And, this too shall pass.... 🪢

When was the last time you truly felt free? The last time you cherished 'freedom' in its truest form...?

In the world today, even the air that we breath seems to be conditioned - limited by spaces, adulterated by pollution, fogged by narrow mindsets and unhealthy thoughts. This world has seen several freedom movements, countless revolutions, yet even to this day hardly does anyone know what freedom feels like. Having been a captive in several spaces, tied down by relationship and responsibilties, not that I had expected something out of them, but I was always looking for that fresh breath of air where I could wholly be myself, talk my heart out without having to worry, but each time I found myself being closed in a loop. Despite being independent, I was still dependent in a way, that it took me so much time being back to myself.

Today I have dependents, and every step I take needs to progress with certain degree of caution. Years back I came to this city with dreams of building a great career, support my then married life, provide the best education to my little ones. But life had other plans and this day I plan to move out of that same place, not only because there is no reason for me to stay but also because of unsupportive surroundings. Ironically, my estranged ex hails from the same community, but little did I know that one day what I trusted most, leaving everything behind, would cost us so much, including my identity.

In return of nurture and support, my loved ones and I have to deal with adversities, and in a constant survival mode.

Of course, its hard with lack of water supply or power solely on inverter that may run out anytime soon.

But I promise myself and my loved ones that, this,

would be the last tribulation.
