Peace, Joy, Love; INSIDE ME

After a long time, yesterday, I was sitting in my balcony staring at the beauty of nature. I saw a little bird nest.

I asked the bird (parent of the nestlings) "It must be challenging going out, looking for food when there are so many predators out there looking for you." "Yes, it is. But I have these two little lives depending on me." Said the bird. "You seem to be a brave one. How was your childhood?" I asked. "I don't know if I am the brave one but I am sure that I am the lucky one. I had a brother who died saving me when a kite attached our nest.

You are supposed to stay lit until the end. Whiles saying this, the child began to cry. Then the fourth candle said, don't be afraid - I am HOPE, and while I am still burning. We can re-light t

The Power of Music I started listening to music in 2016 - 2017 before that I can only recall movie songs of Bollywood that hardly resemble my vibes. The first song I ever listened to that resonates with me was Love Story by Taylor Swift. I was a huge swiftie back then. After that, I started listening to more similar songs and came to know pop is my jam. Over the years, listening to pop music became my routine. In 2019, My best friend told me about Spotify which transformed everything. I am so grateful that he shared this beautiful application with me. My therapy begins, the power of music rewired my entire system. Whenever I felt lost, broken, upset, and low, I put on my headphones with my brave playlist on (songs that makes me feel powerful, strong, and unstoppable) and dance it out. It is as if something is trying to pull me down inside my head, I walk it out through music. This made me fearless. Not as if I fear nothing but, I fear nothing that may break me down. Because I will alwa
