A Message From The Ocean

A Message From The Ocean

Welcome, dear one,

It’s been a long time that  I have seen you around. You look older than before. I have waited for you for a long time now. I wanted to say that I missed you. I missed us.  When you came inside me with your bare feet, fearing nothing and giving all your vulnerabilities to me, I felt overwhelmingly happy that you trusted me so much.

I never judged you or your deeds just as you expected. I just want to love you unconditionally and give you all that I have to offer. I am the ocean and I have seen many people throughout my life, coming here and giving their all to me. Some brought peace, some brought love, some were angry and some just released all their sadness while they felt my waves washing away their unpleasant thoughts.

You are very precious to me because you knew what I have done all my life, what  I have been through and what I have seen. You saw my rage and my mischief. You could make the difference between when I  was at my lowest. I never have to speak to tell you how I am feeling.

I am very glad that you came tonight to see me.  Tonight it’s different. The sky is merging with me covering my waters with a white haze. The sun has already settled and it is getting darker. I am very raveled tonight, after seeing the world turning upside down. It doesn’t make sense to me how you humans live on this earth. I feel lucky that I am an ocean and my purpose is just to swallow everything that is being presented to me.

I want to ask you, dear one, don’t you feel tired by everything that’s been happening lately? you have everything yet you feel lonely. You feel confused to choose what is true and what is right for you. As you got older I have seen your smile getting dim with every passing year. What is it that is making you sadder? I  miss your smile and I am glad that I could still see the same person in you when I first met you.  I  hope that  I could make you smile a little and take your baggage away for a while. You know you can rest here whenever you feel like it.

Oh dear one, please let your guards down as there is nothing to fear from. You are safe with me and I  am here, just for you. I want you to know that you are the best thing that has happened to me and to this world and you are worth more than you think you are.  There are many others who are in your position right now. I also want to tell you that you are not alone, but you are still, a little different from them because they don’t know to rest. No one ever told them that the baggage that they are carrying can be put aside whenever they feel like.

You don’t have to worry to be seen when you are with me. You don’t have to be impatient to make yourself seen. Here, I see everyone and when I say that I see you that means I SEE YOU. I can see your old soul that’s been on this long journey for a century or even more. You don’t remember coming here because, after your last breath, you took up a new body. A new journey. I want to tell you that,  you have grown so much! and I am proud of who you have become.

In the future , there will be times when you feel like you don’t deserve all the things that you desire but that would be a lie. Your purpose in this world is to achieve everything that you choose to have and the Universe and I have been working on your purpose even when you are asleep. So, don’t worry. You are going to get there really soon. But right now just rest. it’s time for you to breathe and calm down your senses. Let me take all your thoughts away and heal you with my love. After all, that’s what I am here to do.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
