All the bright places




Words from a lilly.

I know of someone who says that this world isn't balanced. And I agree.

Some struggle to survive while some don't.

Some labour all day long but never have enough and some make money even while asleep. 

'Why is life like this?' you ask.

Well, all stars shine but the brightness of each one differs, even though they are all 'stars'.

All fingers are not equal. Everyone just can't be the same, but that doesn't mean you can't grow.

A gate man today can become the CEO of a renown business tomorrow. The ones mocked today can become the one celebrated in the future.

Life can be messy, so so messy but life can also be beautiful.

Can someone broken be mended? Can a person's broken mind be healed? Can we find our peace despite our tears, can we love despite having no one to love us back? Can we fully recover from pain and loss?

We've all lost something or someone, this is life but each person's mental capability to endure the weight of the loss is your strength, but not everyone is strong.

Often we're weary, often we're tired but there will always be hope to get better because even more than the sadness, the pain, the loss is beauty, happiness, and love unimaginable.

King David once asked God to make him see days of joy just as much as he'd seen days of sorrow.

We know there is evil, we know there is death and wickedness and we tend to dwell so much on this that we sometimes forget that there is love too, peace, tranquility, joy. . .yes even in this dark world.

There is light all around you.

We need to look for it and we need to be able to recognize it; beauty in the smiles of your siblings, wanting to go to the toilet and there's just the right amount of tissue paper left, or when you eat a good meal or drink a cold beverage after the sun has dealt with you, or when a child is born or when you're watching your favourite show, or when you do a good deed and you're recognized for it, or listening to your favourite song or when you're desperately tired and suddenly Nepa decided to notice you. It could be anything.

It's in the little things, choose to be happy and watch out for all the bright places or better still, 

Be one yourself.





Inspired by life and the movie 'All the bright places.'

With love from a flower in her garden,

    It feels great to know that one can always create happiness for oneself and there is always light at the end of the tunnel regardless of one's current situation

HER

 She was the one. He could see it, touch it and could very well feel it. She was asleep now, in his arms. It was worth it, staying in bed with her like this. It still amazed him. She'd picked him out of every guy out there. This wonderful human chose _him_ to spend the rest of her life with. It was love at first sight.  They'd met in college. She was new to the school, a foreigner and she'd left him utterly breatheles. As usual he was bored in class until she came in through the door. They were having a general subject. Time stopped in that moment. He saw their past, present and future all in that one gaze. She was the one. But why would anyone, especially her, choose him? He'd asked this over and over again. She seemed like an angel always smiling, she was passionate and was also majoring in medicine. He majored in aeronautics with a minor in arts. He was the silent type, and she was too but somehow she'd gotten him to speak, something he rarely did. Her soft smile...

He is.

Wine is sweet. Pain is not. If humans were to choose the course of their own lives, down to the people and circumstances that affected them, how would it look like? What would they choose? How would the world look like without God? The most excellent One, our Creator. Life is unpredictable. But we have the assurance of a constant when all else fails. It is not in the way of man to direct himself. Our choices sometimes lead to peril, but with God tough times are bearable. Even when you can't see what is in front of you, trust Him. He'll make a way, He always does. He is the light that splits the darkness.  His existence is beyond cause and effect. He transcends both life and death.  No name can contain him, no name does Him justice. I though about it and realised the only whole way to describe God is to just say, "He is." Because He is that He is. . . . . . Taiwililly🌼 Please don't forget to subscribe, share and comment!! You know I love youu.😘

MADE

 Let the rivers of living waters flow and wash it away; wash anxiety, depression, sorrow, darkness. Let us be illuminated by the light of your countenance. The tightness in our chest let it be relieved as we sing your songs and dance your dance. To the one who made humans, to the one who is patient despite our failings to the one person who will never discard us I appreciate, honour and adore. Our lives will have meaning because you are in it. And before we were made, you knew us. As we were secretly woven, piece by piece, hair by hair. You know us each by name. A marvel and a wonder. Let the voices cease, the ones in our heads that deceives us till there's only you. Because your thoughts for our lives are good and not evil to give us a hope and an expected end. For in the image of the great King were we created and so for that reason, I am wonderfully, gloriously and fearfully made. . . . Taiwolilly🌸 Please comment your thoughts down below and subscribe! ❤
