Life can be fulfilling at both 16 and also 60. 25 and 35.
Joy is timeless.
Learning how to make the most of where you are does not have an age cut-off or a deadline.
You will always be able to sit and wonder about things that could have gone differently.
But you can also trust:
you have not missed out on what was meant for you.

I know it’s hard to trust when so much is unknown,
so instead of trying to make sense of it all at once,
take it all color by color, tree by tree, scent by scent, take it one by one.
You don’t have to take it all in at once.
Take in the newness of it all one moment at a time without worrying about the moments to come.
Let that be enough.
Breathe deep and let this moment be enough.
Let this be a place where you find peace.

Remember the ground beneath your feet, you belong here.
No one has taken your place.
You are not too far from grace.
Your story might be unfolding differently than expected but that doesn’t mean it won’t be beautiful.
Where you are meant to be, you will be in time, no matter your age or stage of life.
Life is fun. Let it be.
Let it flourish at it’s own pace.

Be with someone who is invested in you.
I don’t mean someone who thinks you’re cute or funny.
I mean someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you.

Someone who wants to read every word you write.
Someone who wants to hear every note of your favorite song,
and watch every scene of your favorite movie.
Someone who wants to find every scar upon your body,
and learn where each one came from.
Someone who communicates with both head & heart.
Someone who knows why you prefer black coffee & sourdough pizza.
Someone who wants to know your favorite brand of toothpaste & shower gel,
and which quotes resonate deep inside your bones when you hear them.

There is a difference between attraction, interest & the word i mentioned INVEST.
Find the person who wants to learn every aspect of who you are, and hold onto them.

Every relationship/equation/friendship in your life are an immense investment of consistent time & energy, never offer discounts on that.

Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions,
binding together people who never knew each other,
citizens of distant epochs.
Books break the shackles of time.
A book is proof that humans are capable of magic.

Recovery is a process no matter what it is you’re overcoming.
No one is better or greater for recovering faster.
It’s not a race.
You need to go at your own pace, even if that is pace is slow.
There will be days when you feel like giving up, don’t.
There will be days when you’re at risk of relapsing, don’t.
So long as you set your own pace and never go backward in your recovery, you’re making tremendous progress and that’s all that matters.
So be proud of what you’ve accomplished for yourself.

Don’t compare your recovery process to others.
Remember that each of us heals physically, mentally, and emotionally at the pace that’s right for ourselves.
Give yourself the time you need and deserve.

Be disciplined about what you respond and react to.
Most people are inconsistent, that’s their comfort zone.
Not everyone or everything deserves your time, energy and attention.
Stay in your light. Vibe with your tribe.

Few ways you can express how you feel towards someone;

1. I love you.
2. I need you.
3. I want you.
4. I want to be with you.
5. I don’t want to be without you.
6. I can’t live without you.
7. I miss you.

NEED, needs can be met somewhere else & being needy means being weak as well.
LOVE, this word is highly misused by people & especially someone like me needs a year to trust after a year of healing.
WANT is my favourite & number-3 is my pick out of all these 7.
WANT is that animalistic desire inside.
Which means i know i have few suitors/options, but who cares because it’s you and just you that i WANT for myself.
In case you love someone, remind them constantly & consistently that YOU WANT THEM.

Last time someone said “I WANT YOU” to me was on my birthday.
I haven’t replied that till now.
Never rushed towards anyone.
Never allowed anyone to rush towards me either.
The simple reason is;
“If someone is investing their time & energy on me, that person deserves a whole TAP”.
I am that kind of a person who hides nothing.
My only secrets are my bank account/credit card pin or my email/social media account passwords.
And right now, i am still in that phase of healing i mentioned above.

Whenever i say “LIONESS” in my posts, it’s my appreciation to that person who understands where i am coming from & why.
Appreciated for picking/dropping me at airport.
Appreciated for taking me out to my favourite brunch.
Appreciated for buying me a pair of white vans kicks after watching squid games.
Appreciated for helping me with carwash.
Appreciated for typing my thesis.
Very few people come with a clean heart & no stupid outlandish expectations.
So LIONESS, Like your favourite alphabet is T, my favourite word is “APPRECIATION”.
Rest all are a LEO-LEO thing i guess.😜
Every relationship of your life is a major investment of time & energy.
Take your sweet time, that says all about who’s who.

It’s not about the words.
It’s not about the time.
It was never.
It’s always about the vibe.

Give yourself permission to walk away from every situation that brings BAD VIBES.

Remember you are not promised tomorrow.
So how are you going to ensure that you crash your heart into your life?
How are you going to ensure that you leave this world, whenever it happens for you, with a soul that is tender and full and weathered in the best way?
With a soul that was never asked to make itself smaller, with a soul that was never waiting for the day it was skinnier, or prettier, or cooler, or more successful, in order to take advantage of the time it was given?

We cannot wait to be the people we have always dreamed of being.
We cannot wait for life to perfect itself.
There is no right time, there is no perfect circumstance.
We have to leap, even when our legs are shaking.
We have to show up for ourselves not in 3 months, or 5 years, or 10 years, but now.
In this moment.
Because every single day is a blessing.
Every single day is a gift.
Do not lose sight of that.

Mama once said;
We don’t just entertain friends/relationships outta fun, we build them over time, we respect them & we keep them. That’s why never accept or serve discounted garbage“.

I was in my teen days.
I was still getting pocket money from parents.
I wasn’t able to understand those heavyweight words (right words).
I thought my mum was talking about not buying discounted clothes/stuffs or wasting money on fastfood with friends during weekend trips.
Most of my friends know i hate discounted clothes now too. In fact, i don’t have a single piece of clothing from any fast fashion brands.

Coming closer to my 30, now i am understanding that she told me not to hangout with people who have discounted/cheap personality/approach/attitude/mindset, It took me almost 14 years to figure out the real meaning behind those wise words.
Being a MAN means progression/consistency of understanding, knowledge, acceptance & virtue while developing better habits.

(This video got nothing to do with the post above. Watch it to understand how your shopping habits are shaping a climate & humanitarian disaster. There’s a reason I never buy clothes from H&M, Zara, TK Maxx or any store/brand with 50% discount board. I buy clothes which cost at least a hundred quid or more, and i wear them for ages. They stay with me because, I know I have spent enough money to buy them. And i fully remember how much I paid, I have a photographic memory. Fun part is, I still have t-shirts, jackets, hoodies & sneakers from my 8th grade & engineering college days which fit perfectly even today. Half of them are stolen by my bestfriend DEMI, but I have no complaints on that, that stealing must continue, sometimes she looks good in my clothes & I adore her for good reasons. FYI, I am a sneakerhead & my love for watches is something divine.)
