Tomorrow

A guest resource written by Muskan Singh

Hey dear reader, if you are reading this, let me tell you, that I’m one of you. I’ve had my share of ups and downs in life. I’m at a constant battle with depression. There are days when I don’t feel like getting up from bed, when I don’t feel like doing anything and everything seems worthless, even my life. On days like those, I like to re read this poem I wrote when I was going through one of the dark days. It helps me realize, that there’s a bright sunrise waiting for me at the other end of the horizon, all I’ve got to do is, be strong and just walk through this darkness, sooner or later, everything will be better again.

Every failure I’ve ever faced has taught me fall down and bounce back as more stronger, bolder and tougher than ever.
Every place I’ve ever visited has brought me closer to my own home.

Every moment that I’ve ever wasted, every sleepless night, every tear dropping down my eyes has got me into thinking,
is life about all the things we’ve lost or about all the things that we can gain? Is it about the people who’ve betrayed us or left us abandoned half way through or about the people who’ve never let us go? Is it about the numerous hardships we are facing today or about the infinite tales we’d have to narrate when we grow old?

Life is short and we should better not waste it living only on the darker side, we’ve got to figure out something good in every bad and a reason to smile whenever we are sad.
Trust me, together, we’ll find tomorrow.

Origami of Becoming: A doodle journal

A guest post.

We are born into stories. Since time immemorial and the days around the campfire, we have been telling stories. Some stories we carry with us about who we are and what is important for us and we build connections by re-telling these stories. This journal is a canvas for documenting these life stories. It offers you a space to jot down or doodle those small things that get you happy, content, and joyful. And yes, it may be from any story of your life or something that you saw or felt. It can be as vivid as reliving a childhood memory, rewinding your favourite playlist, scrawling words that you hold close or even illustrating secret maps to your hidden wafer packets.

Experiencing alternate venues for therapy sessions

Picture of the lake ! 🙂

My last session for 2018 was by this lake at Sanjay Gandhi National Park. She and I spent two hours under a magnificent tree, occasionally squinting with the sun in our eyes, but also thankful for its warmth that muted the chilly breeze just enough to create that rare, perfect weather day. We had conversations about guavas, relationships, “life ke syaapey” and what “selfish” really means.

Rebirth

A guest post.

You know, there was this girl once.

I used to like her a lot, not in a romantic way, but I did have a deep love for her, and I like to think that she liked me too. We had all these great childhood memories together, memories of us dancing in the rain in the backyard, of our fair visits and doing all the scary rides and eating cotton candy later on, of reading books or playing in our den under the blanket, and of building our tree house and chasing away every intruder.
