    Day 13
    P-E-O-P-L-E

    Dear stranger,
    You know lately i was having a conversation with my dad about same old generation gap and i said "you know papa the world has changed now, its too tough here society sucks and you were lucky to grew up in good old days " and after i was done blabbering he said "world has never changed even a bit, its all the same people have changed society is nothing but us at the end of the day, we have became insensitive towards others, we ourselves are responsible for making survival tough, there was no such thing as golden era it was always about golden hearts " He smiled and left the conversation. And today I'm thinking about it over again and again thats yes that's how things are really. People around us, with us they make our world sometimes happier or mostly hell. You know all my life till date I have seen people come and go. Some merely promised to stay and some really did.

    You know there could be no divisions in homosapiens for sure but i still think there are two types of people first those who claim to love you and others those who really love you. There's no in between. Family friends relatives partners colleagues cousins omg!! So many people out there are actually taking up space in our lives and we are knowingly unknowingly actually shaped and nurtured in certain way under their influence. But i guess there needs to be a fullstop, an actual realization of who's important,
    Today look around and see who is still there, still there to hold you in your weakest moments,to cry with you to celebrate with you, to live laugh with you. Look around they are your people and don't be disheartened if you can count those numbers on your tips cause those who left were never meant to stay. They left and it was their choice, they could have stood with you, fought for you but they never did and that's how you should remember them.

    We're actually growing up in era of heartbreaks the more sad your pfp, playlist and feeds are the more cool and happening your life is. Happiness and smiles are underrated and its truth. No offence to anyone but its high time we start cherishing what we have, we start caring for the people who cared for us, adore the people.
    All the times when we said the meanest things, did the rudest things ever, throwed tantrums, cried our heart out, or spilled our secrets,all the times when we revealed our worst demons when we trusted them all those people who really stood with us in all those times are real ones, rare ones. Its high time we appreciate their love.
    Its high time we stop crying for ones who left, its high time to actually move on. Take love and spread love someone out there is really wishing for your good.
    Go adore them before they choose to abandon you!!

    Day -12

    F-A-M-I-L-Y

    Dear stranger,
    You know even if you spend a thousand nights roaming under citylights, even if million giggles escapes the curve of your lips in the crowd, even if you feel a daily doze of adrenaline rush but when the night comes and the crowd is gone we all are just an abandoned child craving for home. You know there's a difference between home and house you can rent a house anywhere where nothing resides except the materialistic luxury but a home is the place where love waits for you to come back, where you sleep without any concern, where you feel no boundaries and choose to be just yourself, where your dreams greets the reality , home is where your family resides . Family ~
    You know in childhood we all must have heard that stupid phrase that friends ends with "end" and family ends with "ily"Which means i love you.. So even if no one stays you will always see your family holding your back in each phase of life. It might be meaningful to some or maybe a silly interference to others no arguments on that but i always do wonder how important is someone's family in
    the process of hope and healing!!

    Family members are the lead characters of your every lifestory, they know the best and the worst of you. And just to be clear i don't agree with the fact that only blood relations are crowned with tag of family, for me anybody who just acts as a bridge between your hope and life, with whom you feel like home is your family . A friend, your lover, someone younger, someone older anybody can be your family in this world.

    But the more i think about it, i see the other side of the coin too which is not so silvery its dark, day by day as we are forgetting our values in name sake of modernisation i see the fading importance of family . At days i witness the parents dodging the bullets of their dreams, expectations, rules upon the shoulders of their young lad and sometimes its other way round, children being ashamed of their own parents, hiding their life problems from them, disrespecting them. I see the blood bond being devasted with green cash, the property papers are becoming more valuable than peace and unity. Some of families are supportive and some are just bit stiff I guess
    What do you think about this?

    Ok but even after all this i believe family is your forever escape from all miseries, not sure about others but your mom & dad they will always be a strengthening pillar for you. When you feel life's being too much instead of suffusing the invisibility cloak over your problems, for once try to talk about it, discuss about what's hurting you
    I believe and surely believe your family will help you out if not today then tomorrow for sure. Your success stories should be the happy moments cherished along with family. Coz obviously it's true there's no home without family and nothing feels like home in crowd ever!!

