Beauty and the BEAST(dead in memories)

Browsing through Facebook, you just get the feeling that some people are just blessed with everything, no? Looks, brains and the perfect body cut. Makes you wonder if God loves them more….

Put the credit on their parents' genes and fore-planning? Or thank mine for giving me the randomness of an uncharted map, whereby everyday and every step is yet another adventure in its own right?

The experience of just looking at the pictures of the ones I once crossed path with simply leaves me with a concoction of feelings at times. This emotional cocktail could very well contain amazement, envy and a tinge of gladness at different times.

Amazement is justified by the very wonders being caught on film, or digital encoding in today’s terms. All the corners of the world are they in, but seldom do they stand near to you. In simple lay-men’s term, the very variety of each and every one’s experience never fails to amuse.

Envy for they are treading on grounds only my wildest dreams can bring me to. Names of institutions heard of a long time ago, but never too vivid an image for the mist of reality simply blurs my vision.

Gladness for the smile on their faces shows utmost happiness, even a certain nirvana. How do you know you’re in love? Compare the photos you take with your friends with the ones you take with THE special one, and hey presto!

Slipping out of the scene and attempting to melt into the shadows is merely a release of a wild bird from its cage – it was never meant to be. At least now, the smile radiates warmth and sheer pleasure.

Hey YOU,

You look gorgeous! You know that right?
