This could SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE NOT TO REBLOG THIS.

I DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF IT DOESN'T GO WITH YOUR BLOG'S THEME.

And yes, REBLOG. Liking does no shit at all. This isn't ig.

You reblog, people see it. You don't, people don't see it. This shit's that simple.

This could save someone's life. It's not a joke.

there is nothing wrong with being mediocre. there is nothing wrong with not being the best at everything you do. there is no guilt in doing the bare minimum because you have no energy to do more than that. “living your life to the fullest” can mean different things for you at different times in your life. sometimes, it is achieving your goals and fulfilling your purpose, and sometimes, it is allowing yourself to rest and just get through it.

you deserve the space to simply be. to exist, to witness, to breathe, and to find peace.

You might feel insecure about yourself and doubt your abilities but just know that there is one person who is soulfully rooting for you. Don't doubt yourself, you are special and important for someone. you are worthy of being loved. you are worthy of being heard.

just look how rare and beautiful you are !!

On the topic of my best friend… my little sister told me that she thinks I’ll marry him one day, and even though I don’t think we’re in love even though we love each other, that we will one day.

I asked her why she thought that, because if a kid can say with such confidence you’re going to marry your best friend, you want to know what they’ve noticed. She listed off a bunch of reasons, like how we always spend time together, we’re comfortable together, we both are artists, we make each other happy and we feel safe when we’re around each other and how we both show up for the important things in each other’s lives.

And I get that maybe those all sound like healthy friendship things, and they are. But she isn’t the first person in my life to point out that my best friend and I are great together. We have strangers ask us how long we’ve been together, we had someone comment on how beautiful it was that we were on our art journey together and assumed we lived together, we’ve had co-workers ask about how we met and how long we’ve been together. I had a coworker tell me that she lived out dynamic and could see the way we supported each other, responded to each other and communicated without words, basically, the way we understood each other so perfectly. We have a friend from highschool who tells me constantly that she thinks we should be together by now, and asks me every time I see her if I’m dating him yet, to which I just laugh and shrug “we’re best friends”. My mum told me that he has more commitment and dedication than a friend, and doesn’t understand why we haven’t ever gone after more. She also commented to grandmother once that my best friend, was in fact, “grandson in law material”. My uncle told me over a coffee that he doubted he wanted to just be friends, that he was probably already in love with me.

And between the hugs that linger a little too long and are just a little too tight, and the walking so close that our arms are brushing but we’d never hold hands, and the comfortable silence yet knowing that no matter how long we talk for, we’d never run out of things to say, and the the casual “love you” at the end of every phone call, that maybe we accidentally became perfect lovers. And I thought maybe it was just me that had the temptation to pursue it, because adults have too much life experience and bias so how could I trust them when they say “I think he likes you more than a friend”. But my sister said it, and she’s not even 10 yet, and kids don’t lie about that, they don’t see love in places it isn’t.

So I guess I laughed a little, at her bold assumption, but really, it’s just the straw that broke the camels back and made me see, it’s always been him.

devi: the goddess within

i have often heard people refer to women as devi insisting on their divinity. but often the implications are about Sati or Sita; the ones who perform sacrifices as their earthly duties. but what if she’s not?

what if she’s a mere human with many many faults and flaws that she works on diligently? what if instead of being single dimensional, she’s kaleidoscopic? what if she’s wrathful like Chandi but also demure like Gauri? what if she’s the source of life like Aditi but also dwells in cremation grounds like Kali? what if she’s wise like Saraswati but also possesses immense beauty like Laxmi?

if you really think about it, perhaps her dharma is only to figure out her life and honor her own light. perhaps, the reason she exists is for herself but she chooses to welcome others and love them. perhaps, she is the embodiment of all the devis; but on her own terms, just how she wants to be.

Girl friendships>>>>>

while glorifying males and their unmatched loyalty in friendships, we forgot where we learnt friendship from and ironically we learn it from our girl friends. People say that men are big at their heart and they would do anything for their "bros" but the truth is I've never come across a single woman who would not become a saviour every time I would need a pad in a public loo, and mind you, we may not even know each other. People say women gossip a lot, but my girls were the ones who sat through the nights with me listening to my unhinged stories when I felt like I would never feel understood. People say women fight over petty things, but my girls were the ones who helped me get out of bed every morning when my depression would be so bad and the world would say I'm overreacting. People say women easily get jealous, but somehow it's always these girls who are catching me up if I miss the lecture some day and every time I compliment a girl's dress, she would tell me where she got it from, or if I tell a girl her lipstick looks fine, she would give me the exact shade code. People say women are silly, and I agree, because only my girls would sit with me and listen to my silly conversations with my silly crush again and again and give a proper reaction every time. I could tell a guy friend the biggest problem of my life, and the most he'd say would be: "it'll be okay, bro", but my girls? I'd tell my girl friends about my slightly disturbed bowel movements, and after running a detailed analysis on why that could be, she would continue to ask me follow up questions for weeks, even when I'd have forgotten it. Women are honestly the creatures of heart, no one can do love and friendship better than them, but somehow the society has fooled us into believing that its uncool to be a woman, and that men have better, durable bonds with each other. Not to compare or anything, but the world suicide rates suggest otherwise. I'm grateful every day for being a woman, and for my girlies ♡

"I made a mistake in what I did. The past few days, I didn't feel like myself. I was being brutal and rude. According to what you've told me, all the men in your life—aside from your father—have treated you cruelly and crudely. And I've devoted my entire being to avoiding being one of those. Unfortunately, I have in fact joined that group. I apologise." (a note found in a guy's diary)
