I feel like I am on a blue azure sky and all the ravens of the century are trying to peck me of my identity. Anyhow, the question is how do I get to know what is my identity? And how do I erase all those ravens from my sky? And basically what do you do when you suddenly realize that everything is going to the end one day and you are going to dissolve into oblivion.

Hi, Aimen! Thank you for your question! :)
The ravens are always going to be there. The key is to become an eagle. Because eagles are more powerful than ravens.
Ironically, we often find out who we really are, by identifying the traits that the "ravens" (I'm just using your own term here) are trying to steal from us. "Ravens" try to steal from us the best qualities about us; trying to make us bitter, angry, vengeful... in the presence of those things, we cannot see who we are! In the absence of vengeance, anger and bitterness, our eyes are clouded to what we really are. And if we pay attention to the traits in us that are attacked by those "ravens", then we can know which parts of us to protect. In my case, the "ravens" in my life were always attacking my sense of peace and contentment. They made me angry and vengeful. What is the opposite of anger and vengeance? Peace and contentment.
I do not believe that, "everything is going to end one day" and that I am "going to dissolve into oblivion". :)
Feel free to ask more questions in the future!
Sincerely,
C. Bells

Your the very first Author to bring tears to my eyes breathtaking I took big fat gulps of air to read each word carefully not to disturb letters I was equally surprised on discovering you are a woman thanks for hi jacking my thoughts "could this be true could I really love Me " I was forbidden to read as a child I could have escaped sooner. Did you have the support of your family?

Hi, I loved your quote about writing.and all the bleeding goes on. My best friend is an aspiring writer. I think she is a wonderful writer, but I can see how she bleeds at times. It is so personal to her, the words.She gets disappointed at times. Any advice you could pass along to her? :-) PS- I lust the words you write. I would have said Love, but lust is a much more powerful word ;-)