    Sending all warm wishes to you and your family ��❤
    Until then take good care of yourself!
    I believe in you always and forever!!

    Day -11
    E-X-P-E-C-T-A-T-I-O-N-S

    Dear stranger
    Have you ever felt that life's been so unfair to you like
    someone has literally given your address to all miseries and mundane moments, it feels like the trouble and uncertainties of life are knocking upon your door, the crowd is shouting and screaming and your heart's frozen stuck, numb at a place, you crawl around the bathroom floor to seek a breath of fresh air, you choke your head under the bedsheets to shut the echoes of negative thoughts, you just smile and cry and even fear your own shadow at times, no sunlight or silver moon grants you a ray of hope, failure is a big word and expectations is even bigger than this, it crushes down your chest with endless cries, you feel the nights are longest, the most fearful nightmares are blooming in your eyes, you feel the fear of missing out that even if you're present here does it even matter? And if you have ever felt so can i today say
    Hey buddy same pinch... !!

    Well i know your problems and mine problems are far apart but truth is we all are at war with ourselves on daily basis. But what makes a difference is " hope" Yess, i think the perception of looking at your problems makes a whole lot of difference one thing my father always quoted was that the mere difference between coal and diamond is the determination to shine and patience to suffer, to stand strong against all the heat and pressure, if you need to climb the cliff of success at times you will surely loose your breath, the avalanche of agitation, frustration will surely pull your body away, you may even slip few times but tell me if you just stop taking a further step over again how would you ever succeed right?

    They say if you never know how bitter is the failure,the sweet success will never quench your soul then it requires sweat and blood both to fulfill a dream,i won't lie by saying when we miss a hit and we feel we just let everyone down, the sinking expectations in our loved ones eyes doesn't ache much yes it hurts, it hurts insecurities self doubt are bound to creep in but the choice is yours to decide whether you just failed once or you're failure for life. Its always better late than never, its always better to take one step at least rather than being stuck at some pool of thoughts don't tell me i need to remind you about hare and tortoise now!! You know it, take your time, self analyse, shut the crowd and set your goals, hustle hard its just one life make it big. Hold on to bad days and trust your hardwork. Take motivation from expectations not get devastated by it ever.

    I believe in you��❤. Hope wait breathe and live.
    Take care until then you got me :) Always!!

    Day -10
    P-A-R-A-D-O-X

    Dear stranger!!
    Have you ever felt that life is no more about that sudden adrenaline rush or the jokes and joy no longer tickles your senses. It feels like everything has stopped except your continuous breaths, everything else is burning with fury except your cold nerves, everyone else has achieved something so big except you still being a speck of dust in cosmos like at days you feel numb and you wait, wait for eternity to actually feel something, something big to mark a memorable moment, something like that would shake your world upside down, moments which you will save forever in your hearts, stories that you will preserve to recite to your future generations, you just wait and life goes on and on. You don't feel the kick. Its more like a unwanted immutability that has been caging your cries and chaos, you plan and check or double check your every action to make sure life goes on that way but you fail coz life is not something to be suffused into some pie charts or gleeful days cannot be lodged in some graphs.

    They say every beginning leads to an end and when i look around i see this place full of paradoxes. Maybe we all are living one. We choose to cry but in solitude , we write about emotions but with stiffened wrists, we talk about blood wrapped in blue sheets, we chose to love but regret getting lost in love, we tend to touch the stars but then curse the heat that led to scars, we need help but we can't compromise over ego, we need a home but crush the harmony to merely find a house, we talk about
    friendships and then chase farewell, we chase rainbows but then hate the grey clouds, we seek peace but then personify the pain and the list goes on and on.!!

