Acceptance vs Forgiveness. Or Both?

Forgive yourself when you...

- binge watch the entire season, when you were supposed to do the dishes
- stay up & wake up way too late
- eat that extra plate of food
- don't manage to ace your learning schedule every single day

Acceptance starts with forgiving. Forgiving yourself is the first step to forgiving others.

You decide whether to let that SMILE fade or grow.

    Why does engaging in something that gives happiness needs apologies?

      It sure doesn't need apologies. Forgiveness is not the same as apologising. Very different.

It's a LEAP year and my first blog post!

Image
My first blog post had to be about the person who encouraged me to share a CUP of ME, all over again! It sure was a LEAP of faith. Also, here's to the biggest leap I took in my life. My Dec 2019 was a leap because... I decided to enter my leap year by getting married to the man I love and life is only getting better, or so I hope... 🥰 To my everything and my nothing, I can't believe its a LEAP year... But, jokes apart... It's been 4 years 1461 days 209 weeks 48 months 35064 hours 2102024 hours and we're still counting. I want to tell you so many things but I'll stick to the things I cannot miss telling you... 4 years ago, today - you became the best right swipe of my life and the person I wished to be with, when I wanted to be alone. Love, From your everything and your nothing! P.S: I'm sooooooooooo thrilled to spend the unexpectedly long week with you. I must've done something right, to have gotten...

The BLACK Mirage: The way my favourite BLACK dress amplified, everything I was trying to tone down.

Image
"For the longest time, BLACK was my go-to colour. It’s sleek, it’s versatile, and most importantly, it camouflages." As someone who struggled with body image issues, I found solace in the dark shades that seemed to hide my perceived flaws. But as I've come to realize, wearing black wasn't helping me overcome those insecurities; it was merely masking them. There’s a common misconception that black is universally slimming and flattering, especially for those with larger bodies. While it’s true that black can create the illusion of a slimmer silhouette by minimizing contrast, it doesn’t address the underlying issues that contribute to negative body image. Instead of confronting our insecurities head-on, we often resort to covering them up with dark clothing, hoping they'll disappear along with the shadows. But the truth is, our bodies are not the problem; it's our perception of them that needs to change. About a decade ago, at the tender age of 22, I made a consc...

Husband Appreciation Post 🙂

Image
My nth #Husband appreciation post. But, necessary. Read on.. if you care! 😊 . . . . . . . . . This day was #mentally exhausting. It started off with choosing what to wear & an occasion of planning what to wear usually got me excited. But, this time it terrified me. Similarly, I could tango in heels, but I just couldn't this time, couldn't wear them even for a minute. I decided to wear my favourite flats, the goga mat one, @skechers my go-to slippers. Then a bug that usually is repelled by me, bit me. The cringe-worthy "log kya kahenge?" @jay__doshi stepped in and asked... "Are you comfortable in it?" I yelped "YES!" And so he said, "screw the look, if you're comfortable, you look the best in my vision!" Love you My 🌞🌝 & 🪨 for always helping me choose my mental health, first. Sorry, for the times when I hurt you, while safeguarding myself. The song he dedicated to me is playing in the background ❤️ #healthylifes...
