Unconventional Prompts

Disappear

Life is full of unexpectancy. Being apprised that you’re eventually going to meet people and experiences, their advent influences you in some way. You may spend your whole life contemplating their significance or purpose in your life. But you will want to rapture every moment of that phase. It somehow becomes a part of you; you’re dependent on it. You share who you are underneath that skin of yours. But when something is so essential and valuable to you, everyday you are in this angst of losing it.

So when this thing (can be a person or even an experience) disappears abruptly, most people can’t handle its consequences. Well it may sound harsh but the truth is you will only go through these circumstances if you do the things mentioned in the first paragraph. Imagine practically losing a part of your body; it will undoubtedly hurt, will it not? It may even cause death if you have granted it an prodigious part of your body. Well here many of you might think that I’m mostly referring to a loved one. But this instance comprises of links to art like painting, dancing, etc. Also here I’m alluding about drugs. When you lose this thing, you start making no sense. Things can worsen but it’s better not to mention them all as they would be intriguing for gullible readers.

But I can propose a few ways to ease the anguish. Well you can try being a private person. Make yourself witty enough to not let your surrounding affect you unless you know it is good and not temporary. Never sell out things about yourself. Be the only person who’s known the deepest layers within you. Don’t get too comfortable around people you’ve only known for some time. Following these few ideas can help you become less agitated when someone disappear from your life. But what will happen when you lose someone permanently? Then you should fairly wait for time to heal things up. And never lose hope of getting better and normal.

Now another question rises. What about the disappearance of art like the ones mentioned above? Ending of these can be due to loss of your own abilities. Well now here you can try a thing; try looking for new such things which fit into your capability. Try to find the same happiness in doing something new. It is better than being crestfallen. You can always start a new journey; it is all within your control. Just wait until you recognize it.

Abrupt

What if everything that is happening around, was bound to happen? Here I’m not only talking about two lovers destined to meet; here I’m essentially talking about the occurrence of the most minuscule events. An example for this would be your birth. I might sound lunatic and irrational but here I want you to ponder upon this on a large scale.

It is reasonable to think why weren’t you born during some 16th century historic era but instead you are here, reading this. It is even sane to think how did you cross a road, without a traffic signal unit and without being hit by a car. All these predetermined incidents happen and yet they come to us so abruptly. When you look at things around you through this perspective, you’ll probably be frightened😂. Every physics discovery, every invention was meant to happen. But all of it is so clichéd, that we use so many of these in our daily lives.

Gravity existed. Theory of General Relativity was already there. We just had to discover and fathom it. When these discoveries emerged, they were abrupt for the people. Now in the upcoming period, we can find a way to travel to parallel universes. It would be abrupt for us but let’s not forget that humans discovering it was destined. It was bound to happen. Even dogs or cats may do that and it shouldn’t surprise us at all. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Similarly none of the existing things in this universe is created. We’re just a step from finding it and it is to discover.

Now I cannot reach to a conventional conclusion about what I wrote. But one thing I will continue to claim is that every single thing happening, even right at this moment is predetermined. Therefore no matter how carefully you plan your next move, it was already planned.

Confess

One must deeply know, confessions are salient part of life. They either make you or break you. Inside. Why more on the inside? This is because most of us are well- adapted to hide our feelings and thoughts. And this may due to many reasons; perhaps the voices around overpower you, your mind, your soul, your whole self.

People say they do not care. They even refuse to talk about certain things. They may laugh off several things. But the truth is, these “things” have been consuming their entire body. Some may have it as a deep, cosmic part inside of themselves, some may even feel it on their skin, though reluctant about confessing it. Many move around with guilt of having such things as a part of their life. They are also afraid of people’s perspective towards them when they know about them. No matter how much courage they gather before confessing, they will always choke on the words they are willing to speak. They are so ashamed of their past (or even present) incidents, thoughts, that they can’t even present them as words.

Here I’m not only speaking of love confessions. To some people confessions are something, they will feel it throughout their body because even they can’t accept the things they did. And if there is no one to help, one may carry them along for a lifetime. Your dark thoughts and happenings will reserve bits of your body. Also the belief that no one is ever going to rescue you, entangles you more into the labyrinth.

Now this might have helped you to conceptualize the aftermath of not confessing things on the right time. Take your time, collect all your guts, and never lose faith in yourself. There is absolutely going to be someone who is going to relieve you from your condition; and this person doesn’t have to be someone else, it can also be you. Just never lose faith in yourself because if you do that, nobody can ever help you out. Keep looking for the light and you’ll find your way out.

underdog

Did anyone ever wonder, what is the greatest ability a person is contained with? Well, it is being able to perceive things on your own. Everyone’s initially an underdog; no one is born with brains, muscular and fit body, artistry, etc. It is when you realise that you like something and decide to go for it. I will like to share some of my such experiences.

Until I moved here  five years ago, I was a reserved person. I was a bookworm to be specific. I was bad at sports, painting and couldn’t speak or perform publicly with much confidence. It really used to hurt me for being unable to do these things. 

My sudden attraction towards sports was astonishing. I realised that you just need to push yourself to the limit and you can do anything. I didn’t give anything a quick start; I practiced and gradually got better at everything. I used to tremble in front of people when I had to perform. In 6th class, I met a teacher who played a huge role in my life by helping me enhance my speaking skills. I still quiver in front of a big crowd but I gained self confidence over these years. 

