Our bodies is our home.

~An ode to my body~ 
Irrespective of all the seasons that have passed by, my body still remains supple and full of life. 
It tells me brave tales of persistence and pushing through. 
My body extends itself beyond it's functionalities and purposes to teach me lessons of rebirth, kindness and the power of softness.

Our bodies is our home. Give it love, give it nutrition and it gives back health and sustainability. 
If you're struggling to love yourself or the body that you were born in. Take it as slow as you can. List down 5 parts of your body that you admire the most. Not just for its attractiveness but how well it functions for you. 
Thank your arms for getting things beyond your reach. Thank your shoulders for carrying the weight of your intelligent brain. Thank your legs for taking you places and letting you explore. Thank your skin for its adaptability, how well it protects you and keeps your vital organs safe. Thank your heart for giving you an opportunity to live every second.Thank your body for servicing you endlessly through the years. 
It's time for you to appreciate and look at yourself and your body with all the love and affection you can give. 
Come back home to yourself ♥️🌻✨

    That's a beautiful way to put it. I had a lot of insecurities as a teenager and now I learnt to love myself 💛

A Writer

  Your words were a permanent impression in my mind. Even though my fingers smudge the ends of every word written with fresh ink all over me, in attempts to touch it - a fool's attempt to think that those words were as tangible as you. But yet the smudged letters were readable. Soon enough the words felt more tangible in fact it was the only tangible thing as the writer ceased to exist, leaving only shattered dust and scrap in my memory. But the words remain. Smudged and faded yet the words remain. And now I am in search of a new writer whose application would fill this empty seat and remain there to write the same poem on my mind over and over again.

Letters to my love

Dear love, How are you, my darling? I hope you are happy and well. You ask if I'm well too Well, what can I say, The past few days have been crazy, euphoric, and more than just content, even though I was hardly sober this entire week. A rush of making good memories seems to be the agenda with my life right now. With the flow I go, loving each step I take. I walk hand in hand with laughter and joy, gripping it tightly in my palm as it dances in its own tunes. I'm not ready to let go of it just yet. This moment feels so beautiful and imperfect. A bit of tears and a lot of hugs and grins is all the medicine this lonely soul needs.Small doses is enough to mend my soul that’s been scratched all over and stamped upon. I'm not sure if this will last more than this minute. I'm not sure if I would ever be as happy as I am now. But one thing's sure this minute, This Millisecond I am happy. Right now, it's 3am and I'm sleepless and hungover, as I watch the dark sleepin

Stained cloth

    How do you scrub the memories away and start anew?  It has left a big dark stain on a beautiful white cloth that's never been touched before. The way the cloth holds onto the stain, you'd forget it wasn't meant to be a part of it. You continue in your oblivion. You go on believing if it wasn't for the stain, the cloth wouldn't be anything but blank and empty. In a way, the stain is the cloth itself. What is the cloth without it? Like a dried bloodstain that only gets darker with time, it clings and deepens onto every fiber. Years go by, some days you completely ignore the stain, while other times, you can't help but focus on its darkness. It pulls you in again and again. And so one day, you decide to be done with it once and for all, you rub the cloth with both hands as you watch the water carry the bleeding red. While you try your best to get the stain off by tugging and pulling, you now see what was once white, has a tinge of red spread all over the cloth.