    We keep on waiting for something big , something strong enough to grab us out that waiting phase , we feel one day we will feel life, love ,happiness everything but what we forget to see is life is actually passing on bidding us goodbye in those little moments, every passing day is decorating our death bed and we fail to see it until its too late. We fail to whisper the happy melodies of sunrise while screaming at somber sunsets .

    But trust me all those little joys, little moments in your present are more fabulous, more peaceful than ever, more dramatic than any hit blockbuster movie, more big than you ever desired. Trust me on this. Trust the universe. Go grab it before its too late, before a big bang occurs and you found yourself drowning deep in shallow silence. Take good care of yourself. ❤

    Until then you got me. Sending you peace.

    Day 9.
    D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-O-N

    Dear stranger!!
    Hope this letter finds you in all good health and peace!
    You know i have been writing and erasing so many thoughts here for last 10mins , honestly I can't find a better start so today let me grab my pen and start a heart to heart talk, you ready na? Somedays you feel like life's going on way too fast, each day eyes face endless encounters with so many people, memories, crowd, chaos and every night we are left with venom of void, slowly gulping and piercing our sinking heartbeats, at days we don't even care to cry coz maybe we all have been habitual to all this right? Nowadays we talk too much and hear too much about life and death, about love and heartbreak, about peace and pain, about family and farewell, about everything and anything that might not even concern us, we talk about how everyone is struggling some way or the other, how we need all those bla bla things to sprinkle the elixir of immortal contentment and happiness on our scarred soul, we must have even heard and aware about the term Depression which is something i still might not be very well aware of it.

    I see the people of my age struggling to suffuse and make a space in so called social circles, i see the elder ones working day and night, surviving the self war to symbolise their worth in society, i observe the wailing women adapting to norms and rules of mob, i see parents shouting at children, i see children seeking care and appreciation, i don't know how to put it in words but if only i care to look around i find so much so of harsh scenarios that i fail to ink it down!! I wonder how hard it would be to breathe when a person finds it more easy to embrace death? I wonder how cruel life must be to break down at extent of being numb? I wonder do every other human face all of it or only a few ones are real warriors here?
    I wonder it all someday.. Do you feel the same??

    I know at days you feel like you and your problems are burden to others, you fix a hoax smile on your face just to shut all screams under it , i know it all trust me !!

    But today i want to let you know that you're loved and irreplaceable, you matter the most in this world,you're the strongest honestly i don't know what kind of pain you must have endured but i know and i have full faith on you ,you will come out of it soon, everything will fall back to place, trust trust the universe, never ever lose hope Coz maybe aftrr you're gone someone's life must be completely shattered without you, No problem is bigger than your patience!! Magic exists, ask for help if you need, communicate and let it go! Breathe...

    Until then i m here for you always and forever!!
    Sending you all warm hugs and positivity ��❤

    Dear stranger
    What is the biggest guilt/regret you have?

    • hopenotes_here @the_speccy_outsider honestly talking about being sad for no reason and how much their life sucks seems to be the coolest topic in my age group these days and i can't help but to hate it for sure, i do try to convince my friend circle that relax we are just growing up and ups n downs are normalllll... You have to face it and learn from it. That's it that's life. But i always feel like the more you talk about death or darkness it makes you cool blah ajeeb but sch.. I really wish to make a change even the slightest one.
      Your words are so comforting n wise ☺

      Yes fight
      Negativity ko positivity se murder krdene ka re baba.. Otherwise kya gunda bnega re tu
    • the_speccy_outsider Seriously! I too hear this often. It is not cool at all and repeating this again increases your depression. People don't get it. And as youngsters our hormones change which sometimes makes us feel sad which is normal, it is not depression. Depression is such a dangerous thing. People have literally given depression a different meaning. It is an extremely hard phase. You can't compare a heartbreak to depression.

      Yes, I too am trying my best to make a change. Let's keep doing it.

