Bio

A Litany for Survival
For those of us who live at the shoreline
standing upon the constant edges of decision
crucial and alone
for those of us who cannot indulge
the passing dreams of choice
who love in doorways coming and going
in the hours between dawns
looking inward and outward
at once before and after
seeking a now that can breed
futures
like bread in our children's mouths
so their dreams will not reflect
the death of ours:
For those of us
who were imprinted with fear
like a faint line in the center of our foreheads
learning to be afraid with our mother's milk
for by this weapon
this illusion of some safety to be found
the heavy-footed hoped to silence us
For all of us
this instant and this triumph
We were never meant to survive.
And when the sun rises we are afraid
it might not remain
when the sun sets we are afraid
it might not rise in the morning
when our stomachs are full we are afraid
of indigestion
when our stomachs are empty we are afraid
we may never eat again
when we are loved we are afraid
love will vanish
when we are alone we are afraid
love will never return
and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive.
” 
 Audre Lorde

"पथ भूल न जाना पथिक कहीं
पथ में कांटे तो होंगे ही
दुर्वादल सरिता सर होंगे
सुंदर गिरि वन वापी होंगे
सुंदरता की मृगतृष्णा में
पथ भूल न जाना पथिक कहीं।

जब कठिन कर्म पगडंडी पर
राही का मन उन्मुख होगा
जब सपने सब मिट जाएंगे
कर्तव्य मार्ग सन्मुख होगा
तब अपनी प्रथम विफलता में
पथ भूल न जाना पथिक कहीं।

अपने भी विमुख पराए बन
आंखों के आगे आएंगे
पग पग पर घोर निराशा के
काले बादल छा जाएंगे
तब अपने एकाकीपन में
पथ भूल न जाना पथिक कहीं।"

     - शिवमंगल सिंह ‘सुमन’

The best person anyone can meet...she relate herself with ur problem and give you the right advice to do. I owe her... Love ya
The world is full of people who don't care about anyone but themselves.... And then there are people like her who are there to actually make this world a better place to live and not just survive.
She doesn't judge anyone, listens well and is full of positivity. Her username suits her well... Yeah, she can make you smile.
We need to learn to respect the people like her when we find them. Always try to keep them with you because they are worth it
