My wall, my tree, my dad..

 

Like a wall, you stood there strong and tall for me always.

Like a tree, you gave me shelter and protection always.

It is strange that none of us like to say it out loud, but dad you are the love of my life.

In our silences, we have shown our love, in our smiles we have shown our joy.

I’m grateful, there are bits of me that are like you, I’m grateful that in some ways I carry you.

I am you, in ways I already know of and so many that I am not aware of, what a beautiful bond.

Thank you, dad, for letting me tumble, letting me fall and letting me know that I need to carve my path with you alongside.

P.C. Soosh

You are my lighthouse dad, always standing tall and looking out for me,

No matter how bad the storm is, no matter how strong the winds are, no matter what, you’ve been there.

Words can’t describe what we share and what we’ve built, but all I can tell you today is:

Let us share the love through our silences, let us show the care though our actions and now, let me do it all for you.

We are more than what we know.

My grandmother's granddaughter, My father’s daughter, My mother’s child, My sister’s partner, My best friend’s bestie, And a stranger to a stranger, I am so many, I am me.   You are more than what you think my love. Yes, you are the Hero of your story, but you also play so many roles in that of others. We walk through so many lives unnoticed and unaware, isn’t it magical? You made someone’s day, inspired someone to be or do something more, you made someone laugh, you motivated someone, you did so much, my love. You don’t know all of this, but trust me you did effect lives. We are all in a journey trying to make it home, trying to do our best and most importantly we are all trying to reach the end. It might be a different struggle you go through, but all of us are in the same hustle. On a day when you feel like giving up or you feel like no one is there next to you, I hope you remember whatever little you did or how you helped someone is pushing them to go on...

Rely, the true bliss.

 How beautiful is this word: RELY. To rely and to be able to be relied upon is one of the most wonderful feelings in this universe, I believe. We all love, but we are also scared of it, scared of how we may overburden someone with it, or be overburdened with someone’s love. To love means to let go, but to let go is tough, it is difficult to not expect and to just be. Isn’t it? At least I found it so, thinking how can I just let go of it all and be; and if I am mindful of it I am lost in the calculations of the same. Calculations are a spiral, aren’t they? Is this enough, or maybe too much, I hope it isn’t too soon, or maybe I am taking time and what not. It is a never-ending debate in the mind, a conversation with no conclusion and more importantly such a draining one. So how am I supposed to love and be there in that bliss is what I always asked myself. I am a giver, but to categorize and give in proportions makes me lose myself. How can I love and not lose myself? How...

Hustle, Hope & I..

Image
We’re chasing, you and I, all of us. We’re chasing the dreams, the ideal lifestyle, the perfect skin or body, or just something. We’re hustling, doesn’t have to be physically each day or each time, but in our minds, we constantly are! This constant run feels exhausting, it feels as though my soul is slowly pulling away. But I don’t want to leave, not yet at least is what I say to myself. I don’t know why I am not able to pull back from the hustle, lean towards the calm, the peace and the silences. I know for sure that all this chasing isn’t going to lead me there, but I still go on. I’m trying to keep the chase on, but then I know in this dark tunnel that I am chasing and that I am engaged in this spiral. But I also seek for the light, the light at the end of the tunnel. The end of the tunnel is the light that I know I seek, but I haven’t yet found the courage to go that way. Today, right now all that I have is the slightest hope that somewhere deep down I do have the...
