“I am more stretch marks than the skin, more growth than shame.”

I will breathe because I must, but I will smile because I’m living.

I am capable of loving myself the way I deserve.

I am choosing to create space in my mind for peace.

I am no longer looking to others to show me my worth.

And as the sun smiles to bless this new day, I inhale life, and journey on.

I am learning to hold to hopeful light.

I am making space for each emotion I need to feel.

I am enough for me.

I must learn to separate my bad days from who I am – we are not the same.

Embrace your own reality.

And as the rain fell and the birds kept singing, I realized that freedom is a choice.

Though thunder clouds hover tight like a cage, the sun never stops rising on the ones who chase healing.

Wildflowers need water, so I too must not chase away the rain.

Drowning in grey days rising up into blue, I will choose to love myself in all colors.

Some days I am okay, and some days I am not but always, I am worth every struggle.

A note to all that yearns within me: every breath is a possibility.

We become what we behold.

We have either to progress or to degenerate. Our ancestors did great things in the past, but we have to grow into a fuller life and march beyond even their great achievements.

There can be no better place than India to manufacture, expand, and grow.

If you have knowledge and see a man weak, do not condemn him. Go to his level and help him if you can. He must grow.

Make in India’ is a LION’s step! This initiative on one hand, will increase manufacturing growth, and at the same time, will directly benefit the youth of the nation in the form of employment.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

My lyrics are a complete 180 from what they used to be in terms of maturity. And I have a kid, so that changes everything.

Times have not become more violent. They have just become more televised.
