But I refuse to die at the hands of someone's hatred
For this change, is for survival
Because we, humans, lost the way of living, even before we started to live....
Karma pays and that too in this life itself.
I was not feeling good and so my PhD supervisor took me for a drive to cheer me up.
If this is not the fruit of all the good things I have done in life, than I don't know what is.
People who are doing Ph.D. can relate to this. It's very fortunate of oneself to get a good supervisor who treats you as a human and not some paper printing machine.
I went home after 11 months and while I was on the flight, trying different settings of the camera; when I captured this picture. And everytime I see it, I feel that cotton balls of the sky are trying to tell me something by letting that light pass as if it was projected from a projector.
Context: I get anxiety at home
Any "Ikigai" fans here?
Or anyone who has found their Ikigai ?
I've been working my ass off to heal from the generational trauma that has been passed down to me because I am a woman. My brothers didn't inherit it. It is exclusively for the women of the family.
And being a woman you don't have just the family generational trauma; you have the societal generational trauma as well which by the way every woman has .
And the only reason I have these is because I am a woman in this fuck'n patriarchal society.

When you pay attention to everyone's well being, but cannot share about your mental health because everyone thinks you are strong. And then it becomes your responsibility to be strong all the time. You just cannot be vulnerable..
Did you also notice that Francesca felt a sapphic tinge towards Michaela ?I surely did notice that. Or maybe I just want to see that. Maybe a new queer romance is steering ?But the way she sttuters reminds me of what Violet said earlier about she felt when she met Francesca's father .. Anyways they have not adopted the book as such; so they can steer the show anyway they want. And now I am simping for Francesca to be a queer rather tham Eloise 😂😂
Any Bridgerton fans here? I would love to have a speculation session about the next season ..
But I do feel strange,
almost unearthly.
I'll never get used to being alive.
It's a mystery.

Love only love could heal our brokenness
