It was all I needed...

I have walked this road before, but something was different this time. I was in no hurry, taking my time, enjoying every step, breathing deep, looking at the sky for my friends. Usually, there was this rush which never allowed me to breathe, like going for a mission ignoring all the details of the journey, only thinking about the final destination, but now everything has changed. I’m no longer thinking about what’s in store for me, not even what happens in the next hour, just feeling the earth beneath my feet, and the cool breeze washing my body. I used to rush things, but now I’m learning to enjoy waiting even in adverse circumstances. It took a lot of time to get myself to this stage, from running to walking, to learn patience. Looking back to my life, I don’t think I have breathed properly, maybe it was all I needed, deep breaths, not anything else. It could be the only reason why I struggled all my life. I wish I had found this truth when I was a kid, and it took me twenty nine years to find out. If I could get a chance to travel back to that time, I would have told myself to do this one thing, breathe!

Truth

 Having truth on your side gives you some kind of power that goes even far beyond Death. Strength to face anything, forgive mistakes even if we do something insane. I haven't done anything that I can't say openly about, the one thing I kept it as a secret was this, we had so many kittens in our home, they were all feeding on syringes, of course, without needles. It was like four or five of them, but when I returned it to the place they rest, one of them was not responding well, it's health deteriorated and it fell and all these time I had this thought that if I placed it little more carefully, maybe it wouldn't have fallen. The next day, there was this Rose bloomed in front of our house, it felt like I had to do something, so I took it and placed above its grave, I think my mother saw that, and she had a good laugh about that.

Travel

 What will I do if someday I have to move out of this house? I will travel to places no one reached. Why? Maybe I will find my broken pieces to fix myself like nothing ever happened in my life. Then where will I go, I will go to heights to be with clouds, and see a world outside of human perspective and someday I will come back to enjoy the rising sun and wish never an afternoon from now on. Instead we skip to the setting sun and finally welcome the  Moon to see the stars.

Sleep

 What will I do if this is my last day of Life? Like every other day, I will breathe. We invite the monster to have a final say, and they try their best to close my eyes, and we fight just to keep our eye from getting closed. Muscles develop in our eyelids by doing so regularly. Sometimes I think how peaceful is to submit to the tendency to sleep, a deep and conscious sleep, but something keeps telling me it's not the kind of sleep anyone wish for, still I like when I was a kid, how I wake up looking at the clock, five more minutes, that comfort in sleeping that way, how five minutes feels like five seconds.
