Click vs Cluck

Every Monday morning, I open my Blogger account and start typing like crazy only to delete those posts. Today is like no other. I had very good points in my head but all of them fell prey to the blogging evil that is called "backspace."


For a girl like me whose thoughts seem to appear and disappear at lightning speed, it is hard to just write about one topic after a weekend of reflecting, partying and reading. It seems that at every minute, something starts clicking in my mind and things start making more sense. Mind you, it was not like this before. Instead of clicking moments, I just had a lot of clucking moments i.e. moments when you feel like a headless chicken waiting to be processed into fastfood oblivion.


I am flooded by clicking moments because I am ready to understand them. So many times, when people come to me for advice, I just tell them that: (a) I understand them and (b) Everything has an end. We all struggle in our different ways because we were all born different. The common thread that exists among all of us is that we think and we feel. Oftentimes, the source of so much personal conflict is the struggle between the mind and the heart. I have come to understand, however, that there is really no existing conflict between the two. It just takes time for them to meet and merge into one beautiful dance number but when they do -- Ah, the beauty. :)


Currently, my mind and my heart are engaged in this dance number. I am sure though that one day, the music will stop. Unlike before, I am confident that even though they have ceased to dance together, they are just taking a pause to cheoreograph an even more breathtaking number. When that happens, I would definitely want to be in the front row. :)

    What an inspirational post. I liked what you said about giving advises - and that you can only sure people about these 2 things.
    I have never thought about this like you do but it makes a lot of sense.
    When I give advises they come from me and from my experience - but the person I'm advising is different.

    I hope you are doing great in Finland and that we will meet soon :)
    All the best!
