|| Unfolding in July ||

It feels life has softened a bit, this July.
A little kind, a little lit, this July.

My gym routine’s back on its track again,
And keeping a schedule feels legit, this July.

The weekdays pass with silent grace,
No bonus breaks, no festive writ, this July.

Love plays hide and seek with me again.
My heart and I barely sit, this July.

At home, the silence echoes deep,
No ears to hear, no lamps are lit, this July.

Do you still keep dreaming, Moushmi ?
Only dreams feel truly fit, this July.

I am my own Messiah.

I am the only one who holds the power to bring change within.

Listening is an art. People who actually listen to you are so rare. When you finally find them, it feels such a blessing. An answer to all those prayers, to the shooting stars. As if the stars have actually come down for you.

when I invest more time and energy
for MY happiness
than for others.

This one's for all those Durgas who have forgotten their power. Who love working for others so much that they have stopped loving themselves. Who keep on sacrificing their happiness for their family because they are mothers, grandmothers, wives, elder sisters and so on.

Choose yourself first. Keep yourself happy. Do whatever it takes to keep your soul joyful. Every single day. Happiness is not available in the market. It has to be created every single day. Happiness is a choice.

So choose to be happy. Choose yourself first. Above your spouses, your parents. Even above your child. Because once you stay happy, everything else is aligned properly. You can give love only if you love yourself. And you can love yourself only if you do something for yourself. Every single day.

one accepts death as the ultimate reality.

What if I were to die tomorrow?
Would I spend my last day
on this planet resenting people
or would I forgive them and stay happy?
