See the world through the eyes of a poet and suddenly, the smallest details become the most meaningful. You begin to appreciate the subtleties in every day life, all the things most people overlook. You feel the love and beauty of Allah in all things.
Close your eyes as you listen to the gentle rush of water from a stream. Reach your hand out and feel the water as it races to its destination. Lie down in the grass and feel your heartbeat slow as you watch the clouds move across the sky.
A poet melts in an atmosphere of warmth, and so devotes themselves in creating warmth everywhere they go. An atmosphere where vulnerabilities are embraced and happiness is in the most gentle gaze. A poet looks people in their eyes as they speak and uses their name often in conversation, for there is little more intimate than the sound of your name.
A soft touch suddenly has layers of meaning. Epics can be written about the eyes of another. The most vulnerable exchanges can happen in silence. Souls can so inexplicably be drawn to each other.
A poet pours all their love into all they do and receives the world with love. A poet smiles at the sky and feels Allah’s majesty in the sight of the sea. A poet finds comfort in the pages of history and sees themselves in the stories of philosophers, rebels, and kings. A poet bears the most courageous gleam in their eyes as they come across mountains their paths, knowing with certainty that stories will be told about how they make it to the other side.
See the world through the eyes of a poet. Love the world with the heart of a poet. Touch the souls of others with the fingers of a poet. Dip your words in gold with the care of a poet. Feel the pain of others with the chest of a poet. Free their chests from pain with the gentleness of a poet. Dress all that is within you in the grace of a poet. Turn your emotions into art with the brush of a poet. Endure all you go through with the perseverance of a poet. Hold your dreams close with the stubborn hope of a poet. Find beauty in all things✨
Today, I just need to get some things off my chest.
Firstly, I want to say that I am deeply grateful for all your love and support. It means a lot to me!
Secondly, I never got to introduce myself properly… hehe. My name is Ella, Taurus sign, and I am a 97line (Bang Chan we are quite old, huh?). I currently write about Stray Kids. I am an adorable Shawol, High Skool, EXO-L, CARAT and STAY :) For my personality I think I am a mixture copy of Bang Chan, Kyungsoo and Wonwoo haha.
Thirdly, before posting "Intertwined," I never truly shared my writings with anyone. But I had a friend back in high school who watched me grow my writing abilities. She would read all my awfully written fanfics about EXO and B.A.P, and leave notes on the pages praising my writing, my plot ideas, and my English writing skills (English is my second language).
When we were 18, she got pregnant and married. I was her maid of honor, and I watched her family grow, including her beautiful son. Unfortunately, we grew apart; we never fought, life just took us on different paths.
A week before starting this Tumblr, the universe decided that it was time for her and her son to depart, both still full of health and youth. They became two beautiful and shiny stars in the skies.
So I quietly started writing fanfics again to cope with my grieving, to remember her friendship. I started writing for her, wishing she was able to read one more story before she passed away.
I am truly thankful for all your feedback. I am pretty sure she would be proud and happy with all your comments.
Yes, sometimes pain comes unexpectedly. But sometimes joy does too. When you let things flow and learn to release control, you find everything falling exactly where it’s supposed to.
Mutuals who recommend my blog, who list my blog among your favorites, who have all the nice things to say about me as a blogger, I love you and appreciate you all so very much! 💓
