Sometimes we push through envelopes of life that make us uncomfortable, that push us, challenges us and even make us feel small. But feeling small is good for us.
It makes us question who we are.
And if need be, reflect and refine.

It’s our responsibility to ask the questions.

// I always felt I didn’t need to know about the investments, about the money, about the fine lines, about my own health and more. I put this ownice on Vivek. I’m learning now. Everything to do with me and Aru, is my responsibility. And I need to know, I need to be informed.
Kholo keeps my soul alive.
It keeps my eyes wide.
Seeking, searching.
It keeps me alive.
I cannot wait to show you.
The silks.
The embroidery.
I’m so nervous to share it –
What if it gets copied in a day?
And I’m still scrambling to make the photoshoot happen?
Each little move to expose makes me nervous.
I’ve barely done an instagram feed because I’m like…
What if it isn’t on point?
I don’t think I’ve ever feared getting it wrong, the way I’m fearing it now.
But.
As a friend of mine said.
Scared is a good place to be.
So.
I guess all that’s left.
Is to leap.

What life would you be living, if you didn’t need someone else’s approval.
For what you studied.
For how much money you made.
For how many nights you went out.
For which bags you bought.
For the food you ate.
For the tidiness you kept.
For what you did during the day.
If you took a pen a paper and thought.
IF NO-ONE ELSE MATTERED
WHAT WOULD I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE.
Would I want to travel and live overseas for a couple of years?
Would I have a bottle of coke every now and then?
Would I buy a $1000 dress instead of 5 $200 ones?
Would I change my career to something which offered less OR more money?
Would I buy an apartment instead of a house?
Would I wear huge earrings and bright pink shoes?
WHO WOULD I BE IF YOUR THOUGHTS WEREN’T IN MY HEAD?
For every daughter.
For every wife.
Let us stop living for their approval and based on their permission.
Let us believe in our own concepts of life and lifestyle and find the mid-way ground or the no-tolerance ground if it is what you truly believe in.

K – still finding her way.
Like I’ve released something.
Like I need to keep on going.
Like I need to forgive the past.
Accept it was a time of learning, at least it wasn’t a lifetime.
You know not, how many times I’ve wondered.
If other people live like this.
With all this shit in their heads.
Going on and on.
Like a mouse in a loop.
Scurrying.
Scurrying.
I have never been one of those mothers.
The craft + boiled carrots + stay at home type.
I tried and I couldn’t.
In some ways, I went from having meetings with a woman who had won Telstra Business Woman of the Year Award.
To wiping shit.
Literally.
And I would look at other mothers, hear about them on the radio, read articles about them and wonder.
How they do it.
How do they happily do it.
Day in and day out.
And to be honest, I think I’ll be wondering forever.
If I don’t start to feel ok with whom I am.
And accepting that I’m simply different.
And that is perfectly ok.

When you doubt someone you love.Do the love the courtesy of clarifying the doubt.
Go forth.
Ask.
Put your doubt on the table and dress your courage with love.
Instead of fear.

If you are to dream, Don’t do it cautiously.
Or hesitantly.
Or steadily even.
Dream irrationally.
Ridiculously.
Wildly.
And with abandon.
Because that my friend,
Is how one ought to dream.
In ways we don’t even recognise.
It says to us.
This happened last time, so it’ll happen again.
It says.
Don’t do that, because then this will happen.
It says.
You aren’t capable of this, because you weren’t last time.
It says.
Don’t. Try. Again.
And as we age, this history becomes our identity.
Every incident adorns us and we become,
Layered with wrinkles of this.
And so.
To become aware of your subconscious,
Is the only way.
To the true future.
