<p>December is ending soon and with it, a year full of challenges and growth. You’ve fought battles no one knows about. You’ve shown up when it felt impossible. You’ve carried yourself through days when the weight felt unbearable.</p>



<p>Be proud, truly proud. You’re still standing and that’s no small thing. Through the storms, heartbreaks, chaos, you’ve made it through. You don’t need to find the reasons why everything happened. You don’t need to untangle the past to thrive in the future, just carry the strength and let the rest go.</p>

<p>Challenges will come and you might feel overwhelmed, but remember you are stronger than you know. Embrace the tough moments, because they are only preparing you for something bigger. As we stand on the edge of this year, I hope you look back — not with regret over how you’re ending this year, but with a deep sense of gratitude for the journey, for the lessons that have only made you stronger. </p>



<p>Let’s finish this year strong, together. Trust that what’s ahead holds more light than what you leave behind. <img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2728.png" alt="✨" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2665.png" alt="♥" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>We are slaves to our thoughts. We can go from peace to mess in a matter of just one thought. So when we are sad, we get very vulnerable in our head, we start blaming ourselves for being in this position. And we start to doubt our own worth. Am I good enough? Do I deserve that someone will respect me and love me? It’s all my fault, right? Your whole soul gets drowned in these negative thoughts. On your good days, these thoughts won’t even cross your mind. But on your bad days, these thoughts cut through your heart like a knife, and you bleed. </p>

<p></p>



<p>Is it normal? No. How can it be normal to feel unworthy? But it happens to us all. We all go through a phase when people we hold dear suddenly appear too far. Life happens.. and you feel all alone, down and dusted. Nothing goes right. You try to fight it out first. You force those smiles. But soon it becomes harder and harder to fight the demons that only you can feel. So you fall weak. You accept that sadness is eating you up. And you give up, but only to wake up the next day and say, &#8220;I will be fine. I will fight this.&#8221;</p>



<p>This is a very personal fight. You will have people trying to help you, talk to you, But the truth is no one can heal the scars that only your soul can feel. You have to suffer with that pain. You have to find a way to cure it. A million things will explode in your head. You will want to scream out in frustration. You will know that you are drowning and you won&#8217;t even try to swim. It gets that messy in your head. But you will figure it out eventually. And you will come out as a stronger person, a person who saw hell and still came out smiling. Big Hug! </p>

<p>The path you have taken will never be easy. You have chosen to stay real in this fake world. So, you will always have those cold, painful days when you will question everything. Your strong soul will give up. Your eyes will be moist. Your heart will go heavy. </p>



<p>I understand how you look at fake liars and wonder why karma does not hit them. But that’s just the life you have chosen. It’s a hard life and it will always stay tough. The trick is to survive these harsh days with patience. </p>



<p>You have to accept being sad at times. You need to embrace this rough phase. Don’t rush to the wrong people in the hope of comfort. Stick to your dignity. If it takes tears, cry. But keep your head high the next morning you go out. You were down, but you did not bow. You did not rush to people who hurt you repeatedly out of choice. </p>

<p></p>



<p>You got up and choose to stay you. And that is amazingly brave. What you are doing takes great character and strength. And I am proud of you. Don’t worry, the storm won’t last that long. But the sun will. Then your soul will smile like a happy, blooming flower. Big Hug. </p>

<p>And with that, 2022 comes to an end!</p>



<p>A year which was a roller coaster ride of highs and lows. A year that not only saw the most broken and weakest side of me but also, the strongest. </p>



<p>Some people and some bonds fade away and there are times when you can’t bring it back to normal, no matter how much you try. On the other hand, some people and some bonds stay. Even in the darkest times of your life, you’ll find the few people who always stand by you.</p>



<p>Take time for yourself to be the best version of you. This year has not only made me value friendships but also value myself more.</p>



<p>To the ones who wanted to cry but took a deep breath and decided not, to stay strong, you are the real hero. I hope 2023 gives us everything we’ve prayed for. </p>



<p>2023, we’re ready for you. Please be filled with more love and less pain.</p>

<p class="has-black-color has-text-color">There’s something about conversations. Speaking your heart out to someone who you know is there for you, no matter if it’s 3 in the morning or afternoon. Venting yourself when you’re hurt, confessing when you know you’re wrong, sharing all the little joys and sorrows and everything in between with someone who is ever ready to hear your rants.</p>



<p class="has-black-color has-text-color">It’s not always about talking, sometimes it’s more about sharing. When you know you have someone on the other side of the door, waiting for you to ask about your day, to pass on words of encouragement on your terrible days and to hear everything that you hesitate to speak, you know how special he/she is and how you can never resist talking to them. </p>

<p class="has-black-color has-text-color">When on days you’ve nothing to share or express, even then all your heart wants is to sit beside them, look into their eyes and confabulate. Words may not be enough to express, but then you know when you have your favourite person in front you can talk about anything and everything even if it’s not worth the time because what’s better than talking to the one who makes you feel like someone wanted to be heard. </p>

<p>In life sometimes, everything will not go the way you planned.<br>You may not get that much coveted promotion even though you deserved it completely.<br>Someone you trusted with your life may let you down.<br>Someone you loved with all your heart may walk away.<br>You may lose a loved one.<br>Worse- you may lose yourself.</p>



