"How to not kill someone?"
• STOP TOXIC POSITIVITY.
The notion might be unrealistic and over estimating the idea of excess positivity. The truth is, it does not just lay in the platform of being a metaphor. False positivity conceals. It is avoidance, an abandonment. It drains us out causing us to forcefully dwell into a life where we are all facing upwards even submerged in mud. Simply to say, it brings the fear to feel. It fosters the comfort within sugarcoating, bright but dull solutions and the continuous escape from what we are supposed to be fixing. Yes, it kills. It empties the quality of life that we should be having.
Who said being sad is bad? Why does it when we cry, we are all told to hush and cheer up? Isn't darkness a place where we find rest?
It is never wrong to embrace the dim lights of our lives. We are all humans and has the tendency to break and let our facades down. In these moments, we are always being told to look for the beauty and light of every moments that it already led us into avoiding to feel anything except joy. The thing is, we are forcing ourselves to be better when we can't. We push ourselves to be the best version of what we want to be when we are all in pieces.
The point is, at some point of our lives, we must let ourselves be vulnerable. It is fine to embrace pain, to admit failure, and to feel every little feeling that human were supposed to have. Positivity alone is false optimistism. It does not and will never lead us into a life full of lessons, experience, and drive for success. It is important to grasp the idea in avoiding this kind of toxicity. If you are not experiencing this kind of struggle then learn how to be sensitive with other people's challenges. Why not instead of forcing them stop weeping, be a shoulder to cry on? Make them feel that you are aware, and do empathize. Comfort without words are still comfort. We don't have to blabber about the light, bright, rainbows and unicorns. It's just have to be us, genuinely listening without pushing them to became immediately better.
Why not be someone who does not invalidate negative feelings?
We must learn to consider all feelings as something that is a part of us. Let us not kill. Instead, promote the quality of life that everybody deserves. A life that everyone are not terrified to express. Negativity is naturally a part of our puzzles. It builds, fosters, and produces a better version of who we are as we learn lessons from it. It is a learning process. We are all entitled to a right to be us, whether it is in a dark or bright side.
***All feelings are valid, so are you.***

The complexity of ***existence and the universe*** itself is just something that the human mind cannot comprehend in a single snap.
Theories have presented possibilities, but not certainty.
This very moment and all of the past being a sinulation is what Stephen Hawking had thought in his grand design.
You leave an apple on top of a table in a room; assuming the apple stays until you come back. But what if the apple had floated into the air, run a lap around the NASA Space Station and came back the exact moment before you re-enter the room?
He thinks that something is something because the mind thinks so.
He reviewed what the philosophers before had proposed about the body and the mind being different things.
***You may imagine having no body, but you cannotbthink that you dont have a mind.***
The brain is so powerful that it made you believe you are touching things; you are seeing things or whatever your senses perceive.
A fish believes that everything is zoomed because of how its eyes sees.
He believes that the simulation is so real that it made you believe it's real.
Just how abstract is that?
POETRY
Warm and Aged
the withered glee in her eyes
**flooded the crimson spotted cheeks**
in her lonesome quest she was drowned
the weakness of her that she can't save
**the hand that used to have the touch**
**of the bright sun and it's warmth**
is now dull and calloused
of many trippings on the jagged ground
what she did was knelt and begged
for a good worth of love
**but perilous nights of abyss**
**and epochal nightmares**
**is what she fell into**
instead of the arms of a lovely grey haired gentleman
both of them warm and aged on her bed.

I See The Light
The Singing Authors (Finals) Entry
*I see the light by Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi (Tangled Official Soundtrack)*
Up 'til now, I still can't believe that I have to submit another entry for @Jdine s competition. But then here I am because of the people who supported my entry ♥ I am very much eternally grateful for your support guys!
For the finals, I decided to sing I see the light from tangled. This is for the reason that I really reaaally love Rapunzel. And Disney's animation made me fall in love with her story more. Partly because I've always wanted magic hair like her (lol) and that Mandy Moore being the voice actress of Rapunzel made it a thousand times better.
I mean— when I watched Tangled, I felt like Mandy Moore wasn't giving Rapunzel her voice because it was more like Rapunzel was giving Mandy Moore her voice (if that makes sense) which is just awesome because it means Mandy is a very EFFECTIVE voice actress.
Her voice is almost surreal. And I love her for it.
I know— I'm once again singing another song of Mandy. Well, you can't blame me hahaha I'm really into her voice.
I remember replying to @Jdine that I will not be using effects on my entry anymore but there were last minute change of minds.
To elaborate, I recorded this song right after I knew I got to the finals. Then I was pretty convinced this was gonna be my entry, and then “me thinking about doing an acapella again” happened. When I was about to record it the next day, I catched a cold and got really congested (huhu) so when I started recording, I sounded really unpleasant. So yeah, I didn't really have a choice anymore but submit this one.
Anyways, what I really love about this song (besides that Mandy sang this) is that it speaks about the exact moment your dreams come true.
***“And at last I see the light”***
Rapunzel really went to a whole lot of struggles before she escaped the tower to see the lanterns on her birthday. She's waited many years indoors holding onto a lie that mother Gothel told her.
It really reminds of my past struggles to reach the top. There were moment I always thought that I would never make it, until the moment comes and I even surprise myself of what I am able to do.
The point is, if you really set your mind to it, you can make magic. You can make the impossible happen. The key is just having faith and giving your all to everything.
Here it is (It's a bit better if you watch it with earphones guys hehe)

