poem_word: the whistle of The Medusa

it is the sound of the click
a cup clicking against the lone table
listen to the echo of that cacophony
in a crowd it gets lost, but — an empty room
makes it reverberate as ominous as —
the whistle of The Medusa!

“You don’t understand. She has a different perception.”

“The mind is the strongest muscle in your body. If you aren’t growing it your are losing your power” — Lewis Howes

“If you do what everyone else is doing, you shouldn’t be surprised to get the results everyone else is getting.” — Unknown

They judge me without teaching me.

Before the day we graduate:

“Don’t worry beta, son, you are still young. You don’t need to earn. I am here. You just focus on your studies.”

After the day we graduate:

“Go out. Get a job. You are an adult now. Be responsible. Earn money. How long are you going to live on your father’s pieces?”

I want to be The Man of the House.

Tell me you don’t want that?

Tell me you don’t want to feel important?

Tell me you want to live a life just for the sake of existence?

Tell me you want to die a miserable pig?

Tell me you don’t want to make your family proud?

Don’t settle for anything less than great.

MyStory:

Today I made a move. I made up my mind.
1) I thought what is the worst that can happen? They will say No. They will slap me. They will laugh at me. I am going to leave heart-broken and embarrassed.
2) I accepted and acknowledged that yes it will and has happened to remove the fear from my mind and heart.
3) I made my move with the consequences and their mitigations in my mind to be as confident and subtle as possible.

How you spend years from 18–22 — define you.

Today I met Jasmine. She is a fresher in my department. What a beautiful and young lady. As far as I can guess she must be 18 or 19. I had a talk with her for a few minutes and then we parted ways. But for the time we talked and listened to each other, I got to know that she is a good listener. A gorgeous face with a kind heart. And, she was wearing glasses (😍).
