SHE'S ME

        

I'm the girl you called a liar
I'm the girl you called a thief
I'm the girl who cried herself to bed
I'm the one who wished she were dead

I'm the girl who begged to be included,
I'm the girl you called a loser
It's me you bullied.
that you cut with your words
It's me who believed,
that she was unwanted and cursed.

But now, I've grown , Brave and Strong 
No more a victim, But a glorious survivor

       


I read books, like they tell my story
I sing songs , for they free my soul
I love old places , maps and history 
Chocolates and travel, mysteries aplenty

I dance madly , with all that's in me
I laugh loudly , with no restraints
I dream big, with stars in my eyes 
I move freely, with no constraints 

I love, I laugh, I cry , I fall
I shout and scream my frustrations aloud 
I dance, I sing, I smile and fight 
I am me , unashamed and proud 

                                                         

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

What is your dream? 
Each and every one of us have a dream. Something that we want more than anything in life. Something that almost seems too good to be true- THE one thing you would do if you could do anything!
When people generally choose careers, they focus on several things like the money they would earn, the time taken for training and the job demands. Yes, these are certainly important. 
But, the problem arises when they forget to question exactly what they want from life and use this answer to fuel their choice.
 The result? Discontentment, A feeling that something is missing and a lack of real sense of purpose in life. 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS?

1) When you follow your dreams, work becomes enjoyable. 

Lets face it, our work - our profession is one of the most important things in our adult life. When you are not happy with the work you do, it feels forced. You are unhappy and this unhappiness translates into other areas of life. 
On the other hand, when you do the work you love, you look forward to it. it becomes something you WANT to do, rather than something you are forced to do. It gives you happiness .

2) Want - the greatest motivator

Want or desire is one of the greatest motivators there is. When you really want something, you don't let anything or anyone stop you from getting it.
So, when you do the work that you want to do, you push yourself to the limits. You work harder and longer than you ever thought was possible. Your creativity blossoms and you innovate like never before.

3)Your chances for SUCCESS increase
                      
                              

SUCCESS. this is such a ambiguous word isn't it? While definitions of success vary, one thing is clear. Those who succeed always give in more than what is expected of them . They DON'T give up. They may repeatedly arrive at dead ends but they still persevere.
When you care about what you do and are really passionate about it, You are willing to go the extra mile. You are willing to keep on against all odds and ultimately you achieve your dream.

4) What-ifs are NOT your reality

One of the worst things that can happen when you grow old, and look back on your life,  is to question what your life has been all about. 
Where has all the time gone? what do you have to show for it? 
The What-Ifs haunt you. WHAT IF  , you had followed your dreams? WHAT IF , you had not let self doubt, fear or excuses stop you from doing what you want? WHAT IF?
When you follow your dreams, this is not your reality. You take a chance on your dreams. You pursue them and open yourself up to all opportunities. 
Yes, you make mistakes. Yes, you get knocked down now and then. BUT, you at least tried! You gave life your best shot. 
                                
                                    


Remember, life is short. you only live once . So why waste this precious life doing something you hate?

:(:

By day she smiles, she laughs aloud
her infectious joy was praised by the crowd
By night she cries, silent and hidden
pain smothered by pillows, cries, softened



Filled with hurts of years past,
Filled with hatred for who she is 
Overwhelmed with problems, both true and false.
Crying out into the sky so vast

Driven by desperation, dark and keen
Tired of pain! craving release
A saline solution, she discovers is key
so she toasts to herself and drinks on three





She cries and cries , bent over the bowl,
begs for forgiveness, from the one above
Agony to anger, anger to hatred
Till at last she purges, her sorrow, dangerous 

Now,
Now she's relaxed, freed from the dark
on a laugh she rises, shakes herself out
A smile she flashes, blinding and bright
To the world, she returns , a beacon of light

This cycle, it continues - day in and day out
No one suspects! Not a single doubt
Joy by day , desolation by night
Till slowly ... Slowly she fades and loses the fight 

HEARTWARMING NO.2

Hello! This is another heart warming incident I came across while in the bus . 

I was standing in a medium-crowded bus and was looking out of the opposite window.  A women and her son sitting in the second row caught my attention. This woman was really young, around 22 and her son looked like he was around 5. At first glance I thought he was her cousin or nephew, but then, I noticed the mangalsutra around her neck and... he called her Amma when they got off the bus. 
Anyway, this lady was sitting quietly and her son was falling asleep. She had several bags on her lap and around her feet. Yet, she twisted her body into what looked like a very uncomfortable posture to support his head so he would not jerk awake. She did not even show a twinge of discomfort. Instead , she looked down at him with a soft smile.
This was really heartwarming. Its just an example of the things our loved ones do for us. Things we don't even realize, Things we don't ever thank them for, yet show the amount of love they have for us :)