      Haa..... Ye pojhitivity ko lekar chalne hai re baba. Varna koi scheme kaam nhi aayegi
    • hopenotes_here @the_speccy_outsider wish i could gather all those Sickhead youngsters in a field and scream all of it from mic there
      Anyways...
      positivity se happiness double sirf 25 din me

    Day 8.
    A-T-T-A-C-H-M-E-N-T

    Dear stranger!!
    I know i know its been long since i wrote my letters to you (sorry× 100) hope you been doing all good and even if you're stuck somewhere, feeling a bit lost maybe confused about things life keeps on throwing upon you so i want you to know that just hold on a bit more, keep on dodging the bullets lil more, i know you're a fighter and you will make out of it more stronger than before!!

    Do you all remember that iconic essay line we all learnt in school umm umm lemme remind ~Human is a social animal... Yess i used it multiple times to fetch points in English or maybe social sciences answers too ~ you relate with me na?.. So ya earlier i never tried to dig deeper into this sentence but now when i look back i feel it has much more to teach and reflect the reality, we all need someone ,something always to smile, to shed tears, to put our shoulder on someone to share sorrows, to bump into a massive hug in excitement, to share that perfect click or maybe 2am midnight melodies , a bowl of sizzling noodles,a perfect chai partner ok coffee too coz chai coffee are bhai bhai :-) .. List goes on and on !!
    In short we all need attachments, solitude isn't a bad thing but still sharing and caring makes us feel alive isn't it?
    Attachments trace its origin right from the first cradle of yours to death bed, some bonds you get as gift of blood, some you get in early school days, some enters in your life as colleagues, a few as love life, and one fraction of sick heads is also one common thing we all got +_+
    In short, we go through daily episodes of love, suspense, tragedy, comedy, heartbreaks better call it horror!!
    But every coin has two sides, what if bond gets broken, what if all good people left you, some days grief greets you and damn you're done with all of it.. You feel guilty of trusting them, you feel tired of so called l-o-v-e !

    I know i would sound bit philosophical but truth is change is the only constant here, people are like wind they come and go but their memories is like soft zephyrs that cuddles with your broken heart, pain helps you to grow better in life , once you go through phase of complete darkness you actually start putting up chandelier in chaotic crowd, you start caring for others and that's what makes you more of a human!! So yes trust the universe for your life is like a never ending book and attachments are mere allegories scribbling verses of vitality, go through all of it and complete your life story! Never get tired of L-I-F-E ❤

    Until then you got me!! Keep smiling

    Day 7
    H A P P I N E S S

    Dear stranger,
    Yes you sitting behind the screen slowly scrolling down making up a tiny decision in your mind whether to read this full time essay kinda letter *-* or whether to just skip it down, hey you hold on this might be our first and the last interaction maybe you will never again came across my page or letters or me in person ever but today i want to say and remind you that somewhere at some part of the world someone is smiling and happy because someone purely stranger like you felt peace and maybe a tiny curve of smile said hello to your swollen eyes after you read some of my rants well that's what i do here if you're free give me a company someday :-) this makes me happy and that's what matters at the end of day..

    When seasons of childhood rocked my cradle of upbringing i traced my happiness in golden hair strands of Barbie dolls, sometimes in whistling noise of black toy cars, sometimes in 6 m long six in the gully cricket, somedays merely a random holiday in school or bunking coaching classes faking a stomachache or even just being the master of tv remote for an hour made my heart happy puppy. But slowly the peaceful lullaby got replaced by the rock melodies, peaceful painting over canvas found shelter in dark closet and sky was no more pink it was metaphoric grey and blue dipped in poetic ink of self chosen darkness, big dot kohl on forhead symbolising love was smudged under the perfect winged liner , blabbering lips were sealed with cherry lipsticks and shoulders were merely a cart pulling the lodge of career, ambitions and dreams twinkled in eyes so much that i forgot to count stars and crack jokes about chanda mama, i was so lost in f-r-i-e-n-d-s culture that my doremon stickers and colourful sticky notes felt abandoned, my not so big head talked about the mysteries of world , art of heart breaks and myths of love while the caged wild brat inside me still made a fuss about sharing a plate of noodles with siblings .. Lol slowly i realized world was not that complex as i wanted it to be yes ofcrs it's not a fairy tale or harry Potter world where "accio happiness "spell would put me in an utopia land but still walks of life taught me that it wasn't even the sort of demonic castle where we were chained and guarded with monsters with big eyes and untied hairs and long vampire teeths grining, howling just to have our skinny bones as their dinner no right :-D

