Little things that make you a Writer

This post is for all the writers out there. This is a little piece of me that I'm sure sometime or the other you have found in yourself. No matter where you are, whether you are lost or not in life, whether you're still writing or not, whether you gain appreciation or not, whether you show your pieces to others or not, whether you overcame your blocks or not... this is for you, my dear writer.

1. You look up and you see more than what is:

It's hard to explain, but you know exactly what I mean. You look at a fallen leaf and start thinking about fall and all your memories attached to it and then in no time have you formed prose or a poem in your mind to describe exactly what you feel.

2. It's easy to get stuck:

Sometimes, you just can't let go of that view of the ocean, or that place you went to 5 years ago with your friends, or that dish you tasted the last time you visited your favourite restaurant and so on. You get stuck of the idea of something, or its feel or the way it made you think. You remember songs from when they played for the first time or people, associating them to thoughts, rather than places. 
It is so easy to get stuck, to keep obsessing... not because of how fascinating a person, a place or a thing was... but simply because of how it made you feel.

3. To you, each person is a story:

Humans are fascinating little creatures, aren't they? They think they feel, they speak and they learn. Each individual is special because of her/his story. Nobody comes or goes without a tale to tell or a piece of wisdom to share. Each new person is a story, a new puzzle to solve, a new book left to read, a new chapter in your tale.

4. Your soul just can't settle:

Too much time in a place makes you restless. You want to see more, learn more, travel more, meet more people, eat different food, live more, in the little time that you know is simply too less to do all the things you want to do and live all the lives you've already imagined yourself living.

5. Your mind wanders...too often:

You slip in and out of conversations, the space around you is more virtual than real, you drain out the boring and add your own imagination to people, things and places. You have the ability to create, edit and manipulate in your mind. Your mind, my dear...is a world...no, a universe in itself that is ever expanding. You couldn't possibly restrain it even if you want to. 
People snap you back to the real time but then, it's just so hard to stick to reality, when your imagination can fly and run and modify time and save the world and so much more.

Flipping Off Your "Humanity Switch"

-
Image
You may have come across people in daily life who have the ability to completely turn off their emotions for a while. People belonging to the "Vampire Diaries" fandom, know exactly what I'm talking about. What is this "Humanity Switch"? Basically, according to Damon, you can flip your humanity on and off as and when you wish to.  Switching it off lets a vampire detach his/her actions from any emotional judgment or guilt. This is the excuse these creatures have for killing ruthlessly and actually consuming a nutritious diet of blood, blood and just blood. Can we do it? Depends... Upon whether you really want to, whether you have the will to flip it off or whether the situation demands such a thing of you. You may have seen... Some people are able to keep a check on their emotions for a certain time and then simply break down once they are ready to.  Of course, this isn't a healthy way of dealing with problems...but then

How Does a Writer's Block feel?

-

Nobody really realizes, until it hits them and there's nowhere left to run. It starts with the boredom. When the thought of compiling another set of words into a paragraph or prose section that makes sense begins to seem like a huge task, or when you simply cannot make sense of all the words that are flashing through your head. So fast, that you feel like reaching out and grabbing one, just so you could read it and take comfort in the feeling that you know it, but the horror strikes when you realize you don't really want to. For the longest time, I tried to deny the feeling of being bored and burdened by the thought of my own words. I'd sit to write because a thought crossed my mind and I knew if I wrote it down, I'd get to keep it, save it even. But the words just wouldn't come. Typing started to seem futile. So I tried to jot down everything on pen and paper. It would seem that the block doesn't discriminate between scented parchments combined w

You.

I wanted to walk to the moon and back For you I wanted to hold your hand in my little palm And walk across the shore in some foreign land I wanted to take a ferry to some distant place with distant dreams and you beside me I wanted to carry your hopes and sorrows and dreams and share them with the world, so they could see You. I wanted to tell you...so many things So many stories, so many tales Of ice cream cones and starry nights and winter breezes and olden sights I wanted to feel you, touch you See you grow. I wanted to support you when you needed me and watch you unfold. I want... I wanted... you. I wanted to go to that movie you said you'd hated but I loved so much I wanted to catch that bus you promised we would but never got on. I wanted to roam around the streets aimlessly and hear you complain again I wanted to have those fights over a call that I thought were necessary and you knew were lame. We've made history together and I want
