Until You Come

I promised myself today,

That I won't think of you again,

I finally found my own way,

A path to numb the pain,

You have haunted me too long,

I just finally grew a spine,

I think I will manage somehow,

Without you, I will be fine,

These are the last words I write,

Before I start up the flame,

I will burn all that I have written,

And you'll be the one to blame,

I will sleep like a baby tonight,

Free of guilt, sorrow and pain,

Whoever meets me tomorrow,

Will think I'm completely sane,

Who am I even kidding though,

I'll keep thinking about you some,

About you and our life together,

Until the day you finally come.

I need your help (not monetarily)

Assalamualaikum Everyone,

Hope you are doing okay.

I have been writing a book for the last month or so, since I got my Nana's typewriter (No, I am not that much of a masochist to write a book on the typewriter. It is hard). And I now have around 67000 words and 22 chapters written. I now only have 2 more chapters and an epilogue left.

In terms of Genre, it might be classified as "Science Fiction", but I don't really think that science fiction is the heart of the book, sure, it's a major plot device, but the story is more human. It's more about the character and how he reacts and his emotions.

Allmost throughout the writing of the book, I have been helped by one member of this sub in proofreading and keeping me writing, and now I think I need opinions of more people to help me in finalizing the book.

So, here's what I need. If you are a reader who has been reading for any amount of time, or even starting, I would love to have the opinion of both groups. Even if it is your first book, I would love to hear your opinion.

I can give you a drive link for the book if you are interested. Let me know if you are and before anyone else makes the joke, I will make it myself, HMU M4A Literary Edition.

And before I go, I have to warn you, the book might not have a happy ending and it is sad. Perhaps very sad. And it still has a few chapters left.

Thank you,

The Sub's Resident Writer.

TLDR; I wrote a book, and I need readers to proofread and critique. (HMU M4A: Literary Edition)

"In the end, the world didn't really need a super man, just a brave one." (Superman: The Animated Series)

Came across this scene again and it really hit me this time. When we were children we might have seen this scene and thought nothing of it. But I think this is more relevant now than it ever has been.

I am assuming that you guys have already seen this scene. So the character that dies here, he has always been vocal against Superman, he keeps telling people that he is good for nothing and that he is the problem.

But when the going gets tough, he is the one who stood up, not because he suddenly changed his opinion, but he wanted to do the right thing. Whatever he thought was the right thing. He stood by what he believed.

And so I think that even if we don't like a person or what he is saying, we owe it to us to stand up for ourselves.

In the end, the world doesn't need a Superman, just a brave one.

If you could go back and fix that one mistake that you made that somehow derailed your life. Would you do it? Why?

Asked the same question in AskReddit. Want to see how opinions differ by demographic.

Ek Taaza Hikaayat hai

Roman Urdu for all those who can't read (You know who you are 😐):

Ek Taaza Hikayat hai, sun lo tou inayat hai

Ek Shaks ko dekha tha, taaron ki tarah ham ne

Ek Shaks ko chaha tha, apnon ki tarah ham ne

Ek Shaks ko samjha tha, phulon ki tarah ham ne

Kuch tum se milta tha, baaton main shabahat main

Haan tumhi sa lagta tha, Shokhi main shararat main

Dikhta bhi tumhi sa tha, dastoor e Muhabbat main

Woh shaks hamain aik din, Ghairon ki tarah bhula

Taaron ki tarah dooba, Phulon ki tarah toota,

Phir haath na aaya woh, ham ne tou bohat dhoonda,

Tum kis liye chaunke ho? Kab zikr tumhara hai?

Kab tum se takaza hai? Kab tum se shikayat hai?

Ek Taaza Hikayat hai, Sun lo tou inayat hai

All these Sights, Sounds and Feelings

Look,

The sky's mighty blue,

The peaks breaking clouds,

Spring roses bud anew,

A flock flying over,

The glistening morning dew,

The curves of the river,

A streaming canoe,

Listen,

The ocean's ebb and flow,

The unrelenting clock,

The cawing of the crow,

The morning call for prayer,

Avalanche of gathered snow,

The hawker and his papers,

Distant horns that blow,

Feel,

The cold morning breeze,

A single drop of rain,

Wet grass up to knees,

The touch from a feather,

A letter and its crease,

Letting go of your burdens,

The old familiar ease,

All these sights, sounds and feelings,

I don't care what they might be,

They disappear in an instant,

When it's only you and me.
