The World | Poetry


She did not love the world,
But she embraced everything it threw her way
She did not love the world,
But she loved its
Lights
Colors
Creation
All sounds were symphonies of a long-lost galaxy,
All her senses overloaded with constellations of the mind
But she did not love the world.

She did not love the world,
But treasured each today more than each yesterday
Experiencing every emotion in the spectrum,
Expressing and embracing all to the fullest
Tears were a waterfall of rich agony
A smile an indescribable beauty.

And it seemed as though the world loved her;
A spark in her mind that never grew dim,
A light in her eyes that continually grew brighter
But the world did not love her,
And she did not love the world.

The world:
A bitter, two-faced force
A backstabbing friend at best
Maybe not a friend at all;
But she did not need the world.

She did not love the world,
At least, this world.
Perhaps,
Possibly,
Another?

I implemented this habit in my everyday routine about two years ago, and it's helped me feel refreshed and ready to face each day.   2)  Take Cool Showers This particular habit was quite difficult for me to begin, as I absolutely love taking warm, steamy showers. However, taking cool showers in lieu of warm ones has helped improve my daily productivity, as well as having some science-y benefits. For one, my shower time has been cu...

Friday Feature

After another crazy year of school, my first day of summer break finally began this Friday. (Yay!) I was super duper excited to finally start up a regular blog, now that I had time to focus on it. As soon as I got home Friday, I sat down at my computer, eager and ready to create my beautiful blog. However, I had forgotten about one important step: thinking up a name. You're probably wondering how I managed to forget that step; yeah, me too. For the past few months, I had been so enthusiastic about starting a blog in the summer, and I had planned it all out in my head. But, I somehow missed this one super important part, and now I was stuck right at step one. My mind was at a blank for ideas. After 2 hours of writing down words and trying to find the right combination, one of them finally clicked: The Theory of Things. A very vague and general title for a very general blog. I plan on writing about anything and everything that comes up in my life, providing readers with my tho...
