The inside child

 


Maybe we never outgrow childhood; we just learn to carry it in secret...

I think there's a little piece of us all, tucked away, that longs to throw caution to the wind and be free. To bite into a candy like it’s a forbidden thrill, to reach for colors and sounds that don’t belong to our “adult” world. It’s funny, isn’t it? This big world of responsibility we all walk through, carrying these little memories like fireflies in jars, like pieces of light we hide but cherish.

Inside this grown-up shell, a child still lives,she’s the keeper of my joy, my freedom, and the pieces of my past I refuse to let fade.

"Growing up is a collection of beautiful goodbyes, but sometimes I find myself clinging to one hello..that child who still lives, still breathes, still dreams."

And here’s the truth: I don’t want to let her go, this child in me. 

She’s the one who remembers how to live without fear.

 She’s the one who knows how to find magic in the ordinary. 

So, maybe I’m grown up, but I’ll keep her safe, keep her dreaming, keep her alive. 

Because in a world that tells me to move on, I choose, instead, to hold on.

Every day, she breathes beneath my skin,

the child I was, the heart within.

She laughs, she cries, she feels it all,

In a world where only grown-ups fall.


So here I stand, both young and old,

with a hand on dreams I’ll never fold.


"Maybe we don’t leave childhood behind; maybe we just carry it in our hearts, as a quiet promise to remember." ❤️

The Cup of Tea

                                                                                  You know, life...  Life has its own instrumentals,its own strange choreography. It doesn’t always waltz in step with our plans, and sometimes it drags us across the floor when all we want is to sit down and rest.  But then,  one fine day,  something happens.. something quiet.. something almost imperceptible… You wake up, and it’s as if the weight you’ve carried all these years has dissolved in the silence of the morning.  The grudges you nursed like old wounds..they’re gone.  The baggage you dragged through every moment..they’re not yours anymore.  You’re free. And suddenly,  the world feels like it’s made of color again.  The air is sweeter, the sunlight feels...

Through Your Eyes

Image
                                                         The world becomes so beautiful,vibrant and alive, when seen through your eyes.  How you hold the universe in your gaze, like a painter dipping his brush into the infinite colors of dawn.  Your eyes see beauty in the smallest things..a raindrop, a fluttering leaf, the way the light touches the earth at dusk.  Each moment, you see.. you breathe life into, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Through your  eyes, the world isn’t just a place, it’s a canvas of endless possibilities.  How even in the darkest moments, you see hope not as a distant dream, but as the warmth in every sunrise.  The world is never as cruel, never as cold when you are  there to remind it of its hidden kindness, its quiet tenderness. Through your eyes, I see the wor...

The Myth of Law as Social Engineering: Idealism Vs Reality

Image
"Law is social engineering." This profound statement by Roscoe Pound encapsulates the transformative potential of legal systems.  Unlike traditional engineering, which constructs tangible edifices like houses and roads, social engineering through law seeks to build the intangible frameworks of society—justice, order, and social welfare. However, the dissonance between this ideal and the realities on the ground raises an important question: why does the law, envisioned as a powerful tool of social engineering, often fail to produce visible outcomes akin to its physical engineering counterparts? For decades, the concept of law as social engineering has struggled to gain traction. Several factors contribute to this discrepancy. The complexity of human behavior plays a significant role. Unlike physical materials, human behavior is unpredictable and influenced by myriad factors—cultural, economic, psychological, and social. Laws may aim to engineer societal outcomes, but their imp...
