Magic is not a fairy tale concept

Magic was spawned out of fairy tales but trust me when I say this- Magic is very, very much a part of this reality that we live in. I feel it. Not everyday. I wish I did. But when I do, life couldn't be better. I want time to freeze so I could continue feeling this way for the rest of my life. Everything around you has a story to tell and you just somehow have all the time in the world to listen to it.

Imagine this.
Life in slow motion. You walking on an empty road. Leaves swaying to the winds. The sweet, gentle sound of the breeze. The scent in the wind. The sun rays that shine on your face and make it sparkle. Make you sparkle. The greenery that surrounds you and tells you stories you have never heard before. Even the wind turning your hair into a chaos doesn't irk you one bit. You enjoy it. Almost as if the wind is playing your hair. It is the same 'ol but something is different. You don't know if its you or if its the world around you but something is different. This different doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, you don't feel like a stranger.You welcome it. With a smile on your face!

I felt this way today. I wasn't in the countryside of some exotic land abroad with sunflowers around me. I was very much here. Living in the same place that I was yesterday and I will tomorrow. Something changed. I don't know what. Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't. I will let that be a mystery. I like mysteries. They make life appear larger than life.

Have you ever felt this way?

Well, if you haven't. You better start looking for it! And when you do, trust me you will understand what I mean when I say the word magic.!

Lets call it the eatpraylove effect

So I am writing. After a pretty long time.

I had to capture what I am feeling right now. It was necessary. When you see the light. You gotta capture it. Doesnt matter if you keep it stays for ever or not.Whether you feel the same way ever again or not. But you gotta archive it. It is necessary.

I could say that I have just come back to type this post after travelling three countries.
Italy. India. Indonesia.
I happen to be living in one of them.Lucky me? I wonder.

I am feeling different right now. I always do when I just lose myself to something.It happened today again after a very long time. I am happy it came after a long time because I needed to miss this feeling. Just to know how it feels like to be without it. I needed to experience that as well.

I am sure tomorrow when I wake up and live another day something else will happen and I will feel another different emotion and this one will be gone. Maybe, I will be happy. Maybe, I will be moody. But I will be something and that is what matters.

Maybe I sound a little crazy right now because I feel I am  but its all good. Right?

So as the soundtracks of Eat Pray Love play in the background it makes me think and wonder what sort of background music would have played in my head while I had read the book if I had read it before watching the movie.Hmm
