Top 5 Things You will Learn About Pet Parenting

The whole of my formative years, I was always surrounded by pets—either cats or dogs, domesticated cows etc. When we turned into a nuclear family, we had dogs living with us. So being around pets is not new to me, except I never got involved while raising them. I would just be there when things were beautiful and not when they turned ugly, including pet's nature call or sickness. My mother or sister would always be around to take care of them.  In 2020 when I decided to become a pet parent, what did I choose as my pet?

Mother's embrace - Answers to all the nightmares

-
Today I attempted my hands on creating a snippet out of a prompt on nightmare and mother's embrace. I will look forward to your comments.

Anybody out there, she yelled
can someone not hear me, she cried
I am stuck and scared, she pleaded
this place is very dark and icy cold, she wailed
please help me, she continued

 An icy cold nudge lay on her shoulder
she froze but her heart raced
she felt hot and sweaty with fear
her temples damp, her eyes shot with tears
she bellowed her lungs out, leaving her gasping air

 A warm embrace rocked her
It felt familiar, she felt home
hush my baby, she heard her mother say
it's over, it's gone, her mother pacified
Open your eyes, her mother assured
hush my baby hush, you are safe, continued her mother.

Thoughts on void or feeling empty in life

  Today I noticed something very significant while talking to a friend. We both were talking over the phone about the void in our life. We were talking about longing for a specific relationship - companionship. He was sad that to share happiness and sorrow, he doesn't have a significant other. He longs for love and compassion that a partner brings along. I feel his pain for I am going through the same situation too. I didn't want to feel sad because I have a lot on my plate that depresses me. Metaphoric image to represent the feeling discussed in the blog.   On the other hand, I cannot ask my friend to stop to feel that way because feelings are genuine; I think they manifest actions and expressions more strongly. I don't know what got into me, the next moment I heard myself pacifying him. I told him "think like this, void or emptiness is perhaps an opportunity to create a space for someone to be with us. And for someone to be an integral part of life, we

Because you are precious

Courtesy While growing up and even for the matter of fact adulting, you are constantly told that you are unworthy of something. This pines you from the bottom of your heart. You want to tell them they do not have the right to treat you like that, and you are uncomfortable with such harsh words spewed at you. And if you are very sensitive to such trolls, then you experience cold flashes and hot flashes, an undefined anxiety and panic which spirals you down to the labyrinth of self pity.  I am no saint. I have experienced all these when I was a child and also my during my growing years, heck I face such destructive criticism till date. Either people comment on my body weight / shape, or on my nature of being gullible. But now it does not bother me at all. I have stopped accepting validations about me from others. A close friend of mine once told me that I get to choose my battle. It is up to me to educate people on what is right or wrong. To an ignorant, you can never help
