The Beauty of Repetition
By: clairestrdy_
The ocean is catastrophic yet so majestic. Every night, it retreats, preparing its waves for the unfamiliar tomorrow.
The calm retreat of the sea at night adds to its allure, as it softly pulls back its waves, creating a peaceful and fascinating ambiance.
The water gives a quiet sigh and retreats as dusk embraces its restless waves.
The ocean, like a weary lover, surrenders its tumultuous spirit to the silence of the night, when darkness and serenity coexist.
If the ocean can regulate its chaotic waves and start over, then so can I. Though I may not have the same majesty as the ocean, I will strive to match it.
I, too, can be violently beautiful.
Here's food for thought... Do you ever wonder if your age is merely a number or if it holds a deeper significance?
Sometimes in my alone time, I wonder whether I am truly 24 years old or if I am 19, but wiser?
Just as the ocean repeats its majestic waves, I find myself reliving the days of being 19 with each passing year. I wonder whether I am truly suited for my current age or if my mind remains anchored in the state of a 19-year-old.
"Wisdom doesn't come with age," as the saying goes, and I agree.
Drawing inspiration from the ocean's timeless dignity, I believe we have the power to choose the age we wish to embody each year. You can think of birthdays as…multiple-choice exams, presenting us with an opportunity to grow and offer ourselves the progress we deserve. If you think you still want to continue being 19, you decide how long you want to stay at that age. Why not spend another 19 years being 19? What is there to lose, right?
Our journey of self-discovery is not bound by the constraints of time. You alone determine the degree of your "age" (“age” referring to your level of progress) on your next birthday.
It's interesting how some people associate age with success and knowledge when, in fact, you have the power to decide how old you want to be, and that, alone, is a success.
So, how old will I be today? This shall be the question I ask myself each morning every time I wake up.
But be warned; let us remember that our perceptions and beliefs have the ability to shape our reality. We must be mindful of what we manifest and believe, for a delicate boundary exists between reality and our manifestations. What we create and imprint in our imagination can become our reality.
As I sign off, I embrace the spirit of Geisha, forever 19 years old, mirroring the ocean's eternal resilience and the continuous journey of self-discovery it represents.
Will I turn 20 tomorrow? Until next time!
