Do not give up on yourself

This post is dedicated to everyone who is struggling with the weight they’ve put on and who do not feel good about themselves anymore. Here’s my message for y’all. You’re not alone. We will get through this, together. Just don’t give up yet. You can, and you will beat this and get back in shape again, if that’s not the motive, then you will become fit and healthy again, just don’t give up on yourself.

I have been struggling with my weight since last one year. I know, you might think “but he ain’t obese, he looks fine”, but I’m not. I’m opening up today, because today I realized that I was getting more depressed, day by day because I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror anymore, for it just reminded me how fit I used to be. My weight used to range between 55-60 till 2015. But then 2016 turned out to be a very depressive year, and since then I’ve not been the same. My current weight is 83. In medical terms, I’m almost obese, which my body is not accepting and I’ve been facing a lot of health issues because of that. I tried to get back in shape again, I failed at it. I tried again, I failed again. This cycle went on and on until finally I decided to give up. I was scared to hit the gym again because I was afraid I’ll fail again, and because of that I never went to the gym for almost 3 months, even after paying all the fees. I was afraid to fall. I am STILL afraid, to fall, but then I recalled some wise words of Alfred, which he told to Bruce when he almost gave up on everything, “why do we fall, sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.” And today was the day to pick myself up again. I went to the gym today, I was still depressed when I entered the gym, thinking this wouldn’t change anything, I’m going to fail again. But then I started working out, and it all started to come back to me, the positivity. Once I was done, after a sweaty hour of work out, everything felt different, I felt positive. Now I realize, it was not about the weight I’ve put on, it was all about what I felt about myself. Now I know, that I can change this, that I CAN and I WILL be fit again. I don’t care about the physique, it’s all about staying fit and healthy.

What I want you to take from this is the positivity. It’s all about that ONE STEP which you are hesitating to take, because of the fear of failure. We all fail, and that’s how we learn, that’s how we grow. Don’t fear the failure. TAKE THAT ONE STEP, AND EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE. Trust me. You’re amazing, and I have faith in you. You can do anything you want. It’s just about your will power and that one step which you need to take.

Barely Alive

Today I saw a man dying.
After he was gone,
I saw him and his eyes.
They were looking at me,
open wide.
My eyes, too, are open.
But I’m dead inside.

That’s the difference.
He’s actually dead, and,
I’m barely alive.

Here

I am here.
Right here.
Where I was.
Standing still.
Waiting for you.
To look back once.
But you won’t.
You always,
used to say,
life goes on.
But mine,
It stopped.
I am here.
Right here.

Toy

I, sometimes, wonder.
If you still, see my photos,
regretting, what you did to me.

But then I realize,
I was a mere toy,
for you, with whom,
you played and
moved on to
another one.

Rang

Girgit se zada
jaldi rang badalte,
aur saanp se zada
zehereeley hote
hai ye insaan.

Shayad isliye
wo rab bhi chahta
hai ke mai akela
hi reh jaun.

Success

Some people might
overlook and never
appreciate the fact
that you’ve become
successful today because
of you sheer dedication.

But your loved ones
won’t ever forget this.
They won’t ever forget that
your present is the outcome
of your past and it reflects
how strong you’ve
become than you
once used to be.

High

Your words cannot defy,
the fact that I’ll, someday, fly.
No matter how harsh,
No matter how blunt,
No matter how much,
You criticize.
I won’t let it affect me.
I will fly, high.

Level

Level.
A word which
is used by humans,
to measure, things.

Now let me
show y’all,
what humans
use it for.

Standard.
Status.
Money.

What it should
be used for.

Hypocrisy.
Poverty.
Inhumanity.

And, never
for a person’s
mundanity.

Halloween

We wear masks
to hide our faces
In Halloween.

But the truth is,
Those masks
of foul creatures
Doesn’t hide
our faces, but,
Unveils the
real ones.

Depression.

Depression is not sadness. Stop considering it as one. It fucks you up from inside. If it has taken lives of people like Robin Williams, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington, then it’s pretty darn real. Stop saying this “If you’re depressed, talk”. YOU SHOULD GO AND TALK TO THEM. If you feel someone is depressed. Go and talk to them. Don’t wait for them to come and talk to you. They might not. Help them.

– Depression kills.
