The deepest hurt: being valued but not necessary.

See the absurd clearly, refuse false hope, and still live intensely

Resonance is not meant to become something.
It is meant to reveal something.

Trust Drives Success (Not Surveillance)

Punishment only works if the other person registers it as punishment.

You want to be loved by the same person you want to love and fight with.

When you finally say "I love you";

i'll want to believe it so badly.
i'll feel it everywhere—
chest tight, throat closing, trying not to cry.

i'll recognize you when you arrive.
i'll know you're the one.
and i'll still be terrified to trust it.

even when you prove it—
even when you pass every test—
even when i KNOW it's real—

something in me will keep waiting for the end.

not because i doubt you.
because my body learned: good things don't stay.

that's not fair to you.
i know.

but scarcity rewired me.
and healing takes longer than arrival.

मुझसे ज़्यादा मेरे जैसा कोई है तो है तू
फिर ना जाने दिल मेरा क्यूँ तुझको ना दे सकूँ

कुछ तो है जो दिल घबराए
कुछ तो है जो साँस ना आए
कुछ तो है जो हम होंठों से
कहते-कहते कह ना पाएँ

[SONG: Kuch To Hai]

अभी मुझ में कहीं
बाक़ी थोड़ी सी है ज़िंदगी
जगी धड़कन नई
जाना ज़िंदा हूँ मैं तो अभी
