We hold in them our trampled convictions, our fears, suppressed acts of valor, disappointments, enmity, anguish, secrets, things we wish we should have done, things we wish we shouldn’t have, regret.And continue piling them up with emotions, memories, conversations which did happen and conversations which didn’t, soured relationships and bitter people all of which we should have discarded, we keep it within until there is no space left, until the room is full, occupied after which we go on to lock it. Once in a while we happen to open the room and sight the dust accumulated all over, we relive each moment, each memory and each emotion again and soon fall upon the realization as to how deeply the room is in need of cleaning and so we clean it.We clean it so that we can fill it once more, hold it, bear it, relish it, heal from it and then finally let it go.","author":"Chirag Tulsiani","tags":["bear","conversation","conviction","disappointments","dust","fear","heal","heart","hold","let-go","memories","realization","room","storeroom","trampled","valor"],"id":12703,"author_id":"Chirag+Tulsiani"},{"text":"My Gullah grandfather is bringing a bag of dust to a vampire war.

The world crushes the dust under its feet, but the seeker after truth should so humble himself that even the dust could crush him.

And we've fallen like all others, from near and far, we've gathered together, but separated by time and space, keeping a part of that light that we've came with and spreading it in this dark world that we've chosen to live in, in order to shine some light and love around. Maybe we've chosen to believe one truth today, and find it to be false tomorrow. Maybe we're trying to not get attached to the idea that we now know it all. At night, we see the truth of where we've fallen from, gazing in that night sky full of distant stars, constellations, planets, the reflection of the sun on the moon, all with their own stories to tell. Sometimes we wonder why would we leave such a mysterious place, with an infinite amount of stories and wonders. Maybe it's because as stars we could've only seen each other's light from afar, but here we can listen more carefully to each other's story, embrace each other and kiss, discover more and more of what can be seen when infinite star dust potential is put into one body and given freedom to walk the Earth and wander, love and enjoy every moment until coming back. Maybe in the morning, we'll only see one star shining up there and forget the others. Maybe that is also how life and death is, and the beauty of the sunrise and sunset that come in between, our childhood years and old years, when we reflect on the stars that we once were and that we will once again be. Maybe, just maybe.","author":"Virgil Kalyana Mittata Iordache","tags":["attached","beauty","believe","body","childhood","constellations","danced","death","dust","earth","embrace","enjoy","fallen","falling","false","far","freedom","gathered","idea","infinite","kiss","know","life","light","looking","love","maybe","moment","moon","more","morning","mysterious","near","once","others","planets","potential","reflection","separated","shine","skyline","space","stars","stories","sun","sunrise","sunset","tell","time","together","truth","walk","wander","world","years"],"id":56337,"author_id":"Virgil+Kalyana+Mittata+Iordache"},{"text":"Two types of dust I require to wipe my sin.","author":"Munia Khan","tags":["dust","require","sin","sinner","types","wipe"],"id":69801,"author_id":"Munia+Khan"},{"text":"All dust is the same dust.
