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

Now read it again

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

Mantra Meditation - A Miraculous Journey

Wow its been a month (almost) from the last time I posted...! I humbly apologize for my inconsistency in posting articles. Jumping into today's article, I'm here to share my experience with Mantra Meditation, which is so much more simpler than it sounds. for representational purposes only The basics, to my knowledge, is that one chooses a mantra/affirmation/prayer/verse that they believe strongly in (or are trying to believe in) and meditate on that by simply focusing all their energy in the process of chanting. The beauty is, this method is so simple and easy, requiring very little effort and can even be done purely by listening to the chanting (though actually chanting it gives a much better feel). Now this chanting can be done by oneself or in a sangha (a community) and I highly recommend community chanting because: 1) It gives you motivation to repeat the process and make it an integral part of your routine 2) It gives you a sense of accountability because you feel obl...

Why I Trust the Universe

In the isolation period that is now the norm in this pandemic afflicted era, I asked myself question upon question about who I was, what my purpose was, why I had even chosen this lifetime to enter this planet, what was the reason behind my birth, why did I have to do some regretful actions, why did I have to go through some terrifying trauma, why, why, why? And all I got in the end, quite unsurprisingly, was a headache that refused to leave me, a mother and sister who requested me to pipe down in the quest of family history and an unquenchable curiosity that threatened to burn me. Temporarily quitting my rather unsatisfying journey that gave me more questions to ponder on the illogical answers I got, made me think something was wrong with me for wanting those answers. Or was that the case...? As I idly went down memory lane, more to experience a feeling of nostalgia and hardly to start the 'Why?' game again, a beautiful epiphany popped up which blew my mind in its simplicity ...

Karmic Forces (1) - Conversations

This is the first part in a 6 part fictional story series. Everything in this story is purely imaginary with inspirations from real life. Any resemblances to any person or occasion in real life is completely coincidental. 1. Conversations Tired out by the activities of the day, Miraa changed into her loose yellow t shirt and black pants, turned on the AC, curled up in her bed, comforter carelessly strewn over her feet, nose hooked inside a book, eyes and mind engrossed in its contents. She was a 20 year old college goer, with small, brown eyes, a rather flat nose, a set of imperfect, yellowish, crooked teeth and with wavy, shoulder-length, black hair now tied in a characteristic bun, with a milky complexion. As she continued reading, a chill went down her spine. The chill had nothing to do with the atmosphere provided by the air conditioner nor with the gripping story of the book. A feeling of being watched, almost that of being quietly examined, suddenly made her feel vulne...
