The Storm Within

    Childhood is supposedly the best time of one's life and we all agree to it once we are well past our primes, sweating out in the race of life.

The carefree glory of it remains perfectly sealed in the memories, so to say. 

Of the numerous instances that I fondly remember, there are some that have buzzed my head & will continue to.

 Like this one particular thing my mum persistently said, "let your work do the talking & you'll see everyone will look up to you. nothing is more smashing a reply to the ugly mouths who hurt". 

As a kid the meaning never sank in enough to sooth my tensed nerves (whenever that was) but it always threw back sum fruitful results to savor. 

My academics were always a smooth run. Being consistent with my scores naturally made me a hit with the teachers, but among other kids I was like an uninvited guest who is greeted with scorn. I would be  stabbed with envy & ignorance. 

I would keep telling myself, those who wish to be with you..will be.. or find a way to be and the rest ... they shouldn't matter.

It has kept me going since. 

Over the years I have realized, while its reassuring to have support, you need to look within to survive for good. When you're your own guard, your own shield, and you respect yourself, half the battle is already won. Your struggles do not need your tongue, they need a careful investment of your power in the vision to win it. 

The day you look within, you'll know you haven;t explored yourself much. There's more to you than you think you're made of. 

Try to hear the storm within... you have it all, right there !.
