I pass by the meadows, the orchards, the farms and enjoy these petite, blissful moments looking up at the blue skies, and soaking up in the sun. I start to think of the most special people I have met over a past few days, people who spoke to me about their lives, strangers, acquaintances, now friends. I come to think of what they had to offer me at this moment of my life.

I try to refrain from the thoughts of writing this book, and try to focus on a state of reality that I see.

I do my best to sneak into the emotions that run along the channels of one’s heart, I try to comprehend the vibes, the  thoughts that run through one’s mind, it makes me all the more curious to see the complexity of the situation, people dwell in.

The burrows that tunnel underground, the caverns that run into unexplored crevices, the creeks that flow like veins into the river, the mind that tires itself trying to understand the realms of its own identity, this is how I feel when I try to comprehend when I listen to the lives and the behavior patterns of people I meet and speak with.

I recall that smile is something which has faded away, lost its glory, and lies within the darkness of emotions. There are people who have been through the harshest and the hardest lives yet showcase a blessed smile. I wonder what pain is, how emotions are endured to satiate peace within oneself.

I communicated with a few individuals that seemed happy,  yet there was so much pain sealed within the abyss of their emotions, pain that they could not comprehend, as to how it would affect them, some who spoke of the eternal slumber, like, as if it was the blessed curse that could quench their thirst for death. It was strange to see the complexity of their emotions. Happy with grief, unhappy with life, yet they knew how to live through the controlled moments of life.

It is a brave phenomenon, and I have total respect for them. The worst that can happen to anyone is death or anyone who has to endure its grief, the pain breaks one’s soul, it cracks the stability of happiness, and in my opinion this moment leads one to seek for the pursuit of happiness, which is quite a rarity in some cases.

One can be happy, or choose to be happy, but we will never know, or understand that moments of darkness, the grave trauma one has endured, to each is his own, but none the less, it is grief.

The biggest challenge is to overcome that grief, to fight against that feeling of despair, there are people who have endured the worst and have overcome it to enjoy and endure the happiness of life with what they have. The best example is my father, since he was a child, growing up, his middle aged life, and the trauma his son put him through, I myself could never have taken it so well, my beloved father brushes it off, yes, it affects him at times but, he has the strength to fight it off.

My very good friend Su, she went through a series of painful and profound agony that left her emotions in complete disarray, she smiles, she fights it every day, and even though she succumbs to its after-effects, she emerges brave.

We have a lot to learn from these people, a lot of stories from lives that were down in the dumps, but emerged as strong and brave. Let us all look upon them as examples that can change lives, I have learnt a lot, from them. They do not know and I don’t voice it out. This snippet has a few stories of lives that would feature in my book. Inspiration I’ll say :) all the way
