What a broken heart means.

Relationships are bound to happen, they evolve over time and a sure bet, in a great way changes us. Human beings are social creatures; leave alone the hellos and howdy’, but we have been molded with feelings and will. We meet people, become friends with others, fiends with some and a few lucky lot get the chance to be ‘special’.

This specialty has been misused to a great extent, willingly at that. It takes a lot of strength to commit; trust is earned, respect goes down the same lane. But like many deals, risks are involved, it is a trade. Love for respect, commitment for love and respect for love; a two way traffic to be close, a cycle to be precise. One cannot survive without the other. Primitive, huh?

Regardless of all risks involved, we still find ourselves in the middle of these ‘far-knit-unions’. Hurting day in day out, and always heart-broken. Don’t we learn? It’s fairly true to say choices are there for us to make, regardless of every situation but we still fall prey of “coeur brisé “

It means losing what we have so often held onto, letting go of the comfort zones of our emotions and breaking down that imaginary pillar that has always held our weight. It means accepting to make a choice of defeat though courageously. 


What a broken heart means is, L
“
Have you ever been in love?  Horrible isn't it?  
It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.  
You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life.... 
You give them a piece of you.  

They didn't ask for it.  They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.  
Love takes hostages.  
It gets inside you.  
It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.  
It hurts.  
Not just in the imagination. 
Not just in the mind. 
It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.  I hate love.

The Psychology Of Color.

I came across this collection of colors and its psychological meaning and found great references that I can relate with.  " Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. - Oscar Wilde .

The prime of life ;Grasp it.

By
I created this "concept" video three years ago, the words are not my own, credit goes to the pearly and lustrous voice, of a great mentor, and a motivator, Mr. Johnson Mwakazi. I hadn't sat to really take in the words; today I did. Well, that was quite a befitting piece, for the times. Of course, motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis. We look up to our mentors for various reasons, one being to always strive to achieve like they have. To the words, “The prime of life may be great, there is up and there is also down, one may reach the summit, but where else can one move on, except for descending again.” 01:12 Listen on. Gerry

If we wake up.

If today, that little veil covering the small steps of our lives is lifted, will we have enough of face to show the scars of time or stand tall and proudly display the plaques of amazing feats that we've achieved? Will we be able with unwavering demeanor, show the world the number of skeletons in our closets and those silent achievements earned over time? Or will we cower in abject shame as all is laid bare for everyone to see? Today, under the fluorescent dimness of the yellow reading lamp, he slights his palates with the sweetness of condiments sourced from random walks around malls, albeit the cold; a mix of frozen vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry sweetens this 1 am circus. The halls are silent, except for some occasional slow and sometimes fast patter of a random night owl, going for a tinkle.  The new year is a bit laggy, maybe because of a long-awaited break from the normal constantness of haunting lecture halls, and the dreary atmosphere surrounding midterms. It's a re
