I know you are afraid of loving again, trusting again and getting hurt again. You are afraid to get attached to people, because past attachments have given you nothing but pain.
I know you have built your guards high up so that no one can cause you harm and break your heart. You just want to feel nothing and you numb yourself by hiding your heart behind the wall you have built.
So lower your guard and let go off the fear, because someone is always there to catch you and hold you tight.

Don't be hard on yourself,
It wasn't your fault that they left,
It wasn't your option to leave,
It was their choice to make.
They gave up,
And you fought.
They left,
And you stayed.
You loved,
And they played

Everybody once in their lifetime goes through a heartbreak. And this leaves them heart broken for days, months and sometimes even for years. It's okay to feel the pain, to mourn,to shed a tear, but for how long? It hurts bad, I know, but it is upto us to let it keep hurting or let it go.
This heartbreak causes a deep wound, a wound that cannot be seen but hurts the most and moreover leaves behind a scar, a mark that keeps reminding us about the pain.
It is easy to say "I am okay" to people around, but it is equally difficult to say that to yourself. Because deep inside you know that it is never going to be the same again. You realize that it is over now and forever and nothing can bring it back again. And so you slowly make up your mind and let it go.
Let it go at the bottom of the ocean.

I was your star,
But you were my sky,
I was your world,
But you were my galaxy.
Untill the day you chose to take me out of our little universe.

-

Loving them was your choice,
Leaving you was their's.
Caring for them was your duty,
Taking you for granted was their's.
You did all you could and they did all they had to.
So stop belittling yourself,
It is never your fault that someone chose to cause you pain.

I try to make my mind understand that it doesn't hurt.
Right then it hurts even more and even worse.
It feels like a knife stabbing through my heart.
The only difference is ,the wound is invisible and the pain ,unexplainable.

The worst thing after a breakup is going through the old conversations on your phone and realising that each word means nothing but the burnt ashes and the broken promises.

-

"I am okay..."
She said to her heart.
Her mind carefully whispered,
"Who are you trying to fool?"

-

Scrolling down our old conversation, I came across your message "I'll do everything to drag you out of the pain, I'll do everything he did not do, I'll never leave your side no matter what."
Eyes filled with tears ,I scrolled up and wrote " You did everything to push me deep into the pain, You did exactly the same he did, and then you left my side no matter how much I begged."

NORMAL is no more Normal

We are all waiting for things to go back to normal. To start a life that was normal. To live like we used to before 2020.
My dear friends, nothing is going to be normal henceforth.
If we go back to being normal, living normal life then we may have not learnt anything from all this chaos. And then, we will have lost it all. We wouldn’t be facing what we are now, if our living was normal and acceptable.
We now have to redefine NORMAL.
Because the NORMAL we had was not normal. The NORMAL we expect will never be Normal.
The simplest act of breathing will now come with much responsibility let alone the other complicated things.
It’s important that we define the new NORMAL as being Kind, empathetic, understanding, loving, sharing and caring.
At the end of the day it’s about survining together as one.