    If we try to actually look out we would find that even when nothing feels right happiness and hope in someway or other knocks at your door, its only upto you that whether you're are courageous enough to go and open the door and welcome new beginnings or not... At days when you're up surviving the 3am nightmares, plug in some good melodies and scream and tap and impress the virtual audience with your killer moves, at days when you feel lonely put on the best dress and adore the confidence, explore the world go on solo trip ok forget trip i know you're broke just like me... So just move out watch the street cute dogs roaming around, flowers blooming amidst the thorns, sunsets creating biggest artwork in the welkin, mothers carrying their new born babies, old age uncles cursing the government lol just step out and see the beauty, happiness is simple, even getting a extra panipuri at end can bring a big idotic smile or finding a 5 rs coin over road can make you feel like winning a lottery,even a cup of tea and good sleep is enough for making your day you lazy panda.. So don't take too much pressure just one thing at a time, little things matters and all of it together lights up your life..

    Always remember you're beautiful and best and you fricking deserve every happiness out there just wait for right time and perform your karma!!

    So are you planning to visit my page again dear stranger..
    ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ jk !

    Until then you got me always okk!!

    Day 6.
    A D I E U

    Dear stranger,
    Its been a bit long since i wrote something for you but i hope you're taking your own time to heal yourself day by day and somehow missed me too did you? ^----^

    You know what being a Bollywood fan i grew up with the ideology of #kabhi alvida na kehna ,in our desi samaj there were no as such episodes of goodbyes which were considered good ,always a happy family staying under a single roof,bunch of friends eating from the same lunch box like a proper foodie during the class offcourse,supportive colleagues to help you out of mess at work place,sath nibhana sathiya type married life with lots of twists and turn and blooming love in short a perfect hum sath sath hai script...ok ok is it going too much filmy..better you don't object me let me pour my heart kyuki kya pata kal ho n ho...:"). See the point is all my life we all tried too much to hold on to certain things certain people, there must be a time when you literally begged someone to stay, if your heart beats raced a thousand marathons while waiting for a single text, when your stomach felt endless punches and adrenaline rush choked your voice over a phone call, if you still have a secret corner in your closet for dead roses and old letters, if your call records still recites some buried stories then hey buddy welcome to the club... ! !

    Goodbyes were never easy thing to do,you chase every passing hour, you turn back a thousand time to double check if only there was someone still waiting for you, the sudden and uncalled coldness in nights, a capricious restlessness, a strong desire to go back in time, but the ordeals of time has something else in mind,the fate has already shattered all your fantasies ,it altogether breaks you to the extent that you feel numb and there comes a time that if someone would scream your name, your senses don't get affected coz now farewell was no more a burden, it was more like a elixir providing peace to all perished promises, with time you learn that some friendships only flourish till last pages of slam books, that some blood relations too stab your heart , that competition and jealousy finds their existence in every field, you learn and accept that love is poison, painful and not every story have a happiesss endingsss some merely have a monologue of emotions, you learn that let it go was the most peaceful decision . I believe the biggest bliss we have got as human is the ability to forget, slowly the universe heals us for better and it keeps on crossing our fate with strangers, our eyes keeps on catching glimpse of love and friendship under citylights and memories altogether makes us stronger !!

    As the sunsets promises another sparkling sunrise,
    every adieu conspire new beginnings.. Believe in universe.

    Take care! You got me okk

    Day 5
    M E M O R I E S

    Dear stranger!!
    Day 5 and you still reading my letters well i hope you are feeling a bit better in this whole process, somedays when you feel good about everything write me a letter too okk will you??

