There must be a reason you’re here. There must be more to come.
Whatever you’re leaving behind, I hope you remember what was beautiful.
I hope there are pockets full of colours of all the memories that remain hazy in your mind.
Unplanned, impulsive colours—feelings blending with memories of how everyone laughed at the party that evening and how the sweet aroma of the cake filled the air, the same cake that you baked even before the dawn broke.
The way you left your city, your country, that night, knowing it could be years before you returned… the way you were at peace with what you had despite what you lacked.
The way you went through each day looking for big and small ways to practice peace.
There is so much that doesn’t make sense about the past and so many questions that throng your mind about how you made the most of your time, and yet you know in the depths of your soul that you got to meet some of the most beautiful people.
Some of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes are right here for you to take a deep breath and enjoy.
You remember things so well that words fail to describe them, longing for the weekend never to end.
A million small steps you have taken have turned you into a storyteller.
There is a reason you are here and why you withstood another year, and through all your tired wonders and unknowns, Light is on this path, and there is still a long way to go.
Whatever you’re leaving behind, I hope you remember what was beautiful.

That’s a good reminder of self love. Positive readings like this turn the day into a beautiful form. We need to understand that we are here and enjoy the here too. You have put it down simply and beautifully.
If there is one thing that I have leant in my 52 years of being alive, then it is the celebration of life each day. No matter what happens in the world, every day is a new opportunity to celebrate the gift of life. From the simplest things like waking up in the morning, to more significant milestones like birthdays and anniversaries, each day is a chance to appreciate the fact that we are alive and to reflect on all that we are grateful for.
While I was reading the poem I imagine you sitting and writing it, pausing for a second to think and then come back to writing. What a touching piece of writing. Loved every bit of it.
You are so right, dear. I was actually writing all this while I was sitting near the beach.
I’m sitting in hospital while reading it, I feel positivity in my heart with your words. Lots of love.
😊Take care dear
Very beautifully penned down. I am learning to let go of the past. Love the way you embrace positivity.
Life is beautiful and we need to celebrate it everyday with happiness. If you woke up and see the sun every morning consider yourself lucky. I love myself and that’s the reason I can love so many people connected with me. Self love is very very important.
