Actors.

Some people think that actors are overrated. I used to agree with them because I always thought that being a part of that industry didn't really affect the world in such a way that scientists, engineers, or architects did. Now I know that I was wrong, and I will be the first one to admit that. 

Actors are most definitely not overrated. Think about it this way, actors offer an escape. This world we live in is now so hectic, so busy, and so messy. When you are watching a film, or a show, don't you forget about all the nonsense, and just drown in a whole new world? Yes, you do. Actors give us something that we will never find if not for them. We may think that their work is all about the glitz and the glamor, but it's not. Their work is about mastering an art. It's about an art that translates into a version of reality. We get lost in their world. In the world that they created: shifts of expressions, changes of the mood, tears streaming down faces, laughter surrounding the room, and if they are masters, cheeks blushing on command.

Actors save us from reality. We owe them a lot. Maybe, just maybe, they are the sole reasons as to why not everyone has gone completely insane. 

Want.

Have you ever wanted something so bad that all you ever do is think of ways how to get what you want, or imagine scenarios that occur when what you want finally happens? You're probably going to say yes because this happens to everyone. But have you ever wondered how you could have possibly wanted something so bad at one point in your life, and not want it anymore now?

Love and loss, desire and regret, attention and apathy. All these feelings contradict each other, yet they coexist. As with passions, and drives, and determination, there comes regrets, and doubts, and questions. These feelings can surface at exactly the same moment, or light years apart. We are in control of so many things, but when it comes to feelings like these, control seeps through our finger tips. 

Embrace this freedom, crave for the changes, dance with surprises, and don't ever let the need for control to govern your actions. Sometimes, only sometimes, all the universe wants from us is for us to hand over our cares, and to just live.

Intricate Lines.

There are times when I get disappointed; I stumble upon an unsuspecting rock, or I miss a step in the staircase. It gets me off-balance, but I try to shake it off. Irritated at what happened, another mishap occurs. It's a system, and it's all intertwined. Moments like these require pauses and stops. To stop and to look at things from an outsider's point of view. Take a while to take a breath, there's no need to rush. There's beauty in every breakdown.
