30 DAYS OF DEEP AND RANDOM QUESTIONS (a series)

 DAY 16:

"What's the most hurtful thing someone has ever said to you?"

I grew up in a family, wherein insult was never a dish served in the tab. It excisted but kept at the back pocket, and saved for special occasions. And I have been insulted by people quiet to many, but those words just passed through the other ear and never left any mark. I have even forgotten most of those insults and the person who blurted it out, may it be out of anger or frustration.

But the most hurtful thing that was thrown at my face made me relieve all the pain I felt back then, to be told insignificant and that all my hard work is at face value. That maybe I was never smart, and that is the reason I failed to become what I wanted to be as an engineer. I was too dumb to become an engineer. And that insult was wrapped in ball of bad language and painful lashes of the tongue.

Worth the Risk I just want you to know- In the quiet spaces of my heart, A wish begins to grow: To pursue you, to make a start. I want to take this leap, To risk it all for you, For in your presence, deep Within, I know it’s true- You are worth the risk, A treasure beyond compare. Win or lose, I won’t regret The love I choose to share. What matters most to me Is not the end, but this- That you feel, undeniably, How precious you truly is. So let me show you every day How lovable you are, How much you mean in every way- My guiding, shining star.

Not when my grief still speaks your language. People say "move on" as if love is furniture. As if I can pack it in boxes and send it away without it haunting every inch of who I am.

"May-be a Red String" by Bugs Bunny Falling was never the  intention , yes, there was  attraction , but never an admission , then a reverberation , ignited by a constant simulation , in this rocky cognition , brought about by a noisy sensation , that left a scary intuition . a question, what if this is just an imagination that has no possibility for fruition but mere humanity pushes for a direction that asks for an action regardless of expectation , all wanting a possibility of a connection because all this suppression is beginning to become a full blown im plosion of what was just a little suppression held by a weak gravitation . Then came the confession, unsure of the this declaration, a liking that was a hidden expression, of a quietly kept emotion, but telling you is a decision, made by a deep appreciation, for your subtle mystification, that this mortal find a difficulty in comprehension, allured, encapsulated, by this crimson elation, you may call it a contusion, but su...
