And then my mom spoke to me,
"Baby, bad and wrongs are easy. Goodness needs effort. Just as that, Hatred comes with easiness but love arrives with pain and endeavors. You needn't do anything to attain poor marks but you need to sacrifice your comforts sometimes with lots of work to attain excellent marks. To have a messy room, you do nothing but tidy one asks your actions to clean it. Always be prepared to put in efforts to cleanse your soul and ready to take risks, whether in life or love. Escape is easy but darl, I know you will not be up for easy things."
And that had a lot of volume.-
And Mom said to me, "Honey, Don't worry about unpredictable things. Don't fear to be yourself. Trust on your life. It's your mother who's gonna prepare you to deal with everything you are scared of. It won't work your way, for good mothers don't for the sake of their children but will make sure to not miss any lesson you need. Be disciplined and never forget those lessons. Firsts are scary, always. So every time life slaps you for the first time of anything, take your lesson and move on with a bigger wider smile. And never hate it for being strict at times, for you know every mother is."
And nothing made better sense than that to me.-
And my mom spoke in a calming tone, "if you want to fight, don't run away, whether it is real life or virtual. Every time you get addicted to some apps on your phone or habituated with the person in your life, let them stay. Deleting the apps and cutting off the people isn't the sign of a fighter, getting rid of it this way is a cowardice act. Know how to make peace with yourself while they are still there. Learn how to not affect yourself and you keep continuing in your essence. Keep going until you discover you are controlling and not being controlled."
And that shook the real warrior in me that day.-
And that day my mom advised,
"Sweets, Always keep a safe distance in relations. Don't let them come too near you, because when you fail to keep the limits, relations don't last long."
And later, I regretted forgetting her words.-
And One day, my Mom told me,
"Don't let this society dampen your spirit. Don't let it overpower your thoughts. Don't let them drive your opinion and beliefs. Never try to fit in their gown of pleasure but sew your own, my love. Respect every human enough but follow your self unapologetically. You are " you" and that makes you phenomenal. Never lose your uniqueness, my child.You are incredible with your intentions and understandings."
It was the best to hit me hard and hence I found my 'own' voice.-
And once my Best friend told me,
" Hon, not talking to me is not a solution. But mending our issue together is. I might hurt you sometimes but darl, know that it is never my intention. And even when I am harsh and brutal, remember that it is another form of my care. The existence of love is not enough. But understanding is the most crucial key."
Those words touched me to the core and I went ahead with a new belief to make our friendship, a true Epitome.-
