THIS touched my heart...

Love..

Today I realized that no matter how hard things get in the way of reaching a point where you can finally be with someone who truly loves you, .... you somehow find the patience and the strength to endure all of it ...

Because I think, there is no greater feeling of achievement... or no greater feeling of fulfillment, than having found the one person you chose to love...and to have them love you back, inspite of all your crazies and cons...

FINALLY , I think I can see a point in a lot of things that otherwise seemed to puzzle my very soul.....

Cheers! to together-ness!

Mute realizations...

I believe, the biggest battle I will ever fight- would be with my own self, all along with my limitations that I have built around my own self.. my own ideas... my own griefs....

And the biggest victory of all would be when I would truly be able to take a plunge into something unknown...knowing full well that it is my fears that are holding me back so far...Just taking that plunge will be extra-ordinary enuf... each time... untill it becomes a habit..

And the hardest thing is to acknowledge your own fears... untill their intensity blinds you..... and yet hear the small voice inside that questions, the whole point of the fear's existence..

(I know this seems like rambling...but ....)

Mirror! Mirror ...on the wall....

One of the hardest thing to do I believe, is to come face to face with your own shortcomings. . .Or getting to that level of deeper self understanding, and realizing that everything you believed to be true about yourself so far, turns out to be so wrong!!..(.and on so many different levels)...Its like a splash of icy cold water stinging the eyes and making it impossible to look in the mirror.Drenched, shivering ashamed, avoiding any eye contact.I was recently in a mess like that...faced with my own absurdity, inadequacy and I dont like the bitter tastin,shocking truth... I don't like it.I don't like the way it makes my body go numb, my breathing labored and my heart fall into the pit of my stomach.At one point,I really did want to crawl into a pit and die.All the bad adjectives that I had used to describe "dysfunctional" individuals, now fit appropriately...on ME...and I know that its gonna take quite some time for me to make my head stop reeling, every time I think of it...

But..

Whats the damn use of beating myself up? Right...? Even though I am floating in a miserable no-where land...limbo whatever, right now..I really am desperately trying the reach that place of mute, confident acceptance of these shortcomings.Next stop of course would be dealing-with-it.Before I methodically destroy everything that is near and dear to me,with my own hands.Till then of course I will still affirm,that I cant remember the last time I was in this foul mood and felt this shitty.And its also a very harsh reminder of how hard it is, to dance to your own tune.Time to prove,by doing. DAMN! I reasoned that I can probably lie to myself and fool myself this one more time too...like that very first time I failed miserably...Right? Blame this..blame that..blame him..blame her! But if it happens again, in the exact same way... who would I be really kidding?? And to gain what? More failure patterns?

I can say right now that shouldering complete and sole responsibility of anything and everything that happens in life,IS the HARDEST thing to do..the worst battle to venture in. Because then comes the ugly realization that you yourself are in fact,your own worst enemy.

But its worth it.I mean, I truly hope so,that in the end it will be.Totally worth the pain,the injuries and wounds on your own self-imagined image.(?)
I look at my the shattered pieces of my confidence now, as they mock and haunt me, even as I sleep and am desperately trying to draw on every tiny bit of courage I have in me..to try and put them back together...

..One piece at a time.
