i wonder if im writing myself in or out of existence with every breath of thought that spills ink on paper. i may write myself into existence through my poetry, but every bird has the sky as their limit. and if all that's left of me are these words, then i am writing my own cage. would it be true to everything i am and am not? would it fit in there? probably not. 
          	
          	ultimately, there is only so many dimensions of my wordy box that my real self can fit into. so i suppose that at the end of the day, the aim is to either expand my horizons to the point where it turns into a little universe where birds wouldn't need air to fly, or for me to impossibly squeeze all the nuances that come with being inherently human in the box. and since the time i have is so short in the larger picture, i might as well spend this lifetime at least trying to make this cage a little less cramped, or die trying.

@Sahilvd237 @eternal_solace when I speak of a ripple due to another existence, i mean that we (as a human existence) are affected by another existence which could be anything, not necessarily a human being. What I observe is the interconnectedness of this world. And as long as there is something or someone apart from us, it will affect us in one way or the other. 
          	  
          	  Abt the 3rd stanza, it's a more deeper topic I would say. I believe that we r a complete existence in ourselves. Emotions are like ripples to us. So if u ripple in a certain way u feel a certain emotion. So it's a law of universe. The complications are another matter here. Would love to discuss because I haven't went deeper than this. 
          	  
          	  The need to express arises simply because of the ripples. And the fact that there are ripples simply means we are not yet aware of the perfectness of our existence. In whatever we do, may it be writing or art or dance or whatever, our existence can't help but express itself, irrespective of the explicitness or implicitness expressed medium (vocabulary in this case). What I mean here is whatever we do will carry a part of us, at that particular moment of time, in whatever state it is + a perfection which kind of leaks away unbeknownst to us. When an expanded existence, which might be us at a future time, comes across the same, they can feel it. 
          	  
          	  E.g it might have happened that we r just doing something casually or just for fun, but another person notices something, may be a single sentence we composed, and tells us that,...dude you seem to have a potential. 
          	  
          	  Another example, when I read your works I could feel the emotion or intensity...for instance, in the "saint" poem which I read recently. But I could feel it because let's say we have accessed that part of existence which could make us feel and understand and interpret. 
          	  
          	  So the accuracy depends on how expanded is the reader. It would be wrong to conclude if we r more of us today than later.

Solace! 
          I haven't heard from you in ages! How are you?

eternal_solace

@polina--p That's cool! I'm sure you could win one of those awards (cheering you on over here!). And you know what? It's okay to prioritise yourself. I haven't posted much either. We have lives outside of wattpad and it's understandable that you want to grow here too. Just take it in your own pace, and you'll get there. 
            
            I'm curious, how is translation going? And your profile is cute! I was wondering why you'd changed it lol. As you can tell I'm not fussed (just lazy) about my profile ahaha, I'm just here to post, but I think it's cool to have an aesthetic. Also, Polina is such a pretty name! Does it mean anything?

@eternal_solace, I'm glad you're doing well! I'm fine too, doing all sorts of interesting projects and, speaking specifically about 抖阴社区, I entered a lot of different awards here for fun :D
            I haven't posted anything for a long time, ig I'm just not in the resource to give others as much attention as I want to get myself. 
            
            I translate one verse at the moment and even almost finished that, but I also need to change a lot of things here on my profile. Like chapter banners, for example.
            You've probably noticed that I changed my username :D
            It's now my real name and the first letter of my surname.

Sahilvd237

@eternal_solace Well i believe we all r on a spiritual journey. 
            
            I would say it's a bit of both for me. There's this playlist on YouTube call 'Jeevan Vidya parichay shivir' which my friend had recommended. I try listening to those videos every now and then as time permits. And it really helps. Apart from that, I have also started a bit of pranayama. So it helps too.

            Festival season is on it's way too. Ganpati, gokul-ashtami, etc. 
            
            And I am also feeling more balanced than last month.

@Sahilvd237 ahaha, I have playlists for all the decades from the 50s onwards. Those singers are just too good though, I can't get enough of them. Lyrics are profound as well. And now I have lag ja gale stuck in my head! 
            
            Frank Sinatra is one of my comfort singers. His songs are also a vibe! Also yesss I completely forgot about 1D, gotta rewind and get back into that phase ahaha. I've heard of the rest except Sparkle, so I'll have a listen to that. 
            
            Flute and violin are such beautiful instruments, I love hearing little excerpts of them. sitar and tabla would be fun! reminds me of when I was younger and my neighbour used to let me play with their tablas. I mean, it's been a long time since I've played. Maybe I'll get back into it. It would be cool to post on youtube.

@eternal_solace sure, got to finish "man's search for meaning" first. Then "meditation". 
            
            As for Oregairu, yep, it's good. It even got an imdb rating of 7.9 and MAL score of 8.
