And so, the story unfolds; she was a little bud
away from the light, afraid of its bright
but then… there was a hum in the air.
a hum of love, energy, and care
She felt the tender warmth of… them
(A yellow beam of sunlight)
As the bees buzzed about her
they prodded her to move forward
to keep her head held high
She felt nurtured and her stem crept upwards
because she always felt their presence-
giving her comfort and confidence
she let her leaf blades unfurl.
Bountiful, no longer that little bud…
She did everything she thought she didn’t think she could.
And just like that you can bloom, however hard the circumstances may be. Don’t succumb to the negative chaos around you- pull yourself out. Don’t get trapped in a vicious negative cycle in your head.
In these cases, people are key. Get away from the ones that pull you down. AND move towards the ones radiating warmth. Don’t doubt yourself one bit because:
There ARE people out there who will understand you
There ARE people out there who will WANT to talk to you and to listen to you.
There ARE people out there who will help you… so reach out
Know your worth, always. Just like a plant in your balcony, enrich yourself. Your environment is vital to maintain a good mental space, which will translate into your actions. Surround yourself with positivity- be selective with who you let in to your space.
-And sometimes… it’s just important to remind yourself about these things.
So, what next? Get out there! -and do the things you’ve been holding yourself back from. Observe yourself: Where do you thrive? Around whom do you feel uplifted? What makes you happy? Then let it in… embrace it.
Focus on the good. Do good. -and so you shall bloom.
-Anika Krishna
