The Centre

 A long-held belief whispers that no new story graces this ancient world. The Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and the entire cosmos are so venerable that every tale is but a reimagined echo of events long past. Each narrative is merely a retelling, set against different social, geographical, economic, political, and imaginative landscapes. The essence remains unchanged; only the narrative evolves.

It is often said that history tends to repeat itself. This notion likely arises within a specific context. No novel political perspective, no new conflict, or historical incident exists that hasn't manifested in some form before. It’s suggested that all narratives share a common origin. Consider the striking parallels between the story of Krishna and the story of Moses. There are notable similarities between Vasudeva carrying Krishna across the Yamuna to shield him from Kamsa, and Moses parting the Red Sea to protect the Israelites from the Egyptians.

In storytelling, it is widely understood by experts that there exists a finite number of themes perpetually reiterated across various mediums—retellings, theatre, drama, and cinema. These themes include love stories, epic dramas, and gangster films. This repetition leads one to surmise that no narrative remains untold.

Yet this raises an intriguing paradox: why does our love story feel unique, distinct, and profoundly special? Despite claims that the universe has existed for eons, each day spent with you feels unprecedented. Each day emerges as a novel adventure. Every moment shared with you imparts an experience so singular it seems unparalleled in human existence.

Each day with you is so extraordinary it feels as though the universe itself has never witnessed such beauty. The cosmos could never have encountered a marvel like our love story. It seems impossible that the universe has ever known such profound love and passion.

If only I could convey to the universe how special we are, how unique our love is. If only I could express how wonderful it is to spend time with you in my own distinct way. Each kiss releases a flutter of butterflies. Every kiss makes me never want to stop, lost in the magic of you. Loving you is the most wondrous thing that has ever graced my life.

And that is why I often ponder and find it hard to believe there are no untold stories left on this planet. Every moment I share with you feels like a fresh tale waiting to be told and retold. It’s then I realise my universe began with you and will undoubtedly end with you.

Physicists commonly agree that electrons in an atom orbit the central nucleus composed of protons and neutrons. According to Niels Bohr's model, neutrons and protons form the core while electrons revolve around this nucleus. Though quantum theory suggests pinpointing an electron's exact position relative to the nucleus is impossible, electrons are believed to be perpetually in motion around protons and neutrons.

Much like the atoms,  celestial bodies appear to rotate on its own axis while orbiting a central object—the moon orbits Earth; Earth and other planets orbit the sun; the sun itself orbits the Milky Way's centre; and our galaxy spins around its centre among millions of others in an expanding universe with no fixed point at its heart.

Yet despite these cosmic truths, all celestial bodies revolve around something significant. Though science posits there is no centre to the universe, I must respectfully disagree—for you, my love, are undeniably the centre of mine, and my life will always revolve around you.
