Bubbles of life

0 comments

It promises to be an exciting ride in the coming six months. change is in the air and i can feel it.
I am just a tad bit cautious, and maybe a little apprehensive in making the journey towards that crossroad. Still im trying to stay calm and not let a little excitement get the better of me. The future is still unknown and that is part of the beauty isn't it?. Anyway I have been flying for one and a half years now and so far i've seen the good and ive seen the real bads. It washes off the rose tint in my eye-glasses a little. But it makes me a little more street smart. I truly believe that im a lot better at EQ and much smarter at people relations than before. Life isnt a bed of roses i've learnt that hard fact. I knew it before but i know it much better now.
Working in an international environment means u have to look after your own person and you have to stand up for yourself. Speak up when someone crosses the line and gain respect with some bravery and professionalism.

Treking about by yourself in unknown places means you only trust when you absolutely have to. The only person that you should otherwise trust is no other than you yourself. And ive learnt that fact real hard. Its ingrained. true u might think im a little jaded. Becoming cynical even.
But hey when a stranger wants to share a cup of tea with you in a foreign place when you are alone will you really say yes? When a shop owner wants to give you a discount because he says he thinks you are very special and very nice will you actually actually think he has no other motive? yes I am nice and i am special but i dont need a shop owner to tell me that or to sell me wares for cheaper prices to prove that he thinks so. And i wouldnt be over the moon and proud and allow him to manipulate me because he thinks that of me. Scams, dishonesty, equivocal tricks are motivated behaviours from wealth disparities. Cause and effects from the inequalities of this world. ya u think where is that girl bursting with gullible goodness that you've known before?

But having said that i've somehow still managed to keep my heart intact. I think i still can still get by with that overwhelming love for all of the world's creations. I still love to have my senses stimulated , to see beauty, to smell love, to touch happiness, hear peace and to taste delight.
We know that burning flame of unadulterated innocence, we all have been kids before. That simplicity of delight. Where you threw caution to the wind so easily. And become passionate about the plainest things. In child's play we spend hours watching bubbles for instance, whats so delightful about bubbles? Bubbles are delightful! If you still retained that view, that ability to just enjoy bubbles you possess the that humanism, that instinct to fill your heart with wonder at every beauty the world has to offer. Thank god i have that wonderment in me still and im keeping it very much alive.

I am imperfect. Im only human. Human in my imperfection. Here i am talking about love of all things inanimate and animate. Why is it so hard for me to accept love and love back? Why am i such a snob when it comes to my own special people, people who were there at the beginning of this life? Love with no channels to direct , love so amassed its pathetic. I dont have the freedom to be selective when it comes to who i need to give the love to. There is no choice in the matter.
But why do i find it so hard? Why am i so cruel?

I am just a passing tourist in this life. flying by so fast, barely skimming the surface.
But I have Lived and I refuse to feel sorry for it.
