WE HAD TODAY!

“Whatever happens tomorrow, we had today!”

How often do we take life for granted before we touch the ground and start all over again? 


Quite often… a lot actually. 


The warmth pumping through our veins is what drives us after all. We keep chasing for the dam warmth, leaving behind a long line of decisions while collecting experiences (sometimes even growth) on our way.  


Some days we are our impulses and do what feels right in the moment, most days we shut it all out. We aren’t what we are by birth, we are what we are by choices - warm and patient, confused and yearning, cold and angry or worse, hurt and indifferent; it’s familiar, it's comforting.


In fact, living in the moment isn’t a bad thing at all, chasing comfort isn’t a bad thing either, neither is giving into impulses. So, how can something that sounds and feels right in the moment, come with a price? Loss of time, regrets and what ifs - more often than not they are expensive and heavy; maybe even heavier than a 30 year mortgage. 


There is no answer or solution.


But, at least we had today. Consequences be damned, we had today! 


We tried something today! 

We loved today!

We made our mark today! 

We broke something today… someone’s heart, or our own! 


Whatever lies tomorrow, we took a breath and lived today! 


Now let’s move on and do it all over again.

Passion is necessity

What is passion if not a necessity, Hobby is just another word for those who can't do it. For those who can, it’s called living to simply Be You  What is fire if not one more element to fuel your dreams Do what you love,  For one day, people will love you for what you do and simply Be You. Challenges will come your way, In the form of others, and some days in the form of YOU.  Obstacles are here to stay So is the family, your friends, the society and the world So what if they tell you that you can’t BE YOU,  BELIEVE, FOR YOU CAN’T BE ANYBODY BUT YOU! Fight doubts like you breathe to live Don’t live to survive like generations told you to Live to thrive like it was always meant for you   Do whatever it is your heart desires, Do wherever the day takes you, Take life wherever you want to Do whatever feels right for YOU, Do what you must, always, Do, not doubt.

18 year old bottle of Tender Loving Care

It’s like F Scott Fitzgerald said, “First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.” You’re like the 21 st century version of his quotes... I see you look down at your tumbler and swirl that peg of amber liquid like you know what you’re doing... like you know your way around it. I see you stare it down with such insurmountable amount of devotion, almost as if it’s spinning some magical story. Your pupils dilate and you hazily gaze at me mumbling something only you would understand; I pretend to listen and nod along as always because even in that tipsy state, you’re charming and I, for all the wrong reasons, find that irresistible. It makes me a little green because I wish you would look at me the way you look at that mighty fine bottle of Talisker. It’s as if you are undressing that dam 18 year old bottle of scotch with your eyes. You know in English language it’s called ‘Leering’. It amuses and breaks my heart at the same time because I
