I am definitely more Sunset than Sunrise. 

There's something about the darkness that comes along with the Sun setting. 
The excitement of the Moon rising and being able to stare into the stars. 
There is something so beautiful about the night, that cannot be replaced by the day. 
The thought of people reuniting, the realization that you're just hours away from dream world. 
A world that I love to bits, yet struggle to reach to every night. This warped, over exhausted mind. I find it easier to look at the Sun as it leaves, unintimidated, sad yet calm and somewhat promising - than I do to look at it when it arrives all fierce and over confident.

Maybe some of us relate to darkness more.
Maybe that's where we build our homes, we don’t have to pretend anymore. 
Maybe the warmth of the orange skies are too romantic for me to ever fantasies about the rise. 

Though I hate goodbyes, I guess this one's the one I say everyday, assured that it'll be back again tomorrow, just to let me sit down as I watch it leave all over again. 

There is something agonizingly romantic about the Sun leaving me day after day, 
that turned the miseries of goodbyes into sweet pain.

I’m a hedonist, through and through.  My greatest pleasure comes from surrendering to my instincts. Human beings can be cruel, flawed, broken, messy. All seven sins wrapped in skin. I find a delicious freedom in that.  It’s always better to own your faults, so that they don’t own you.  Oscar Wilde said, “I can resist everything but temptation.” That rings so true to my ears.  When we deny what we truly are and try desperately to be non-human, we create the ultimate temptation. We lose ourselves in it. We allow it to control us. We pray for forgiveness, so afraid of our true nature. So much precious energy wasted on pushing away. I’m an enabler. As I said, nothing compares to the feeling of seeing someone finally let go. It’s magnificent. The only real power that exists is knowing who you are.

This morning some minor frustrations compounded,  sending the day off into a tailspin. The next thing I knew I was sitting in a taxi and wiping tears away from behind my glasses. ‘What is the matter with you?’ I asked myself earnestly, knowing fully well that work wasn’t what had me so upset. And there it was, a flood of an answer that had been pooling at the gates, just waiting for the opportunity to pour out. It’s grief. And disappointment. And accepting that every experience and opportunity that I expected for both, my personal and professional life during my 30th year has been thwarted.  When I’ve felt these feelings before I’ve pushed them down, because I truly have so much to be thankful for.  So many are hurting in ways that I’m not. It feels guilty to admit that some days I’m just not okay. But after I let myself accept that grief and mourning, I was able to see so many of you out there feeling it too. Folks doing their best to make the best of how things ...

Ladies, rebellious  bright beautiful ladies, don’t forget to read more books. A knowledgeable woman is a powerful woman. Our mothers and sisters, so many before us fought and died for our right to read, so read. Be cultured and smart. The mind of a woman is an incredible tool to build, a weapon to fight, and a shield to defend.  Take good care of it, keep it sharp and polished. There are fewer tragedies on Earth than such precious treasures being left to rust.  On the subject of FEELING BETTER RIGHT NOW, I’ve been particularly obsessed with this beauty for the past week. Helping me understand my current thoughts, my intuition, soul vs personality, the energy of the Universe, my imperfections and that bitch that lives in my head, delays me from all of my important work and constantly reminds me what a talented being I am. P.S: I have this strong woman, Namitha Naiyar; to thank deeply for this keeper.
