dailyprompt-1879 – the untold Realities

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

The rain elapsed, followed by a slight sunshine. Having been home all day due to the reduction in job demand by the company I currently work for, I was among those laid off till further notice. Cold and jittery, my mind took the greater part of me. It has been raining all through this month, to the surprise of everyone. Where does the hall of mountain sunshine seem to be suddenly becoming a cold water forest? Maybe it’s climate change. Madrid, the center of Europe, has monotonous weather.

What again is this topic about? * Which animal would I compare myself to and why?

I quickly stepped outside the gate to grace the noon sun, which pelted my spirit and soul and had me in the same position with my body fighting over the best position, which was most enjoyable. Putting my face up directly to the rays of sunlight, eyes closed, wishing that I could be made to lie down in my position for a long period of time, though I was only in front of my house building, resting partially on a parked vehicle. Many passersby understood the importance of the sun to me, judging by their looks towards me, of which I paid no attention. Suddenly there was a bird noise, which reminded me of a particular bird back then in my hometown, usually heard early afternoon and evening, a unique one though. However, that is not the type of animal I am or like to be compared with, but I love its gentle and peaceful nature.

Irrespective of your kind,no animal survives alone.

Even as the memories of hunting them for food in the past resonated in my mind, something I frown at currently because I believe that every animal has the right to life. There sit two birds of the same feather, like the usual words (they flock together), but something stood out that had me in awe, even to the point of taking my mind away from these golden rays of sunshine. I looked furiously towards the birds sitting on telephone cables; it appeared that they were young couples or friends of opposite sexes. It was my first time seeing such intimacy between such animals, even in humans. At first they spoke to each other in their language, then kissed passionately. I became confused because I never believed my eyes. Then they mated, after which they caressed each other by picking each other’s feathers, even to the extent of laying their heads on each other. I froze at my position, not realizing how long I had been gazing at these wonderful birds. Maybe the universe was talking to me indirectly about how life, courtship, friendship, and marriage should be, or maybe I am lost in my own thoughts. I quickly ran inside, having enjoyed the sun and the birds’ companionship…

As humans, we are nothing less than a different animal, but whichever you choose to be, or compared with! Let it be with love, openness, and tolerance for one another; For irrespective of your kinds, no animal survives alone.

Who is the most confident person you know?

You inspire many;Stay on course.

Confidence is a trait that is developed over time and cannot be pinned down to a single act or behavior. A moment of bravery can set someone on a transformative path, but maintaining that confidence is essential to stay on course.

True confidence comes from a deep appreciation of one’s abilities and qualities, coupled with belief in a positive outcome. It is a hidden superpower that many of us possess at different points in our lives. However, only a few manage to sustain that courage in their everyday decisions.

Life, time, and circumstances shape our journeys and relationships. Yet, certain individuals stand out for their unwavering confidence. This can be seen in their decision-making, their navigation through emotional challenges, their intellectual expression, communication skills, conflict management abilities, perseverance, and patience.

Each person’s confidence manifests in unique ways, which adds to the richness of humanity. It’s important to recognize that one should not be judged for lacking confidence in specific situations unless one consistently shows a lack of courage in their daily life. The perception of dreams, perseverance of purpose, and belief in oneself are the fuels that drive confidence.

I dedicate this message to my late mother, who exemplified these qualities even in her final moments, and to you, my wonderful readers, who have persevered to the end of this article. You have all demonstrated remarkable confidence in overcoming life’s challenges. Never let your guard down you might be a shining light to lots of people who look up to your superpowers.
