In this, amidst of pandemic, I found love!

Ahh, it’s a story of a girl who had been rejected, friend-zoned, ignored, or occasionally accepted multiple times in her life. She was never disheartened but was certainly always heartbroken. :)

It’s not that she never had a successful love story, but every story ended like her little short height. She had been a confident girl since her youth — fighting for her rights, making strong decisions, taking on challenging jobs, and whatnot!

Little did she know that this prolonged pandemic would lead her into depression. A Counsellor Council of India (CCI)-certified member turning into a depressed soul. Meeting friends regularly or staying close to her family was the only warmth she had. Again, it’s not that she never met new people during that time — she did, but only from a distance, for brief periods, and just for drinks or coffee!

She knew that all the people around her were in love, but when she decided to go a little beyond, she realized that most of them were in love with someone else. If not, then they were busy finding or fetching love from someone else — just like her. Making each of them feel miserable and vulnerable.

She was happy for them, but after contemplating, researching, and reading a lot, there came a day when she woke up with a sudden smile on her face. That was because she realized that everything unfortunate that had happened to her was for a reason — a reason she had never imagined would be true!

She started to fall for someone — someone she never thought she would ever fall for. Someone who had always held power, but a lack of courage had never allowed her to accept and share her feelings for that someone.

That someone was kind, filled with love, had beautiful big eyes, and definitely had a big, gorgeous heart that could never run out of love.

What encouraged her even more to fall for that someone was her conviction and dedication to understanding that person. She waited for an answer. All she was doing was sending positive thoughts, taking a few exotic road trips, and playing some crazy loud music — loud enough for that person to hear about the admiration and the feeling of love!

Interestingly, that SOMEONE was HER!!

She accepted her flaws and decided to forgive herself — for all the wrong decisions, for all the unworthy treatment she had inflicted upon herself! And in the end, she promised to start afresh.

She finally found love: SELF-LOVE!!

And today, she is committed, and all she has is A SMILE…

A smile that holds confidence.

A smile that radiates zeal and spark.

A smile that realizes all the madness she has gone through was WORTH IT!
