Don't Love Me Forever (Panta Rhei)


Don't promise me eternal love, because nothing lasts forever.
Don't say you want to be my nothing, because I want you to be my everything.
Just love me now as I am in this moment. Because this is the first and last moment I'll ever be me as I am right now.
There is no guarantee that tomorrow I'll still be the same.
There's nothing to promise.
No obligation.
Love me right now if you will
And I'll be fine
Don't worry about tomorrow's love.
Today is enough.

But everyone wants to be loved forever, don't they?
Listen when I say it's an impossibility not worth trying.
Do I want you to love me tomorrow?
Well, of course!
But I don't want you to love me forever.
Because today you'd love the me you met yesterday.
So today you won't love me at all.
Tomorrow you'll love the me you knew yesterday.
So tomorrow you won't love me at all.

I know I won't be the same tomorrow
So if you love me forever today
I'm afraid I'll be a disappointment.
I want you to stay
I want you to say
You love me
But not the same

You love me as I am today
So love me as I will be tomorrow.
I don't want to be loved tomorrow as I was yesterday
Because that won't be me you'll be loving.
Love who I am not who I was or who I'm yet to be.

Love me now
Forget yesterday
Don't plan for tomorrow

Destroying through Creation

Watching the sunset today made me realise; endings are beginnings and becoming is unbecoming. The end of the day is the beginning of the night. And as the sky becomes dark, it unbecomes light. I cannot separate day and night as if it happened in an instant. Because by doing so, I miss the beautiful process of the flaming colours in the sky. And so I realised that the reason why we count every second is because every second counts. Between 12 noon and 1pm, there are 60 minutes, within 60 minutes are 3 600 seconds and within 3 600 seconds are 3 600 000 000 microseconds. The same applies to life. Between all events are little events inside smaller events. And each of them come together to form the bigger picture. I know you understand processes. Maybe you've looked at them as little events leading to bigger ones. Maybe not. But whatever the case, as I begin my blogging journey, I want you to appreciate the process. Something is ending right now. An ending of over 2 decades has l

I mastered letting go when I learnt to hold on

I’ve been trying to let go of a lot of things To move on from the past. To position myself like the sun And to create the me I want. I know you’ve been there too And sometimes you feel like you’ve failed. It doesn’t make sense how wanting to be better can be so complicated. You’ve found yourself slipping…falling It’s 10 steps forwards and 10 steps backwards Why are you still stuck in the same place? Is it because you haven’t tried hard enough? Or maybe you are just not doing it right? The universe is governed by 1 very fundamental force. It’s called balance. The chaos in the universe is responsible for the peace… Did I lose you there? I’ll say it again… The chaos in the universe is responsible for the peace. But how? How can two completely contrasting things be responsible for one another? …it’s called BALANCE Now Focus. What does this have to do with you letting go and moving on? What does it mean when you are down,

I’ve been thinking about life quite a lot lately About giving, receiving. About infinite cycles and the exchange of energy. About what goes around comes around And why Karma exists. Then I remember my Geography teacher telling us that the water system on earth is a closed system This basically means that the amount of water on day 1 of creation is the exact same amount as today So water merely changes state and location. This took me back to when I read ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ and Hazel Grace saying ‘Some infinities are bigger than others’ And so I started thinking of infinity… You see, the universe is made of an infinite amount of energy, and this infinite amount of energy has been infinite since day 1 of creation. This means that all around us is anything and everything we want and can ever dream of It’s just in a different state or form For example, in order to get good grades you need to swap laziness for hard work, and then fuel yourself up with healthy
