It is not definite that the pain you're experiencing today will not knock your door tomorrow.

But what is promising is that the pain which effects you so deeply today will not have the same effect tomorrow.

“It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.”

Collecting every fibre of my desire to manifest myself into the wish it so lovingly dreams of.

If you could be anything, won't you be yourself?

His eyes wanted me to behold something.

Was it his love?

Was it his gaze?

Or

Was it him?

I aware of the intensity of the crash his eyes would shudder upon me.

Yet I let it be.

Yet I let him be.

My ruin was on its way.

And it needed no permission.

My catastrophe was ringing the door bell of my heart.

But, it needed no permission.

I had walked into the dangerous fairyland of love.

And since I had always been a single loud voice

My heart tried to become like that too.

It lead me on to his love, his gaze and the ruin himself.

Is it just me or anyone else too who undergoes deep thinking processes and existencial crisis at the middle of night but then gets back up straight in the morning with a completely different mindset only to experience the same crisis the next night?

All my life, I believed I was progressing, moving forward and maturing with the challenges that came my way. Little did I know that it was all due to the outside forces/people/stimulus present, that I felt challenged and threatened. But I realize I'm much more mature now. For I know that the biggest challenge and the biggest disaster occurs only when the fight is within,for and against you.

“We mature with the damage, not with the years.”

— Mateus William

As fearless as a storm could be

As loud as a rain could be

As bold as a sun could be

As resilient as a famished yet beautiful land could be

As soft and mellow as a dew drop could be

As bright and colourful as a rainbow could be

As women as a woman could be

This is your day. To value your importance and to salute your strength. Happy Women's Day !

While the whole world wants me to remain caught inside its shackles, only a book's chapter could let me set myself free.💖🌼
