I believe that it’s human nature for us to be curious.
That it is in our blood to explore.

It is the taste of freedom that compels us
to slave for it like a savoured drug.
You lose your mind to an ecstacy that you’ve
never once felt while you were in that safe box
of yours.

Get lost.
Toss aside your moral compass.
Find your soul in somewhere new.
Walk where your feet take you. Tread where the
leaves haven’t been trampled on.
Get into trouble.
Try the things you never knew existed.
7
Just once.
Risk yourself.
It’s what it means to be adventurous.
Right?
In the end what’s important in those adventures is
not to regret anything you’ve done.
Or else, what’s the point?
There is no meaning in staying restricted.
And who knows...

You might find
someone
or
something
at
some place
and at
sometime

At times I land myself in a position with too many
choices to pick from.
Or the polar opposite. An unexpected obstacle
that halts you from progression.
It is at this point where we come to the
realisation that we could always turn
around and try another route.
For there are no true dead ends.

I think trips to find your inner self are just journeys of self reflection.
You realise your worth, but it doesn’t make you realise what you
want. And before you know it, you’re back where you started.
I see them as opportunities to bring yourself to
another level. To make ends meet.
Like how the sky and the land are parallel. Always in sight. Always so close,
but never truly touching.
Except,
for when they meet in the horizon. And
everything becomes seamless. Infinite.

Submit to the great design.
Bask in the ultraviolet.
Feel the electricity coursing through your veins.
Be alive.

Draw inspiration from the souls of the living and the dead.
Like a vampire, whose lust for blood; endless.
Always thirsting, always drinking.
Nothing is ever enough. Feed the greed.

Curiosity is good.
It’s sustenance for the mind.
Learning about the things that interest me has
always provided me with good nourishment.
Especially if it’s something new.
You gain experience from steadily inspecting
every point of detail and appreciate the work
that’s been put into it.
Sometimes they’re the hands that pull you out
of the ditch which traps your mind.
13
Refer.
Indulge.
Experiment.

The journey is just another unsolved equation.

Failing to see the where you’ve crashed doesn’t make you blind.
They’re signs telling you that your path wasn’t clear.
It hurts to fall.
But the pain is worse if you don’t pick yourself up.
It will linger and slowly poison you from the inside.
Be brave and take the next step.
Leap into another land of danger
and excitement.
Never put a pause on the adventure.

the end.

Sticky bridges, crossroads and lonely paths.
You can’t walk straight and you can’t walk past.
You fall and realize;
The songs you hear are just truth and lies.
Words you despise.
Sticky bridges, red lights and traffic signs.
They point you the way but they don’t seem right.
The ones you seek for help wear a disguise.
A blind man follows. He meets his demise.
Sticky bridges, footsteps and beating hearts.
Your eyes connect, and you crave for sex.
You found true love, but you lost the light.
Can’t find your way, so you fear the fight.
Slow breaths, closed lids, but awake at night.
You can’t help but dream about sticky bridges.
