I wore my heart on my sleeve
Afraid of ruining everything
Just to learn what I was scared of...
You have a girlfriend
Maybe I should just crawl under a rock
So I don't have to face the embarrassment
Of knowing I like another person
Who will never like me back
I hate that it's unrequited
But at least we are still friends

Thiruchenthur surasamhaaram
Thiruchendur Sura Samharam, also known as the Skanda Sashti jubilee, is a significant religious event celebrated generally in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. This jubilee commemorates the palm of Lord Muruga, also known as Kartikeya or Skanda, over the demon Surapadman. The tale is deeply embedded in Hindu tradition and holds great religious and artistic significance for addicts of Lord Muruga. The legend of Thiruchendur Sura Samharam originates from the Skanda Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas in Hinduism. According to the myth, Surapadman, a important demon, attained a boon from Lord Brahma that made him insurmountable against all beings except the sons of Lord Shiva. Surapadman, fueled by his newfound strength, began wreaking annihilation in the welkin and on earth, hanging the veritably fabric of actuality. In response to the growing chaos, the elysian divinities sought the intervention of Lord Shiva and his consort, Goddess Parvati. Together, they conceived Lord Muruga, the godly legionnaire, with the sole purpose of defeating Surapadman and restoring balance to the macrocosm. Muruga, endowed with extraordinary powers and fortified with godly munitions, embarked on a fierce battle against the demon forces led by Surapadman. The conflict between Lord Muruga and Surapadman is emblematic of the eternal struggle between good and evil, with the former representing righteousness and the ultimate embodying nastiness. The battle is described in pictorial detail in ancient textbooks, depicting the valor and prowess of Muruga as he confronts and overcomes the redoubtable demon army. One of the most dramatic moments of the battle occurs during the Thiruchendur Sura Samharam, where Lord Muruga engages in a final showdown with Surapadman.

The Hour Long Minute
I’m finally off of work from my overnight shift and now comes the hard part. I do Ride-share driving for about two or three hours after I get off of work each morning, not only to make ends meet, but to put away a little extra money for my rapidly approaching wedding.
