Little Sparrow – Leyla McCalla
open mindedness is the new sexy.
taking responsibility and handling it well approves of one’s truest strength.
being faithful, being authentic and living-by-words needs the real courage.

Comments closedI have never seen her in my life.
I don’t even know her first name.
But from what mom told me about her, and her family, and their life struggles then and thus far;
I understood one thing.
Words couldn’t suffice to put that girl’s plights,
her fructifying rebellion, doubts, confusions,
her rage, disgusts, frustrations,
that mocking loneliness,
her unspoken scars, blooming sadness, deaf desperation,
breathing yet diffcult-to-breathe days and nights of hopelessness,
howling pain, baggage of regrets — of being born the way she was born, the way she was raised, the way she was living,
weaknesses, helplessness,
the blackish feelings of being crippled by fate,
the feel of being damaged, cheated,
companionlessness.
She took her own life that Monday morning.
I only wish i was her friend.
I only wish i could save her from herself.
We are not our feelings. We are not our moods. We are not even our thoughts. ~ Stephen R. Covey
- this is to her - you are brave my friend, the star for the stars.Comments closed
there was a point in my life when i wanted
someone who’d say and truly mean when they say it,
“i am always here for you, forever.”
Comments closedshe is the happiest tonight, all too shining, scintillating
blooming, jumping, living.
ball of fire, she is the closest star to me.
my guiding light.
Comments closedone day, with god’s grace, my breathe will lose her home.
one day, most certainly i’ll fade; returned back to the dust, to the blank where i belong,… to emptiness.
one day, my voice will dilute, dissolve in space, with the pace of time and tides.
and that ordinary day should i die, i wish my mixtapes be my epitaph,
the closest organic proof of my unpretentious, trivial existence.

In the words of Friedrich Nietzsche:
Music unites all qualities: it can exalt us, divert us, cheer us up, or break the hardest of hearts with the softest of its melancholy tones. But its principal task is to lead our thoughts to higher things, to elevate, even to make us tremble…
repulsion,
the discomfort in your gut,
suffocation,
an ecliptic hostility,
a screaming impatience,
choking insecurity,
an itching, annoying fragrance of fear for the unknown, and for the unfamiliar — is not your fault.
Intrinsically threatened by the inevitable permutations of good or worsts, confused by virtue of finding yourself trapped in these many unpredictable, anew crossroads; these many possibilities of the matter-at-hand in conjunction with ‘time’, we are ever prone to culminate, cultivate false beliefs, lies, untruths. Ever.
Many-a-times our natural reactions towards anything different, people or circumstances, ought to be naturally questionable. It has to be unsubstantiated and uncooked.
Therefore. Think.

unsolicited.
you know what is real — your vulnerabilities, your mistakes, heartbreaks.
you know what is courage– being real, being authentic, that hard-ass attitude of never giving up.
you know what is happiness — chasing dreams, right songs, having true friends and utter mindfullness.
you know what is love — the give and take, the respect.
you know what is knowledge– the absolute acceptance that you know nothing.
you know what is freedom — the taste of absolution, the acceptance of imperfection, being yourself, loving yourself.
you known what is wealth — the peace, humbleness, mighty simplicity.
you know what is boring — mislead philosophies, a superiority, the know-it-alls.
you know what is funny — the heart tickling humors and sure-as-ass fools.
you know what is dangerous — thoughts.

words.
from the first day i tried to live one day at a time,
one wrecked craft, one song each day,
it became more and more clear to me, what really mattered and what didn’t.
it so dawned on me how easily misled, misfed, misinformed, mistuned and misread we can be about life, lives and living.
finally, boldly, i drifted…
tears to pains.
actions to powerful-powerless thoughts.
real people to just people.
letting go to holding onto.
happiness to prejudice.
empathy to sympathy.
and love above everything else.
.. yes, maybe words changed me.