    You know they all say memories are priceless, they are like very soul of yours that makes you smile, cry, cherish the past, greet the unknown future, survive the harsh present in short memories makes us feel alive.One day all your giggles will get lost in chaos, all your tears will ultimately dry up, all your fears will fade someday,your happiness might crumble but memories..mann memories will carve a cavity in your chest, it will bloom in your rib cage, it will pierce your heartbeats, with every breath you might feel like escaping from it all but as we all know we can't survive without breathing, memories let you suffer till the moment your soul suffocates and at last find solace in pain . You wake up each morning with a desire to do right, to feel right , to move on in short you crave to chase happiness as simple as it sounds but as impossible as it could be. And as the evening kisses the vast empty sky, emptiness inside you starts eating you up, slowly you drift in world of silence, grief feels like a heavy gist on your shoulders, and all you do is to scream as loud as it could be that i am not sad, that i m ok you start fooling yourself, you start scribbling chapters of agony over crumbled pages, you start scratching the lifeless walls, you start gazing outside the window hoping there could be a better world outside but all these emotions kinda chain your careless spirit, you start fearing the crowd, you start fearing yourself and you cry and simply cry they are worst kind of cries coz not everybody could see it , you locked yourself behind closed doors and still hoped at least someone would knock someday and take you home but nobody ever came and you suffered all alone!!

    But dear stranger all this while gradually you became stronger , each and every scar on your skin made you a warrior, with every thunderstorm you bloomed with perfection , you embraced the fact that they either come back or they don't , that there's no in between, that some stories are meant to be incomplete , with a whole damn phase of darkness you start sleeping without fearing nightmares, you learn how to get through evenings alone you learn how to smile , you learn to adjust and accept you learn that memories will always stick to you but you already had enough of them your chest has already exploded with pain , you already faced the battle and war cries no longer horrifies you, you start moving on and trust me one day you simply plug in sweet melodies of your favourite past playlist while the warm cup of tea holds on to your sinking heart and you gaze at sapphire skies and you thank the universe for every thing, for good days for bad days, for days you felt all alone, for days you felt stuck in crowd and for days when you felt numb and for days when you felt beautiful, much stronger and you felt peace amidst all chaos!!

    Sending you all love and peace
    You got me!! Always

      I like crying..., then I sleep peacefully.
    • the_speccy_outsider Memories will crave a cavity!
    • the_speccy_outsider Indeed this does feel like it came straight from your heart. I guess the expected that you've shared here, well, most of us might have had it. And thank you for writing. No one is alone. We are all in this together. Everyone is suffering and fighting silent battles, maybe hurting some on their way. But now is not the time. If people genuine love and care for you then they'll understand.

    Day 4
    T R U S T

    Dear stranger!!
    Hope you are all fine and i wish these letters are giving you a good company if everything is good with you today i m glad and even it's not i want you to know you will get through all of it , i know it feels like the darkest phase of your life but soon the amber sunshine would kiss your scars and heal it for better... Have faith in yourself and trust the universe!!

    So today lets talk about Trust well if you would look for an apt definition of it so google would let you know its about "firm belief in reliability ,truth ability or strength of someone or something " But just like you these words went over my head !! For me trust is kinda fragile thing but can't deny the fact that's its the foundation on which all beautiful relationship are built and in the world where kindness, empathy, honesty and all other virtues are playing hide and seek under the cosmos of lies and hatred, i believe trust is crucial for survival of love, friendship, hope and every other emotion that makes you feel alive! And as they say to be trusted is better compliment than to be loved, but we all know trusting others with our secrets,thoughts, choices,day to day life
    is a tough thing at days we feel insecure, hesitant about everything, at days we don't even trust ourselves isn't it?

