Trust Yourself

There comes a time in your life when you learn not to trust people. It's hard to believe their words. Words are nothing unless you implement. And many people fail to do so. Most people are inconsistent. Some, even when you think you know them well, are ultimately unknowable. Hence you start to believe that you can never meet someone your kind. Someone who'd be loyal and honest and caring and loving like you. You either love too much or you don't. There's no in between. So when people say they just don't love you the same way, believe them. Believe the fact that the love they had for you is no more and they're only trying to sugarcoat it.

It's hard to believe that, isn't it? Cause you've put in all the effort to keep them. You've given them all the love you ever had. You tried and fought as hard as you could. But the truth is, people change. As distressing as this may sound, sooner or later you just have to accept this. And acceptance is the only thing that can free you from all the sadness and all the anger that is inside of you.
You come to realize that no matter how hard you try, how much you love, some people just can't be right for you. Loss and gain, sadness and happiness, it all goes away with time. They don't stay forever. What they do to us is what remains. But you have to keep going. Be thankful for what they've given, whether it's love, pain, a lesson or just memories to look back at.
You look back on everything you've been through and you realize how much you've grown. How hard things were but somehow you managed to move on from them. You managed to forget about them. And that's a lot to be thankful for.
And the truth is, deep down we're all aware of what will make us happier. But in reality what we really want is unattainable. So we settle for less and stay unhappy. We often become depressed. But there is hope. Prayer. It can change your life in an instant. In order to recover, have faith, it's crucial.

Dear Daddy, An letter to my father

Dear daddy, 
Thank you for looking after me so well, and making me who I'm today, you've always been my Superman. I know you think about me at least thrice a day. You wonder if your decision of getting me married to him was good and if he treats me like you always do. Daddy, he's just like you. He likes perfect food with perfect ingredients and doesn't like Chinese and I remember you don't like Chinese as well. His cup of tea has to be very perfect, strong and no excessive drop of milk and this reminds me of how I used to get scared of making your tea.

Daddy, your scent lingers on your clothes when you hang them in your cupboard like his scent does and he uses the same perfume which makes me realise more that I see you in him. And when we go out he asks me if I want anything, like you always do. I smile, hold my tears back and say no. I don't know why, I get a little hesitated. May be because he's not you even though he's just like you. And when some little boy brings flower garlands, he instantly buys one for me like you do. Both of you know how much I cherish them. I wait for Tuesdays so that I can be your little girl, smell your perfume and sleep in your room beside mommy.
Dear daddy, I know you adore me and I remember how you had cried when I was about to sign the marriage papers. It was hard for you. And on the wedding day you held your tears back and gave your precious little girl to him. I saw your tears and felt your pain. You were happy and sad at the same time. And when it was time to change my name on Facebook and my ID, I felt like I was about to change my identity. Daddy, Even though I'm married and I don't talk to you everyday, I miss your warm hugs and soft smiles. I know you'll still protect me from dangers and lizards. Even cockroaches, you know how much I hated them.
Dear daddy. I know.. I know I would still run to you when I face any problem because you're my hero and you've always been one. Dear daddy, I know I can't thank you for what you've done for me and what you still do but my dear daddy, I will still try.
Your youngest daughter.
