It’s a New Day

Life is not always sunshine and rainbows. I have learnt that it’s okay to break a wing when I’m flying high. It isn’t fair to blame the universe for giving you wings to fly high. Who doesn’t stumble even on ground, to fall with the most unexpected shock?

All this while I have been making myself believe that happiness runs in a circular motion and one day it just clicks. Time has a way of showing us the purpose of life, the key to keep anything but happiness locked away.

You don’t understand why people keep telling you that it will all be okay, it will all fall in place, you just got to learn to love yourself. When you hear these words, you just think about the time when you came out of a storm long before and these words don’t matter anymore.

At first, I was shot to pieces seeing myself change. The thought of being in peace with solitude troubled me in a defiant way. It took me a long time to accept it without fighting back. Slowly, I stopped resisting which taught me a very important lesson.

What I measured as gaps filled for others to fill were nothing but a void for me to explore. The emptiness was meant for me to experience it and deeply feel it. The void made me closer to myself and accept everything.

There is an inexplicable sense of pride and freedom associated with this kind of love. When I love myself so fiercely, I don’t need anybody’s validation of who I am. When I love myself so candidly, I know that I am capable of loving everything around me. When I love myself the way people had once told me, I realize how far I’ve come.

I haven’t changed. I have just found myself.
