Tryst with Destiny

 The thunderstorms are meant to be surpassed by the sunlight, the darkness is usually overshadowed by the bright, and the wounds are healed with time. I met you when I wasn’t ready to be healed, the storm was never willing to settle and the sun never hoped to shine. However, my heart could recognise the warmth, the calmness that surrounded you, persuaded me to cross the tunnel of overpowering thoughts and the darkness was willing to surrender. You somehow managed to revive the expectations of the 16-year-old and tried to convince the stubborn, hopeless 20-year-old to meet the younger version halfway.

You made her fall in love with every possible version she possessed, taught her to find hope in the little things and picked her up even though she wasn’t willing to start again. Your eyes conveyed a new story altogether, your innocence melted her heart, and your smile gave her hope. I could feel the air around, the freshness and the lost kindness that you brought along.  You revived the courage in me, taught me to start from scratch even when it felt impossible to and pushed me to challenge the limitations when I clearly placed boundaries.

The sixteen-year-old nearly got lost in the process of growing up, but you decided to re-build her every day little by little. Never letting the spark die, you taught me to evolve, moulded me into the version I could have never solely built.

The only question I ask myself every day is: Wouldn’t it be for you; would I have taken this journey all together? You came into my life to make me fall in love with destiny, with the process and definitely the little things that make the final destination all worthy.

The younger version has someone to look up to, the storm decided to pass and warmth of hope worked. She looked at herself and smiled this time, her heart was filled with hope and the courage pushed her. She knew she could do it, because you were cheering right back as always!!

Self-love or the journey of acceptance?

  What is the best piece of advice you would give to your 16-year-old self? Let me guess, going down the memory lane really ignited the risky roads travelled, the heartbreaks, the joy of being fierce and the hope of never stop believing. But honestly, you still wished to somehow meet the naïve version of yourself who foolishly danced to It’s a love story, baby just say yes by Taylor swift, the girl who fearless smashed the societal norms because she believed in the woman she was becoming, how her shine used to sparkle the entire room and how brilliantly she accepted her flaws knowing they all belonged to her. If you ask me, I really never believed in self-love, it was always reality that kept me going. I never really believed that things could majestically fall in place, I knew it was me who had to allow them to pass through that tunnel. Self-love for me is a debatable topic, I don’t purposely believe doing skincare or maybe dressing as your best self is known as self-love. It is the

  Had a rough night, but still decided to wake up the next morning and give it a fresh start?  Waking up with a feeling to conquer the negative emotions, taking steps to achieve what you have been manifesting for so long and hoping that things will eventually get better. You wish to see less of thunderstorms and more days full of sunshine and smell of fresh flowers. Our dreamland is full of roses, sparkling lights and our favourite fragrance. We wish to manifest the attractive parts of this dreamland into a completely different world, where everything is quite contrary to what we wished for, still we thrive every day to see things majestically change. What is helping us keep going? What is encouraging us to stand even after such harsh setbacks? The answer is quite simple, the hope that one day the dull and pale sky will be full of colours. The hope that nights will eventually turn into pleasant days and a beautiful rainbow shall appear in the sky after raining for so long. You are th
