The Cost Of Survival

  



Yes, novels cost money, and yet the pages, filled with worlds unknown, call to me like old friends waiting to be rediscovered.

 Yes, Red Bull might spike my heart, but there’s something about that brief rush that makes the world feel alive for a moment. 

Yes, cigarettes when I'm too stressed or battling anxiety attacks feel like a fragile shield. The smoke swirls around me, and for a moment, I breathe easier, even though I know it's not the answer. 

Yes, late night scrolling leaves my eyes heavy and tired, but in those quiet hours, I find a kind of peace in the chaos of thoughts.


Yes, chocolate may leave stains in my skin , yet in its sweetness, I find comfort.

 Yes, coffee races my pulse and makes my hands shake, but in the warmth of the cup, I feel a connection to all the dreams yet to be chased.

 Yes, staying up until dawn leaves me tangled in exhaustion, but in those quiet hours, when the world sleeps and I’m alone with my thoughts, there’s a certain magic to the stillness.


Yes, spending hours hunched over a screen has made my neck ache and my back cry for relief, but the connections I’ve built, the knowledge I’ve gained, all come from the very thing that strains me. 

Yes, saving money might be wise, but spending it on life's beauty feels like buying a moment in time, a moment I want to hold onto.


But despite all of this..

The cost, 

The consequences, 

The exhaustion,

I’ve decided to live life anyway. Because sometimes, it's the little imperfections, the indulgences, the contradictions, that make life worth living.

The Cup of Tea

                                                                                  You know, life...  Life has its own instrumentals,its own strange choreography. It doesn’t always waltz in step with our plans, and sometimes it drags us across the floor when all we want is to sit down and rest.  But then,  one fine day,  something happens.. something quiet.. something almost imperceptible… You wake up, and it’s as if the weight you’ve carried all these years has dissolved in the silence of the morning.  The grudges you nursed like old wounds..they’re gone.  The baggage you dragged through every moment..they’re not yours anymore.  You’re free. And suddenly,  the world feels like it’s made of color again.  The air is sweeter, the sunlight feels...

Through Your Eyes

Image
                                                         The world becomes so beautiful,vibrant and alive, when seen through your eyes.  How you hold the universe in your gaze, like a painter dipping his brush into the infinite colors of dawn.  Your eyes see beauty in the smallest things..a raindrop, a fluttering leaf, the way the light touches the earth at dusk.  Each moment, you see.. you breathe life into, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Through your  eyes, the world isn’t just a place, it’s a canvas of endless possibilities.  How even in the darkest moments, you see hope not as a distant dream, but as the warmth in every sunrise.  The world is never as cruel, never as cold when you are  there to remind it of its hidden kindness, its quiet tenderness. Through your eyes, I see the wor...

The Myth of Law as Social Engineering: Idealism Vs Reality

Image
"Law is social engineering." This profound statement by Roscoe Pound encapsulates the transformative potential of legal systems.  Unlike traditional engineering, which constructs tangible edifices like houses and roads, social engineering through law seeks to build the intangible frameworks of society—justice, order, and social welfare. However, the dissonance between this ideal and the realities on the ground raises an important question: why does the law, envisioned as a powerful tool of social engineering, often fail to produce visible outcomes akin to its physical engineering counterparts? For decades, the concept of law as social engineering has struggled to gain traction. Several factors contribute to this discrepancy. The complexity of human behavior plays a significant role. Unlike physical materials, human behavior is unpredictable and influenced by myriad factors—cultural, economic, psychological, and social. Laws may aim to engineer societal outcomes, but their imp...
