I know things haven’t been the way they should for you, lately. I know that there is much wrong going on in your life. Nothing feels good to you, no puzzle falls back right at its place, it’s a mess, just like the mascara that spreads on the face after we try to remove it.

I know that there are days when you just want to vent everything out, but then there are days when you want to stay as silent as the ocean without the full moon, or that show piece on your side table. That you want someone to be by your side, want them to just sit there, no words, no promises, just you and them and the eternal tranquility inside your soul. I know you want to lay low, for as long as you don’t know how to fly again, but with this assurance of someone being next to you laying low, that you need a friend through all the highs and lows, and then again you feel too afraid to even look out for that person.

Because you have been judged, tagged as someone who shows off. Because when you tried finding that one in your life, you were brutally rejected. I am sorry that the world failed you, that it showed you not to trust anyone, I am no magician. I can never promise that I can make all the pieces of puzzle fall back in to its places.

I can never say that you will heal quickly after I hear and help you out. But, I can assure you that we will figure things out together, that I will heal with you in this process. I will assure to be the ears when you need, the hands to dry tears when you weep, to be the shoulder to lean, and most importantly I will be the silent ocean whenever you need.

Please don’t kill yourself, please don’t die. All the dreams of yours are still there, they need you. Your body needs you. All your wishes and desires need you. No, I don’t want to say that this world needs you, no I don’t want to say that I need you, because the truth is that yes we need someone to rely on, or we need that shoulder to cry on but it is also true that we don’t die with the dead, life moves on.

But, I don’t know we just needs someone, anyone in our life. Life can go on without people in it, but that life is just the repetition of waking up and falling back asleep with no love, no hope and no desires in heart. And, I will be that person, because the truth is I can’t see you like this, like being the one in the room who is full of talent but still wants to die, I want to be there for you to help you go through everything. There are these things that need you the most.

Your desires and wishes need you, your talent shouldn’t be treated like this, it needs to be showed off, you need to make all of your magical powers work. Whenever you need, I’ll be that shoulder to cry on, that person whom you can call at nights or crash in the mornings, someone who will listen to you all day long, someone who will just sit with you not saying a word at all, having those silent talks, someone who will leave you will go away if you want some time alone l, but always watching from a safe distance, someone who will be there every single day, without a doubt.

But it’s not about me, or someone who left you, or ditched you, or dumped you, or called you off, it’s only about this gorgeous human being who has the greatest powers in this wole wide world, totally different form others, it’s about that someone capable of things no one in this world has, it is about You.
YOU NEED YOURSELF,
YOUR DREAMS NEED YOU,
STAND UP,
HEAL,
FOR YOUR OWN SELF,
BLUR EVERYONE ELSE.
LIVE MY FRIEND,
PLEASE LIVE.

There will be series of letters addressed to the fire, I'll be writing. These are he letters we all want to send to our loved ones but sadly can’t. They are fictio-ality (fiction and reality) and this is a word I just made up 😂😂😂
Anyways, here we go💐
