Faint memories, often repressed ones
Appear bluer than usual
On some blue days.

Nomo,
Sometimes we do not have the courage to speak or reprimand ourselves at the thought of doing something outrageous. In those times, we think to ourselves about the way society has nurtured us to become such dependent beings. During such strains, we begin to blame the society, sometimes a lot more than required.. We forget how much positive energy could be harboured and channeled in various ways. More often than not, these manifest to become heavy emotional blots, often transgressing boundaries and safe spaces in our memory lanes. By the time these memories re-emerge, we have already made the mistake of feeling comfortable in our emotionally-blotted personalities. When we realise the implications of our deluded comfort, it becomes too late to change this mirage to its original self. The delusion becomes real then. It’s a cycle. Everything revolves in a cycle including the concept of time. The psychological traumas, memories, the process of socialising, energy levels in our environment- everything is troubled and secured, just like that. Freedom and independence from these troubles is perhaps our goal without us realising the possibility of it. When will we begin to live without any worries of such kind? I t’s difficult to procure this state of mind, maybe because suffering is a part of surviving this so-called life. The only way to minimise this suffering is by balancing ourselves in the context of everything. The trick, perhaps, is to be aware of our behaviour at every step and putting ourselves back in position when we feel like deviating to the extreme.
-constantly revisiting the past and present until they appear one.
At times, there will be a yellow meandering in the blue sky
Looking for space and perhaps some effort to expand, Give it a chance, perhaps, it will outgrow the blue tides someday.
