  In retrospect: Laughter

    Some of the kindest people have been through the most excruciating circumstance. Never assume that a grinning face and a hopeful spirit is devoid of personal tragedy. Some people smile in order to move past their pain.  That’s why laughter is the best medicine.  Love always, Esha <3

  Lack of Trying 

  On gray days When sun rays can’t seem to reach me  I get sad from a lack of trying  Then denying  And whining  As I hear the call of my ambitions  Echoing through the distance  My pride responds back,  I’m tired, I can’t do that  It’s too hard, it’ll never work  If I try, I…

  Lovely Freedom

  Freedom isn’t free. But you have the option to choose. Do what’s right for your soul. Choose the path that doesn’t destroy the flourishing loveliness inside of you. A life of substance blooms with the aroma of sweet roses. An evil one rots with the smell of broken promises and decaying corpses. Never allow your…
