“When you hit rock bottom, you feel it.
You break down, walls crumbling until you’re free-falling. The feelings that you tried to run from suddenly rush up around you in an unstoppable force, the gravity of your thoughts now nothing but a punishing plunge.
When you slam into the bottom, that landing jolts you all the way to your very soul. You hit hard, and it cracks the very foundation of the world. The ground fragments beneath you, lines stretching far and wide.
And then you’re left, a pile of rubble.
But I realize something as I lie here, surrounded by the destruction of my plummet. These cracks that have spread out from my caustic landing, they’re not evidence of my ruination.
They’re paths.
Each jagged line leads from me and then diverts away, showing me all the different ways I could go from here. But I’m also in my mind, staring at the fissures around me, seeing where each one leads. Because now that I’m forced to feel what I didn’t want to, I have a decision to make.
I can choose to stay stagnant here, at the bottom of the cliff, broken and unmoving. I can rage, I can wallow, I can blame, I can hide. I can let the severed parts of me sever all the rest.
Or I can get up, dust myself off, and look back up. I can find a path that ensures I’ll never fall again, ensures that I don’t lose any more parts of myself. All I have to do is turn and follow my feet, one step at a time.
So that’s what I’ll do.
I let myself cry until all my tears dry up. There is no choked breathing or scrunched up nose. No pulled lips or furrowed brow. This is the suffering of the silent. A hurt so deep it doesn’t show itself on a face.”
― Raven Kennedy, Glint

“دل کی سرزمین" (Dil Ki Sarzameen)
میری دل کی سرزمین پر
کبھی اولے جو تھے برسے
میری فصل بھی مٹی اور
میرا آشیاں بھی ٹوٹا

مجھ میں جو رہتے تھے
میرے جو ہوتے تھے
نہ تو اُن کا نام کہیں
نہ کہیں نشان چھوٹا

جو چھپے تھے راز دل میں
جو تھی اُن سُنی کہانی
وہ کِتاب جل گئی اور
بنا مدفن ہے اُس کا”

“A subtle twist in the corridors of perception,
I am not what the mirror reflects or the thoughts insist.
Neither my own echo, nor the orders of others,
I am a shadow of thoughts, the dance is yet to come.

In the theater of the mind, perceptions come together,
I am not what I claim to be or your judgments define me.
A fleeting mirage, a game of illusion,
I am shaped by reflections, a profound fusion.

I am not my own thinker, nor a projection of your mind,
I am a silent echo, a complex reflection.
In a kaleidoscope of perspectives, I find,
I am what I see in your eyes, connected.

Yet beneath this mask, one truth stands clear,
I am more than the whispers others can hear.
Beyond the veils of grandeur of perception,
I am the essence of myself, the splendor of the soul.”
― Manmohan Mishra

“To lovers out there .…

People who don’t like you , love you or who are not into you. Get offended by smalls things you say or do. You don’t have to say or do wrong things.

― De philosopher DJ Kyos

“Companionship is truly about being loving – in the present continuous. It means being available, being present or just being a good listener. You may not really be able to solve your companion’s problems or be able to reduce their pain. But being there for them, being loving, is all that you need to do. Or, in some cases, if being left alone is what they want, respecting that need and staying away from them is also a way of being loving.”
― AVIS Viswanathan
