The Anti-Relationship

Anti-relationship

(n.) – A relationship where two people are together, but is not acknowledged explicitly

 

More and more people today are engaging in the anti-relationship. Staying clear of mundane relationship tropes, these non-couples, harbouring intense feelings for one another, are quite level-headed about their priorities, and are in no rush to be ‘together’. Seeing the world for what it is, these individualistically-oriented people show strength and resilience, even more so, when it comes to matters of the heart.

A Spiritual Guide to Existentialism

You are merely a manifestation of life, of energy, of spirit. That’s all you really are.

You got three choices –

  1. You can put an end to your manifestation.
  2. You can complain and grouch about the existence of your manifestation until it gets over.
  3. You can do what your manifestation’s mind feels strongly about, and not engage with the shallow ego.

The world exists so that it can watch you giving yourself meaning and purpose. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Don’t ever take yourself too seriously or worry about every single thing you’ve done. Your decisions are more or less left to chance, and what you’ve made your mind up for, at the moment, is what you’ve made your mind up for. They weren’t anymore in your control than they had been.

We are but, merely, creatures of existence, with no sole or bigger purpose. We are all too small in the world. We can only make use of what existence has provided us with, and seek divinity and blessing in that. That is the ulterior purpose of life.

Vital Signs

Vitality. Consciousness. Awareness. Words which have been subconsciously sticking around my mind for a while. Are we not fully aware the most portion of our life? Do we somehow dredge through life day after day, caught in a middling sense of acceptance? Do we just take for granted our being? Are we just caught up in existentialism throughout out lives? Are we not giving ourselves wholly to whatever role we are put in? As I continue to contemplate on all these and everything more, I begin to realize the unpretentious truth that exists in these wonderings. I’m curious to know just how much ‘aliveness’ I can put into my self and into my being, without reverting to the other side. As is the case, my curiosity might just get the better of me.
