This isn’t a musing it’s a soft exhale from the soul. Shalini doesn’t explain life; she cradles it. Her words don’t rush to conclusions they linger, like the aftertaste of something bittersweet. Every emotion, even the ones we hide from, is honoured here as sacred. Sadness isn’t a mistake it’s a teacher. Anger isn’t shameful it’s a signal. And guilt, apology, even pretending each becomes part of the tapestry that makes us whole. This isn’t about fixing ourselves it’s about feeling ourselves, fully. The sweetness she speaks of isn’t sugar it’s grace. The kind that arrives quietly, after the storm, when we’ve cried enough to hear our own soul whisper back: “I’m still here.”
Shalini, you made emotions feel like characters in a play — each taking their turn, each leaving a little sweetness behind before exiting the stage. I love the way you framed that. It made me pause and think about my own moments that only made sense after they softened. Thank you for sharing this — it lingered with me in the nicest way~
Thank you and I’m glad you understood what I was trying to convey. I was just inserting if anybody was going to get it! Appreciate your words as always! 💕