    What if trust dies oneday and mistrust blooms, what if the person you trusted most walks away one day leaving behind vague sorry notes, you get sick of all lies and when you look back ,you feel terrible and more miserable because you were so stupid to not realize it back then that you were maniupulated with lies , emotional drama and a bloody game for all this time , you look back at all memories each and every conversation and you realize how the whole universe was screaming at you , giving you signs to run away to leave and save yourself but you trusted them, you trusted them and chose to stay , you stayed because it mattered to you, you stayed because you loved them selflessly, you stayed because you hoped everything will fall back to right place someday , but all this while you lost your self respect, you lost your own smile, you compromised with your own worth and now you feel sick of yourself, guilty, broken and what not!!

    But dear stranger its alright breathe okk whatever happened was not your fault, we all have trusted the wrong person at some point of time and i know how it feels, but this doesn't implies you start isolating yourself from crowd and chose to suffer all alone, see trust starts with truth and ends with truth it might hurt you at times but you need to hold on never be afraid to trust the unknown future to a known god, trust others but verify too, trust your own instinct and follow your fire!!
    Trust the universe and have more courage to trust love one more time and one more time again and never fear the future as they say fear leads to more fear and trust leads to more trust!! So trust the process until you find peace and love..

    Sending you love and peace!!
    You got me okk always!!

    Day 3
    L O V E

    Dear stranger!!

    Hope this letter finds you in peace and good health, hope you're healing day by day and however you feel today happy or sad always know that change is only permanent thing here so hold on a little more and we together will overcome all of it.. Okk?

    So today i want to talk to you about something that brings the cute little butterflies fluttering in stomach,something that causes the fierce adrenaline rush,something that drives us all crazy,something that teaches us hard lessons in the worst possible way,something that breaks everything inside you still you can't get enough of it,yes yes something that we call it as "LOVE " .The crazy crazy four letters that carries the scream of all heart breaks of universe yet tranquilizes our broken heart with serenades of its own kind, something that we have no control over yet we seek and strive for it all our life. Last night i read it somewhere" if you're heart's is a compass, you will never feel lost " .. Ahh man it just hits hard isn't it? You know for a long long time world has taught each one of us that one day love will caresses all your flaws , love will write new chapters of happiness in your life story, you will for sure find love.!!

    But my heart always whispered "what if i never find love" what if out of 7.9 billion hearts out there nobody ever falls for my heart beats.. What if i always need to compromise with all i get and crush down all fairytales of what i want.. And then again a tiny doubt creeps on ok even if i find love will it stay forever? Is love really that beautiful how they depicted in Bollywood movies, is there actually someone playing violins when my eyes will find its soulmate, are promises actually the invisible strings that connects two souls forever? What if love just leaves me oneday and walks away without caring about my sleepless nights, without embracing my broken pieces , without even saying a proper goodbye what if it's just over one day?? I believe world always taught us to love selflessly but maybe how to deal when you're out of love, when everything falls down,when your heart's on fire how to cope up with it all was out of their syllabus ..XD !

    You know there comes a time when you feel sick of hope, you feel stuck with lies and you believe maybe love was never meant for you, but dear stranger listen to me.. Maybe love is not that complex, maybe before seeking love outside you gotta love yourself bit too much, see in entire cosmos if sun could selflessly bring light to moon every day i believe love exists, if amidst all dark stars can promise you light i believe love exists, if out of all chaos you still find peace in mother's lullaby ,i believe love exists, if a tiny plate of your fav noodles makes your heart happy i believe love exists... And trust me even if you lost your way to find love, love will find you one day.. How.. Well in its own mysterious ways, love will knock your door and release all your 3 am nightmares , love will visit you and maybe it will stick with you like the skies always gazing at you and only you!!

    until then i promise to love you more in all these tough times, i promise to write for you until you believe in love and hope like i do, until you find your own niche and you ask me why i m doing it all, coz souls like you deserves to be loved, souls like you are love!!


    Sending you more strength. You got me okk!!

