Diary of an Introvert

 Lately I've learned life's a mystery deep,
Too wild to predict, too fragile to keep.
No use in regrets or fearing what's near,
The moment is now—be present, sincere. Each morning I rise, I silently pray,
Grateful my feet touch the ground today.
Humble in heart, with peace as my guide,
I walk through the storm, with love by my side. Let things just flow, let kindness be shown,
Forgive and release all the hurt I’ve known.
Love with no limits, give all I can give,
For this is the only true way to live. Don’t act like another, don’t play a part,
Stop the comparing—it breaks the heart.
Each breath’s a blessing, each moment a chance,
To break from the numbness and truly dance. The world is aching, the skies are gray,
Not by nukes—but worry eats us away.
We build up walls, then tear down trust,
Chasing tomorrows that turn into dust. We witness war, see children cry,
Nations fall under a blood-red sky.
What are we doing? Where is the grace?
We've made a mess of this sacred pla...

  I am a blessing, sent from the skies,
The spark in your soul, the truth in your eyes.
I am your daughter, your blood, your light,
Your savior who rises through every night. I birthed the stars, the moon, the sea,
The echo of life flows through me.
God hears my prayers, both loud and low,
God made me equal this I know. Never your servant, nor your slave,
But a favor from Heaven, divinely brave.
Yet when I say NO, I’m met with death,
Silenced still with every breath. I bite my tongue, I hide my pain,
But storms are building in my vein.
Enough! I roar, I've cried too long,
My silence was mistaken for being wrong. If I choose to pray for your downfall's day,
You’d vanish like dust, swept away.
If I can turn the world around,
Imagine the strength where I'm truly unbound. A miracle born, a soul so grand,
A savior shaped by God’s own hand.
I am a woman, grace and might,
A sacred flame, eternal light. Don’t take me lightly, don’t dismiss,
I’m more than pain, more than this.
No lo...

  I know now what love feels like It’s calm, it’s steady, never spike. A gentle hand, a steady flame, That shows up daily, just the same. It isn’t selfish, full of doubt, It doesn’t scream or shut you out. It’s patient through the storms and pain, A quiet trust that will remain. It takes some time, it needs to grow, With space to breathe, and room to flow. It’s healing wounds we used to hide, And standing softly by your side. It’s knowing, deep within your soul, That being you is always whole. No need to change, no mask to wear  Real love is simply being there ☘️

  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...

  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...

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.  

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...