*[ Thank you very much for giving me a chance to even submit an entry for this finals. Even if I don't win, I still feel like a winner for the reason that I've finally concurred my fear of singing to an audience! ( although this is still virtual but the thought of other people hearing me sing always terrified me ) It is indeed another achievement of mine that I'm so proud of! hehe. I hope I can get to achieve more in the future as well as you guys! I wish you success and the happiness you want because you deserve it— no, you guys actually deserve magic! Thank you again, beautiful beings! ♥ ]*

Anyways, I love you guys. Thank you beautiful humans!
Poetry II
The Ending We Never Had
*T'was him with his eyes full of glee*
***"You awoke, the reason I live,"***
*held my face with warmth and mind*
***"I've searched the moon and stars for power and strength,***
*But there was nothing like hthe ones you give me each day."*
***"For a moment I thought you've left. Leaving me in a world where there was no lovely Juliet."***
*I listened to his lament, tears flooding my eyes.*
*I was just as happy as the flowers seeing sunrise.*
*We were together once again.*
*Rejoice! no magic can end our time.*
*We shall haveth the joy, the sun and the flowers.*
*Up to the end of time, Romeo is the only one that my eyes will see*
*Not until these same eyes*
*see a spear through my lover's heart*
*I froze and watched*
*I just sat and watched*
*I watched and watched*
*As life was drained out of him*
*I coould not move a flesh*
*And there was nothing*
*I lost my own equilibrium*
*And held him with force*
*Until the spear has gone through me too.*
( Hi readcash friends! I know pretty much everybody knows how Romeo and Juliet ended up. And some people wanted a happy ending. On my title maybe you have thought I was giving them the rest of their life that they deserved, But what is done is already done. We can't change the fact that we can't maneuver some variables in our life, and definitely other's life. So if Romeo and Juliet was gone. Let's just let them be hahaha. I'm just kidding.
I am just as devastated as you are about the life decisions of those two. Anyways, thank you for reading until this far! I really appreciate your support from the bottom of my hypothalamus. I have wrote a few poems more and I will be posting them as soon as you think hahaha. Thank you, keep safe and lovelots! <3 )

Only Hope (Singing Authors Week 2 Entry)
Hi! so this is my entry for this week's Singing Authors.
Singing is just my hobby, it's not that I do it on a daily basis or for a living. I don't actually think that I have the skills to meet the industry's standards that's why I don't really like to sing in front of an audience.
But I have friends who really make me feel like I do deserve to be heard. Even the tenacity of @bbangg made me do this hahahaha. I wasn't really considering on joining but then I saw her comments on motivating me to join so I said that I might just as well join.
So here it is. I chose this song because I was really amazed when I watched A Walk To Remember and see Jamie Sullivan ( Mandy Moore) sing this song and Landon Carter ( Shane West) was just as amazed as I am. She looked so ethereal and angelic. And all that mesmerizing moment of Jamie and Landon was sealed with a kiss!
If you haven't watched this movie, you're probably missing half of your life! (Lol I'm exaggerating don't mind it) Specially if romantic movies are your cup of tea.
Frem then on I fell inlove to this song. And I hope you do as well.
Please vote for this entry on this upcoming voting day.👉👈. I would very much appreciate it.
Here it goes

Entertainment Review 1: Siren
**Siren (2018)**
There are those mermaid myths we believed as a child. Those with colorful mermaid tails, and magical singing voices, and those with princes waiting for them to appear at the shore; All of these stereotypical ideas of mermaids were all put to reality by this TV series. **But not in the same concept.**
This one is not all about a beautiful mermaid who swims ashore and gambles with an evil witch for a pair of legs inm exchange of her voice.
**Ben** and his girlfriend **Maddie** are one of those people who have a big heart for the ocean and its life. Their already quite complicated life because of Ben's family gets even more puzzle like when Ben meets a mysterious naive girl with enchanting and lulling voice; in which when Ben first heard it, his response was like almost the same reaction I got when I first heard her sing.
Yes, and there she is. **Rin** (you would eventually find out her name's origin in the series)
What I like about this show is that it gives emphasis to the portion of people who actually is pure and humane, not only to humans but to various species that there is.
It gives us thoughts that maybe, the world is not entirely hopelessly cruel at all and that there are still folks who are willing to protect them with their life.
Anyways, I definitely recommend this TV series. I would give it an 8/10.
I know some of us get through this quarantine by watching netflix series and movies. Which ones are your favorite? let me know in the comments!
