The day I decided to LIVE 💙

Today, I decided to end it, once and for all. Yes! I decided to end my life and all the other hardships once and for all.

 I went into the kitchen and grabbed a sharp knife. I took the knife in my hand and was all ready to slit my wrist. As I progressed towards my room where I decided to take this final step, I had a bunch of thoughts that were running on my mind. I went into the room and shut the door, and took a deep breath. As I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, the first thing I saw was my Mom and then my pet cat which left us just a month ago. Then I saw the person whom I love with all my heart, but that person doesn't even know my existence. I had a slight upwards curve at the edge of my lips.

 I had a thought then, of writing a letter so that they all - obviously my family members - could understand, or at least try to understand the reason behind the decision because that was the only thing I ever wanted from them. As I sat down to write, the only three words that came to my mind were; I AM SORRY. I knew the consequences that they would face after I take the big step in my life. I felt guilty for giving them the burden even after going. But; I convinced myself and left a note quoting; "I am the enemy of my life, taking this step for myself." I kept the letter under the vase on my drawing table and my heart started to skip a beat. My heart wasn't racing, but it wasn't beating either. One last time I closed my eyes and there was no one, just darkness.

 At that same moment, I had a thought which changed everything for me. I thought if I can take the knife in my hand, then why not my life? I thought if I can show such bravery towards death, then why not life? I thought if I anyways had no one on my mind at the last few moments of my life, then why not choose myself over others? 

I quickly dropped the knife and went to the mirror, stood in front of it, and had a slight upwards curve at the edge of my lips; this time it was out of peace and pride for choosing me instead of others. I realized that I was that one person who is going to be there forever. We all look out for that one forever person in our life, then why am I trying to kill that person? 

They say that the darkest moments of life change you the most and I couldn't agree more. That day, I decided to choose life over death, light over darkness, and myself over others. That day, I decided to say those three words; not I AM SORRY but I LOVE YOU to myself and to the people whom I love.

 You are the only person who will be there forever with you, so be loving to yourself. Every time I see the mirror, there is an ear-to-ear smile on my face, and this time it's the pride, peace, and love and not the one for hiding pain. 

We all look out for love, support, and that one forever person in our life; but, we forget that the person we seek for is none other than us. Never kill that one forever person in your life for the temporary ones. Choose to be the light of your life and not, enemy. Healing will reach you, once you choose to do so. ❤

Why I started blogging?

Well, I am thankful that you are choosing to read this blog post. Hello!! This is " Known " here. Hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound in this insane phase of fear of known .❤ Well, this is just an introductory post on what you can expect from this space. I am just an ordinary person who finds solace in writing about random things and also sometimes pens down life thoughts and experiences.  Typically, one should be grateful for all that we have in such tough times. So I am grateful for all of you who are reading this post and also are going to be supporting me.  Generally, fear of unknowns is what makes us feel anxious and fearful; but this time around the corner we are anxious about the fear of known. We all know about this covid 19 and that's what makes us fearful. I just thought of starting blogging in the insanity of this pandemic to keep myself sane. Hope that my writing brings you some sort of peace and escape in these difficult times. These are the time

What if i go and never come back again?

How would you feel if I go and never come back again? Would you miss me? Would you remember me and smile, or would you cry? What will you tell me as your last message to me at my funeral? Will, you ever call my name by mistake and then realize that I am not there?  Will, you feel my presence in my clothes, my gifts, my voice notes that I sent you, and our photo frames? Will you smile with tears in your eyes when you hear my favorite song? Will, you ever talk about me to the people around you? While talking will your voice break as your heart did?  Will you cry at night reminiscing about times we spent together? Will you search for me in the sky full of stars at the night? Will you talk to me in your loneliness and if so, would you be angry with me? Will you remain the same as you were or would change? Will, you ever give me the answers to the questions I have asked? Lastly, will you allow yourself to be happy once again and be in love with life?  I am asking these questions, while I
