Love Lessons.

That inside feeling of wanting

It hurts to love someone
and not to be loved in return.
But what is more painful is
to love someone and never 
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

Maybe God wants us to meet
a few wrong people
before meeting the right one
so that, when  we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Love is when you take away the feeling, 
the passion and the romance in a relationship,
and find out, you still care for that person.
A sad thing in life is when you meet someone
who means so much to you,
only to find out in the end
that it was never meant to be.
and you just have to let go.
when the door of happiness closes
another opens
but often times we looked so long at the closed door
that we don't see the one which has been opened for us
The best kind of friend
is the kind you can just, be with
never say a word
and then walk away feeling,
like it was the best conversation you have ever had.

It is true that we don't know
what we have got, until we loose it
But it is also true that,
We don't know what we have been missing,
until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love,
is never an assurance that, 
they would love you back
Don't expect love in return.
Just wait for it to grow in their heart.
But if it doesn't,
be content, it grew in yours.

There are things you would love to hear,
that you would never hear from the person 
whom you would like to hear them from,
But don't be so deaf, 
as not to hear it from the one,
who says it from their hearts

Never say goodbye if you still want to try,
Never give up if you still feel you can go on.
Never say you don't love a person anymore,
If you can't let go.

Love comes to those who still hope,
although they have been disappointed,
To those who still believe, 
although they have been betrayed.
To those who still needs to love,
although they have been hurt before.
And to those who have the courage and faith
to build trust again.

It takes only a minute
to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone
And a day to love someone.
But it takes a lifetime,
to forget someone.

Don't go for looks, they can deceive
Don't go for wealth, even that fades away.
Go for someone, who makes you smile
because it takes only a smile, 
to make a dark day seem bright.

Hope you find that someone, that makes you smile.

Intentionality.

For starters, happy new year. I have been mulling on doing a piece on intentionality for a while and, for sure, I have mentioned a bit of it to those that I have struck deeper notes of life with.  Well, in brief, intentionality is a philosophical concept that refers to the capacity of the mind to be directed toward an object, idea, or state of affairs. It is a fundamental aspect of consciousness, enabling individuals to have thoughts about something, engage in purposeful actions, and maintain focus on specific goals or outcomes. Originating from the work of philosopher Franz Brentano in the 19th century, intentionality distinguishes mental phenomena from physical phenomena by highlighting the inherent directedness or "aboutness" of mental states. In everyday life, intentionality manifests in our ability to plan, deliberate, and navigate complex social interactions, as it involves both conscious and unconscious mental processes that guide behaviours and decision-making. In tha...

Learning the ropes.

A reset is something that hits you when you least expect it. Just like sickness, it knocks at your door at odd hours, bringing with it a period of great adjustments and shifts.  A bit of a background story, a couple of weeks ago, I was reading an anecdote by Norman Vincent Peale (the father of positive thinking) where the author posits that one should change their thoughts if they wish to change the world.  This got me thinking; all those instances where I have seen people on the streets or in restaurants in seemingly boisterous conversations and showing broad smiles unassumingly made me think that they might be living life happier than mine. I assumed that they were happier than me or even smarter than me. Instances are rife where we sit in our little apartments imagining what it would be like to be someone else.  That feeling that we often behold that everyone around you seems to be doing better than you, or the one where we feel that piles upon piles of decks are stack...

Home: A Realm Within

Perhaps today is not the day for memoirs, but a little churn and a twist from the norm. Today, I write about home—a place we often go back to at the end of a rough or a jolly good day. A home is not just a place, but a realm within us. A space where we find peace, contentment, and joy. Home is the scent of familiar spices wafting from the kitchen, the creak of a well-trodden wooden floor, the soft hum of voices that know our stories without needing to ask. It is the quiet sanctuary after a long day, the laughter echoing in the corridors of memory, the warmth of a beloved presence, even when miles apart. It is not confined to four walls and a roof, nor is it defined by the grandeur of its architecture. But home is also change. It is the bittersweet moment of packing up childhood belongings, leaving behind walls that once echoed with our growing pains. It is the ache of longing when we search for traces of what was, only to find that time has repainted the doors and rearranged the furnit...
