“Life isn’t in our brain // It flows through our veins.
Just a little cut to drain out the galaxies that keep me up tonight.
Just a little cut and all this goes away. Just a little cut and no more thoughts. No memories. No pain. I mean screw nostalgia.
I don’t want it. Take it back!”
Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More
“The saddest thing you can do as a human is to discuss one person with another for the sake of it. The unkindest thing you can do to a human is to tarnish their reputation in front of others just to make yourself look good. An unfortunate thing that you can do to a person is to be unapologetically direct and not understand their side. However, the WORST thing you can do is to slip in ‘little’ white lies just to save yourself from confrontations & emotional conversations.
Complain about each other to each other.
Have your freedom … G E N T L Y.
Discuss your mind – politely.”
Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More
“Confusion is a stairway to clarity, in a way.
Sometimes, we cross it quickly & other times we make it our home.
It just takes a little patience & retracing of steps to be back on the way.”

“Paranoia (n)
 A condition where a person always doubts others and themselves.
 A condition where all compliments seem too fake to be a reality.
 A condition where a person is unable to trust someone even after knowing them for years.
 A condition where a person thinks self-sabotage is healthy.
 A condition where a person just can’t turn off the grinding noises in their brain.
 A condition where a person feels that someone is only nice to them because they need something in return.
 A condition where a person can no longer differentiate between delusions and reality.  A condition where a person’s own mind is their biggest enemy.
 A condition where a person is ridden with irrational fears and ‘yellow wallpaper’ feels.
 A condition where a person feels that when people are not talking to them they are either talking about them or against them. Always.”

“Sometimes, no matter how hard we try for someone and hope that they will get better in time – they never do. Abusive relationships shouldn’t have a key to your chambers of heart. Hold your key and keep it close. Don’t end up getting addicted to such pain or human beings – for that matter. You might not be Thor but they can surely be Loki & hold you prisoner to their trickster nature.”

“Who told you that everything you think is right? When did you realise that everything you believe is set in stone? Can you choose the correct answer from below? Pick the right feeling – the right answer!
| 4 + 4 = 8 | 2 × 4 = 8 | 6 + 2 = 8 | 3 + 5 = 8 |
They are all correct, aren’t they? So how can you feel that everything you know is the correct answer to life and, thus, you are validated to play God?”

“The worst thing about being underweight or overweight; too dark or too white – in short too plain and bland in someone’s perception is the fact that most people just end up talking to you because they feel you can be a good stepping stone. And guess what – it sucks! It sucks being the ladder to so many, helping everyone grow and bloom, only to find yourself splayed upon the mud to be used as a path from one person to another. Not moving an inch. Just lying there on the sticky dirt infused ground – hoping someone would help you up – no one ever comes. The only person who can help you crawl out is yourself. Get up. Try. Just try.
You ARE Enough!”
Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More
“It’s the memories that we yearn for & cherish – not the relationship or person when sadness engulfs our heart and makes us go through the whole storyline again and again and again and again. Those memories are not even real. They are an idea of the memory formed that day – gorgeous and heartwarming – but it wasn’t always that. Was it?”

“Disappointments and humanity go hand in hand & there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it – other than taking the first step by setting an example ourselves but remember even Superman was hated by Lex Luthor (a “friend” at first; a foe later).”

“In the earliest English, the word bully was created by borrowing boel from the Dutch language. It means lover or sweetheart. Today, it is used to talk about someone who gets off by intimidating others because making others feel inferior is the only way for them to feel better about themselves maybe.
Oh, how the words have fallen – literally fallen from grace!”

You & your vain”
Sijdah Hussain, Red Sugar, No More
“This is a story of;
light & dark – moon & stars – hurt & heart
A human – A Woman – A bird
A man – A key
A friendship – A relationship – A sinking ship
Anger – Hope – Grief – Dismay
A cat – A plant – A knight – A dog stray
love & hate
A cage – A knife
And endless preys
Succumbed together,
Suppressed below the layers
Of skin & blood vessels turned black
‘t i s a story of a heart burnt to r o t !”
