Letter to me.

-

एक मिल चलने मे थक जाते है ,
पर तुम साथ हो तो मिलो भी कम नजर आते ...

ए दोस्त तुम न होते तो क्या होता ?

-

Dear ten year old self ,
I am here to tell you ,
That you won't be okay . Not now , not ever .
But you'll be okay not being okay .
And you'll somehow always be smiling without someone reminding you to do so and , I am proud of you .

Dear Angel,

Don't think twice
Hope. Dream. Believe.

Close your eyes if that helps
Open your arms and jump
I promise you won't hit the ground.
That itching bruises on your back
Are nothing but growing feathers
So take flight and soar higher than
All the expectations thrown your way
Before the weight on your shoulders
Gets heavier than your heart
That beating heart is ticking clock
So when it sounds faster, jump
There's a reason why 'angels fall'

Don't think twice
Hope. Dream. Believe.

Yours truly,
Bird in a cage

Dear 10 year old me,
I miss you and I won't give you a long lecture, thus. I won't ask you to be better either. Just don't be me. Let life teach you its ways.

-

You will make mistakes every single day
You will get beaten up
By people
By situations
By life
But these blows will forge you
Into the sharpest sword

-

My Beloved Self,
You are Brave, Different, Stubborn, Crazy, Irritating, Funny, Rude, Overthinking, Boring & a Sensitive Soul. You may Think that You should Change your Qualities to fit in the Society, But, No, You are Doing Absolutely Great...Coping with the Surroundings, Dealing with Patience, Your Silent Screams, Your Unseen Tears, Your Hope for a Better Future...All these Depict that You are a Strong-minded Soul & You are Just Unique. Just Be as You are by Doing What Your Heart Says & Ignore about the Society as they just Bark for Whatever You Do...I Love you for the Way You are, Keep Yourself Mentally Resistant & Explore the World...
Yours Faithfully,

#जब_मैं_दस_साल_की_थी
तब मैं सोचती थी
सबसे खूबसूरत दुल्हन होती है
खनखनाती चूडियाँ
माथे की बिंदिया
खूब सारे सौंदर्य प्रसाधन जाने क्या-क्या
किंतु अब मैं बड़ी हो गई हूँ
मायने खूबसूरती के बदल गए हैं
अब मुझे सुंदरता मिलती है उन औरतो में
जो बड़ी सहजता से निभाती हैं जिम्मेदारियाँ
पैबंदों को छिपाती हैं बड़ी कुशलता से
सुंदर हैं वो जो विधवापन में भी
सशक्तता से निर्वाह करती हैं अकेले जीवन
मर्यादित हो तलाशती हैं खुद को
जोड़ती बिखरी शख्सियत को
किंतु एक विचार आज भी प्रासंगिक हैं
कोई भी रास्ता चुनो
पर चलना मर्यादाओं की पगडंडी पर
जो राह पहूँचाती है वास्तविक मुकाम पर
सत्यम् शिवम सुंदरम् के सार सी...
रजनी
🕊🕊

A letter to a 10 year old me

Jump a little more
Dance a little more
Run into the sea
Don't wait at the shore
Fulfil your desires
Fulfil your innocent dreams
Life after this will be tough and filled with responsibilities
Relish that last piece of cake
Once older you will be saving it for someone else to take
Steal the cream from the biscuits
How I wish I could still do this!!
Get away will all your notorious acts
Maybe repeat the ones that weren't so bad
Sit at the window with a friend
Laugh away from the memories of the fun you've had
I wish you be you all over again
How I wish I could turn time again!!
