Startled a bit?
Well this is me.
And this is you too.
This is each and every single one of us.
Some of us are too afraid to stand up for ourselves.
Some of us prefer silence when we see others suffer.
We're all the same.
Eyes closed, hands tied back and the mind? Well we've shut it down ourselves.
I'm not asking for you to wage a war.
I'm asking you to open your eyes, to recognize your rights as an individual.
I'm not asking you to use a weapon for your protection, I'm merely asking you to use your mind.
I'm not asking you to become a superhero, I'm asking you to at least recognize the pain of others and try your LEVEL BEST to ease it. Do anything you can.
We all have our own capacities, and I'm only asking you to work within them. I'm not asking you to change overnight. I'm asking you to at least take a step.
We're all victims of something, and so are those around us. Depression, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, abuse...the list can go on.
At least open your eyes, let your mind think, let your heart guide you to positivity and then take an action.
That action doesn't have to be big, it just has to be a positive contribution, to your well-being and those of others.
If you are positive from within, nothing can break you apart.
Nothing can cause you to harm another.
Nothing can stop you from helping those who are being victimized.
I'm not asking you to do much, I'm just asking you to turn to positivity, to liveliness, to optimism, to philanthropy, to being a better individual...to being more contended.
If all us were happy from within, we would be prepared to face all that came our way. We'd show our enemy nothing can bring us down. We'd not fall behind, we'd lead people.
So open your eyes and look for what brings positivity in your lives. Look for it because it is what will change your future and that of others.
Look for it like I did and today I can say that I'm no longer the person in that picture. I'm more positive than I ever was. I have opened my eyes and removed that tape. I am prepared to face my troubles with open eyes and to speak for myself and for others.
Almost a year ago I began writing my blog and I realized nothing made me more positive than penning down everything I saw. It made me feel if even one person read what I wrote, I might just make that person realize something vital.
From Instagram, to eBlogger, to two novels on Wattpad, I have I made quite a journey this year.
I may just be a young scribbler who's opinions may clash with yours, who's probably writing down in the most childish ways she can. But this scribbler is learning to look around her. To look at people who go through breakdowns just like her. Who've been dejected, who've been though depression, who've not lead quite a simple life. This ability to recognize pain has not only brought me more closer to my Lord, but has opened my eyes so much that today I find myself a lot more positive in any situation than I ever was.
Ten years later I may be laughing at my own work for being highly immature. But ten years later the person laughing will be so because this amateur writer within her taught her to look at others. To realize she's not the only who gets sad and those before, with and after her have, are and will fight with their fears and troubles, and she too has to do the same.
As I complete one year of my journey as a blogger I would like to thank everyone who encouraged me all along.
My biggest supports will never know how much they've helped me progress this year but to sum it up I can tell you something.
A few months ago I was asked by a team of people, consider it a highly official sort of interview. They asked me what is the one achievement that I think is my biggest to date.
I told them I'm a blogger and only my facebook friends know that I'm the person behind that blog. When someone other than them messages me on instagram and thanks me for writing something that made them realize they aren't alone, gave them a new hope to get back on track, nothing can leave me more contended than to help someone from behind a computer screen by merely typing a few words, someone who doesn't even know me.
Make me feel more self-accomplished, more positive.
Look around for your key to positivity, and use it to unlock the handful of positive vibes you can spread.

An Open Letter to the Woman who Slept with my Husband
I don’t know what to say, to discuss morals or ethics, or to comment on your excessive frankness with my husband.
I don’t know if I should blame you for breaking my house, or if I should be sorry for you leading yourself to a dark pit.
You slept your way through to having a shoulder to rest on, but you seduced yourself into falling for a thankless man.
You lured a man into believing he needed you, but you ensnared yourself in a web of lies.
You beguiled him into believing I wasn’t enough, but you gripped onto a man I’m choosing to let go, a rejected man.
You held him spellbound at the sight of your beauty, but you dropped your dignity as you did that.
You seized his attention, his touch, his feel, but you failed to make him feel anything when he held you.
You caught his eye and so he wanted you all to himself, but you failed to grasp him when he still ran to others.
You made yourself believe you were the last in his life, but you failed to see you were just another.
You dropped down everything for him, but all he chose to drop was the barrier of shame.
You found yourself a man, but failed to find a partner who loved you passionately.
His passion was to play with beautiful things, and you let him believe your beauty was another one of them.
I don’t know if I should be thankful to you for showing me his real face, or feel sorry for you for how you lead me to removing my blindfold of trust.
I’m leaving him not only because he broke my heart, but because he trampled on my self-esteem as he did so.
He led me to believe I wasn’t a good wife but now I have realised I wasn’t just good enough for him.
I wasn’t good enough, not because I lacked something, I was just more than he could handle.
I am beautiful but not as scarcely as he wants, my soul adds to my beauty more than the physical he can bear.
I am faithful but not as limited as only maintaining loyalty to hiding his dark side, I’m true-blue to my inner-self, prepared to let go of anything that harms me.
And so I’m parting ways from him, because I cannot let his complex break me, his complex that I’m beyond what he wants.
I cannot let him search for those that please him, right before my eyes to believe I’m not worth him.
Yes maybe I’m just not worth him, because our standards of worth don’t match. Mine begin straight from honesty, and that word has no standing on his list.
I’m moving on in life and I hope someday you too, you move on to realise you’re worth more than such a man’s temporary attention.

