One Moment At A Time.

So this entry is kind of a culmination of two previous posts. The one where I talked about the 88 truths of life and how comfort is an addiction. I went back and read those truths the other day and I found another one I enjoy which my friend also pointed out in the comments of that post. And it is this:

You never have to live for more than one moment at a time.

This one has been particularly useful to me the past few weeks as I've had a few ups and downs lately. The 2nd post that this entry relates to is the one where I wrote about being a writer. Or failing at being one. But finally, both of my posts have come to action. I live for moments at a time and I have finally written a poem! Although inspiration seems to strike me best in that state of half-awake-half-asleep but I managed to get it down before the land of nod takes over. It could probably still use a bit of work, but for your um, delight? I've decided to share it here with you. You'll maybe understand the moments part of it when you read it :P

Love me in a moment,
When time shall stand still,
As we gaze,
Deeply,
Longingly,
Lovingly,
Into each others eyes,
The windows of our souls,
As they intertwine,
Like your fingers,
Laced with mine,
As our hearts beat rapidly,
While lips caress,
Skin on skin,
And love fills,
The empty void,
Hidden deep within,
Then the clock [tick tock],
Ticks and it chimes,
As we fall together,
Apart,
You loved me in that moment,
Then you broke my heart.

Until next time,
Sami

Comfort.

Hello blogosphere, I know it's been too long and I hope you can forgive me for that! But here I am on this actually-quite-horrible-outside Monday with a sparkily new layout and I have posts planned and ready to go. So, on with it!

A few friends and I were talking the other day randomly over a meal and a hot chocolate (it might be spring, but hey it's still cold). We often make fun of one of my friends for being hot-headed and for play-fighting when there is no real need for violence. In a reaction to that, my other friend brought up the 88 truths about life.

I personally hadn't heard of these 88 truths about life but I went home and decided to look it up. I found it Here. I read the list and understood that he was talkng with reference to my friend about number 21:

21. Anger reveals weakness of character, violence even moreso.

Whether you choose to believe that is one thing or another, I don't believe it's a weakness, it's just a way of dealing with things that is different from others. But anyway, as I read down the list, I found myself nodding in agreement with most of them until I reached number 30:

30. The most common addiction in the world is the draw of comfort. It wrecks dreams and breaks people.

This one kind of shocked me until I sat down and thought it over. Comfort is a common addiction. Some people dream big and then never get to achieve their dreams because they feel that home is a better place for them to be. Of course it is, because it's what you are used to, it's comfortable enough for you. I myself, am guilty of this addiction, I prefer being somewhere I feel comfortable and I hate new situations because they make me uncomfortable, and they shouldn't. It's just because I'm so used to and comfortable with what I have accepted as my life for the meantime.

But it's this addiction to comfort that will hold us back and probably has already held us back from things in our lives and that scares me. Because I'm a big dreamer, I want to get out of this country and live elsewhere and explore and achieve things that I have dreamt of and if I get too comfortable here with my life now, will I be able to break my addiction and push myself to the limit?

So yeah. There's a thought for you. And you should read the 88 truths and let me know your opinions on them and most especially this one. The more you comment, the more likely I am to keep blogging :P.

So, don't get too comfortable, but stay safe and have a good Easter!
