I wonder, why is it always Forefathers and never Foremothers !

Let me be me when I seek solitude more than your presence.

-

I seek solace in your arms,
wrapped by your thoughts.

A male is a 'billionaire'
but
a female billionaire is a
'Female billionaire'.

-

I'm not happy
and
I'm tired of clìches

-

If you can,
don't promise me, 'forever'.

The only genuine answer to,
'what you want to become once you grow up'
is
'to be able to support my family'.

My first birthday cake.
Birthday celebration was never a thing at my home. No one wished me at my home. It was like any other day; but for me, who had seen friends distributing sweets on their birthdays, in school, wished the same. So on my eleventh birthday, I somehow managed to convince my mother into buying sweets for me, so that I could distribute it, to my friends and classmates. It was unprecedented.
The following year, nothing special happened but I made sure I didn't cry, for whatsoever reason, for I had somehow come to know that people should not cry on their birthdays and I made that my sole resolution for my birthday. No tears!
Uff! Those childish stuffs.
Before my 13th birthday, I was invited to one of my neighborhood friend's birthday. I saw something unusual being cut , cake it was. She fed everyone present. After, having the cake I asked her, where did she got the cake from." I baked it" was the answer, follwed by the recipe.
Back home, the only thing I knew was, I wanted the same cake and I was ready to accept the challenge of baking it. I wanted to celebrate my birthday, invite my friends and receive gifts from them. I wanted it, very very badly.

Vulnerability
is often
accompanied
by loneliness.

Some people don't leave us
and
some people, we don't leave behind.
