oh to be loved, to be adored, to be obsessed over, to be noticed, to be heard, to be touched, to be desired
I want to send you letters darling. But I can't. I want to shower you with my affection but I can't. I want to kiss away all your worries but I can't.
GREEN WITH ENVY
And today I repent my loss
I wail, thinking about the future scenarios
What will I do when I see him with his lover?
The same old thing.
I'll be green with envy
Imagine myself in her place
Think about all the things she has which I don't posses
All things which made him choose her instead of me
I'll downgrade myself
Let go of the last string of the self esteem keeping me intact
And commit the crime of comparing myself with her
Whenever I'll see him, I'll see her in him
Whenever I'll see her, I'll see myself in her
Even if I move on
I'll still shed tears over something which could have been possible
Once again I'll bleed silently over the thoughts of mere possibility.
The earthy smell of rain is one of the most divine scents I’ve ever beheld.
While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas:
Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.
Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.
Concussion
This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.
Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.
Road Rash
The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.
Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.
Deep Laceration
A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.
Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.
Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

The only way I can have you is through my poetry. These words are what I find my comfort in.
Am I this hard to love?
And I wondered what it was like to be chosen. I was never chosen. I was a maybe, a probably, sometimes even a definitely but never the one, never the chosen one.

Whoever made this I love you🫶
Hey babe are you today's date because May 13, May 13, May 13, May 13, mai gehra tamas tu sunhera savera
When you see everyone around you falling in love but you are the epitome of teh senseless desire to be wanted and to be loved so ardently but you've never been in love and nobody has ever been in love with you, it Hurts. It hurts so bad that you start to doubt your whole existence. You think you are a failure in this world. Some billion people in the world and you are incompatible to make one of them fall in love with you. It seems like you've lost everything in life because you don't have the warm embrace during the winter nights and the solace during the rainy days. It hurts so much that you feel like giving up on life . Because you picture your life and you see no romantic relationship whatsoever even in the future. You start to question your existence and it hurts.
You look ill. You must be suffering from a lack of vitamin ME.

Me at every minor inconvenience:
The cliche
The moth is fragile
In its free spirited agile
It flatters its wings with delicacy
Without any colours it's still pretty
There's the raging fire
To destroy all is what it aspire
Consumes everything through its power
It doesn't let escape, it devours
Why shall the opposite ends of a string come together?
The moth, it loves the flames
All it thinks about
Throughout it's existence is
Fire
It thinks it belongs with fire
It anticipated it's whole life
To meet someone like fire
But lost it's hope halfway through it
Contemplated, something like fire doesn't exists
Settles for something bright but plastic
But
The moth, does come across the fire
All its life, the moth, passionately
Only loved fire
And now the time comes
When it will attend its salvation
It sprints to the fire
As if it is oxygen
And it destroys itself
In the Rage of fire
All the love, the moth, accumulated
Gone into the wind
It fades into dust.

These are the type of similarities that make a relationship strong.
I feel like you drained my energy. I was so delusional that I blurred out all the other important moments of my life just so you could stay in focus. I refused to do anything other than memorise your name. I read the foriegn language which your eyes wrote for me. I cherished your touch like it made me feel like gold. I gave you too much importance. And that was the path I was laying for my own destruction.
Sometimes I feel like I am the one who is the villain. Because everyone else cannot be lying. They all eventually leave me behind. My friends,they all leave me at some point. What do I do or do not do?
My bad, I thought it was something special. But you’re just being kind. Sorry that I took it differently.
Dont let our boats sink!

Often I vehemently conceive
What sin I performed
That I was given a birth of a woman
A birth which accompanies
Such hardships
So much of criticism
Such pain
Such tyranny
Forced enslavement
Ohh the subjugation
Dont forget the cruelty and injustice
Partiality and many more GIFTS
Gifts which I didn't wish for
Gifts which i dont want to perceive
Whatever i do
I'm not enough
Was never enough
Will never be enough
The fact that we give life to this world
Is consigned to oblivion
The story of every girl is different
Yet so same
For the storyline maybe varying
They possess the same core
Same torture, same crying
Same suppression
With different characters
Actors
Directors
And producers
The story is heart wrenching
Yet unvoiced
If voiced, two possibilities
It gains too much popularity initially
Then forgotten forever
Or
It gets thrashed in the dark room
Locked by speculation, family ,friends ,criticism,alligations , you name it and it's there
Light of the ancestral lamp,
We would never be
Whatever we achieve
We are rotten in the houses of our husbands
May you be a prime minister of the nation
Serve to your counterparts
Not because you want to
Because it's our tradition
Tradition my foot
A tradition which obliges women
To be a servant
To be a maid
To be a punching bag
To be only a fucking device
To forget about her emotions
To live only for your husband
And never for yourself!??
When we the young women
Raise our voices and dare to rebel
We are honoured with such "wonderful" words
I dont have to tell you
Rather I choose not to tell !
They try to suppress us
But we are resilient
If not
We should thrive to be resilient
We are floating in the same boats
And if any day
Our boats are sinking
We jump right into the water to save ourselves
Not waiting for some man to rescue us
We should learn how to swim in the masses of folks who dont value us
We should learn to swim so that we are not dependent on the society of hypocrites
And if possible dont let our boats sink !
***
All the folks out there share it with your lovely friends
All love💌
Yours ,
Khatal.
