I’m a layman when it comes to penning down sentences in such a manner that they sound magical when spoken or read.

I don’t know anything about filling life in words but I just take the help of words to define life in my own way.

A lot of my readers are young women and I usually get a lot of messages in the form of questions such as, “is love dead?” “Am I not lovable enough?” “Will I end up alone?” Or claiming, “I’m so depressed because my significant other just broke up with me.”

Now that’s a lot of negative shots to bat off and there is just one message that I have for all the youngsters going through a tough time.

I want to specify a well known fact once again just to help you remind that life is an unpredictable road which you have to travel on because it’s the only path that leads you to your final destination.

You will break a thousand times during this journey but you shall always find the strength to rebuild yourself and you will only find that force in you.

There is both good and bad present in this world in equal amounts, it just depends on what you choose to see and give and what you choose to follow.

Now answering those questions you little darlings have asked -Is love dead? No, absolutely not. Love is immortal my darling. These days we feel this urgent rush to get involved with someone because everyone nowadays has a lover back home and who doesn’t want to fit? People don’t want to be left out yet they are so alone.

People have started seeing love as a trend. Yes, exactly… We treat love like it’s a trend and hence we wrap ourselves around it. Love is not dead, it’s very much alive, It’s just that people have stopped looking for it. People no longer have the patience for love… We hang somewhere between infatuation and lust.

Am I not lovable enough? If that’s what you think of yourself then you are sadly mistaken. You are a beautiful human being who has a warm fuzzy heart, who listens to old love songs and even imagines herself in it, you are the girl who reads all these romantic novels and fantasise about the love of her life. You don’t need people’s validation. Seek that for yourself from yourself and you are sorted. You are all about giving love and you are all about being loved. Period.

Will I end up alone? Until or unless that’s exactly the kind of life you are striving for. You want to live in a glass bungalow with your dogs and cats. I get it. But if this thought ponders upon you because of a failed relationship or a bunch of them then you really need to erase that thought and let love be your friend again. Your first relationship might not be the best but it’s not your last. You are bound to fall in love again and if you fall for someone with a bag full of expectations then trust me you are built to dissolve. When you fall in love just make sure that you love right. You make efforts, you stay real and you make your share of fair sacrifice. If all these things are reciprocated then you will know it on your own and if not… Then you know the person is not worth your time. People leave clues everywhere, even their silence speaks for itself. You can easily find out how someone is treating you or how will they treat you in future based on scanning their current behaviour. It’s all in black and white and it stands right in front of your eyes like a crystal clear image but you still choose to ignore reality and side with something you hope would soon be real. Truth is… It never will. With the right ones there is usually no battle, just peace and when you are around somebody like that… You will know. You will just know. Trust me. Just let your heart speak and for a minute, calm down those impatient nerves and listen to your heart. It has a way to talk and when it does and you listen… EVERYTHING falls into place.

Don’t be depressed over failed relationships. The first thing you need to do is be your own best friend and genuinely start caring about yourself. Your mental health is too precious to be wasted over some people who barely ever loved you. Those were just words that they spoke and your heart somehow believed in them more than your eyes that never got to see these words reach to you in the form of actions. Your ex never showed all the good, real and magical things they kept telling you over and over again and that’s why they are your “ex.” Love is imposible without expression in the form of actions/ gestures.

Love will beat its path to you once you beat a path to self love and accept yourself for eveything that you are.

Love stories are beautiful- keep watching them. Love songs are great- keep listening to them. People in love are cute- extract happiness from them and love is real just let it find you.
