Even the strongest girls get stuck in emotions

Even the strongest girls break down. When they have had enough and when they have been strong for too long and can't do it anymore.

Even the strongest girls get tired of taking their responsibilities. They get tired of everyone's expectations and the number of people counting on them. This world expects them to overcome everything on their own.

Even the strongest girls need a break. After all they are human beings too. Not just machines, expected to be fine always and stay positive.

Even the strongest girls get tired of being so strong because it was never something they were born with. It was something they had to develop because of all the hardships they had to face and all the challenges they had to overcome.

Even the strongest girls need love. They don't like loneliness. They don't like rejection. They get tired of the emotional labor they have to put in to lift themselves up. Sometimes they just need a helping hand.

Loving you is worth it

This is how i fell for you...

It wasn't love at first sight and it didn't happen like those in cheesy romantic movies. It wasn't perfect timing either when we both met for the first time in a journey. Neither of us were in such stage of life to fall in love. You didn't do all the right things and i wasn't impressed with you. Even I didn't say all the right things either! But it all started with that one journey, an unexpected and game changing one! 

It happened gradually, the falling.

After that journey, One day, I opened my eyes in the morning and jumped out of bed, all too excited to hear from you. One day, I looked at you, feeling an overwhelming urge to grab your head and pull you to me to kiss you senseless. One day,I was in tears, feeling weary and down, and you were the only person i wanted to talk to. 

Falling for you was messy and scary. The timing was all wrong. I struggled a lot even for the thought of loving you. I was too terrified to fall in love with you. But, I DID!

And I have come to be okay with it. With the whirlwind of emotions that seized me. The uncertainty of where this is heading. The undeniable fact that i have fallen head over heel over you.

I am in the awe at the way you live your life - on your own terms. Steadfast and confident. I am deeply drawn to your simplicity. You say what you mean and mean what you say.

I am in love with every inch of you and the possibility of you loving me back. And i will love you throwing my caution and hesitance to the wind. I will carve my own destiny by loving you with everything .. everything i have.

We are imperfect, yet so perfect along side each other. We are two misfit puzzles that fit together. Two flawed individuals learning to accept each other. Our emotions are heightened and we fight. You will yell at me harshly, your voice tight with anger making my blood boil. You scream at me at times refusing to accept the truth. I swear to walk away but never could do the same. 

This is how I love, raw. And at the end of the day, i wouldn't have chosen it any other way. I don't need all the clocks to tick at the right time for me to fall in love.  I don't dream of you coming towards me on your white horse and asking for my hand in for marriage. I don't want a love that is picture perfect. 

For that doesn't exist ! But you and me together - that's real.

Loving you itself is terrifying but then anything is worthwhile doing. And love is always worth it.
