there are like five rules to life and those rules are

1. eat 3 meals a day

2. always have a non alcoholic drink with you

3. never trust anything you think about your life after 8-9pm

4. do a little something for urself every day

5. interact with a Beast at least once a day (human, feline, canine, lizard, bird, etc)

and the secret 6th rule:

6. if you can't do all of those rules, just do the ones you can

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

I want romance. I want laughter. I want the 3am love making. I want consistency. I want loyalty. I want the random looks of admiration. I want to know you're just for me. I want date nights and flowers. I want truth. I want priority. I want love that's pure and calming.

It's all about who you want to tell your good news to first

I don’t usually write in Hindi, but when I do it ends up being something like:

ना दोस्ती निभाई गई, ना मोहब्बत संभाली गई, ना रिश्तों का भरोसा रहा, ना खुद से रिश्ता बनाया गया… हर मोड़ पे बस खुद को ही बेवफ़ा पाया।

You were alive here — fearful and wild and beautiful.

POV: your girlfriend shows you how to wield an axe

Find a lover who says “I see your trauma, and I know you are so much more than your experiences.” That kind of love and support that helps you heal, grow, thrive.

I am the type of lover that foresees collapse and dives in headfirst anyway. I am the type of lover that knew who he was all along and loved him anyway. I implored him, I craved him at every moment of the day and every second I did not spend with him was a waste of time to me. I loved him, I knew him, with his blood underneath my nails, tears down my shirt, pulling him into me and mourning his body that was still warm in my arms. I knew he wouldn’t stay from the very beginning, yet I played his game simply to draw him out of himself and to experience him fully as a person. I am rich, but not in the way you’d think, but my biggest pleasure in life is coaxing the life and humanity out of people and to collect their impressions on me and see the world as they do. It’s so beautiful to be human. I wish I could live like they do

How to keep hope alive

this is my most recent post on my new blog, where I make longer posts and post some of my own pictures there. This one is about choosing to remain hopeful and take action rather than allowing myself to go into desperation after seeing so many terrible news lately. It’s not over until it’s over, and it’s not over yet. This post talks about how hope can help you find ways to act to improve your own life and help others instead of feeling completely defeated. Even if you have less power, it doesn’t mean you’re powerless. If you want to read more, click here
