I am so soft in friendship. My loyalty in friendship is intriguing. I am very impatient with the performative expectations of romantic engagements. Maybe my romantic engagements need to be predicated on friendship. The realest version of a guy is met in friendship with him.

Make it your compass and witness on the days when the lines blur. Let literature speak to your innermost being.

[A. B @fumsymoon]

I make bold of say, there is a poem for every occasion. There is literature for every season, every discourse, for every moment.
When Chimamanda said, “make literature your religion”. I didn’t fully grasps it.
Now I do, make literature your opium.

The universe has a way of recycling goodwill. Let the content of your heart spill, it doesn’t matter if the recipients have the capacity for recompense.
The universe is still in the business of recycling comfort 💕😍

Some things don’t change. Injustice still makes my blood boil and I can’t sleep.
I have not lost my fierceness, I have just not been angry enough.

Today, like every other day that I get to live on this planet, I choose joy!

[A. B @fumsymoon]

You choose to find a way to start living in your dreams and people assume that you have made it in life. But maybe you have, after all what is the culmination of the joy of this pointless existence, if not what you fill it with.

I am realising that work is a convenient buffer in adulthood. Work takes our mind off several things. Helps us pretend or forget for a time and keeps the illusion of normalcy, even when we are falling apart inside.

And the pleasure of being able to do that is so great, it realises an energy that can change more than you may imagine.”

“There is a limited amount that anybody can do in the world. But the one thing everybody can do is alleviate the suffering of someone or something else. You may not be able to take away all of it but you can make it much, much less. It is something you can do everyday.
