Forget The Typical Affirmations Of “you’re Looking Beautiful, Pretty Or Hot.” I Need Someone To

Roses don't bloom quickly because, like any great work of art, beauty needs time to develop. Our love also blossoms in a very gradual, lovely way at its own speed, much like the rose. It's so lovely to witness how our relationship emits beautiful, wonderful sentiments at its own speed. Sometimes the thorns serve as a reminder that love may be painful, but the roses serve as a diversion and convince me that our love is also filled with beauty, affection, and passion. The rose will always represent how we are at our core true romantics.

it's okay to be bad in someone's story

Elaichi's real place is in chai, not biryani

"She studied the mythical book while seated in the library, holding a coffee in one hand and a pen in the other. She was so immersed in her book that she didn't even realize she had been disconnected from reality." - Devi

You might feel insecure about yourself and doubt your abilities but just know that there is one person who is soulfully rooting for you. Don't doubt yourself, you are special and important for someone. you are worthy of being loved. you are worthy of being heard.

just look how rare and beautiful you are !!

devi: the goddess within

i have often heard people refer to women as devi insisting on their divinity. but often the implications are about Sati or Sita; the ones who perform sacrifices as their earthly duties. but what if she’s not?

what if she’s a mere human with many many faults and flaws that she works on diligently? what if instead of being single dimensional, she’s kaleidoscopic? what if she’s wrathful like Chandi but also demure like Gauri? what if she’s the source of life like Aditi but also dwells in cremation grounds like Kali? what if she’s wise like Saraswati but also possesses immense beauty like Laxmi?

if you really think about it, perhaps her dharma is only to figure out her life and honor her own light. perhaps, the reason she exists is for herself but she chooses to welcome others and love them. perhaps, she is the embodiment of all the devis; but on her own terms, just how she wants to be.

I seriously think boys need a apprecation post. So here it goes

Boys in general are really pretty and adorable.

Boys with slightly long and wavy hair. Boys who loves reading. Boys who loves talking about their interests. Boys who go head over heels for their significant other. Boy who have dimples. Boys who compliments. Boys who sing. Boys who like kids and nice to them. Boys who don't mock or tease on sensitive topics. Boys with brown eyes (those eyes glow under the sun). Boys who knows to control their anger. Boys who lets you know if they are busy (not to make you worried). Boys who like boybands. Boys who play instruments. Boys who don't degrade someone for doing something different. Boys who respects women.

Just ✨boys✨.

"I made a mistake in what I did. The past few days, I didn't feel like myself. I was being brutal and rude. According to what you've told me, all the men in your life—aside from your father—have treated you cruelly and crudely. And I've devoted my entire being to avoiding being one of those. Unfortunately, I have in fact joined that group. I apologise." (a note found in a guy's diary)

Girl friendships>>>>>

while glorifying males and their unmatched loyalty in friendships, we forgot where we learnt friendship from and ironically we learn it from our girl friends. People say that men are big at their heart and they would do anything for their "bros" but the truth is I've never come across a single woman who would not become a saviour every time I would need a pad in a public loo, and mind you, we may not even know each other. People say women gossip a lot, but my girls were the ones who sat through the nights with me listening to my unhinged stories when I felt like I would never feel understood. People say women fight over petty things, but my girls were the ones who helped me get out of bed every morning when my depression would be so bad and the world would say I'm overreacting. People say women easily get jealous, but somehow it's always these girls who are catching me up if I miss the lecture some day and every time I compliment a girl's dress, she would tell me where she got it from, or if I tell a girl her lipstick looks fine, she would give me the exact shade code. People say women are silly, and I agree, because only my girls would sit with me and listen to my silly conversations with my silly crush again and again and give a proper reaction every time. I could tell a guy friend the biggest problem of my life, and the most he'd say would be: "it'll be okay, bro", but my girls? I'd tell my girl friends about my slightly disturbed bowel movements, and after running a detailed analysis on why that could be, she would continue to ask me follow up questions for weeks, even when I'd have forgotten it. Women are honestly the creatures of heart, no one can do love and friendship better than them, but somehow the society has fooled us into believing that its uncool to be a woman, and that men have better, durable bonds with each other. Not to compare or anything, but the world suicide rates suggest otherwise. I'm grateful every day for being a woman, and for my girlies ♡
