Suga’s healing lab ~ day 3
Why do my words have no meaning
Why am I so misunderstood
Why am I so lonely
Don’t I deserve to be loved
Don’t I deserve to be thought of
Don’t I deserve a friend
I try but I’m always failing
What does this mean
Please somebody please save me

Suga’s healing lab ~ day 7
Why should I smile
When society dictates how I should look
Why should I smile
When society dictates how I should talk
Why should I smile
When society dictates how I should live
Enough!
I smile because I love the way I was created
I smile because I speak the language of love
I smile because I live in love

One sided love
The words build and rise like a skyscraper;
The taller it gets the more emptier you feel.
You want to believe that it’s something beautiful;
You want to believe it’s a love that heals.
But instead its built on a weak foundation;
And the words weren’t what you thought it was.
You built this skyscraper of love, hope and dreams;
But little did you know the beauty was you, and that’s why it didn’t last.
Never be the ONLY one bringing beauty and love to a relationship, love is beautiful, it’s fair, it makes you feel amazing. If you start doubting who you are, then it’s not love, its compromise, settling. Don’t settle, you are worth it, and you always will be.

Thoughts
I woke up to a pitter-patter of the heavy rain on my camp tent
A shiver bolted down my spine as I felt the glacial air thwack my skin
Flashes of heliotrope thunder strikes in the other-worldly grey ether
I enclosed myself in a snug fleece
duvet
I closed my eyes to the tranquil sounds of nothingness.

Poems from BTS Army
It’s simple
You cannot give another
That which you do not have
and so
You must simply
Love yourself
//
I rose before the sun did
a bruise-like pain
In my back
impressions
rods of glowing embers
between my shoulders down
to the tapering curve of my spine
maybe in a better world
I was flying

Echos in the moment
A funny thing it is to be seen,
You go about your whole life wondering what it may feel like…
So much so that when it actually happens, it feels like you’re walking on eggshells.
Ive thought of a few reasons I may have felt this way, and maybe you have too –
Way too much of time is spent elsewhere, other than the present moment, constantly creating and thinking of what if scenarios, either based on the past or present.
What Now? It really flings u back to the now, and you be like what now? And there’s so much S P A C E and time, no wonder we’re constantly filling it with anything random that comes our way (you know what I’m talking about).
We go on thinking life is like a game of Tetris.. or Snake (who’s really good at those games anyway? {if you are, you’re amazing, if not, you’re amazing})
But it’s more like, in millennial terms, a new phone – lots of potential, only if we don’t fill it with crap from our past phones and media from tons of people, other than ourselves.
Gets u thinking yeah 😂💭
Ah, there’s always something about blank canvases: scares some, excites some, numbs some –
Just gotta get outta our heads a little, forget who we are or what we are, and be…
What now?
What now!
What now…
* This piece was essentially inspired by receiving love from my dear friends (by wondering how to respond to it), and by Dr. Shefali (whose ‘What now?’ theory moved from knowing to understanding)
