You know your mental health is fucked up when you start getting triggered by small ghar ke kalesh which you used to listen to on a daily basis.

notes from my therapist

when we explore what happened in your childhood, it is not to blame your parents or have a biased judgement of them. it is to understand how events impacted you and what your experience was. so you don’t have to feel guilty about talking about it or as if you are betraying your family. 

trauma can be of various types and it does not only have to be induced due to one major event. there can also be trauma from situations of acute stress over a prolonged period of time. 

choosing the wrong or right people does not mean they are good or bad. it means understanding what is healthy for you and what you want. it’s not putting them into boxes, it’s simply knowing what is healthy for you.

why do you wait for a green light from others? what is your green light? why do your decisions have to be based on what others want? what do you want?

being a friendly person and being an open book does not mean that you cannot have boundaries. 

you disappointing someone or them disappointing you does not have to be the end of the relationship.

I can't believe i finally said my parents, "mujhe bahir ki duniya dekhni hai, doston ke saath ghumana hai, ghar se bahir nikalna hai." and they said, "nikal jaa hamare ghar se."

urdu is so unnecessarily seductive like

“iss qadar pyar se ae jan e jahan rakha hai dil ke rukhsar pe is waqt teri yaad ne hath”

just means "i miss you" like can you not pls.

In the desi family you can't write 'your dil ki baatein' in your diary, you'll always be haunted by the thought of 'what if they read'
