Love liberates

"Love liberates. It doesn't just hold—that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind. Love says, 'I love you. I love you if you're in China. I love you if you're across town. I love you if you're in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I'd like to have your arms around me. I'd like to hear your voice in my ear. But that's not possible now, so I love you. Go."

-Maya Angelou

So I wrote a small piece of conversation below and shared with my friend to ask what did he think of this. 
You can have a look too:

"If you find someone better someday, you don't have to stay with me."

'And if You found someone who could make you happier, You don't have to stay with me either. You are free.'

And that was one way they expressed their love for each other.
....

What's your response?
I will tell you my friend's response:

"They both don't want to commit to each other."
"Or are looking for better options."
"And eventually want to love someone better."

That made me laugh but also confused.
And after a deep breath I replied:

What if people doubt if they could be the best for the other person?

They love them but not sure if their way of loving matches what the other really wants.

So they tell the other that look, I love you.
But if you think you found someone else who's better, then please don't stay with me for the sake of me, you are free to go with them if you want. I will allow you because I love you.

His response:
"Complicated."


Hahaha... sure it is, like most things in life!

'If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.'

Anger

Do you get angry and then regret saying something you should have not? When we think of anger, we think of the times when we fought with someone or kept silent and suffered. Today while contemplating on anger, I came across a good understanding and I want to share with you. Anger is a form of energy. Agree? Let's throw out the assumption that anger is bad. Sometimes it is required. So proceed with an open mind. Anger may act as a catalyst towards some solution to a life's problem. It acts as motivation. We think anger is wrong whereas it is of 2 types: C onstructive and D estructive. Do we really need anger? Short answers: In career, yes. In relationship, maybe not. We need some kind of anger with problems to find solutions. Otherwise you must have heard about 'chalta hai' attitude in India. Compromise and adjustment: these doesn't need anger. We ignore our problems and our situation gets worse. It is called escapism. Escaping anger with the help of distractions can...

Change

C hanges are good. It teaches you something new. But the catch is: you may not like it. In fact, it's not easy. It needs rewiring of brain cells that further requires personal effort.  Wouldn't it be better if we keep growing? Picture of the month: A few days back I left my home and went on a journey to an unknown destination. Took a train, reached a village and the rest is one of a memorable experience. It sounds naive, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do and it has no explanation. (Do it cautiously though). Personal Rambling: It kind of makes me sad to say that this is the final newsletter. I am so grateful to you for sticking with me and watching me go crazy with words and photos and whatnot. This small initiative was my way of expressing myself and talking/writing to people. Your replies and thoughts and support meant the world to me. Thank you ♡ I have grown in this while and changed as a person for the good—still a work in progress but more disciplined than b...
