SHANKS thanks ;)

In the marathon called life

I met so many passers by,

Yet when he ran with me, 

I realised I preferred walking this time.

I wished time may go slow

I wished this feeling may grow

Of being loved and being with him

Looks like life unfolded me to him!

He doesn't make my things simple

He never compromises

He doesn't buy my yes or no

He says if it is about me....things can't be just so-so !

He waits...he stays.....

May it be dawn or midnight...

If it is about me,

He makes sure everything is perfect..is right.

Somedays he says ....he should have been a better HE ...that too for me.

but then I tell him...then he wouldn't have looked for me :)

I am happy he was bold...

I am happy he was more than nice

I am happy he took all the efforts

To make me call him "mine"♡

Lets just live everyday.

Let me cry for this one time...

For the things I left behind.

Even though....Life is beautiful....more beautiful than I could have thought...

Even though this was not ....never my plan.

Even though I could have never been this blessed...!

Even though I grew out of the chaos that I never addressed!

Not always...did I have someone beside.....

There were days when darkness surpassed light,

Somedays when I managed to survive,

And some when I questioned the purpose of a human LIFE! 

I still don't have the answers...

but now I don't look for them....

NOW....I just live!

I live in the moment...as if

That is all I will ever have...!

SO !

To every person, I ever knew,

I wish you stay happy, healthy in this life.

May you realise 

Life is too short to judge and weigh!

Lets just live and let others live their way!

May we just stay humble and kind

May we always pray to God....

To have strength when we are faced with hard times!

And of all of this ....May we not blame the good or the bad....

May we be human.......because only humans can forgive, can understand! 

You make my world!

Looks like it took a while

But because I have had you all..... all this time

Even if things don't end up beautiful and nice

I will be content to just have you in this life❣️

My siblings were already in his written plans....but Shreyans! You were his surprise element....🐣😁

My busy friend

I know we are adults, now

I know back then we were kids

But I didnt know..

Before sleeping on my worst of days.....

When I will count my blessings....

I will always count you ! My friend! 

I never wish to go back in time....

But our times together makes me nostalgic!

I remember everything so clearly

As if it was yesterday we met.

Became friends and had those

Talks and walks :)

I wish I really could pen down 

Every moment of happiness 

And moments of despair too

Thinking of this, I realise

The times are worth remembering 

Because I had you to back me up!

True! THAT time has become a beautiful memory now...

But I am still here and so are you!

Lets be friends !

We are on this earth for a very small time

Lets atleast try :) 

Like water....I flow

 When I was 18

I always wanted to foresee

What will I end up being !

Today I am 35

And like 18, I wish to forsee

What will I be at 50 ;) 

I never wish to go back

Change things in the past

Because every thing I did,

Was what I felt - was the right thing to do

At that time!

If I were to define my journey 

I would call myself a river

That went with the flow!

I have never stopped!

Even when faced with criticism 

When I felt unwanted

When I felt aimless

When I fell and gave up

gave up my most cherished things in hand.....

I never gave up on myself !

And looks like 

The writer of my story...

Levels me up....when ever I tried :) 

And I tried my best!

- my sister says this has come to me from my father - the character of not giving up....and giving the best shot when hardest hit :)

Do not hesitate

 

I do share texts, quotes 

With friends and family

But I never advice people.

Yet if some day....

If I really have to give some advice...

I would ask people to NOT HESITATE!

I will tell....them.....

You and I are here for a very small time,

Wouldn't it be better to share our ups and downs

Talk more.....

Learn from each other's experiences 

May be the way you feel

Is exactly how I feel too! 

May be you have cloudy days 

But I am all drenched in rain!

May be people around us 

Are...waiting for us to open up:) 

And we fear they will judge or 

pity us!

May be they are waiting for someone 

To show courage too! 

May be they are waiting for someone 

To show up.....just like me and you! 

Mother - a special being

 My mother says,

"Spend the first day of NEW year, 

As you want your whole year to be"

I spent this 1st of January

Lying on the bed

All sick and tired !

"Does this mean the whole year 

I will be sick ?" I asked her

To which she replied,

"No! This means now you should eat healthy, do some yoga and take care of yourself!"

***

I too am a mother of two

I know how many stories I make each day

For them....I am like a god!

They believe me and love me

Even when I don't trust myself!

Did God really sculpted MOTHERS..

With unconditional emotions!

Strength that no one can match,

Care that none can reciprocate 

And love that flows without expectations!

***

If a mother would start journaling 

No one would believe...

The countless emotional tides,

she experiences every day.

Yet she is there each day 

to not just survive 

But to live, laugh and love!
