Knowing you're not okay is one thing, but avoiding those feelings teaches your brain they're dangerous. When we avoid our feelings, our brain thinks there's a threat. This habit makes us believe that painful emotions are something to be scared of, setting us up for emotional fragility and pain. It’s like constantly walking on eggshells, afraid of the next emotional blow-up. Instead, teach your brain that difficult emotions aren't dangerous by talking about them honestly with yourself and …
Memories and Moments
The hardest part in life, they say, Is when the one you love goes away. They gave me memories, pure and bright, But now they're gone, like a fading light. My parents and grandparents, strong and bold, Aging slowly, growing old. I saw the signs but chose to ignore, Until loss knocked on my heart's door. A loved one passed, I wasn't there, I thought I had time, but life isn't fair. Years slipped by, guilt took hold, A sorrow so deep, a story untold. Her absence left a scar so deep, It wakes me …

पहाड़ों की कहानी, हौसले की जुबानी
पहाड़ों का सफर, दिल की एक कहानी,कदम दर कदम, मिलती नई निशानी।डर और शक को पीछे छोड़ आई,हर ट्रेक पर नई मैं बनती आई। रास्ते थे टेढ़े, कहीं ऊंचाई, कहीं ढलान,दोस्ती और हिम्मत ने दी नई पहचान।कभी थकान में छिपी मुस्कान, कभी जोश में थी जान,हर कदम ने सिखाया, सच्चाई का एक नया अरमान। खुद को खोजने का सफर था ये अनोखा,हर मोड़ पर मिला खुद का ही एक टुकड़ा।पहाड़ों ने सिखाया, कैसे पाएं हम अपनी ताकत,हर चोटी पर मिली, हौसले की एक नई विरासत। अनजाने रास्तों में, डर को किया पार,खुद को जाना, हौसले की उठाई …
