A letter of Hope


Hello sunshine,

It’s been a long time since I last wrote anything to you.
How have you been coping up with daily life which is usually a roller coaster ride, my dearest?

I know, not every day is the best but not all days are bad as well, right?

The same was the case with me, I was having an emotional breakdown this past week and had no one to share it with. The people who wanted to know weren’t the ones I wanted to tell things to. Therefore, no one.

If you ask me, how am I doing today?
Pretty good would the answer you’ll receive.

Some days, I find it hard to wake up and some nights it is difficult to fall asleep, these feelings and emotions just know their way inside someone’s mind but no way outside it.

Sometimes listening to the lyrics of each peaceful song helps and sometimes just talking to an old friend and reminiscing helps.

 Healing is something that will start the minute you decide it for yourself, this is the lesson that I learned through a series of emotional breakdowns and days of locking myself from the bright world.

Now, you might be thinking that why is this person sharing all of this with me?

Well, the answer is pretty easy, Sunshine.

1.    Sharing something which is a burden on us can make it easy to heal.

2.    Everyone is going through pain just like you, and talking about it won’t make you less of a human.

I want to talk a lot more than I usually do but this email to you would be short and simple.

This is a safe space for both of us to talk about anything and everything possible.

Sunshine, we will both be able to heal if we’ll take that one step forward. I took mine and now I’ll wait for you to step forward and hit the reply button.

Let’s talk and try healing the pain we feel in our hearts.

You are perfect, my dearest.
Smile a lot more, it suits you.

Take care,

With loads and loads of love
and positivity

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
