I have been one of those people who never give up. On people. On relationships. On love. On family. And yet, sometimes, life brings you to a point where you regret holding on so tight. You regret the very thing that you thought defined you, made you special. Made you the brave one, the strong one. But sometimes this holding on makes us hold on to people and connections that are no longer meant for us. Sometimes this makes us stay in situations that are no longer good for us.  Just because you can put up a good fight, doesn't mean you'll keep choosing situations that need you to keep fighting.  Sometimes, the bravest thing is not holding om, but letting go. Letting go of the control. Letting go of how you hoped things would turn out. Letting go what you feel is the best for you. Because once you let go and sit back , the universe will do its work. It will let the blessings meant for your reach you. You don't have to know everything all the time. Sometimes, it's okay to j...

Dear, you, I will tell you a secret; life has not changed me, it has revealed the parts of me I didn't know exist. If my past were to meet me today, they wouldn't know me. It would be a pleasant surprise, a soft sigh, a tender relief.  I have forgiven everything and it has dismembered me in a way I don't understand. It has taken me through the worst days of my life to bring me here. To a place I no longer hold on to with fear of losing. To a happiness that I don't care to possess.

This moment when it hurts to say goodbye and go home. This moment when happiness pours out of my eyes as you play your favorite songs. All of this will end, all of this will change, I cannot hold on to it forever even if I want to. But life has revealed its secret and it is this, all you have i...

"Itne saal kahan thi tum?" "Kisi aur kahani me thi, kisi aur sheher me. Aur jab aankh khuli to tum mil gaye." "Pehle kyu nahi mile hum, kuchh aur waqt mil jaata tumhe jaan ne ka, samajhne ka." "Kabhi kabhi mujhe bhi lagta hai ki kya zarurat thi hume aise milne ki. Koi aasaan raasta bhi ho skta tha. Koi chhota raasta. Par shayad zaruri tha mera iss tarah milna tumhe aur tumhara iss tarah aana, hume pehle bohot kuchh dekhna tha, seekhna tha, kuchh aur hi banna tha ek dusre se milne se pehle." "Par tumse milke to mai mai hi nahi raha hu. Jo bhi mai tha wo mai nahi hu ab." "Tumhari kahani alag thi, meri alag thi, par hum dono ko usse guzarna tha taaki jab hum mile to milte hi aisa lage ki phle mil chuke hain shayad. Hairaani ho ki ye kya hogya. Khushi ho to bura na lage, darr lage to itna hi ki ab darr kyu nahi lagta. Thoda zyada ho gya na?" "Haan thoda sa, par chalta hai. Bohot saalon ki baatein reh gayi hain. Kuchh dino me ...
