That Special Someone

Someone who respects you,
treats you right, 
unconditionally loves you, 

who sees the beauty in your cracks, 
heals you, nurtures you, 
bears with your mistakes, 
forgives you, 
takes time-outs when the stress is too much 
but doesn't break the bond, 

who encourages you to be your best self, 
is your biggest motivator & cheerleader, 
celebrates your baby steps, 
has your back when you stumble and fall, 
never uses your insecurities against you, 
never puts you down or beats you up
never shames you for being yourself

who never forces you to do anything
who respects your privacy
gives you the time and space you need, 
expects nothing but to see you thrive 
in doing what you love, 
is always there to give you love and understanding 
no matter how your day went or how your life is, 

who has boundaries which you respect, 
stops you before you burn yourself out, 
acts like a sounding board for your ideas, 
gives you constructive feedback on your work, 
motivates you to be the healthiest 
and most authentic version of yourself, 

Who watches out for you, 
Who your close circles love & respect
Who is your: 
3 am friend, 
6 am good morning text, 
1 pm did you eat? , 
5 pm come home safe, 
8 pm I made a special dinner,
10 pm good night, 
all time 'I love you for who you are' person, 

who makes you feel comfortable to be yourself, 
laughs at all your jokes, 
knows all your sob stories, 
understands your triggers, anxieties and pet peeves, 
doesn't hold your past against you, 
pushes you to be better 
while giving you the belief that you are good enough.

Who is fiercely loyal and protective of you.
Who stands up for you no matter what.
Someone who is a safe home.
Someone you love spending time with
Someone who helps you feel happy and safe

And that someone who you totally deserve

Is Y O U

love you

Being your own special someone 
doesn't mean you are self centered, 
egoistic or shallow. 
It rather means 
you don't need someone to be your hero.
You can be there for others and for yourself too
It means you can survive and thrive 
by being your own Knight in Shining Armour...
and when the Universe decides to send someone special 
on your path, you will know your worth 
and how you deserve to be treated. 
You will know how to be 
a genuinely loving and supporting partner 
and will not settle for anything or anyone less

You can be an amazing person to someone else
only when you are an amazing person to yourself
To be relevant to someone else
you need to feel relevant to yourself

Love yourself
💖Love Your Goofy Self 💖

Thank you Tears & Triggers

Triggers were something I used to actively avoid. Because of the way they made me feel: restless, frustrated, angry, disappointed and a wide spectrum of uncomfortable feelings.  For the uninitiated,  Psychology Today Triggers are are similar to that burnt or itchy feeling we get around any bleeding scratches, stinging bites or broken bones. The pain is there for a reason, to inform us that something is out of balance. Most of the time, we don't need to do anything except wash the wound and rest in one place, allowing our body to give primary care to heal the wound and ensuring our energy is concentrated mostly in healing. The irony is, we have been taught to take rest when we have physical wounds; but not for emotional wounds, especially when it too needs similar care. "Toughen up",  "Man up",  "Suffer Silently",  "No pity parties",  "Don't cry for this and all", "Stop being a baby" are some common generalizations thro...

This Too Shall Pass

When you've done your best and stood your ground and nobody supportive seems to be around don't you dare give up on your stance repeat to yourself "this too shall pass" When you've cried yourself hoarse about your true feelings To a friend or partner, with whom closure you are seeking Even though it seems they don't validate your cry Don't you run behind them asking "Why?" When you've given all you've got to your dream and all you seem to get are struggles that make you want to scream Recall that roadblocks are blessings in disguise Some come to redirect you, some to make you wise When the storms in your life never seem to stop Leaving you with no time to clean up or mop Know that the storm itself is doing the clearing Of all the negativity from your garden of life When you've quit your toxic traits and started being your true self Don't be afraid of comments, critics, labels or shelves Those who matter to you, won't mind the ...

Shri Andal and Mirabhai - Two Trusting Saints with Unique Paths

(I have added additional information which reached me courtesy the readers of this post when it was first published, for which I am deeply grateful as these inputs have expanded the scope of this post) For the uninitiated, Mirabhai and Andal, though having manifested during different time periods in the same land of India, stand tall as one of the few women saints who had completely surrendered their lives to the Supreme God. Mirabhai stands as one of the greatest saints and songwriters of Rajasthan. Although there is a myriad of controversial debates questioning her factual existence and actual poems written, one cannot deny the brilliance in her simple poetical verses and songs describing her yearnings to unite with her Lord and adoration of the 'leelas' or divine dramas played by her bosom Lord Krishna (these are used to verbally garland the Divine Lord Shri Krishna in most parts of northern India to this day) Shri Andal incarnated a few centuries before the advent of Mira...