<p>It is okay to mourn when this happens. It is okay to feel sad. It is okay to retreat into your shell when life gives you a beating.</p>



<p>But it is not okay to stay there for longer than is necessary.</p>



<p>It is important to come out and FIGHT. It is important to live well. Do things that bring you joy. No point in stressing over something you can&#8217;t change. Move on and grow stronger.</p>

<p>Life is indeed short. Very short.</p>



<p>Whatever did not work out, accept it. If you can&#8217;t accept it then change it. </p>



<p>You will see this for yourself, maybe two years from now. Every bad experience makes you grow, teaches you something.</p>



<p>Keep your heart and mind open.<br />Love.<br />Express yourself.<br />Dance.<br />Listen to Music.<br />Do what makes you happy.</p>



<p>GROW.</p>



<p>Wishing you luck and peace<br />And loads of laughter.</p>

<p>Today very strange feeling I got. Trust me, I know for no reason at all. And I try convincing myself that it’s okay. That everything is fine. I don’t know what happens to me. This feeling that I feel- shitty, absolutely shitty, I don’t know why I feel like that today.</p>



<p>This is like universe telling me that I’m always meant to be alone, at the end of the day.</p>



<p>Sometimes I feel my mind is my worst enemy. I try to fight it. It’s the worst fight anyone ever has to fight- the fight with one’s own mind. My mind is a freaking war zone.</p>



<p>I write it all down when I’m a little calm. Because I have to. Because writing is the only thing anchoring me to sanity.</p>



<p>I don’t know what even triggered all this in the first place. I don’t know what happened. </p>



<p>It’s late now. I try to lie down. Get some sleep. Hoping to drift away in a good dream.</p>

<p>I am very humbled to be appreciated by a stranger in a way in which hardly anyone saw me.</p>



<p>Sometimes in the rut of life, we forgot to see the beauty within us..</p>



<p>But to be subject of a good writers fantasy of metaphorical comparisons elates me from the core of my being<img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>I express my gratitude to God of having been a motivation of someone&#8217;s beautiful poetic expression..<img src="https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/mu-plugins/wpcom-smileys/twemoji/2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Eyes of a deer, and velvety skin</em><br /><em>She walk like a temptress with a dimpled chin.</em><br /><br /><em>Her eyes speaks language of a billion stars,</em><br /><em>She comes close to me and yet so far..</em><br /><em>Just look at way she moves..</em><br /><em>She moves like a queen..</em><br /><em>She walk like a temptress with a dimpled chin.</em><br /><br /><em>Those lips are so luscious, you just can&#8217;t miss..</em><br /><em>I wish to hold her closer and plant a deep kiss..</em><br /><em>That soft neck of her, it&#8217;s a playground for sin..</em><br /><em>She walk like a temptress with a dimpled chin.</em><br /><br /><em>God used finest marble to make that gorgeous body&#8230;</em><br /><em>Everything is so perfect, not an inch of a shoddy..</em><br /><em>Let me just wrap her in my arms, and kiss off her sheen..</em><br /><em>She walk like a temptress with a dimpled chin&#8230; </em></p>

<p>Whatever brought you to where you are today did not come by chance. You rose because of the decisions you made. You might have made a few choices which seemed absurdly silly and foolish in retrospect. There might have been things that went out of your control no matter how much you tried to make it go the way you wanted it to.<br><br>You might have spent sleepless nights over the outcome, asking questions, wondering, wishing to be somewhere else but where you are.<br><br>But each one of those times, when your prayers were not answered, when your hopes were dashed, when people you depended on left you stranded, you were growing in character and in mental strength. You were learning life&#8217;s lessons, as hard as it might have seemed at that time.<br><br><strong>We make mistakes.We&#8217;re here to learn.</strong><br><br>Forgive those who caused you hurt. It might be hard. But that by itself is one of life&#8217;s greatest lessons if you think about it.</p>



<p>Smile a lot.<br>Be kind.<br>Appreciate.<br><br>But most of all never ever stop chasing your dreams.</p>

<p>Valentine’s Day, some hate it some love it. But one thing is for sure, it does not matter. The tradition started as early as the 5th century during the Roman empire.</p>



<p>As the years went on, Valentine’s Day now a days become commercialised by companies hoping to make a profit.</p>



<p>Buying gifts, flowers and chocolates to show we love someone? We shouldn’t have to give a gift to show this. Being there in times of despair is more important than buying chocolates.</p>



<p>Valentine’s Day creates this illusion of treating your partner special on this one day. If you’re in a relationship, you should not make one day out of the year, “a special day” where you treat each other nicely. Love comes from the heart, not from what you give to someone. Love is more powerful than things. It’s something special, something we can’t explain.</p>

<p>If you are true to someone you don&#8217;t need a particular day to express your feelings, you can make them feel special daily by giving your precious time and that is more than enough. If somebody wants to stay with you they will definitely stick to you at any cost, they don&#8217;t demand expensive gifts, only thing they need is time.</p>



<p>Relationships have more or less lost their meaning in current times where people want to fit in a certain cycle of events (proposals, courtship, dates, drives, romance, breakups) rather than making any sincere attempts with an aim to make things work. People fake to prove they&#8217;re in for the long haul. In reality they&#8217;re just exploring.</p>



<p>Today’s generation people just celebrate Valentine&#8217;s day to show off. There is no actual love showcasing behind it.</p>
