  • In all her glory

    There is no dearth of strong ladies around me.

    The ones now living life on own terms but having come out of bad relationship in the past.

    The ones stuck in sanguine relationship yet financially dependent on someone else.

    The single ready to mingle kinds who battle societal pressure everyday.

    The ones in a fulfilling relationship but striving to build an identity outside it.

    The ones having lived their lives fulfillingly and now asking almighty for an end.

    The ones who put their best foot forward everyday for their kids, despite being looked down upon.

    Tons of females out there who fit this description. But a handful have given me a sneak peek into their lives. Displaying resilience and fortitude, working towards their goal laboriously. Every interaction leaves me inspired and awed; often motivating me to take a balanced view of my own life.

  • Legacy of strength

    Strength to stay true to your words.

    Strength to stick around your main characters.

    Strength to stand by, through thick and thin.

    Strength to get up from a fall.

    Strength to abide by your decisions.

    Strength to keep the vows you took, silently.

    Strength to love without attachment and give without expectations.

    Strength to face the past, dream the future and live the present.

    May the strength be with you ๐Ÿ––

  • Wonder wall

    They said something gross, you got angry. They didn’t speak up, you got angryย  They did something, you got angry. They did nothing, you got angry. There’s a pattern you see, it seems it isn’t them but you after all.

    Whether they do or don’t, say or not, you expect more and you get attached to the outcome. You center it upon yourself and equate it to your worth. And that my friend makes you angry.

    The action, the words, the behaviour is there’s to decide. Your reaction to it is solely your realm. Preserve it, guard your happiness, maintain your equilibrium and protect your inner peace. Shamelessly. Because only you can shelter it, nurture it and derive strength from it.

    Don’t wait for a prince or princess charming to rescue you, be your own protector. Be your wonder wall.
