
Or when the radio doesn’t play my favourite song
But the thing I hate the most
Is when the principal’s speech is too long
The things I hate are random
And mostly out of the blue
But really, the thing I hate the most
Is trying to impress you.

Balancing Love

It’s the people who have lost a loved one to Death, who are always giving love out to others.
They know whats it’s like to lose love and hence..  they are ever-ready to fill that gap in the lives of others.
There is an urge in them to love and be loved.
And I think these are people we should learn lessons of life from. 
They have a whole different outlook to life because life took away something important from them and they don’t want their dear ones to ever experience an absence of love and care.

These people wont show you the gap they feel in themselves.. but will go out of their way to let you forget yours.

And when such people meet.. there is a continuous flow of understanding and care.. that it overwhelms you, what a loss of a loved one can do.

The Battle Inside Me

I always thought that being hyper-aware of your emotions was a good thing, being in touch with your feelings is good… 
and very few people have the ability to do so.
But I’ve come to a point now.. an intense situation where I wish I wasn’t in touch with my emotions.
One thing I’ve learned about myself, is that I can recognize easily when my ego is hurt.
And right now… My ego is hurt.
But that’s not all.. 
I’m so aware of what I’m feeling.. and I know I’m not supposed to have these emotions about the situation… cause its not mine to have… 
I have no right to feel this way… It’s selfish of me to feel this way!
and now I’m unable to discern the real reason for each emotion individually.
So to sum up all of this…
I don’t exactly know what I’m feeling… I just know for sure, it’s not good. 
It can’t be right.

Let Me Fix This

I want to fix myself up for you
I’m broken, tattered, torn and scarred
But you deserve more, you deserve better,
and I want to be more, for you.
Would it be selfish of me to ask you to wait?
Cause I know I will take time to heal.
I believe we can be beautiful together,
You and i can be perfect.
You are wonderful and you deserve the best,
so I’m going to work on me for you.
You’ve said you love me a million times,
And i want to be able to say I love you too.
So hold on to me, I know I’m not the easiest to get to know,
but one day when I’m feeling brand new,
and ready to move forward,
I’ll let you in, beyond my heart’s door.

Life's Road

And when another day begins,
I’ll rise with new hope
to make a difference in life’s road
however steep the slope.

The road will be rocky
and astoundingly long
but life’s never shown me a situation till date,
that cannot be made easier with a song.

So I’ll sing my way along life’s path
and jump every obstacle I face
I’ll follow the road that’s fit for me
and my dreams, along it, I will chase.

The people i meet along my journey
will be many a friend or foe,
some will smile and push me forward,
and some won’t care where i go.

But life will go on for me
and I’ll keep moving on.
at times it’ll be a leisurely stroll,
and sometimes, a marathon
And when another day begins,
I’ll rise with new hope
to make a difference in life’s road
however steep the slope.

Life Gets In The Way

Life gets in the way sometimes,
and keeps you from doing what makes you happy, what makes your life livable.
crazy isn’t it? 
The one thing you live life for, and life gets in your way.

Keeping Secrets?

The person I want, wants the person I have.
confused much?
yup, I thought so too.
sometimes, things don’t need to be expressed verbally for people to understand.
If its on your mind, its on your face too.

Death Can't Do Us Part

When you allow yourself to let someone in to your life, like no other has ever been let in, you manage to reserve that place in your heart just for that special someone.
But what happens when suddenly, he/ she disappears off the face of the earth for good? 
What happens to the gap in you,
that empty space that cant be filled with another…
They say time heals all wounds.. but what if you don’t want this one to heal? what if you don’t want this one to close up or be filled with anyone else?
That special place in your heart for that special someone will always be theirs.
I lost a dear friend of mine lately.. to a demon called Death.
but no one, nothing can erase her memory from my heart.
Not even Death can wipe her away from my life.

You sneeked your way into my life somehow, made it crazy and then left suddenly. Not fair you know.
so I’m not letting go of you.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Out of sight is out of mind.
but absence makes the heart grow fonder.
i finally understood the depth of truth in this line.. and it took me all but a day away from a loved one who made an impulsive decision, to realize how true it is.

and its weird cause I’ve never felt this kind of emotion before..
its a mix of anger, sadness, and hopelessness.
and it makes me wonder when on earth did i fall so deep into this relationship. :P
I never realized how invested i was until the morning you left.
and it amuses me to think how much of a difference a person’s absence can make in your life.
I hope your stay away helps with whatever you needed to be closer to or away from
but come home soon.
you are missed. <3
“Life is not a spectator sport; win, lose or draw, the game is in progress whether we want it to be or not. So go ahead, argue with the refs, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play hard, play fast, play loose and free; play as if there’s no tomorrow. Ok so, It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game, right?”

