Don't be afraid. If you do, just look beyond.

The best feeling in life is when you're down, kicked around, tired and alone (impossible tasks mounting in queue, emotions going round in haywire and did I mention the dire need to sleep and the harmful miasma?) You were so overwhelmed you resorted to flip the rug and let the dirt out - the amount of things you have swept under it was just too much...

And then, the universe just seemingly conspired to make you feel better from that point on - schedule easing up to give you sleep and time to cook, professors taking turns to cheer you up, old friends calling in, new friends standing by, nicer part of the orbit showing positive irregularity,-

- there is Love in that. The One with a capital letter in front, the One passed down through multiple channels and multiple beings both sentient and not. On the other hand, it may be a series of fortunate coincidences. But I, as I've mentioned multiple times, am a huge fan of stories and it is still a heartwarming and well developed plot points. So, if I can have a herd of passing by stars as my annual birthday present, why not this?

Some of the most impactful advices I got from both the Bible and my parents. Among them is a bold "Don't be afraid. Especially if you feel like it's the right thing to be brave about."

The highest form of Love was a huge sacrifice to give people the freedom to do the right things. For me, it's kinda like "Hey, look. Even if they judge you, shame you and trample on you because of that, it's alright, man. You're still loved, you are still wanted, and it's never too late. Even if you have to end your life prematurely because of that, well, there's a secret and it's a good one: there is some other things beyond this one. You are free now, so go ahead and love your brethren, enjoy the universe, explore your potential - this may be the only chance you could be in this specific incarnation, so live this one to the fullest, yeah? Just keep in mind that you also have to look beyond, kay? See you there."

And for all that, I thank the Lord in my prayers.
