What The Shadow Self Wants

Hug Drawing at GetDrawings | Free download
I want your love

Tell me you love my ideas
Tell me I did my best
Tell me that nobody else matters to you but me
Tell me you'll help clear out my fears

Give me your hand to hold on to
Give me your shoulder to cry
Give me a warm, affectionate gaze
Give me the belief that I'm the best

I know there are better people out there
With more drive, passion and love
I just want to know that I am
One person who makes your world explode with joy

Show me your acceptance of my nature
All the good, the bad and the in between
I have been taught to judge and hate my imperfection
I need your compassion for my peace

Take me to a place far away
Where the stars meet the sea
Hold my face in your gaze
As though within me, you see beauty

I don't need you to put me on a pedestal
I don't need you to put me down
I only want your acceptance, understanding and love
That tells me, no matter what, I'll be safe and sound.

Give me some sunshine 
Give me some rain
Give me another chance 
I wanna grow up once again...!

Cut the Crap to Step Into Your Power

For me, there are 3 types of people in the world:  The leaders , who work for their dreams silently, are proud of their work and reap the rewards with humility, thankful to the universe for its blessings, appreciate and help others and have the belief that they can achieve greater heights, which propels them to unlock their inner potential and never settle for too long on their laurels. The workers , who have no idea of their true potential and accept whatever they get to be what they deserve but still take some pride in what they achieve, never knowing their true power. The ones with a half baked, fake and toxic mindset , who outwardly downplay themselves so much that they appear to be doormats, inwardly feel smug and superior to some and inferior to others, easily manipulate others for their own gain and easy-to-manipulate, idly fantasize great achievements but are afraid to try going after what they want and secretly feeling jealous of others who achieve their dreams.  At m...

Breaking Away from Social Conditioning

I have learnt that people asking me questions was more out of curiosity and less out of care. I have learnt that no matter what I reply, they would stick to their judgement of me unless they choose to broaden their perspective. I learnt that what they thought about me doesn't matter What I think about me , however, does matter I don't need to seek approval or approve I need to seek acceptance of me by myself. Nobody is going to think better or worse of me. And the world will move on regardless of whether I follow my dreams or stick to comfort zones. I am not the center of the universe and there is no spotlight on me deeply analyzing my every move. Its all in my overthinking mind Anxiety, perfectionism, being an obsessive control freak, fear of rejection, fear of failure, constant seeking of external validation, is a by product of heavily and unnecessarily processing those opinions of the world, that need to be taken lightly with a pinch of dust. And I a...

Crossing the River - A Dilemma

A few days ago, I had a dream. One in which I was not in the usual rollercoaster of books, professors or food.  This time, unusually, I was on the banks of a river. It was eerily silent & uncannily rippling. When I tried to go closer to peek beyond the bank's edge, I found it difficult to move. My hand was gripping the handles of a very heavy bag & my feet were shackled to it. Surprised, I tried to free myself from the burden, thumping around my legs on the banks, extricating my grip from the bag's handle. Just when I managed to loosen myself, I heard a small crack - the rockmass in front of me was breaking apart. Startled, I remained still - the crack disappeared. "Oh give me a break! ", I sighed in frustration. Having spent the previous weeks breaking my head over case studies, projects and assignments, the least I had wished for was deep sleep, if not a pleasant dream. I opened that bag with my other hand. It contained a life jacket, a few packets of maggi ...
