Don't be just good to others. Be good to yourself too

Do you ever feel drowned in your own ocean? Isn't the feeling more like being away from home in the home? Things you once used to adore start to become a source of hate and disgust. You feel suffocated in your own company, and the worst of all is the loneliness which begins to kill you slowly and cruelly. You feel like the last leaf, hanging onto the cold autumn tree, afraid of the winds; but at the same time, desiring to abandon the same. You feel insecure about the beauty everyone around you has got, and the frustration of not being who they are invites unhappiness in your heart. You no longer wish to stay with yourself, and your urge to seek others makes you helpless. 
You don't even realise who you are, for every single thought of yours is filled with doubt and anxiety. And the more you dig in, you feel the emptiness weighing your soul, until there's a moment, when you realise you have survived it all. You realise that you have survived the worst of everything, and like the sun which never feels it's warmth, you never appreciate who you are. You are drowned in darkness so much so that you take no notice of the light residing in you. And now, when all you have is the your pure raw self, find the beauty you are adorned with, and know that you are as significant as the universe. It is when you are good to yourself, you make space for the love which often abandons you. Feel the peace when you listen to the silence all by yourself, and you will fall in love with the goodness you are gifted with.❤️

One day, it won't hurt any more

One fine morning, while you are making yourself some coffee, thinking about every other incomplete work, assignments and meetings lying ahead, you suddenly start to feel nostalgic, as if your past, those beautiful memories, those ungrateful scars are calling you out, asking you to realise that you are still the same person within, just a bit changed in the way you look at things, people and situations and probably a lot more calm. As you sit down, stirring your coffee slowly, not yet awake completely, and slowly begin to relish it's flavour, you go back in your past, from your biggest blunders to your silly embarrassments, from those sleepless nights to uncanny scary examinations, from those bitter fights to lovely trips and everything else which got you where you are. You begin to smile to yourself wondering about each and every person you thought you couldn't live without reminding yourself of all those promises you made, all those dreams you wove and of how heartbroken you...

Stay away from the people who make you feel like you are hard to love

"The concept of love is so absurd. I mean, it's just pain wrapped up in the most beautiful form of pleasure which attracts us in a way we can't refuse. You know, I don't hate to be in love, I am just scared of it. I am scared to fall for someone who pretends to be sure about me, but isn't. And honestly, it's hard to fall in love with me. I have learnt to not give away myself so easily", she smiled a bit, and with tears in her eyes, she confessed her deepest fear. "I wonder if I will ever know what true love is. I wonder if I will ever find a person who would conquer my demons and remind me of the angels which once used to reside in me. I just wonder if I will ever be loveable", she blurted out, and looked straight into my eyes, and fell on my shoulder, sobbing badly. I was at loss of words, for I had never known what true love is like. But one thing I was sure of, was that, no person is hard to love. It's just about realising the beauty of t...

This matters... First choice

If I am not your first choice, please don’t waste my time. Don’t chase me if I’m not the one you truly want to be with. Don’t play games. Don’t love me in halves. If I am not your first choice, don’t encourage me to share myself with you. Don’t let me open up to you about my past, my childhood, my fears. Don’t let me reveal my soul to you if you’re not ready to nurture it. Don’t ask for a place in my heart if you’re not planning on staying there. Don’t awaken my love if you’re not ready to love me. Don’t hold me if you’ll easily let me go. If I am not your first choice, don’t stop me from finding the one who would put me first. Don’t lie to me and tell me that I’m the only one when you’re still juggling options. It is okay to not know what you want, but please, if that is the case — just let me go. If I am not your first choice, please leave. Leave and don’t disturb my peace. Leave instead of half-loving me. Leave instead of lying to me. Leave because I don’t need this kind of darkene...
