All of us reach crossroads in our lives and they are frustrating to navigate. For all reasons, we feel frustrated trying to make sense of things or to try and make decisions.
How then do we lighten that red color and lessen the anger?
The
Vermilion
Cloth
Wraps
Tightly
Round the neck
Strangles
Unwrap
With
Blue Scissors
That cut
With calm
Cutting the
Red threads
With shears
That do not
Start
To cut
Until
They know
What stained
the cloth
A harsh
Red color
They will
pause at
The parts
Where stains
get
Too deep
The Blue
Shears
Tour the lining
Of the cloth
And find out
What
They need
To know
Blue shears
Calm
Cut and
Tickle
They tease
Until
The Red
Of the cloth
Turns a
Pure
White.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Definitely, colours has their own impact. Similarly, our dressing is also the mirror of our personality. Well, my wife follows the fashion and now she is demanding for vintage clothes. I want to know which store has a good quality of vintage clothes?
