The Epiphanies ~ 1

The fact that I’m sitting here, writing these words is a miracle. one day  I would not have been here on this earth .

Having lost something so big has taught me to appreciate the littlest things. I am blessed that I have my eyes to see the vividness in the green trees. I am blessed to have my sense of smell, so I can inhale .  I am blessed to have my ears, so I can listen to the sound of my mother’s laughter. I am blessed to have my lips so I can speak to Bapi  . I am blessed to have my hands so I can hug my little brother. I am blessed to have my legs so I can still walk on this earth. I must remember that I am blessed.

There’s no right or wrong way to heal. Some days healing might mean sharing your story. Other days healing might be getting out of bed to take a shower. Both are equally important. ⁠ people say things like " it gets better " and it does ............... but not always everyday .some days are good ,some days are bad , but healing to me feels like the bad days are fewer and fewer when mixed into the good days .

sometimes healing looks like speaking out loudly and sometimes it looks like just getting out of bed .its not linear but it is a process . most importantly  , it is YOUR process . holding space for yourself and not punishing yourself is so important  . we set impossible standards for ourselves about healing , moving forward or how we think our life should look like . take a moment today and remember everything is ok .

When I feel the monotony of my day turn into sheer pain, the only thing I can really do is stop and appreciate whatever I may be doing. 

Just stop and listen to the words in the movie I am watching. 

Just stop and feel the soft fur on my dogs, and give them a million kisses. 

 Just stop and embrace the hot water on my body in the shower. 

Just stop and look at my surroundings. Just stop and take in the sweet taste of my favorite candy. 

We should just stop for a second, because one day we may not be able to start again.

So let’s aim for the moon, walk together in the darkness and catch the glittering stars along the way.

Umraan main saariyaan ji layiyaan
Roshni main saariyaan pi layiyaan
Rangaan di kahaaniyaan chakh chakh ke
Main te haan ungliyaan chat gayiyaan

Darrta hai Raaton ka andhera
Duum daba ke voh to bhaagega jab aayega savera
Aasmaan mein Suraakh tu bana de
Uss paar hi to hai na Din ka basera

. kindness and love ever ..

will and shall be with you soon ..
