#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry #232 - Beauty Imperfect

You bare scars, because you have been broken.
They form ridges and curves and lines upon your soul...
Your heart...
And your mind.
Creating a disfigured masterpiece so unique and individual, that its beauty is almost blinding...
Captivating in its pain,
Mesmerizing in its resilience.

You are beauty, because you bare scars,
Fitted and molded to your creation...
Imperfections and tear stains collide in gracious harmony...

So tranquil and serene, you could, just possibly, go deaf...

You are life... as you possess bravery so reckless and demanding that it is enviable.
You grab at these challenges as if they are gifts and embrace them within your very being as if to attempt to make them physically apart of you...
Like a limb, made of mistakes or a child bore of defiance.

You are love,
... Because you are in existence.
So pure and rare. That at times I feel my heart may stop from being in your mere presence.
So radiant and unfamiliar, in all of it's comfort...

You are inspiration, simply because you have me captured.
Consumed by your spirit,
... Your Rhapsody is my nirvana...

And finally...

I am content.

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry#1 - The Id.

Hello there. How are you? Let me tell you a little about myself. I have an unmatched appreciation for laughter. An immense craving for intellect. A desire for self discovery. A penchant for the unknown. The curiosity of a kitten. A hunger for creativity... I've never been lucky in love, nor have I been unlucky. I have just been in it. Love. Every moment, every act, every verse... I've fallen so many times and gotten back up inspite of it. I think too much yet I am gravely impulsive. My deepest thoughts are spoken with my eyes. And my laughter is my heart. I feel... I feel with my soul. And I live through my mind. I am spontaneous, unusual and... me. I am whimsy and stories and art. I am sad songs and abrasive humour. I am honesty. I am pain. I am doubt and contradiction. I am strength and rejuvenation. Belief and fight. I am many things... most of them indescribable. Put simply, I am human... Every day. Just human. -Y. Salmon

Life's Love Day.

So, come the eve of Valentine's day, I'll be pulling an over-nighter at work and with any luck I'll be dragging myself into bed by 10am Valentine's morning. Either way I'll be alone. Curled up in my blankets, completely unaware of the passing events of the actual day itself. Which is why I'm making this blog today. Needless to say, I initially dreaded the upcoming 'day of love' and all the connotations that come with it. I found myself viewing the day with uncharacteristically severe cynicism and disdain. And leaning towards the belief that Valentine's day was just a day for chocolate and card companies to take advantage of all the 'happy hearts' out there and at the same time make the members of the lonely hearts' club feel like absolute crap. But the real truth of the matter was this. I was just feeling bummed myself...as I knew that I was a member of the lonely hearts' club this year. And it sucked. I was all too aware of the fact ...
