You must learn to love yourself

There are times, when your heart drifts away to a silent, dark corner while your mind replays the past; filled with happy memories and inevitable hopes. You feel stranded, like a small boat in the middle of a huge sea storm, slightly willing to drown, for the harsh winds and the cruel waves remind you of the lovelorn heart you have been living with. Every moment feels forced, as if you just exist for the sake of it, and the love you crave for dies in you. Loneliness becomes your only companion, and every night reminds of how unlovable you are. It just so happens that everyone you once adored now feel like someone who had been bearing you. You disrespect yourself so much so that you begin to feel like everyone deserves someone better than you.
Well, yes, it isn't easy to find who you are truly are and fall in love with the idea of it, but it's certainly not difficult to begin the process of knowing oneself. Every negative thought which crosses your mind affects you in ways you cannot even comprehend, and the worst part is, you allow yourself to do it. Stop complaining about how unwanted you feel, and start manifesting the love you have abandoned. Stop cribbing about how lonely you feel, for nothing and absolutely noone is permanent expect for yourself. And trust me, accepting reality is far better than creating an illusion which will turn into a bitter memory the moment it starts fading. Start it slowly, and go step by step. Learn new things, no matter how trivial they sound to the world. Read new books, no matter how diverse they are. Explore the place you live in and nearby. Talk to strangers, for sometimes, a stranger is all you need to feel better. Fall in love with the idea of dawn, and fall for the beauty of the dusk. Listen to everything which makes you feel good about yourself. And most importantly, trust who you are becoming. Believe that you are not another person who will simply die one day, and instead, strive to live everyday. Fall in love with the universe within you.🖤

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...