I started to trace pictures from my art book. Both my sister and mother were great at drawing due to which I always thought why couldn’t I be like them. After several years of practice, I discovered, I didn’t have to be like them. I could be “ME”, a different kind.

Therefore always remember, it is okay if you are not like the rest but this doest mean that you should stop improving. Your competition is with who you were yesterday, not with someone in competition with you.

neophyte

Not everyone is a neophyte to this game called LIFE. Everyone has their own fall which makes them stronger and wiser, but one should know how to embrace their hopeless times otherwise the outcome will not be beneficial. 

I’ve been hearing this since forever that one isn’t experienced until she/he is an adult or someone superior than everybody else. Well, this power is given by the society itself which can also potentially be withdrawn but, is never done because they afraid of the power they’ve them self given a person which sounds totally moronic. And this becomes a reason why young politicians in many countries are not given prominence because they are assumed to be naive.

That was just an exemplar. Now let’s talk about the application of the same in other aspects of life. 

Children growing up in a stressful environment in fact develop this habit from a young age itself. It make them mentally unstable and their work especially their academics are disturbed a lot. But this doesn’t mean they are weak. Once they khow to how handle their problems, they only become stronger than before. 

Many children sound mature in terms of the words they use; this can be because they know how it feels like to be abused by someone close. Many children know how to do their own work because they never had someone to do it for them. Many children don’t fear losing friend because something more devastating has already happened to them, so they know how to stand alone strong.

So people aren’t supposed to be judged on the basis of their age or appearance because you never know what they have been through.

Proxy
As a highschool kid, my interest in English was exceptional, which also inspired me to create an alter ego. 

I accomplished this second personality of mine by questioning myself during my leisure. This alter ego had a detective genesis; something absolutely contrasting with my original personality. Being an introvert has its own benefits. It gives you more time for yourself. I did the same which earned me a lot of time to develop this character. 

Firstly, I would build a situation and then think how would I react. Then create a characteristic totally different from it for the alter ego. This is how I executed my whole new other self. Sometimes I wonder, irrespective to the fact that I’m reserved in real life, I get a change to be really expressive in my self created world.

Orange

Spending time on a hospital bed is a very unpleasant experience. Moreover at least 30 people met me during these days in the hospital. They think if I engross myself in the talks, I’d get better soon. But what was really improving my health were those lovely orange flowers he brought me everyday.

My friends and other classmates came to meet me on the behalf of my class. They got me a beautiful greeting card with everyone’s wishes on it. And there was this guy, timidly holding some flowers in his hands. He surprisingly caught my attention and I kind of liked him. Since then everyday they would come to check out on me and him, carrying those flowers for me. 

What I liked more than anything was that he didn’t even know how great he made me feel. These experiences matter in everyone’s life and they are cherished forever. 

Surreal
We live in a world which consists of very unusual and bizarre things. But there is a thing which has caught all of my attention. And this thing is the possibility of existence of worlds similar to ours. Yes, I’m talking about parallel dimensions. It sounds creepy as well but it can probably concern your curiosity.

The multiverse is a hypothesis which tells that there’s likelihood of continuance of several other universes. Theories proposing this topic have been explained, though the gateway to these parallel universes is yet undiscovered.

Scientists have thoroughly researched these theories and they have related these multiverses with other subjects like quantum physics, the black hole, spacetime continuum, astronomy, etcetera. It is closely related to quantum mechanics where it is also known by another term namely many worlds interpretation.

There is a thing I fear is, what if these parallel realities are home to uncanny creatures? What if this becomes a cause for Earth’s sixth mass extinction?

This is why science is unpredictable. While it is developing for our well-being, it’s setting up a trap for the human existence. People think if they live in a high tech world, it will lead to their growth and make them the conquerors of this world. But I think this development is only going to lead us to a dumb dead end of no return, making us the slaves of  another substantial creature belonging from another universe.

Identity

Today highschool kids believe in creating an identity through social media. Or it is even determined by the number of parties they attend. Then they call themselves eligibly FAMOUS. But truly I have got no business with this.  

I designed my identity being an antisocial pessimist. I have only attended parties since my friends compelled me to. I am also known for the collection of songs I have; another reason for summoning me at a party. 

But science has done me good by already researching that originally people exist with positive and negative nature. So consequently it’s not a problem when someone questions about my negative nature; I have good comeback saying I exist as a pessimist since the start. But my negativity is obliviously aesthetic and that’s how, not trying to be different, I was liked by people, though I only liked a handful back. An eccentric identity.

Cacophony

Lying on the roof under a canopy of thousands of luminous stars, a thought suddenly materialized in my mind- Was I ever so naive to believe that home was a place full of my safest sounds?

The cacophony surrounding me had already set the chaos inside me on fire, when I couldn’t even comprehend its cause.

I was never able to socialize like people of my age. All the insecurities followed me through every phase of my life. A huge part of my brain was reserved by those inhibitions. My brain was like a black hole; it was consuming me, everyday.

Astonishingly, these circumstances have also done good to me. I realised from a young age that there’s always more than what meets the eye. So I’ve always been someone who looks too deep into something or someone.

What really comforts my soul is that I already know everything has two perspectives. Knowing this, I always look for the good one when bad things happen. All the hurt that this cacophonic house has caused me, it only made me wiser.
