Every picture speaks a story &
every story helps you build a picture.
Sometimes these both together
end up creating an explosion of emotions,
either taking you down a memory lane
or helping you walk a new path.

It was time to pick up the pieces, 
Of my own heart that I kept breaking. 
Chasing a billion dreams, yet standing still. 
The world around me evolving,
When I kept getting lost on the same roads. 
The silent, worry wart, 
Always running away from the crowd, 
Still making it all count with actions, 
Always making my way unannounced.
A stubborn mind, an aspiring, fearless soul, 
The day had come,
When my heart didn't agree with me anymore, 
It was time for change,
It was time for the old me to mark my return.

We often feel guilty on indulging in something you call pampering yourself. Whether you've been working extremely hard, not giving yourself enough time or just trying to invest a little bit more in yourself, you're not doing anything wrong. Enjoy this time, instead of worrying about moving away from the rules.

She was the kind of person who would leave everything behind, if she didn't see results. She kept resisting the urge of trying a little more, but her stubborn nature always got the better of her. She could only hope, maybe things would change, maybe she could change.

Recognise the small things that make life more meaningful. We get so tied up planning for tomorrow, that our insecurities start kicking in. We forget what we're capable of & what we've achieved so far. Just go back a little in time, observe, reflect and you'll feel that confidence coming right back.

We often look for happiness from some people who don't understand it's meaning. When we look at others experience elation the way we would like to, no matter how much we try not to, we do feel jealous of them. It's not your fault, it is plain human nature. However, what our mistake is that we choose to be happy only when it's directed from another person. We constantly depend on others to feel good about ourselves, when in reality all that we feel is something that comes from within. Do whatever you feel like whenever you want. Companionship shouldn't be a reason you compromise on felicity.

The world seems a lot more quieter when we settle the voices inside us. The chaos is still there, but a lot more bearable. There is a storm of calm that passes over us like lightning, making its impact even before the thunder shakes our ground. Inner peace ignites creativity, acceptance increases our efforts and pure love makes us go to the very extent every passionate person would go.

It hurts when they manage to race ahead of you. You feel you're not doing enough, you try to overdo everything which does nothing, but pulls you down a little further. It's a phase of pure disturbance, for you want to leave everything behind but are told to remember why you started. It's difficult to cope but, you cannot afford to lose hope.

It's actually really simple. Just keep looking at the bigger picture, all these small problems will start showing you plausible solutions as well.

Maybe, just maybe, everything was finally falling in place.
