There are times when all I want is to reduce to mere fragments or to fade away into ashes. Whatever be the cause, many of us might have felt this way at one point or another.

But guess what? We're strong, you are, I am, we are.

You may feel I'm no one to tell you to stay strong when all you (might) wanna do is give up. But, honey, let me tell you it's going to feel worthwhile.

Ever smell your favourite smell (be it anything from petrichor (my favourite!) to petrol or paint (honestly don't like either) or your favourite perfume) and think that life is beautiful? Life is beautiful, so beautiful, but sadly we mostly only realize it when we're about to leave it.

You don't want to give up this beautiful gift we've had the privilege to have experienced for however long we've experienced it. Every second of this life is a marvel.

Those words don't seem to carry much weightage coming from a girl who's not even two decades old but whoever said maturity only always comes with age must've been befuddled.

Stay strong, for yourself and for those who love you. I'm not so enthusiastic about having to add the latter part because I don't think anyone should live purely by what they think others might think but love is a mysterious force.

Many times I wish I could have this shirt so I can have this reminder everywhere.

Now, staying strong doesn't mean you don't show your emotions, your feelings. It means you brave them, you face them, you fabulous phenomenon!

No matter what happens, I'll accept you for who you are and love you regardless. My inbox is always open to anyone who needs to talk. About anything.

Love y'all loads! 😘 😘
