The sense of belonging is what we all crave for at some point in our lives and while most of us find it at some place or the other, some of us really have a hard time realising the fact that not everyone belongs. Some of us are just scattered like those few rose petals that somehow fall off the flower and while it still is a rose petal, it no longer belongs to that rose. Neither does it belong to the ground on which it fell. It is just there, on it’s own. 

Some of us don’t feel like we belong to the home we were born, to the family we have and neither do we feel like we belong with the rest of the world. We spend most of our lives trying to fit in and feel what it feels like to belong somewhere and yet when we return back to our apartments at night and retrieve back into our shells, we feel this hollow feeling in our chest, this weird feeling of not knowing what to call ours and which place to call home. 

I hope someday we wake up and realise that we are our home. We were supposed to belong to ourselves. We were built to stand by ourselves and be our own family. We were not meant to belong to the crowd or to anywhere else for that matter. I hope someday we smile and finally get over the act of fitting in and gladly accept that even if the petal fell, it still is a rose petal and holds all the values of the rose and isn’t just a waste. You are still valuable even if you don’t belong.

"You handled it so well."

If only you knew. If only you knew how my hands trembled when no one was watching. How I stayed up late, staring at the ceiling, replaying every moment in my mind, wondering if I did the right thing. If only you knew about the doubts that whispered in my ear, telling me I wasn't enough, that I wasn't as strong as I pretended to be. I kept my smile in place, my voice steady, because that's what you needed to see. But behind closed doors, when no one was around, I fell apart. The tears I held back all day would spill out, and I'd let myself feel everything I'd been holding in. If only you knew how much it took to keep going, to keep pretending that I was okay when all I wanted to do was hide. You saw the calm, the composure, the smile that never wavered. But you didn't see the cracks, the moments when I doubted myself, the times when I wondered how much longer I could keep it all together. I made it look easy because that's what everyone needed to see. But ins...

This is now my era of setting boundaries!

-
I am finally removing myself from situations where I feel like I am not valued or treated well. I am now walking away from people who bring chaos into my mind or anyone who causes me too much pain. I am creating a border line between me and those who only give me emotional distress. I am also setting boundaries for being so kind or considerate to people. I am so sick of being taken for granted. And I am so exhausted from the abuse that I receive from people who keep hurting me or letting me down over and over again just because they know that I am very forgiving. This is my era of respecting myself and focusing on my well-being. I've already had enough of people treating me poorly and taking advantage of the kindness that I offer them genuinely. I am done believing that if I plant love, kindness, and compassion in people, it will also yield good results, and they will grow the same as what I planted. But I've seen so many ungrateful people, and I refuse to spend my life tolerat...

Right person, wrong timing?

-
 Meeting the wrong person at the wrong time is a myth. Because every person that we meet, they are either a blessing or a lesson. Either way, they were the right person at the right time.  Maybe they are the right person for us to raise our standards for us to know our boundaries or non-Negotiables.  Maybe they were the right person to leave us for us to know that we can stand in our feet.  Maybe they were the right person to break us so that we can build ourselves up on our own.  Maybe they were the right person but for a different reason than we expected.  ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT LIFE DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE PEOPLE YOU WANT BUT IT GIVES YOU THE PEOPLE YOU NEED. <3
