Apoplectic
"If tomorrow starts without me Know that I’ll always be with you Watching over you like a silent guardian Protecting you from any harm" SHUT UP! JUST STOP IT! Enough of your sugar-coated lies! You brought me into this cruel world without my consent And when your time comes, you’ll just die! How the hell is that fair?! Why must I carry the weight of your absence?! I never even asked to be here! Each day is a battle I never signed up for! And now you dare add insult to injury by dying on me You think I'll be fine?! NO! Yet, God forbid I die before you, For if I did, you’d feel the same unbearable pain That you think I should carry!

Path of the mind
Along the beaten path we walk, uneven stides as we take our time to think about what could have been. The sound of nature echoes as we feel more relaxed with every step. But more unsure of the choices made, overthinking and trying piece together the scenario of what the other choice brings. The say hindsight is a powerful thing but how can we know that the actions and reactions would have been the same?

The Heartbreak of Indifference
It’s taken years for people to develop ice hearts and are thus unlikely to thaw in a single day. It takes so many years to frost people’s hearts and hence cannot melt within a single day.

Philosophical Musings: A Journey Of the Mind, A Vessel Of Paradoxes
If Buddha said “The mind is everything, what you think you become.”, and René Descartes said “I think, therefore I am”, but Socrates said “The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” then is my mind but an empty vessel.

Well Done
“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way, if you don’t, you’ll find an excuse” We have often heard the words:
