Stay Or Give Up

Welcome to sycatsy's blog! Now is a new year and looking back at 2017, my life has been filled with bittersweet memories. Like a roller coaster ride, I face ups and downs of what life can offer, a mixture of extreme happiness to gloomy days and honestly, its all worth it. It is yet another memorable year for me. You, who have gone through tough times throughout 2017, I am proud of how far you have come and may a new year changes you to be a better person than before. 

Love, in different forms, is a powerful feeling which in any case, one must bear the consequences and responsibility that comes with it. It is what keeps us awake all day long, through the darkest days and silent nights. We crave for love, acceptance and the longing affection from another, that sometimes may resort to desperation, doing whatever it takes to obtain the love we desire. Desperation is deemed as normal in this modern day with people willing to end everything even their lives when they experience unrequited love. A twist in Shakespeare's poetic line of "till death do us part" where in this case, death comes earlier than expected. 

"What if I love someone but I know that I am never going to get the person? " A question posed by a friend of mine which sparks interest. Love is defined as a strong feeling of affection, fondness towards someone. Despite how good it sounds, it can be dangerous when the lines of intimacy are blurred, or when a friendship is mistaken as something more and there is no going back. Short, subtle moments like his/her skin brushing against yours or the brief eye contact between each other are enough to quicken one's heartbeat and shiver with nervousness. Love is felt emotionally, not only in physical terms, which makes it tougher to get over or run away from. Feelings cannot just die within a day without any reason. It is not as easy as that, it has never been as easy as that. The concept of 'persevere' in relation with love is well known in movies and books. Not giving up in love and chasing after a person like your life depended on it and continue till there is nothing left in you.

However, there is always a finish line to a race and once you reach the finish line, you have to accept it no matter the outcome. If the result does not go the way you want it to be, toughen yourself up and be better. Just like the chasing game in love, if the other does not feel the same way as you, stop the chasing. There is a limit, you will get tired and cry over and over again till your eyes are sore. The cycle of sadness and feeling unworthy repeats. You deserve better than this, everyone deserve happiness. It is okay to feel heartbroken at the start, but know that your tears are not worth for someone who does not even try to know you sincerely. Accept that it is not meant to be and there is someone for you, the right one. So, with every teardrop, every pain in the heart, get better, surround yourself with people who makes you feel positive and honestly, live life well. You will cure from the pain, do not lose hope and life will surprise you in every way possible. With every hardship comes ease. 

Reminder: stay happy, be happy, live happily, die happily.

Pain: Would souls rather have physical or emotional pain?

  He glanced at his watch, the hands ticking by the minute, slowly irking him. The thin scratches on the watch glass screen, the small peelings on the brown leather watch handle never really bothered him, despite his friends aggravating urge to replace a new Patek Phillipe watch for him. He never knew why he was emotionally attached to the old dusty looking watch. The change of jazz music in the small bustling cafe awoken him from his distracted thoughts. Seated facing the window in the right inner corner of the cafe, he adjusted himself comfortably into the black plush cushioned seat while looking at the busy road ahead of him. He have always loved this corner of the cafe, not only due to the isolation from everyone, but also, the silence gave him ample time to focus on his untreated emotions and thoughts deep inside his mind. The laptop screen in front of him was left unattended while he waited for what is to come ahead. He could hear the deafening ticking sounds of his watch, th...

Hot Soup

You can’t expect somebody to understand your love for hot soups, when toasted loaves are all that they know. Layers of flavours hugged the curves of your spoon, filling up your devoted heart. Glossy eyes stare back at you while you devoured. Breaking the ends of your mind thinking of how to explain, your love for soup - or your love for them. You tugged the ends of your wool sweater sleeves, patiently waiting for. Something, anything.  You’re getting tired. It’s just food, what’s there to dispute, but it’s not just about food. It’s about waiting for them to understand you, keeping yourself naively optimistic about their emotions and you truly do feel like you’re hanging on a fine thread of blind hope.  When desperation creeps in slowly behind you, normal days changed into morning toast meals so you could talk to them more, hold their hand a little longer. Then heavy night comes, you talk to yourself over things you couldn’t talk to them.  You can’t expect somebody to unde...

A letter for the souls in pain

  Isn't it strange how love works?  Walking from empty spaces to tall skyscrapers,  Tall skyscrapers to secret alleyways, Secret alleyways to empty spaces again.  We feel intensely, we act on our feelings leading to decisions that could make or break us. Honestly, who told us love was easy? Our hearts could never ever be fully ready to overcome the highs and lows of unknown roads and yet, here we are, ready to risk our hearts for people who were once strangers. The vulnerability people hold closely to themselves, kept hidden in tightly enclosed rooms, locked in the strings of their blood vessels, and yet, it get all loose, untied and full of holes when a person comes along. The intensity of an emotion no one could simply comprehend with words but somehow, simple phrases can easily tore hearts apart. There is no middle ground with love, no staying within the lines because in the end, we break our rules for souls. We tell ourselves, next time we will get stronger, brav...
