THE CLIM- THE LIFE

 Climbing is a wonderful, yet an insurmountable objective of our life. Everyone starts at the bottom of the staircase, but only a few make it to the top. Some are drained in the process, whereas others are puzzled in the process of doing so- they simply don't know how to.  On 16 February, 2019 I climbed a rock. Just standing in front of the very rock made my heart jump and head throb, although I still did it. Since this was a school trip and we were divided in groups, I was the leader of my group. Being the leader of my group and not going first would mean I am a coward; what kind of leader follows his/her team mates? A leader must act as an example.  After wearing a harness, I stare at the rock. Can you really prove my weakness? Answer: Yes and no.  Just after I started climbing the rock, I realized how hard it was. Taking one step was definitely harder than climbing the Himalayas (and making it to the top). I struggled. Once. Twice.  "If you don't ge...

OCEANS ARE SHALLOW

 The sand blew into my eyes blocking my view of the deep blue ocean. The coastal rocks were constantly under attack (from these aggressive waves). I acknowledge my presence to this beauty and walk onto the shore of the ocean. The waves tickle my feet as a result of acceptance. Touched by this I go deeper in the ocean.  I chuckle; this is funny. Something so wondrous can be so deadly. Go deeper and you'll be digested and left like a single coral reef. Unnoticed. The sound of the ocean can comfort you, but also make you squeeze your knuckles till they turn into the color of your worst nightmare.  I sit by the waves, feeling the cool warmth of the warmth of the water on my back. How did I find myself here? All I wanted was for the Sun kissing my face, as I feel the soft sand embracing my feet; then why? Why do I always end up in this Ocean?  I try to get up, but this force is keeping me down.The same force that has attracted me this Ocean. The same force tha...

BUTTERFLY- DON'T FLY

    You flutter your alluring wings and rest on my finger. It is indeed beautiful to see you grow from a caterpillar to a breathtaking butterfly. I carefully examine you; motionless so that you stay. (Although, I am afraid you might slip away- if I hold too tight). You need not do anything, just stay here, by my side, to make me happy when I am not.  Be there for me, because I am your equivalent. I am fragile. I snap when someone holds too tight, but on other days, I try. Not everything that falls breaks; you flew and watching you fly has been a blessing to me. Seeing you flutter your colorful wings has given me the feeling of euphoria.  So please stay there for me. The painful truth is that a day will come when your wings shatter and you are no more, but please let me shatter first. Let me tear myself then you can fly away. You try to escape, but I grip harder than before. I'm sorry. I'd rather let you go than tear you apart. Watching you stay even when...

IN A HEARTBEAT

        Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep These four walls have been my sole companions throughout this year. Of course, we've had many interesting interactions and personal conversations. Sometimes I'd laugh at their silence and other times they'd mock my insignificance. Today is the day we celebrate a year of this special bond and I am truly touched. Never have I ever thought that I'd find someone who hangs onto my words like cement. I'm impressed. Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep According to these peculiar men in white coats, a fever has possessed me. If the symptoms of a fever would include teary eyes, desolation, and often torment then, yes. I have a fever. I'm not sure if this story had always been tedious or is now shaping itself in line with my reserved fate. Now that I dip my head on the pillow and face forward, I realize how special I am. My friend(s) has always listened to everything I've got to say. From my favorite boy band to this solitude, they h...

UTOPIA?

Is there a Utopia? If there is what/where would it be?Utopia could not be our world (not for me it isn't, anyway), a world full of peace also cannot be the answer, as peace cannot be attained (a topic to be talked about later). Where is Utopia? ANSWER: The answer is probably what you are thinking...THERE-ISN'T-ONE! We all have different opinions and views upon this world/society. The famous writer of the series "Divergent"-Veronica Roth sees it as a place with factions and diversity (as mentioned in her "World of Divergent" book). But as Joseph Campbell said "No two brains are the same."Similarly, Utopia is supposed to be a"perfect" place, but again I don't understand what perfect is. For me there is no perfect. Everything and everyone are flawed. Utopia? I don't think so.

WE ARE ALL EQUAL

The saddest part about the world is having power and not being accepted in the society. Being in a place so diverse as Earth is truly incredible and not having a chance to embrace that diversity is terrible. Women get all kinds of appreciation, not to mention Women's day, but Women's day last's how long?A day? Out of the three hundred and sixty five days we have only one day in a year to do whatever we want, which I feel is not fair. Everyday should be a day dedicated and celebrated for women. Also the society has come up with a few rules that  SHOULD be (apparently) followed by us-women. a few of those rules include: -Women are not supposed to wear shorts or any kinds of "slutty" dresses. -Women are not supposed to sit cross- legged and not have the right to comfort like men. -Women are always the one's to make tea when guests arrive at home.* -A mother's presence at her son's marriage is considered bad luck. -The brides are the ones going to t...
