The Power of Appreciation; Understanding True Connections

Image
  A recent thought crossed my mind as I revisited my Counselling Practices lectures. I've been journaling and realized that after 31 years, I’ve been giving so much power to the opinions of my friends and family, letting them critique me without considering my own worth. It's okay to receive constructive criticism it helps us grow. A fresh perspective can guide us and calm us during times of anxiety. But somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten that words of affirmation, appreciation, and acknowledgment of someone's efforts can truly make a difference. For years, I hoped my friends would offer this, but instead, I encountered some who would devalue and mock my work, even telling me to my face, "This seems like a joke," when others praised it. It’s as though they never wanted people to see how good I could be. I’ve always lived by the motto “live and let others live,” without being manipulative or meddling in other people's business. But here’s the truth: a...

The Journey of Marriage: Embracing Growth, Love, and Dependency

Image
  I hope this message finds you all well. It's been a while since my last article, and I have to admit, life has been quite the whirlwind. I've been busy folding, wrapping, twisting, and tidying up this new phase of my life. Ms. Sana Bhatti is no longer a "Miss," but a "Mrs." Growing up in Pakistan, it's every parent's dream to see their daughter transition from a single woman to a wife. It's a beautiful milestone, and yet, it comes with its own set of lessons and challenges. Marriage is not just about learning the other person; it’s also a journey of self-discovery. It teaches you so much about your own boundaries, desires, and how to merge your world with someone else's. Understanding and accepting an entire human being who will be by your side 24/7 can feel both daunting and exhilarating. While I strongly believe in taking time to settle into this new chapter, let's also acknowledge that we, as humans, crave companionship and emotional...

Echoes of Redemption

Image
In a world where illusions dance and perceptions wane, Where innocence is buried beneath the crimson stain, We wander lost, strangers in our own reflection, Perhaps our sins have bloomed, birthing this dark intersection.   I hunger, I'm homeless, yearning for love's gentle embrace, Oh, Lord, pardon my kin, lost in their heartless chase. Bless those mourning, their dear ones torn away, In the cruel tides of hate, where compassion's price we pay.   This land, not mine, and in death, my legacy, the good I've sown, Yet my brethren have turned, hearts like stone. Guide them, O Maker, towards redemption's light, May understanding bloom, dispelling the endless night.   As I depart, I dream of a haven anew, Where kindness reigns and care is true, For my eyes have witnessed, my heart endured, In this tapestry of life, where love's essence is assured.  

Within the Chambers of My Mind: A Sanctuary Unveiled

Image
In the intricate tapestry of my mind, I often find myself caught between the peaks of boundless passion and the depths of profound lethargy. There are moments when I soar to the heights of an extremist, envisioning myself scaling mountains and exploring the unseen wonders of underwater realms. Yet, just as swiftly, I plummet into the abyss of procrastination, where even the thought of rising from my bed feels like an insurmountable task. Within the confines of my own thoughts, I feel entangled, a prisoner of my own complexity. It's as though I am trapped in a constant whirlwind of emotions, unable to find the stability I crave. The desire to share these turbulent thoughts with my loved ones is ever-present, yet the fear of being misunderstood, of not having my feelings validated, keeps me silent. In these moments, I yearn for someone to simply sit beside me, to gaze into the depths of my soul with an open heart and without judgment. I crave a love that transcends logic, a love that...

Healed and Whole: Rising

Image
 There were days where i couldn’t smile I had lost my ability to shine I allowed a thief like you to break me  And see by letting my guard down I not only ruined my body, But injured my soul for four long years I cried, i begged and played all my cards to win you back Oh, so naive i was for your mere attention i would go deep and beyond The girl in me died when she changed her morales for you I was just another pit stop till you chose that was meant for you But i am glad that i am no longer that person I have grown as an individual and you’ve been my best motivator I am more secure, the love that i yearned for found me and believe me it was the magic that i was searching for.

You found me ! My Forever

Image
  I was chasing something so unknown Afraid to loose it, I held it too close Not knowing it was breaking me everyday, I never for once allowed myself to let go. You found me when I was on my low,  My doubts let loose, when you hold me safely in your arms God's plan was so special, I was blind to recognize such a beautiful union.  Thankyou, for being my forever, Your smile, your sincerity, your unconditional love has melted away my insecurities An amazing grace has filled my heart and only gratitude is flowing You're my sunshine i seek light from in my darkest moments You're my hope and love i longed for so deep. 

Her Strength

Image
  Hello, beautiful souls. It's been a while since my last expression. I saw this verse and upon reading it i felt it in my heart to share with you all. The Lord indeed works in mysterious ways, and there is no doubt our strength comes from the Almighty no matter what the problem is trust His process and He will make sure to get you through. over the years i cried and complained but never gave praises and thanks. But what i am today is because of Him. He has been with me through out and have carried me on eagle wings. The years have been difficult but there was always a way out. As i am writing this i am not sure who needs to hear it; but believe in your prayers and as always trust His process don't interrupt with your doubts and assumptions. Let things flow, you cannot be the master of everything, we are not perfect and the urge we all have to show case our perfectionism is too hefty and burdening. Learn from your mistakes, and move forward and above all try becoming a good hum...