— Meredith Grey, Greys anatomy.

Be Extraordinary

Make a decision…
Make up your mind…
You could choose to be simple,
or you could chose EXTRAORDINARY.
Why be simple when you have a world of opportunities that could make you an Extraordinary person?
Take that rocky road… walk that extra mile… Be Extraordinary.
Don’t settle for whats served to you on a plate… demand the best,
for you deserve nothing but the best.
You deserve to be treated right
Be Extraordinary.
What good is it, if you are just ordinary?
what good is it, that you are just as smart, just as content as the next guy?
I’ll tell you.
it’s no good.
You don’t want to be ordinary.. you shouldn’t want to be ordinary!
You want to Be Extraordinary.
So go for it. Do what you need to and show that you can BE EXTRAORDINARY.

Hide and Seek

I wonder… 
is it wrong to be in touch with your emotions?

There are two types of people in my life…
ones who are aware of the emotions that sometimes rule them,
and the others who ignore their emotions and keep them away in a box of keepsakes, to open, maybe some later time in life.
The former are in touch with their inner selves…
they understand everything they go through in various stages of life,
and give themselves time to take control over it.
The drawback in such a situation is that they sometimes over-think things.. And that leads to unnecessary worry and doubt. 
They find it hard to ignore an unhealthy emotion because they’re reminded of it at every passing moment, in the depths of their minds.
Its like a continuous commentary, that just won’t shut up.
They SEEK someone to express themselves to.. but are never really able to trust fully.
Whereas the latter, who are unaware of their feeling and emotions… justify the idiom “ignorance is bliss”
I’ve noticed.. that for some of these people.. not being in touch with their feelings works out pretty well for them.
They never allow themselves to question “why? what? who?…
They take things as they come, and let go of them as it leaves.
They hide their emotions away from themselves.. possibly due to fear of facing the raging battle within themselves. 
They HIDE from a battle that the former fights everyday…
and they don’t even realize how fatal their pent up emotions can end up to be.
“Rejection isn’t failure. Failure is giving up. Everybody gets rejected. It’s how you handle it that determines where you’ll end up.”

— Richard Castle

Every Book Tells It's Own Story

Our lives are like books,
stacked upon the shelves of the world’s library.
Each of us holds a story, one better than the other.
Some of us are light, easy to hold on to- Paperbacks.
While some of us are Hardcover- rigid, heavy and durable.
Each type having it’s own merits and demerits in the right proportions to stay balanced.
Some of us are best-sellers, some not so much, while some are hardly read.
Each of us have something interesting to depict on the cover, some go for simple, while some like it detailed and intricate, and of course, there are some who overdo it.
They come with a little summary of its contents, written on the outside.
But the beauty of the book lies in its contents.
You never know the real story until you read every chapter.
Every book has its own backstory, views, opinions, attitude and ego.
But you’ll never really know it until you read it through.

Think about it… Do you judge a book by its cover???
“There is a story about the greek gods. They were bored, so they invented human beings, but they were still bored, so they invented love. Then they weren’t bored any longer, so they decided to try love for themselves. And finally they invented laughter, so they could stand it.”

— Harry Stevenson, Feast of Love

Fly High Young One

Each of us rely on someone to get by our younger years.
And when we reach the stage to let go, it gets difficult,
even though we know we’re going to a better place,
towards making a future for ourselves.

You grew beautifully under the guidance of such a mentor, 
And now suddenly, spreading your wings and flying solo seems like the scariest thing to do.
But such fear must be overcome.
It’s the only best way to thank your mentor.
So that he/she can rest assured that all those years of guiding you, did not go in vain.
So that you prove to yourself and to everyone who belittled you,
that you no longer need someone to lift your wings to help you fly.

You can now soar high on your own, touching that limitless sky, and reaching for the stars, and grasping those silver linings, breaking through those dark clouds with ease.

