My Precious Gem

My gem, lucky that I got the gem,

So pure and so lovely, a treasure to cherish within.

Gem so bright and shining, lighting up my life's way,

With your presence, my world is a brighter day.

 

Deep down, it was hidden, but fate had other plans,

When the time was right, you came into my hands.

So pure and lovely, my gem, my guiding light,

Forever with you, my heart takes flight.

 

You are my gem, my husband, my partner true,

Forever and always, my love for you shines through.

In your eyes, my heart finds a home,

With you, I am never alone

Unconditional Listening: A Treasured Bond

 

A listener true, with heart so bright,

My mom, a guiding light, in darkness and light.

No judgment passed, no criticizing tone,

Just a listening ear, that's always my own.

 

From school to office, from joy to strife,

I share my stories, and she lends her life.

Face-to-face or over the phone,

Our conversations flow, like a gentle tone.

 

In sorrow's depths, she's a comforting shore,

In frustration's fire, she's a calming core.

With empathy and love, she hears me out,

And helps me find balance, without a doubt.

 

Endless talking, without a stop,

With my mom, my heart finds its drop.

No lecturing, just a listening space,

Where I can be myself, without a mask or pace.

 

She's my strong hold, my emotional guide,

My happy moment, when I step inside.

The world may rush, but with her, I'm at peace,

My heart finds solace, my soul releases.

The Joy of Wandering

Traveling alone is a great experience. It makes you feel free and calm. When you travel without a plan, you start to notice the small things around you.

Every step you take reveals something new. You hear the sounds of nature, like birds singing and leaves rustling. These sounds are like music to your ears.

As you walk, your thoughts start to clear. You begin to see the world in a new way. You notice the colors, patterns, and textures around you. You feel peaceful and happy.

But sometimes, you get so lost in your own thoughts that you don't even notice the things around you. Your mind starts to wander, and you forget about your surroundings. You're in your own little world, and nothing else matters.

When you travel without a plan, the journey becomes the goal. You don't need to rush to get somewhere. You can just enjoy the moment and keep moving. This makes your heart feel free and happy.

The Paradox of Silence and Expression: A Relational Dilemma

It's often said that silence is golden, but what happens when silence is no longer an option? When there's someone to talk to, but every conversation leaves a feeling of frustration and being unheard?

This difficulty arises when speaking up feels like pouring fuel on a fire that's slowly burning away at a relationship. The negative vibes are palpable, and a choice must be made between expressing oneself and staying silent.

Sometimes, silence is chosen, knowing that a point will never win the conversation, even when it's rooted in fact. Other times, speaking up leads to misinterpretation and twisted negative flames. The exhaustion of constantly correcting and clarifying takes its toll, leaving a sense of drain and defeat.

The irony is that positive vibes are often brought to the table, but those efforts aren't always acknowledged or appreciated. It's a lonely feeling, knowing that emotional labor is being shouldered to keep a relationship afloat.

As this relational dilemma unfolds, a question lingers: is anger justified, or is it just lost in a sea of misunderstandings? The uncertainty is crippling, and finding footing is a struggle.

In the end, it's clear that relationships are a delicate balance of give-and-take, and sometimes, it's necessary to re-evaluate the approach to communication. Perhaps it's time to reassess dynamics and find new ways to connect, lest the silence becomes overwhelming.

The Shattered Façade

Emotions are now out in the open. A strong face is no longer easy to put on, and vulnerability is showing. It's hard to hide feelings, and tears come easily. Small things that didn't used to matter now cause big problems. Even with good things around, one bad comment or experience can be too much to handle. Thoughts are filled with worry, doubt, and fear of being judged. A strong exterior is gone, and a fragile heart is exposed. There's a desire to be strong and confident again. But for now, it's hard to deal with emotions and find a way forward.

It's a tough journey, but it's necessary to face emotions and expectations. The goal is to heal and find oneself again. It's not easy to regain control, but it's possible. With time and effort, it's possible to rebuild strength and confidence. The struggle is real, but it's a step towards a better life. Emotions will still be there, but they can be managed. It's time to take control and move forward, one step at a time.

A Lesson in Self-Prioritization

 Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed with regret, wishing I could undo certain decisions I've made in life. It's a painful realization when you understand that your own desires were more suitable than the expectations of others, including loved ones. When decisions turn out to be both happy and sad, we often see that the alternative path would have been better. At least then, we wouldn't have the weight of responsibility. Now, I'm burdened with the duty to care for others, yet I'm helpless to do so because of the choices I made, prioritizing others' opinions over my own. I've come to realize that I should have put myself first, regardless of how others might judge me. It's not necessary to sacrifice our own will just to gain approval from loved ones. In hindsight, I understand that considering my own needs and desires wouldn't have been selfish, but essential. If only I could go back in time, I would choose differently, but for now, I'm left to navigate the consequences of my decisions, hoping to find a way to reclaim my own happiness and autonomy.

The Lost Art of Listening

 

                                       

In today's world, where social media dominates our lives, we often find ourselves surrounded by people yet struggling to find a genuine listener. Even when someone is physically present in front of us, their attention span is often damaged, and they may not fully engage with our words. It's as if we're left with a choice - either pour out our emotions to an uninterested listener or keep quiet. Many times, we refine our thoughts and feelings, hoping to present them in a way that has meaning with the listener, but even that can fall flat. It's a harsh reality that our voices may not hold significance in the midst of the listener's chaotic thoughts. In such moments, it's essential to recognize that silence can be a liberating force. Instead of seeking validation from others, we can learn to be present for ourselves, calm our minds, and find solace in the stillness. Sometimes, the best course of action is to take a deep breath, acknowledge our emotions, and surrender to the silence. By doing so, we can recharge and prepare ourselves for a more authentic connection when the time is right. In the end, it's not about finding someone to listen but about learning to listen to ourselves and embracing the beauty of silence.
