Words

Words.



Letters strung together to form a meaning. Sentences and sentences of meaning that brings life to a blank page, be it physical or digital.



I find beauty in words, in sentences. The intimate, intricate beauty that no other form is able to possess. I marvel their ability to be a sharp as a razor-edged sword, or as delicate as the flutter of butterfly wings. I stand in awe at their finesse, how they can convey so much with a single word, and so little, with twenty.




Words are a form of art, that can never be fully comprehended, never fully understood, never shown in its full glory. Words inspire. They encourage. Move. But they also demolish. Devour. Break.

They can transform, but they can also conform.

And this is where we fit in. You. And I. All of us. We are the weavers of the most beautiful threads in this universe. Threads that are as beautiful as they are unfathomable. Threads that are as close to our hearts as they are untouchable.

A syllable, a word, a sentence, that is all we need to effect a change, to bare our hearts, to introduce our worlds to one another.





This is the reason I started this blog: to explore my passion, and hopefully, in the process, manage to inspire you, as they have inspired me. Even just for a little bit. A single second. A slight revelation.

All walks of life, all knowledge attainable and unattainable in this world, they all live in words.

My desire is to show the world, show you, this side of me, the side that is harder to showcase as it is subtle, as it does not hog the spotlight. My hope is that the words that I use will somehow reveal some things to you, and to move you as they have moved me.

Thus, if you are reading this, thank you for joining me in this dream, and I hope that I won't let you down.






Open up your hearts, 
and allow yourself to feel.


Love,

eunice.



Take The Leap

We are all capable of breaking free from our fears.

Forget about the voices shouting by your ears. Forget about the pounding inside your head. Stop shaking, cease the trembling. They can take everything from you, but your faith, your beliefs, your determination, your dreams? No one can take that away from you.



We live in a society of walls built up so high sometimes the top seems untouchable. But you know, deep down, that you were made for this: to scale the walls out of reach. So, do it. Yes, it's scary. Yes, people will laugh and point, but if it's what you care about, none of these matter. In the end, it's you.

However, you will also fall. But one who gets back to one's feet is stronger than those who are chained by their fears. It's okay to stumble. Half a step is also progress. Even if you don't get stars, reaching for them will land you in the starlight. After all, we have to consider: is it worth letting go because you are afraid, only to spend the rest of your days agonising over the should-haves and what-ifs?



Ultimately, this is a choice that all of us have to make for ourselves. Take the leap, but more importantly, wait for the right time to do so. But while you're waiting, keep the faith, lift your head high. Don't be a robot of this society. We don't have to only survive. We can live too.



Believe. Hold on. Remember.

Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for what you deserve.

Keep dreaming. Keep believing.




Love,

Eunice.
