So.

A pendulum is the best metaphor to life.

The way it swings from one side to the other; the way it slows down to a stop, only to regain momentum at either both a push or pull; the way it hangs so lightly under the quiet tension of the string, but weighs so much more to be carried alone.

The pendulum, much like life, proves its generous share of ups and downs. It demonstrates the highs and lows, the almost-theres, the in-betweens, the half-baked, the 360 degree turns, and the blatant fact of just how important gravity is to us.

It's always a lot easier to indulge in the latter to the good. Hereby, perhaps sometimes I tend to take the better for granted.

But no, not today.

Because today is different. Today, I felt - feel - different.

Days like these are rare to come by. So uncommon has it become for me to feel so comfortable, so at peace and acceptance in the likeliness of my own skin. In fact, it seems almost rather.. alien to me.

But I suppose my pessimism deserves this - what I would call - slap in the face every once in a while. It's nice to know that there are silver linings over dark clouds. 

Or say, in better words: it's nice to know there is someone out there who genuinely cares for you.

I don't see it often, so how more would I believe in such?

But today is special. 

But then again, no. 

..

Maybe it's just you. Maybe you're the special one.
