The story of a giver.
All her life she was a giver.
Giver not knowing her worth and limits.
She was limitless with her care.
People around her took everything she gave without any hesitation.
She realised people only treated limited editions with care and not those freebies.
When she questioned this, she was questioned in return with 'Did I ever ask you to care?'
Everybody would have crossed this silly girl's stage in life.
And promised not to be that silly anymore.
But what if she wanted to be that person.
The giver.
The giver who still remains the same no matter how much hurt or betrayal she got.
What if?

ஒரே ஒரு கர்வம் தான் எனக்கு.
உலகில் யாருமே எட்டாத அளவு உன்னை நேசித்து விட்டேன் என்ற கர்வம்.

இமைகள் ஓய்வெடுக்கும் போது
உன் விழிகளில் விழுந்து
ஒரு யுகம் வாழ்ந்து முடித்துவிட்டேன்.

ஒரு சமயம் உன் இன்மையால் வாடுகிறேன்.
சில சமயம் உன்னை எதிர்பார்த்து ஏங்குகிறேன்.
சில சமயம் உன்னை வேண்டாம் என்று கோபத்தில் எனக்குள்ளே வெறுத்து கொள்கிறேன்.
ஆனால் பல சமயம் நீ என் வாழ்வில் வந்ததை நினைத்து, 'சபிக்கப்பட்டவள்' என்ற பெயரில் இருந்து 'அதிர்ஷ்டம் செய்தவள்' தான் என்று எண்ணி மிதந்து கொள்கிறேன்.
அது என்னவோ என்னுள் ஓராயிரம் எண்ணங்களை ஓடவிடும் வலிமை உன் நினைப்பிற்கே உரித்தானதோ என்னவோ.

On a random weekday morning, you find your lost self.
Not because of somebody else.
Not because of the something that happened the way you wanted.
Not because of any external validation.
Just because of self acceptance.
Realising that Embracing yourself is everything you ever needed is just so ethereal.

சிவப்பு துப்பட்டா போல் சாயங்கால மேகங்கள் கண்களை மூடினாலும் எட்டிக் கொண்டு பார்க்கிறான்.
பாவம் அவனுக்கும் பிரியபட்டவர்களை பிரிய மனமில்லை போலும்
~ மறையும் கதிரவன்.

The type of person that people get bored over time.
The kind that gets praised for being considerate but discarded once got closer.
The ones that were loved for being passionate but humiliated for being too much.
Those that were misunderstood and degraded for being them.
To those kinds of people, I know it's hard and it's okay to not be okay.
You can't always accept mistreatment just because you know it's going to happen.
You do you despite everything everyday.

Ever been a customer that needs a little bit of help to make things work?
I had a hard time exchanging an item by losing the bill.
When everyone at the shop simply answered 'Not possible without the bill mam', one employee extended her helping hand and looked for the bill using the transaction history I had.
Working in the service sector is literally a roller coaster ride.
Being attentive and lending a hand to every customer everyday is just so appreciable.
That extra mile she went sacrificing her 5 minutes of lunch time made me realise the power of kindness and humanity.
When you get the chance, be the person who does that extra work just because it might help someone.
If not, then be the person who appreciates such kindness by repaying with gratitude and gestures.

I was a broken soul,
your love gave me the strength
to rebuild myself.
I still do break
but I have the luxury of running back to you, my home.

When you are kind, you are considered weak.
When you are empathetic, you are regarded as goody two shoes.
When you are affectionate, you are discarded for being available too much.
When you are compassionate, you are branded as know-it-all.
When you are in your shell, you are called egoistic.
However you are going to be, this world is going to call you something that you are not.
Don't let that crush you instead grow strong enough to love bigger than that.
