And when you wander a lot in this world...
Go through every pain in this life...
Then you realize...
It is not about finding something...
But...
It is about... The moment...
Moment... Where your every search end...
Where your every question is answered...
You don't have to wander anymore...
Go through all this...
Because you see the end now...
And while looking at it...
You think to yourself...
How beautiful it is...
That it was all worth it...
Worth it of all this journey...
All this suffering...
And all this searching...
And you can let go of everything easily...
At this point...
End is not the end anymore...
But may be a new beginning...
To all the wandering souls, wondering if this journey ever ends— get ready for the new beginnings. Because the end awaits a new journey, a new path to wander on.

Fruit uneaten to the seed,
A glance at the heavens
Halting inescapable rot,
Here it lays brown and withered.

A chronic flicker of a lamp
In the corner of the room
A temperament that festers
Frustrated at the change of endeavours,

Waning moons missing pieces,
Resentful, longing for the sun
Indescribable hunger for a glimmer
over torrential nights,

Yearning like a fire
Begs to be fed
Reaching out to darkness
The bed, now half slept.

Restlessness crawls within bones
A tormenting
Unrelenting
Wind in the cold,

A soft low hum within the safety of four
Walls,
An unrecognisable sound
Without an ear, joyful to be here at all.

Fruit will soon bitter with frosty mornings,
Unnurtured,
I plant myself in grounds
Sullen with the season.
I broke up with my partner of 6 years for reasons that are lost on me now, and the last 2 months have been spent feeling incredibly lonely and when the noise quietens I find myself to plant my two feet on the ground in the way I would have hoped to by now.

I’ve won once—
I can win again.

—on breaking cycles and starting over

I need to rewrite this story—
but to do that,
I have to leave it in the past.

I tell people I’m divorcing
as if the process
were still happening,
but it’s already done.

I am divorced.

And it’s a leap into the dark,
yet there’s still
a thin nylon thread
tied to me,
wanting to believe
I’ll return to our little house,
our nest,
our love.

I’m going to live
in a small apartment,
letting go of everything
we built together.

And it hurts—
it’s not easy.
It stings like running a marathon
and, just as I thought
I was near the finish line,
realizing I’d taken the wrong exit
and now have to go
all the way back.

I’m too tired
to start over with someone else.

But I shouldn’t think about that now.
I should start over
for me.

I want to rewrite my love story
I want to live a love, yes
intense,
romantic,
but healthy.
A love where we grow together
without me losing
myself.

I don’t think I only resigned from my job
I think I also resigned
from the role of an extra
in my own life
My life, once so dull,
Now feels immensely full.
My worries are all gone,
We have so much fun at dawn.

My life, once so boring,
Is now soaring.
When I see her, my heart skips a beat,
I feel my body feel with heat.

She fills my life with joy,
And she never treats me like a toy.
I thought I'd never find love,
But she flew into my life like a dove.

She fills my life with peace.
My stress has found its release.
My life has been forever changed by a love so true,
All thanks to you.
