These Days

 

These days, I'm only sharing the story of my happiness to those I trust the most, as well as the reason behind my sorrow. That's how I protect myself now—I am sheltering myself on the best way that I can.

I'm doing this because I know, there are people who will want to take away my smiles again; few who are not happy to see me happy. And there are also the ones making fun of my downfall.

It's peaceful. And that's how I realised that I don't really need the whole world just to survive this life; I only need few whom I can truly rely on to.

You know why you feel so tired 'though you haven't done much of physical work today? It's because you keep on running within your head; you are chasing some thoughts within your mind that have been meandering around there for days now.

You are so busy—mentally—to the max that you can't even hear other's words of advice; but I hope this time, you will listen intently.

I want you to rest tonight—and when I say "rest", it doesn't only mean you have to lay in bed, close your eyes, and fall asleep; then tomorrow, you will do the same old routine.

Include your mind on the rest that you will do; try to stop over analysing things, it won't help you. You deserve to be free from and to break that prison cell within your head—I know, and I believe, you can also create a home for you inside of it.

People tend to misunderstood solitude and sometimes it is seen as being selfish—but it is not. It’s not being socially awkward, not being anti-social, not being entirely withdrawn and not being lonely or sad.

Solitude is something more than these misconceptions and if you feel like being away from the crowd, go, take steps away, take time and find rest among nature and yourself.

It’s true when they say, solitude will fill you more than it will empty you.

I would love to go and travel to a countryside, or sit by the sea away from the chaos in the city.

Just nature, peace, silence, calmness, true happiness, pure connection and be the person greater than the person I thought I could be.

And there, I would set my heart free even just for a day, and I think that would be lovely.
