Serendipity - Poetry, Articles and Life Stories

Just a story ... We loved each other. We did. It was all beautiful and rosy in the beginning. Dates, long walks, conversations over coffee, long drives, late night phone calls, early morning excuses to leave home and what not. It felt as if we completed each other. Now after 7-8 years, when I look back and think about it, I still smile but there are things that I'm reminded about that I still haven't forgotten. He was the best thing that ever happened to me but at the same time, the worst too. It took years to understand that sometimes love can be manipulative, manipulative to the extent that it disables your basic sense, instincts and thought process as well. It's funny how he could manipulate me to cut off with all my friends gradually so as to assure that I had nobody to talk to or share with what I was going through. In this society when you are ambitious, intelligent at the same time a woman as well, there are different kinds of struggles that you go through. My pare...

You came to my life And became the poetry That made me smile And forget the dark thoughts You became the door That always had enough light Crossing across me giving me strength You became that hope That ignited new dreams Moving through my wide awake sight You became that thought That moved with me Like a perfume that just had it's own kind of smell You became my 3AM reasons to smile That put me to sleep and Made me forget all the pain You are still my poetry But things have changed Now when I read you I find glimpses of my past Abandonment, giving up, Betrayal and indifference. Maybe you haven't changed Maybe nothing has And I'm back Back to square one Writing again a sad story In form of my poetry This time it's you who broke me heart But still, you are my poetry.

You'll be mine one day and I'll be yours, that's how we will at least assume while narrating our story to others.

When I sent him songs over the phone, To listen with me as we were apart, It made no sense to him, but he did. I had to ask for surprises, And request for flowers, Wait for holding hands, And expect hand written letters, But he wanted me to express, What all I wanted, And I wanted him to know, That I was old school. While I was loving him with all my heart, He was busy calculating the pros and cons, Now we don't talk, Now we aren't together. After thinking over nights, Analyzing over days, I realized, I was an emotional fool, And he was just practical.

The night was long, The loneliness was longer, I re-read your 3AM messages, And fell in love with you all over again.

♥️ Today's Reminder ♥️ Self belief is like a magic potion that boosts up your spirits to another level and so is self esteem. Never allow anyone to pull you down below your self resoect, never let anyone cross that line. Sometimes people start believing and accepting that they deserve to be treated badly, that they deserve to be hurt and disrespected. That is when things change, that is when things get complicated and difficult. It's then when we allow others to take advantage of us, bully us and make us feel small. Equality is important but more than that self respect. It is essential and a compulsory trait for any sensible and good human being. So, don't try to force your life in some direction where it is not meant to be. Life is beautiful and it's worth is defined by our actions. Hence, be nice to yourself. Love, Medhavi . . .

🌟Today's Reminder ♥️ Hey guys, so the last few days were a little tough for me. But here I am, back to myself ! Depression can be fought with, only if you are willing to fight. So I decided to get back at it. Today I'm talking about how we let others take advantage of us, how we prioritize them over other things, people, opportunities etc. It's important to give the correct priority to every important person in our lives, but what about those people who don't reciprocate ? What about those people who never put you first ? Life is full of such thankless people who never realize that they also need to give in relationships. These people can be a part of your life in endless ways, best friend, boy friend, partner, colleague, spouse, sibling, boss, employee.. any damn person. All you need to do is definitely not change yourself but categorize such people and don't let their poison make you weaker and finally kill your spirit. Don't let these people take ...
