Some days I have a smile on my face. Yet inside I am breaking apart. Sometimes that trophy is all I want. Yet when I get it, it was not the rosy picture I’d painted. Some days the world doesn’t make sense at all. And other days I think I’ve found the missing puzzle pieces. Somehow, somewhere he meant a lot to me. And yet he never did. Most days I believe there’s a God. Then religion strikes back at my faith. On days I help a poor fellow, the papers print how another looted millions. Some days I want much more than all the colours of the rainbow. Then there are days when even black and white are too much to handle. There are moments when I am the centre of my universe. Then there are times when I wish I could replace an atom. Some days solitude is all I want. Other days I crave to be around people. Some days I wish my dreams came real. Other days I want my reality to become a dream.
And in all of this confusion and clarity, dejection and joy, devastation and creation there’s life. And that itself is reason enough to celebrate. I may not yet know what my purpose of life is, but that’s okay. As long as I keep walking, the road will become clearer and things will begin to make sense. I will as long as I can. Until I can’t. Life’s uncertain. Death isn’t.
We humans are a paradox. One moment we’re happy as we can be, and the next we’re extremely sad.

Wow! This is such a powerful piece of writing. That initial part held me, showed me the uncertainly of life. The latter part then guided me, consoled me that life is supposed to be uncertain. Thank you Adi.

Some things are part of the basic human nature I guess. Some things do not vary a lot from person to person.
And you are welcome.

Loved the words and how contrasting each sentence was with the next one but then in the end it all made perfect sense. Life is like that as you said that we don’t know what’s the purpose behind our existence but in the end, it will all make perfect sense. Kudos for such great thoughts 😉
