I sip my coffee as I type this, coffee time is the best part of my day. A whirlpool of thoughts swirl around and the subconsciously suppressed emotions show up.
If you ask how my coffee looks, it would obviously be less dark than my sad poems. I miss writing sad poems, not that I have been happier in recent days but I have begun to manifest in the acts of being happy and happiness itself. I couldn’t make time to romanticize pain, grief and sadness.
And today my coffee is more bitter than usual. All I do is just add a little bit of sugar and compensate for the bitterness. So, the stimulated brain plays its role. The contemplation begins here, at this moment. If sugar could compensate for bitterness; the bitterness in our lives has a natural cure, here in coffee, one of its own components was the remedy to others similarly our life that is a complex blend of negative, positive and neutral aspects compliments one another. On the days when we are down, on the days when you feel that life is too harsh, life is too hard, life is uneven with ups and downs, a reminiscence of good old days, a recollection of beautiful memories we built with people can trigger emotions but they still elicit a kind of warmth and relief that words can’t express.
The door to positivity, happiness lies within us and is hidden in the shadows of vague thoughts. There is a lot of drama in the air but we still need to live, at least try to live with the memories we are all left with at the end of the day. Like, sugar to coffee powder and coffee powder to sugar; mix and match life with both positives and negatives. You see, things around carry meaning, they hold on various lessons but comes to our vision when pondered in deep viewpoints.
Here’s another rant or some thought on life. It’s unedited and of course, unplanned. I don’t know if this is clear enough but all I mean to say is to carry the souvenirs like a sash.
Thank you so much for reading! ❤️

I feel something deep in this: “All I do is just add a little bit of sugar and compensate for the bitterness.” That’ all we can do for life. Add some sweetness to the sour moments. It’s nice reading your “unplanned and unedited” thoughts. Cool post!

with the spoon in hand,
does this honey share its gifts
beautifully captured sentiments Hema…. btw I am on page 349 in Part III of the book titled ‘Wishful Images in the Mirror’….
