Humans. 

When I say people, I don't just mean the ones who have left behind a legacy for people to follow. I mean everyone, every single person around me. 

It's 12:15 a.m and I have economics test tomorrow, but I have never felt so awake and alive in my nocturnal life, so this thing comes first. Here's something about me: 

I love to observe people. A lot. There is this instagram page "humansofny" that has inspired me and continues to do so every single day, in ways I can't even tell you. I am a little selfish person, if I find something that is really good and inspiring, I don't share it. I keep it to myself because I want it to be a part of me and only me, and maybe there might be someone else in the equivalent world feeling the same thing just as me. But this time, maybe I'll just tell you what it is. 

I read a post in that account about a girl who made herself a flower crown because she had a rough week. I have read posts about broken relations, about strong will, about innocent thoughts, about sacrifices, of passion, of urges so big that the entire world might just seem like a little genie who has run out of wishes to offer. These things, they make me feel very happy and at the same time curious. 

It is so beautifully amazing. We breathe, all of us do, eat, sleep and dream like every other human but it amazes me how different we are. No fingerprint has matched another's till date. We are made up of the same stardust that created the world billions of years ago and it really doesn't matter if we are better off or worse. The problems in our lives will be of the same mass as compared to anyone else's. The only thing that remains different- is the shape of the problem. 

It's okay to wear things that is not "chic",  it is okay to have a desire to live and yet die at the same time. It is okay to have bad dreams. It is okay to love things that you can't have. It is okay to not be the best but to be someone who is constantly evolving. It is okay to lose sometimes. It is okay to cry. It is okay to not cry. Do you know why? Because no matter what happens, no matter how hard it is, we can Live with it. We always have. It's hard and I won't deny that. But all of this... it only makes us stronger and that is how we grow as humans. 

Human lives inspire me in way I will never be able to express. 

Quoting F. Scott Fitzgerald from The Great Gatsby: 

" Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch our arms farther and one fine morning-" 

Well that is for us to figure out. 

Love always,