    Day 2.
    A C C E P T

    Dear stranger!!
    Lately i saw you at war with yourself, shielding your innocence from the world slowly gasping at the empty sky hoping to steal a skin of darkness to hide your twinkling eyes, i saw you lost somewhere slowly drifting into a world of melancholy silence , i saw you drenching every inch of your soul in ruthless storms of anxiety and you know what hurts me more, the moment someone shook your shoulder and sabotaged the shield of solace with swords of questions like" are you fine " , i saw you holding on to a hoax smile, flinching hard on your nerves
    gradually gulping all your stories and chasing lies and endless lies , i saw you camouflaging all your crystal tears beneath the tag of everything's fine.!!

    Everything is fine... Well really take a pause and ask yourself, you keep on repeating this over and over again but at days you feel like a piece of shit isn't it ? I see you lying on the bed staring at lifeless ceiling, scratching your head struggling with life choices, i see you choking your face with your wet pillow , at times you don't know who you are and see i understand the pressure of keeping up with demands of so called perfect life you expect of yourself. And i won't be surprised if today you claim to find your peace in chaos, that mere breathing not living a life seems all normal to you, i won't be surprised if today anxiety and depression are paying you regular visits and guess what you are no longer annoyed with their existence and it won't be too much if i say hey there i relate with you okk!!

    But the real question here arises is how long.. how long you gonna hold on to myths of you're stong, oh ya mature enough to handle it all, how long would you consider accepting pain and asking for help a sign of weakness, how long will you demolish your desires behind lock doors.. Just tell me how long?? Is grief not allowed when you have experienced a loss ? Yes it is if you ever feel down and feel like crying just do so, for i know you are strong and sharing your stories and suffering makes you even stronger, you weren't born with a heartbreak surely you won't die with one so tell me why to live with it?
    The first step towards curing any illness is to accept you need help, you need treatment until you yourself choose to end this pain nobody can pull you out from that dirt.

    Life's too short to let past dominate you sometimes you gotta forgive but hey hey never forget.. By forgiving you acknowledge the pain, their mistakes, you analyze how life tested you and you survived it all but simply forgetting and move on is not my type, i guess not even yours !! So express your emotions before its too late, find love give before its gone, trust the process you might think nobody can fix your broken heart but some prayers are powerful magical and somebody out there is praying for you!! Heal yourself take your time...

    Accept, allow, embrace, evolve ~sending you all peace.

    Until then you got me okk!

    Day 1.
    B R E A T H E

    Dear stranger!!
    I don't know much about you , your problems, your sufferings might be miles away from my sight,but trust me i know how it feels to suffer all alone cause at some point of time i have been there myself and i know it's not easy !!

    I know how it feels to chase perfection, to morph our muse according to mob, seeking peace amidst all the chaos and continuously staining the white pages of life story with chapters of agony and anxiety with your blood red ink which recites the tales of your blue scars , i saw you in pain and trust me i know its not easy to gaze at the grey clouds for hours and still reside in complete darkness, i know how it feels when you have a story suffused in your ocean eyes but you are too scared to scream and shout cause you don't trust the crowd , for they might give titles of weakness to your tepid tears, for they might never understood how it feels to slit your symphonies beneath the 4am moonlight.. But let me assure you are not alone in all this, someone out there is feeling the same way all you gotta to do is to hold on a little more and wait for the sunrise ..

    So here i m writing a letter to you and i will keep doing it until the day you finally breathe peace, see i m not asking you to be strong hell no.. I won't give you advises which i never followed myself , let the grief greet you at days and all your if and but how and whys are natural don't crush it down... Ask yourself and others too , you have the right to fall apart too , but i would just remind you please know this "it wasn't your fault" No not at all whatever happened there was nothing you could to do stop it and i know you are trying harder to get out of it and one day trust me you will rise and shine , even if everything seems falling down you need to know that you are someone's most favorite person,even if solitude surrounds you all over trust me someone is smiling out there cause you are here getting stronger day by day !!

    I will be sending you 24 letters to remind you how beautiful these 24 hours of life could be and with every letter i will leave you with some questions and buddy you gotta find your own answers okk? I know you will. :-)

    Until then take care!! You got me okkk!!
    Always! Sending you love and peace.
