everything that was holding me back
Didn’t realise it also meant leaving you.

Sometimes life feel like an empty shell,
but isn’t this exactly where the pearl starts its journey?

-

When a misguided bird
lands at your doorstep
you don’t get angry.
You feed it, care, and wait till it can fly,
and set it free.

Same needs to be done
for the mistaken and broken hearts…

I don’t want to go back in the past with the people present then. I’m not scared of the past, we make mistakes and make peace with it. But not everyone can. And some people stay there stuck in the past and would drag you too. Letting go of once beautiful friendships is not easy but often necessary if they don’t grow with time.

When there is even faintest light miles ahead of you, it can keep you going.
The real test is when it’s dark everywhere.

Some people you liked, eventually leave…
It’s not like you need them to stay.
They had left their imprints with you-
when you have an imprint intact,
you can remodel them-
another key can be made from its imprint,
the original one no longer needed-
and even the new key is not needed
the imprint is enough-
the memories and the long gone existence
that’s all you need
to cherish and smile.

We outgrow most of the people in our life. It's not easy or pleasant always. We lose something when we outgrow, just like a caterpillar shading its cocoon.
Out of all, outgrowing our parents is the most difficult process.

Sometimes I wonder right at this moment how many people are dying around the world. How many are suffering to injustice and going through pain, through a toughest phase of their lives.
How much of it do I need to know? What difference can I make in their lives? Is my oblivion a bliss? Or a protective layer? Who can help whom when they can’t help themselves? This, I think of me. But then it’s all about a huge jigsaw puzzle. You fit in somewhere and add value to their existence, so what momentarily? The joy of moments, of absorbing the kindness and energy bouncing off others, that could be someone’s greatest moment. Why deprive when you can’t add to it?
A butterfly glides over flowers, not only complementing the beauty but also serving a greater cause of life. In the lightest, easiest moments, the world replicates its tiny part, a heavy task indeed.

If people are showing their true colors,
believe them. Out of the huge spectrum of colors, they have chosen these ones. Respect reality, respect yourself, and choose yourself.

-

a dance step, or an alphabet
a slice of green mango or
a dash of a colorpen
highlighting a single word
that shifts my entire day.

A smiley from a friend
or a message from the ex
oh no, that's not little
but isn't hi a harmless text?
