TAKE A DEEP BREATHThat’s the very first thing you hear, the moment when your body betrays you. The heart starts beating so fast, to the point when you start doubting if you might die. Your body starts feeling numb, and your lungs run out of breath. In spite of all of that, you’re not doing any kind of activity. That’s when you notice, it’s actually a panic attack. “ Everyone recovers at their own pace “ - Tumblr You go outside that room not knowing or having any sort of idea what happened. Is it because of anxiety? maybe coffee? Or maybe it's just stress? Only God Knows. Thus far… “ I could hear the cracks of my soul breaking apart “. - Tumblr You take a deep breath, you inhale that unclean oxygen. The heart starts beating at a slower pace, you start feeling your body. But, the question is. Are you really okay? Ohh hell no. Nobody is ever okay: happy? Ohh please its just a teaser, a very temporary feeling. Yet, so is sadness, and many rests of feelings are. Whereas, we humans are capable of astonishing things, and one of them is: overcoming things. How come when we cry we feel really sad, but then we feel relief. When something really bad happens, sometimes after we sleep, we wakeup as if nothing happened. “ No matter how painful your past has been, you have made it through “. - Iyanla Vanzant. All what I can say is, keep moving forward.  Photo courtesy of obviously Asma Haddad ©
WHY IS EVERYTHING SO MESSED UP?Don’t you ever wonder why every bad thing happens in your life all of a sudden? It’s almost like a bead that falls so quickly, the moment when the thread is cut. “ Trying to be ' kay” with a “not okay” situation, has to be one of the most heart throbbing experiences” - Exploding Chest ( Tumblr ). I feel sometimes that am really fucked up, in almost everything, and like I try my best to look and act okay. Yet, deep down inside of me, I am complex, that even me can’t deal with me. My only get away from this horrible reality, that I’ve created for myself, is to go to sleep. “ I’m the designer of my own catastrophe "-(Tumblr) You wake up someday feeling good, then everything starts getting messed up one, by one. Then you start questioning yourself, what have you done wrong for you to suffer that much? Where did I go wrong ? Or is this just karma? You start giving up on things, then automatically you start giving up on life. Yet, if you open up your eyes, mind, and soul. You will realize that you’ve got 2 options, either give up completely, like any other person, or fight for what you want. But, if you do realize our topic over here is not about fighting or chasing anything. Let’s say it’s more about why somehow, and sometimes things, or let’s say life, takes a huge turn. Can you guess what’s the answer? Life is messed up. Nevertheless, a life that is so perfect would wind up to be so boring eh? Nothing is more beautiful than imperfections, I don’t know about you guys, however, flaws are really beautiful. All that I can say is the insoluble dilemma of an adult.