Warrior
There are people who will pull you down,
Who will mock at all your losses,
So show them that the real fighter is,
Behind him, his problems who tosses,
There are people who will point what all you lack,
Who will laugh at all your flaws,
So show them the real winner is,
With his own hands, his future who draws,
There are people who will enjoy you breaking down,
Who will look upon your courage with a frown,
So show them the real challenger is,
Who builds a castle of hopes, in an abandoned town,
There are people who will number your worth,
Who will roll boulders down your path,
So show them they cannot stop you,
Let them burn in their own wrath,
There are people who will judge you for who you are,
Who will inspect you like a material,
So show them who the real realist is,
Who's not bothered by issues so trivial,
There are people who will torment you like hell,
Who will only aim to hurt,
So show them who the real warrior is,
His troubles, who knows how to avert,
There are people who will thwart you,
Who will leave no chance to impede,
So show them who is headstrong,
That would fail, each one of their misdeed.

Defining Feminism
"Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment."
Some people need to roat learn this definition. Feminism is not a crime, it's a belief that we need to overcome today's realities where women are treated as inferior to men. It isn't an issue of the rural alone, in the urban areas to the dilemma exits, consider merely the wage differential. Anyone can choose to be a feminist, genders don't define your beliefs. Feminism is a movement against male chauvinism, not against the entire male gender or every single man. Yes men and women differ in certain ways and yes not all women may be able to equally compete with men in each of life's races, but that doesn't mean women are inferior. Incapability and inferiority are two things poles apart. Inferiority is what someone faces due to the norms of the society. Incapability is something that only sets us apart from someone else, doesn't declare us as below them. Incapability can be tried to overcome but even a feminist agrees it has certain boundaries too. Women bear a lot a man can not, same way men do a lot every woman may not be able to do. Feminism agrees to it and only asks for the opportunity to be given a chance to try to overcome those incapabilities.
No man is born as a perfect individual, he too progresses, but easily because he has no barriers set for him. Feminism demands the same for women, to be given that right to excel without any halts or limitations. Feminism only speaks for the biases set by our society declaring women inferior to men, which basically violates the human rights too.
Feminism does not define sexuality or hatred, feminism defines a movement for some of women's rights as a human being. Feminism doesn't define a woman's preference as to how she acts or dresses. That is a women's individual choice, not a part of the ideology of feminism. Feminism demands for the right for women to make their decisions, feminism doesn't support every wrong decision she takes.
Women have rights no matter what religion they follow, and feminism speaks for their rights. Yes religious preferences may effect as to the span of the issues that come under feminism for every women individually, but still no one can deny her rights as a whole.
I'm a feminist, yes I demand equal rights for women. But I respect certain limitations too. I am a feminist like many others around the globe, but that doesn't define everything another feminist believes to be a woman's right is exactly what I believe in too. I'm a feminist who doesn't support body shaming, but I'm feminist who doesn't support indecency either. I'm a feminist who doesn't believe a woman should have to face domestic violence and that she shouldn't be the one forced to give up. But then I do believe a woman's sacrifices for her family aren't wrong only if she wills to do so, and not when they're enforced on her. I am a feminist, a proud feminist. Don't blame my belief for someone else's actions. My belief speaks of equality alone, my belief doesn't include the limits of equality. Each society sets it's own. Don't blame feminism for something done that is morally wrong. I am a feminist who demands a women's will to be involved in a relationship, but my feminism doesn't define the right to have polygamous relationships. I am a feminist who believes a women's consent is vital for any sexual act but my feminism doesn't define I support pre-marital or extra-marital involvements. I am a feminist who demands the right for a woman to not be harassed, but then I do believe in the same for men too. Feminism is a branch of the struggle for acquiring basic human rights for all, just as the right to be treated equally without religious or racial discrimination. Don't blame my belief for an individuals actions. Feminism asks for equality, it doesn't define support for each person's individual actions.

At Ease
Sprouting right out,
Of my body with ease,
Is a gush I no longer,
Would want to cease,
Releasing all my fears,
Straight in thin air,
Matters for which,
I no longer care,
Relieving me of all burdens,
More steadily than I ever could,
Is a way out of my troubles,
I hadn't understood,
To be so simple,
More simple than what I've seen,
Causing me to forget everything,
Through which I've ever been,
It's like leaving behind from,
All of what pushed me away,
In seclusion I no longer,
Would be forced to stay,
Just a little courage,
And a little pain,
I'm loosing myself,
But with peace at gain,
To be calm was all,
I had wanted,
Failed and for my marks,
You'd always taunted,
I tried but each time,
I got back up,
For something motivated me,
Not to give up,
But then there was a limit,
Of my will to wait,
And your thrust to push me,
Has led me to this state,
But I don't regret,
What I'm doing,
Because out of a mess,
I'm moving,
But before I go,
Something I'd like you to know,
Is that with a smile no one,
Chooses this way to go,
I'm distressed depressed,
I'm more more hurt than ever,
Because in vain has gone,
Each one of my endeavour,
I'm tired and I tried,
But I don't have the courage to stop,
I'm ending like this,
Just as you, I am too shocked,
And if after I go,
You still feel for me,
Be a good person and never let,
Another girl be me.
