“Haven’t you seen many shots on socials already?”
“So?”
“What’s the point of taking them yourself?”
“If only i could explain the thrill of making your own creation!”

Restraint ≠ 0
It’s PE at equilibrium,
a balance stored in plain sight,
until Δx cracks it into another form of order.
Restraint ≈ PE_eq → Δx → Chaos → Order′
Think about it!
Is this really the right path, she said?
It’s the one that stopped asking me to shrink, I said.
But where does it go, she said?
Maybe nowhere.
Maybe that’s where I need to be, I said.
And happiness?
It came when I no longer needed to name it.
The road’s been travelled.
The distance still lies afar.
No new path needed—
just new eyes.
No turning point.
No grand arrival.
Just a quiet knowing
the page has turned—
even if the hand hasn’t moved.
You are always the bad guy,
in someone’s story somewhere, she said.
In some shoes, you're the villain,
in everyone’s tale, I said.
Maybe you are indeed
a bad guy then, she said.
If words shape the wrong,
not intent, then yes, every time, I said.
Time rolls on, creates some space,
Distance grows, a forgetful chase.
Healing whispers, as moments unfold,
Yet, in time's story, distance is told.
Time's hug brings healing near,
Yet, with distance, clarity may disappear.
Life's a dance of high and low,
Past lessons guide, in the flow.
So when it's great, stay humble, true,
Gratitude, the lens through which you view.
How you stride in joy or fall in strife,
Defines you – the essence of your life.
You might feel you've got it all today,
But recall the times you lost your way.
Confidence may guide you on this date,
Yet remember, once you guessed wrong, not fate.
In the glory of today, don't be blind,
You've conquered darkness; it's in your mind.
Harsh words may slip in your power,
Yet remember, vulnerability was your inner tower.
Thinking all's perfect, nothing to mend,
Yet remember, helplessness was once a friend.
Own your success, but in your prime,
Recall the failures, it's not just time.
