Courage is not always loud. Sometimes it's a gentle voice of your heart telling you not to give up on things you would otherwise.

डूबते हुए तैराक को उम्मीद की नहीं
उसे बचाने के लिए बढ़े हुए हाथ की ज़रूरत होती है

ज़िन्दगी में जितनी भी बातें सीखीं,
उन सबमें-
'तुम्हारा ख्याल जितना तुम रख सकते हो
उस हद तक कोई दूसरा नहीं रख सकता'
सबसे ज़्यादा महत्त्वपूर्ण था

If you won't save yourself, nobody else will. Your last hope is you and not someone else.

"Take care of yourself."

"Of course. If I won't, then who else will?"

There are times you are in a constant war with yourself.

There are days when I am not at my best.
So much, that the mere thought of waking up from dreams haunts me.
The reality seems so fragile that I want to disown it.
But I know, I know in my heart that I can not.

In my dreams, I am entirely my own.
The people I love, they love me back too.
They don't judge me for being whoever I am. Neither I am there alone.
In reality, it's the opposite.

In my dreams, I say to them what I want to.
I tell them, how much I have missed them for ages,
how much important they are to me despite our differences.
In reality, I am unable to.

My best days flew away like a fast-moving cloud.
And all that is left now is my loneliness and shroud.
But I wonder whom can I reach out to?
Everyone seems so busy in their own life that I feel I am helpless too.

My dreams and reality are at constant war with themselves.
I am failing constantly in my reality and winning in my dreams.
But I don't want to win my dreams.
I want to score average in reality if winning is too much to ask for.

How unfair it is to decide already in your mind that they would be fine with being treated in a certain way and labeling yourself as an empathetic person!

Most often humans can not control everything that they think they can. However, they like to live in the illusion that everything is under their control because it makes them feel good. Who does not likes to have complete control over their life? But then, was life meant to have control over everything? Certainly not. The wisest of all were the ones who knew where to draw the line between having control of very few situations and cribbing over what could not have been in their hand anyway. They knew what to let go of and what to keep working on with the time being without feeling guilty about their capability because it is often not our ability but the choices that define us.

Whatever I have experienced - good or bad, whoever I have met- friends or rivals, wherever I have gone- small towns or metropolitan, all of them, I believe all of them have made me stronger, hopeful and a better person than I was earlier. Yes, a few experiences have broken me down like I never thought before and I am yet assembling the pieces of it to make me whole again. But I have a strong hope that I would do that someday, I would shape myself like a Potter shapes his pot patiently and I would rise again like a Phoenix. And I would evolve into a much better person than I am today.
