The Third Face

[benshareef-blog]

Regrets in life are simply unfinished chapters and loose ends. The ones we feared to write the last closing words to and the strings we couldn’t bare seeing cut off.

I wish I could leave you my love,

but my heart is a mess.

My days, they begin with your name

and night ends with your breath.

I wish I could split myself into several pieces and hand them over to all the hands that pull my strings and the ones that want to hold strings with me. We only live ones, but which of my personalities get to live?

[benshareef-blog]

I will always be a part of and you will always be a part of mine. We are just two people who lost out on life.

I am the ruins of my own wars

Dust off and keep going

You fall only to stand up again!! The key is to know why you fell and not let that happen again. If you think you never wanna fall then remember, only a person who knows what darkness feels like would appreciate light!

The loyalty Conundrum

The reason why sometimes you can’t tell a person close to you about what you’re doing is because that person is too close to you. A loyal friend is only loyal to you, and not your circumstances or surroundings. You find it difficult to tell them your decisions as you aren’t doing it for yourself but for someone else's happiness.

Autumn has certainly been leisurely in its arrival this year (at least where I am in central TX), but with this week bringing some slightly cooler temperatures, it’s starting to feel like like Fall is finally here. As usual, to go along with the colorful foliage, warm fashions and seasonal beverages, I have a new Autumn mixtape to help evoke the wistful, carefree feelings of the season.

The Clone Dilemma

Life throws both confetti and shoes on your face at times. Sometimes even both at the same time. Each of which makes you a tad bit different of a person than before. We hide our true versions and often, they get lost or perish into the endless whirlpool of time. Do we preserve that true version of us in some physical or digital way? Is that why our generation can’t stop using Social media? Is that why I always look for a platform where some sort of anonymity or at least solitary can be found? When or do we at all ever get to unleash our true selves? A million answers from a billion sources and yet I can’t find my one answer, not Who Am I, but Who Should I?

Lost Words

Words from the deepest of our hearts, extracted from deepest trenches of our inner self, summoned by the courage you accumulate from all corners of your mind, are more often than not the ones that are left unheard by the world.
