Trying and failing still leaves the door open for success.
But without trying, the door was never opened.

Possibility exists only where action exists.

Potential without regulation becomes suffering.

A soldier who protects his soft and beautiful heart from the world's harsh voices and chaos — even while quietly fighting intense battles alone — is a rare kind of loyal warrior.

Yet even with that resilience, he still wonders:
Am I truly capable of sustaining the life I dream of?

The needs that even a strong mind cries for at night are often the same needs the world never learned to notice.

A reserved soul — silently aching for a reservoir of love, understanding, and peace...

yet still guarding the softness that the world could not harden.

"Being truly seen asks something of you —
you can't pretend anymore."

When the emotions get named correctly, the heaviness in your heart eventually lightens.

i fear trying to be myself,
to protect myself
from the people
my heart feel unsafe with.

that I fall in love too quickly with anyone whose presence feels like safety.

But slowly, over time, it becomes a small chapter.
One where I kept restraining every moment, while knowing the version of my full love's capacity that the heart still holds.

But now — "Hoga kisi ka na ab yeh." (sivaye tere:)

Resonance doesn't need a caption.

for someone felt but not yet found.

Ae ajnabee, dil ki lagi ka silsila chalte rehne de [999+]

Let the series of heart's desires with this stranger keep going on.

🍃

Mere dil ki dhadkan kuch yun keh rahi hai:

साँसें थाम लो...

बिना धूल और कंकर की आँधी आने वाली है।
हल्की सी बाढ़ आने वाली है।
नज़रों को ऐतबार होने वाली है।

अरसों बाद—
इश्क़ की स्वाद मिलने वाली है।

जाना...
प्यार से कहो ना एक बार
"मुझे दिल से चाहने वाली की नज़र मिल जाने वाली है।"

कहो...
प्रेम से ढल जाने की रात आने वाली है।

यादें तो बीत गईं...
अब वो रात आने वाली है।

इश्क़ की बारात आने वाली है! :)
इश्क़ की बारात आने वाली है! :)

जाना...
कहो ना—
"प्रेमिका की इश्क़ भरी बातों में
घुल जाने की सावन आने वाली है।"

फिर मैं—
रोका(engagement) आज ही रचा दूँगा
फिर मैं रोका आज ही रचा दूँगा
अपनी तरफ से

क्योंकि...
इश्क़ की बारात जो आने वाली है,
इश्क़ की बारात आने वाली है। 😭

दिल को...
प्रेमिका के प्रेम में लीन होने की आस...
पूरी होने वाली है।

प्रेम में भीग जाने की सावन आने वाली है।
प्रेम में घुल जाने की सावन आने वाली है।

:)

You sometimes hold back from expressing something that hurts you, even to someone who loves you, because you fear they might amplify it beyond the pain it causes you. You want to avoid catastrophizing.

You can't attach to people who don't provide safety.

But the ocean won't come to the pond.
You have to push toward it.
And once you're in it?
You'll still need to find your network. Your crew. The people who swim at your rhythm.

Right now:
Surveilled
Degraded
Limited space
Poisonous environment

And somewhere else in the same ocean;
Someone else is doing the same thing.
Moving toward the same direction.
Also navigating in the dark.
Also keeping their boat afloat.

Both carrying their own light.
Both moving.

The peace comes when they finally meet.

When something triggers old trauma, you might start reacting like your younger self , the one who first felt that pain. That’s why your emotions can feel intense or confusing. It’s not just about the present moment, but something from the past.
These reactions aren’t weakness they’re signs that a part of you still needs care. With awareness and kindness to yourself, you can support that younger part and respond from your present, stronger self.
