Magic✨

It was 10 pm and I was listening to music in my room just like everyday... My favourite song came up and I just turned of all the lights and opened up the window to adore the beauty of city at night... The air was cold but comforting. I was in a good mood today. When I was done adoring the beauty of majestic river I looked up at the sky to find the two stars i call my own. I found them shining brighter than usual but as I averted my gaze I found more stars around them! The more I look the more stars I find... It instantly made me giggle like a 5 year old! It was really unusual to see more than 3 stars in a city like Surat but seeing these stars had such an effect on me even I can't believe it.. Of course I have seen skies that are much more starrier but idk why this unexpected sight just made me so happy it almost felt magical! So simple yet so impactful...

The more I stared I realised faint band across the sky it hit me 'thats the milky way'! I suddenly became so ecstatic it's almost laughable. I have no idea what made me so happy, it can only be magic. I felt so small against this vast expanse of endless sky as I imagined what space might look like... I realised world is just so beautiful! 

Another incident like this was months ago when my mood wasn't really good and I was stressing over exams. A humid and hot atmosphere suddenly felt cool and comforting and I felt gentle breeze hit the back of my head. I looked out of the window to see dust and leaves were swirling in tiny tornadoes, trees were showing the indefinate direction of wind, sheet of clouds was covering the sky and atmosphere was just so comforting! I prefer cloudy days to sunny ones so this sudden change in weather made me just as ecstatic as I was today seeing the stars.. at that time too i thought 'how did my mood take such a sharp U turn? Did something so simple as weather really make me so happy as I am right now? I can't describe what I'm feeling right now I'm so curious! This can only be magic'

Does this happen to everyone? It feels like some magical power hits me with a 'happy ray' because it wants me to be happy for some reason... So many times little things like these just touch our soul. Yes I beleive in magic! This beautiful feeling is nothing but magic. The instant happiness I feel by seeing innocent puppies on roadside is magic. Feeling I get by helping someone and making them feel loved is simply magic. Feeling being with people you love is magic. Feeling music is magic. Making art is magic. Cooking is magic. Imagination is magic. 

Oh if I keep going the list will never end!

This 'magic' is nothing but feeling of utmost ecstasy and contentment. The level of positive energy it releases is magical!

It took me some time but I finally realised that it's all about perception. A pessimist would definately call my views childish or naive. An optimist would feel exactly what I'm trying to covey here with my perception of magic. And a realist would have a very rational opinion on it.

No can help a pessimist if they themselves choose to sulk all the time and only focus on what they lack. Being a realist who doesn't ignore the darkness of world is definately practical but too boring to me. Optimism! The world itself sounds so colourful, bright and alluring... It opens doors of true potential, real happiness and endless imagination. Focusing on all the good things in life is definately my approach. In fact there is actually so many positive things that it's overwhelming! My optimism allows me to welcome this amazing idea of existence of magic. My heart tells me 'true happiness is just magic' and you can't convince me otherwise. 

It's not like I'm immune to negative emotions or sadness. I must be really emotional, if i can feel happiness to such extent, of course whenever I feel sad or angry that emotion is extreme too. And it's not like my life is all sunshine and rainbows, everyone has problems and stress. Then what makes me so positive? My choice. 

I don't let my emotions control me, I chose to control my emotions. "No one can hurt me without my permission" is very well said quote by Mahatma Gandhi.

We all have this power to rule over ourselves but we chose to let our emotions drive us so many times! Everyone feels emotions and there is nothing wrong with that but what matters is how you keep them in check. This is why i always say 'serenity is strength'. Anyone who can manage to stay calm according to circumstances in extreme situations full of heavy emotions is truly strong. Choose what you want to feel! It's hard i know but it's not impossible. Dont let your mind control you, control your mind.

And just feel the magic that is everywhere!