Here And There

HERE is never where we want to be.
We’re never satisfied with HERE.
Being THERE is our aim
but where is THERE, and do we know what it’ll take to reach it?
Why can’t we be happy with HERE, and live HERE?
Why do we keep craving for more?
And even when that THERE becomes a HERE,
there will just be another THERE to be at.
It’ll never end, this vicious circle we live in, where every next patch of greenery is greener than the one we’re standing on.
And sometimes the ‘green’ gets to the head…
and it’s not achievements that make us wanna go THERE,
its the evil ‘green’ in us.

Appreciate

The inability to express yourself is a disability.
Your pent up emotions and feelings will grow in you like a cancer, deteriorating your soul, and only creating more problems.
Its the reason i believe in letting people know how much their presence in my life means to me.
I believe that when you get something off your chest like that, your heart feels lighter.
I believe its important for people to know it, when they make a difference in your life.
Don’t wait for the ‘right moment’.
You can never really know when that moment may come and go,
and leave you with no knowledge that it passed you by.
There’s no moment like now.
God forbid, you may never get a chance like NOW ever again.
make good use of the present, tell that special person you care.
Appreciate!

Sweet Somethings

Each of us have souvenirs from different stages in our lives.
We have a little box or drawer or pouch in which we keep such memories.
They could be letters from a friend or a loved one, things that are significant of a beautiful moment in our lives;
Memories from a time in our life that we don’t want to forget or let go of.
its comforting.
reminds us of the past that we never want to leave behind.. a past we wish, could be the present..
we hold on to it, so that one day in the future, when we find it in an old dusty drawer again.. that nostalgic feeling will lighten our hearts, at that point of time when they seem to be overburdened with unreasonable worries.
and that smile that will involuntarily crawl onto our faces will be one that reaches the heart too :)

It's Worth It

I think everyone should have something in their lives that puts a grin on their face.
it could be anything
a friend, a lover, a good book, a beverage, a gadget, a T.V show, a music playlist… anything!
cause when everything seems blown out of proportion and you’ve had a really rough day..
all you wanna do is come home to something that will cheer you up,
something that’s personal and only you can relate to.
it keeps you going… it allows you to be in a world of your own, even if its just for a few moments. 
its worth it!

Brown Eyed Beauty

I know a pair of brown eyes,
that seem deeper and darker than the deepest of valleys.
Browns that stare at you and manage to melt your heart into a puddle of happiness.
Browns that shine in the sunlight, and glisten lightly in the dark.
and never fall short of a friendly, warm spark.
Browns that send a cool wind your way
and carries with it, your apprehensions away.
Browns that make you stammer and stutter, and may even leave you dumbfounded.
that have your feet lifted of the earth, yet keep you grounded.
Browns that hide behind soft lids and dark lashes when the sun sets and the days hopes are gone,
and awakens again at sunrise to gaze at a hopeful new morn.
Browns that get moist but never let a tear fall out, for fear of appearing timid
browns that can be comforting, understanding, sacrificing and ALWAYS giving.
You are loved, oh brown eyed beauty!

They Care

Don’t say you have no one.
you have people in this world that love you.
So what if they don’t show it often or easily?
that doesn’t mean they don’t care.
your life means something to these people.
I’m sure you have someone who looks up to you, would you want to let him/her down?
Every breath you inhale and exhale is important to them.
Every heartbeat in time makes a difference.
They care!
Its a care that’s very rarely shown
but when it is, it melts your heart, it makes you feel good, loved.
You’re not alone cause you have so many who want you.
you make a difference to the world
To me.

A Love To Let Go

What do you do, when someone you care about deeply is pulling away?.. drifting away slowly…
you make excuses for them, refusing to admit to yourself that he/she doesn’t need you anymore.
of course you loved feeling needed, in fact, it was never a one-sided aspect, you needed him/her just as much…
but what’s the use of making up excuses.. you’ll just end up fooling yourself…
For a while its sufficient, you can live with the excuses you make up for them,
but you cant live long that way.
sometimes you gotta let go,
and maybe, hopefully, just maybe, one day, the love you let go, will come back to you in its most beautiful form.

Face The Music

You’ve gotta feel the music creep into your mind,
let the melody flow through your veins,
time your heartbeat with the kick of the drum,
try to differentiate the numerous beats from each other,
lose yourself to the sound of the strings being pulled to create powerful acoustics,
listen to each instrument individually… and then allow it to blend together in your mind.
Become one with the song…

That’s just the way i wanna live my life, 
taking things one step at a time, facing things individually, 
not collectively.
its more simple that way.
I want to love what i do, and I want to let it become a part of who I am.
I want to enjoy the music of life.
