IF THIS TRIGGERS YOU IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE, PLEASE DON'T READ! POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNING ! So far, I have come across a lot of people including men and women, who have been through hell in their childhood. The worst part of their misery is not being able to communicate about it even as adults. Whenever I have tried to communicate about sexual assault and abuse through my work (as a visual artist) and generally; Mostly people have reacted as its an imaginary world of mine where it happened or as if it doesn't happen. They have acted as 'sex' and 'sexual assault' does not exist in this world. Now that I have a social life, a happening social media profile and a smile on my face, they show their indifferent faces more. I have no...

We all have suffered a loss of our loved ones once or more in our lifetime. We all have attended funerals of our beloved ones and of others. We all are aware of condolence and compassion for the family or person suffering the loss. I, myself have comforted several friends in that difficult time. I understand the loss of someone you have loved your whole life and not having that person anymore. But there is one thing which is different; all these condolences are for those who have been loved and cared by their wholesome families. We are very much familiar with family-setups and a situation when there is someone for everyone. In this kind of setting, it's very common to care and love the already loved one. Because it's simple and easy to understand, right? In my case that didn't happen. When my grandmother died who has been the only person who cared, loved and fought for me. She had been my only best friend in the most painful days of my childhood. I am alive today be...

Listen little girl.................................. You have to stop justifying yourself to those who have always questioned your decisions. You don't have to explain yourself for standing up for your self-respect and basic rights. You don't have to answer their questions anymore. You don't have to beg for love from those who have never loved you unconditionally. You don't have to give explanations for your emotional turmoil when you didn't even get a hug from them when you needed it the most. You have been taking care of your self for a very long time, in fact since the beginning of all of this and trust me, You are the only one who is good at it.  I know you are very tired and it has been a long life but don't you worry, it is not permanent. Listen little girl........................................ You don't have to serve your heart on a platter to those who would never value and would never return your love with love.You...

I met someone once who shared the same troubled childhood as mine. We shared few details of our similar pasts, according to her story when her parents were getting divorced while she was in school, she lost many friends. Apparently other parents did not want to influence her broken family on their households or their children. Divorce is our very common stereotype and a basic one. We all know about it and some of them have experienced it as well among their parents or their own. Whenever we are talking about divorce of any one, a common friend or a family member, we lower our voices unintentionally. I have never understood these stereotypes ever even though mine were very uncommon one. For the longest time, I could not understand other's reaction towards my situation. I have never experienced divorce not in my family or friends, I used it here as an example. This is a classic example of judging someone or avoiding for instance based on things which has no one's control. I hav...
