It’s a Mad Mad World…

Emotions gnawing at you, perforating your soul.

Know how that feels?

A normal human is brimming with an assortment of emotions, attending to them every second, every day.

Some transcend, some get vanquished.

It's a mad mad world, where people find love, seek happiness, fall prey to greed and betrayal, and deal with infidelity and heartbreaks.

Some find success, some go astray and hit rock bottom. Nothing is constant, nothing lasts forever. The best of friends in college become strangers in a matter of years.

A person minting a zillion greenbacks might end up getting bankrupt the next year. No one knows what lies ahead. To predict your future, you need to be able to create it.

There is dejection and dysphoria, but there is also exuberance and euphoria. There is agitation and disappointment, so is fulfillment and vindication.

A plethora of emotions surface, get subdued and then resurface. They come in deuces, none without the other. You never know which emotion will possess you when, entrapping you in a vicious deception. One leads, the other trails and within moments the facade changes.

A "let's make love and spread love" mood could be the protagonist tonight; tomorrow it could be a zoned-out "I don't give a fuck" mood. 

Emotions are tricky as needles in a haystack. They play with your mind, manipulate your decisions and control the wheel.

Then there are relationships. Some last, some don't. Some people are conclusively and inexorably in love with each other while some simply believe in serving their privacy on a platter for the world to see and that sums up the contour of their relationship.

But then, not everyone who's single is lonely and not everyone who is taken is happy.

There are times when you struggle to put your sentiments on a shelf. You want to conquer the world, explore yourself, take chances, make mistakes, and follow your instincts without any restraints. They smother your mind, floor your mess, and clear the mist.

Sometimes your mind fools you into doing things which are wrong, let your subconscious mind take over, let your conscience guide you. Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone. It's healthy to be alone once in a while; it tells you that you need absolutely no one to define you.

It's okay to try and it’s alright if you fall down while trying. The one who falls down and gets up is so much stronger than the ones who never fell.

Life is going to knock you down several times and that's okay, what’s not okay is when you let it keep you down...

Strive hard, fight strong, snatch everything that's yours. If you ever feel like giving up, just think why you held on for so long!

It's an everlasting journey, you'll sometimes see a dead end, but as you actuate forward you'll see that it’s just a bend, not the end.

Keep walking, propel your coasters through the seas, and reach the shore, because you have to walk your own path. Some people will walk besides you, some behind you and some ahead of you, but no-one will walk it for you.

Don't let anything or anyone make you feel ordinary; you and only you know what you're made up of, what you're capable of. You're a fireball, dynamite, you choose your own pawns, make your own rules.

If you've given something to the world, there's a lot you can extract out of it. Make the most of what you have, take every day as a new challenge. Let your smile reach your eyes, let your hair breathe, let your face flush red, let that blush find your cheeks.

Those clandestine talents need to come out, time you brought them out of that closet in the attic.

Make a wish, believe in miracles. Sculpt your future, grace the present.

Take a bow, it's show time :)

Only the dead have seen the end of war.

                           -Plato

To know what life is worth, you need to risk it once in a while.

          -Jean-Paul Sartre

To know what life is made up of is the greatest knowledge man can attain and to know how to live it is the most illustrious and proficient skill known to man.
