Like every year, this year has been full of lessons. Every step I took and every decision I made taught me something. I understood life’s a few layers more deeply and implemented changes in myself. This year was filled with thousands of incidents and memories. Held the hands of new bonds and let go of the few. I learned to be true to myself in every phase. 


A poetic heart is safe within its rhymes. 


You are always with you,

In the quiet and the loud,

Distance can’t break a bond

It’s your thoughts, 

that crowd.


Loving yourself? 

Not selfish at all,

It’s the first step to standing tall.

Maturity isn’t 

about the years,

It’s about growing past the fears.


Be humble, be kind, and 

let politeness shine,

If they want it, they’ll be on time.

Don’t lose yourself 

for someone else,

You’re your own, in every cell.


Know your body, your heart, your mind,

Self-awareness is peace you’ll find.

Late’s better than never; 

always remember,

Kindness is a flame that burns forever.


Everyone sees things in their way.

Clear words can turn the night to day.

Stick to your values, stand strong,

Be firm in what’s right, all along.


Take care of the ones by your side,

Understand all sides, 

let no truth hide.

Don’t lie to yourself, 

it’s a dangerous game,

Honesty with you will always reign.


Taking a new path isn’t wrong,

It’s where your heart has belonged.

Sometimes life’s 

both hard and clear,

But observe, and everything will appear.


Let your heart shine pure and true,

With kindness, let the world renew.

In every act of love we share,

We find the beauty in how we care.

Lost and Found at the Same Time

It has been a long time since I wrote long-form content, and I realise how much I miss it. After poetry, this is my favourite way of sitting...
