HAYSTACK!!

In the heart of brilliance, a diamond's journey begins, rough yet full of untold promises.

"I got one thing right in my whole life: finding myself within the haystack." ~ Myself in 2019

As a young growing lady, overcoming puddles day by day just to prove my worth made me believe that I know myself, I know who I am.

But did I find myself? Or is it just an illusion of my thoughts?

Well, a long time ago, when I was in the middle of nowhere, someone left me alone with just a toothpick, and to my extreme surprise, this toothpick had a name: 'QUESTION'!!

in other words, In life's challenging moments, we often find ourselves holding on to something that seems small yet crucial. For me, that something was a toothpick—symbolizing the 'question' I kept asking myself.

And I was like, "Wait! WHAT!! " This is absurd to the point that I question its possibility.

At times, we all question ourselves, especially when we feel isolated or uncertain about life.

From "Why am I still alive" to "Should I just kill that person...?",

this toothpick voice everything within.

But the toothpick is, why do we even have it stick with us like a leach??

Well, quite a generous statement, the answer is simple...

This toothpick can pick the lock of the beauty of life.

So keep this toothpick with you; it is a diamond in a haystack.

I, Floe, a busy engineering student with a creative mind, tend to waste a good amount of time in thinking, precisely over-thinking.

I tend to overthink, creating more mental clutter than necessary. To curb this, I decided to channel my thoughts into words that might resonate with others. Isn't that thoughtful of me?

Though I may be young in terms of age, the experiences and challenges I've faced have made me feel much older.

I am eager to write about thoughts that hurdle us from day to day. In spite of sharing, I wish one can find what they are looking for through me or have a good laugh.

I aspire to be the free voice, a voice in a haystack of noise.

Embark on the journey of discovering someone, and perhaps along the way, you will discover yourself. Just like a diamond hidden in a haystack, the answers we seek are often there, waiting to be discovered. Sometimes, we just need to keep searching.
