LITTLE HAVEN

 


I think you and I have the same problem

Do we?

We are just afraid to let a real relationship happen

Because we know how easy it is

To lose the ones we love

Dear Reader,

Do you sometimes feel unlucky? Feeling as if life is out to get you. As if the mechanics of the world just arise and say let’s mess this guy’s life a little today. Seeing as if nothing works out for you (this feels so Déjà vu), seeing as if you are the only one losing in life.

But I was reading the script and the writer wrote;

“Have you ever thought about how small the chances are that you would be born? If just one thing in history had changed, just one of your millions of ancestors hadn't crossed paths at the exact moment they did, then you wouldn't exist. You'd never have even lived a single day.

I mean, it's pretty scary, but if we're honest with ourselves, then it all comes down to chance. And I guess life is about grabbing those chances when they come around.”

 

I took a deep breath and sighed. That was so true and humbling and for a minute I thought, why do I have this need to move fast. I am unable to keep up and when I realize that I don’t then I fall into this dark depressing pit and life still moves on but hey breathe.

I cannot imagine myself not living. I want to continue trying and growing and learning and unlearning and loving and caring and and … being alive. Death is scary, to me, it means I would no longer get chances to be lucky and I am afraid that I wouldn’t experience life when I do. I wouldn't get to wake up and wonder what makes those damn crickets so loud in the morning (They really piss me off when I stroll around)

 

Life is not all about the hard parts, it’s also about you getting an acoustic version of Clair de Lune and wondering how God gave Debussy such creativity to create art that would move me right this minute and make me want to call her and proclaim my undying love and affection for how much I feel alive whenever I get to see her … my little haven!

 

Life is also getting a line from a script and writing about it then losing focus again but that is your art, all messy and flawed but still beautiful to you.
So live and love and be at peace; that fickle chance that made you get born meant there are numerous chances ahead of you.

Love,

 

Thairu.

SEB'S

Dearly Beloved, It's been six years since I said I'd watch this piece, La La Land. I've been afraid, though, afraid that it might become my life. A line reads that whoever is afraid of suffering is already suffering from what they fear, and clearly, I have become it.  Seb says that he is letting life hit him till it gets tired then he will hit back and that line made me laugh as life has been hitting me lately. A line reads that don't kick a man whose on the ground but life didn't get the memo since I've been receiving my daily share of kicks everyday. You know, life not being as I had envisioned it as a child. Be married at 25 and have cars and houses and horses and kids... and now I can barely follow through a movie as I need rest.  Mia and Seb are what I had and what I craved for so I understood their story. How both of them sought after their dreams and worked towards them but then life chose different trajectories for them and life seemed good but they were...

L'amour De Ma Vie!

Dearest Reader, Yesternight I lay beside a woman I desired. She was the embodiment of all I wanted but wasn't what I needed. It took me too long to realize that, though. I may have been so fixated on the idea of being with her that I lost myself in my own whims of what I thought I wanted.  Want and need always seem blurry to me. I always want things that make my heart race, and I chase after them, then realize that I just needed some peace of mind and slow music. But does that mean that I shouldn't chase after what I want? What if that want causes me more damage than I can handle and I finally break? Break because I have spent my years holding on to the hope that I will always be okay, as I walked on a tight leash and a single misstep would cause my death. I have all these fears of finding a good woman. Fears that have no basis since I do not know what a good woman is. Is a good woman someone who resembles my mother? Is a good woman someone whom I love that she loves me? Nah, I...

LOVERS DON'T LET GO!

My Darling, There’s something peculiar about her, how I placed her on a pedestal she never asked for. She didn’t think she was all that, but I saw her as everything. She left, but somehow, she still lingers. A voice in the quiet. A memory that won't be quiet. Don’t you even think of giving up. Don’t you even. Don’t you even say you’ve had enough. You’re not leaving. The thing about breakups is that they never announce themselves. You wake up on what feels like a beautiful day, and then bam! your world flips. Suddenly, the one you love doesn’t love you anymore. Just like that. I still don’t understand it. How do you stop loving someone? Can you even stop? Or did you never really love them at all? Most of us never get closure. We just learn to carry the silence like it’s part of us. Don’t you know that lovers don’t let go? No, no, not like that. Take your time, but come back. To me, love has always been something that loops. It returns, even if it slows do...
