I will celebrate my small wins in life, because I've been silent about my sufferings. People don't know how hard life was for me, because all they've known was that I was strong, I didn't even blink when in fear, and they haven't seen me cry over things. I've got bigger problems in this life, too, but I didn't let them see the whole picture of it- they only saw the tip of the iceberg, only introduction scenes about my "small incovenience", and only few lines of the whole narrative about my struggles. So I quietly endured the torment; I spoke nothing about what I went through, and it was not because no one sincerely asked how I was. It's just that, I've got no words to describe it that time- I didn't have enough energy to talk about it.

Maybe the little things that you consider your weaknesses are actually the things that people treasure the most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve, but some people think that's the best damn thing about you.  We all have different little things that make up who we are; we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with. ~Shrishtisinghrajput✨

There's so much more to life than finding someone who would want you, or being sad over someone who wouldn't. There's a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn't need to be painful or empty.  You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, scribble your thoughts in a diary, cook your favourite dishes, dress up for yourself, build your career, make money, smile a lot, help others. Do all things with love, but don't romanticize life like you can't survive without anyone. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn't any less beautiful. ~Shrishtisinghrajput✨

There is a reason the sky gets dark at night. We were not meant to see everything all the time. We are meant to rest and trust under this bold, full dark sky. Because no matter how heavy the shadows fill the night, in time, we will see morning sunlight. We will see that even though we were tired, weary, and we could not see the ground beneath our feet, somehow, we still moved forward. We still pushed through. And it might take years to see how all of this comes together. We might not always see the pieces fall in place in the timeframe in which we desired. But this does not have to stop us from resting, and trusting that we will not always be here. We are not stuck at this stage. As terrifying as they may be, our present uncertainties will not last forever. The pieces will come together in their time. We will grow in the way we were meant to: older and wiser with each day. And that is a beautiful thing. Even when we did not notice it. Even in the darkness. We are on our way...

Learn to forgive yourself, for every time you acted against what you deserved, because you put someone else first. For all those days you spent alone with your phone in your hand, restless, refusing to ring the only person whom you wanted to hear from, because deep down you knew that they weren't going to pick up. For each night you spent wiping tears that dampened your pillow over people who couldn't take care of your heart.  Learn to forgive yourself, for being soft in a world that didn't know what to do with a soul like yours, for taking time to learn that love is not pain. Love does not make you uncomfortable. Love is not unsure about you. Love is not wrapped up in apologies and band-aids to cover up all the scars that weren't there before they arrived. Love does not leave too soon or arrive when you no longer want it. Learn to forgive yourself, for thinking that love is all those things because those you love didn't know how to cherish you in return...

Har subeh ka khayal hota hai Kal kuch behtar hoga  Par har kal ek sa reh jata hai Kaha kuch badalta hai Phir hume pahele humme kami lagti hai Phir zindagi me kuch adhura lagta hai Phir lagta hai chahe to badal sakte hai kuch Kuch naya karne ka dil karta hai Phir badalne lagte hai khudko Phir khudse hi man bharne lagta hai Phir lagta hai pahele hi sab behtar tha Phir wahi silsila chalne lagta hai Zindagi aisi hi to hai Jab jaisi rehti hai pasand nahi aati Phir badalti hai to lagta hai Jo beeta wahi behtar tha! ❤️ ~Shrishtisinghrajput✨

You're not where you want to be. And it's okay. Everyone starts somewhere. This is where you are right now. It doesn't mean you'll be here forever. It doesn't mean you're stuck. It just means this is where you stand today. I know this journey feels so overwhelming. I know it feels impossibly long and difficult and painful. And I know there are days when it feels easier to give up. But the truth is that most things worth having don't come easy. Change takes time. Getting to a better place takes time. You aren't a failure because it's taking you so long or because you're struggling just to start. You aren't weak or incapable. You're human. This work is hard. It's uncomfortable and mentally and physically taxing and terrifying-and it makes sense that it would take you time. It makes sense that this is a struggle. You don't have to solve your whole life overnight. And you don't have to feel ashamed for being where you ...
