I wasn’t happy when I was a kid but I did learn the art of letting go, I stopped bothering myself my anyone’s presence or absence. Maybe I now know how to tackle the sadness that affects me. I had survived the worst. I am strong enough now to assimilate the fact that things or person whom I loved someday or some point of life ; they will leave me and I can be the same without them. I have to be normal and think about the positives.

Here’s a short story about ‘That girl’ :
.
“They took her to a psychiatrist when she was 5. She had major issues then she always wanted her Dad to be with them, her dad separated from them when she was 3 , this made her mad - not actually mad but at the base level somewhere.
.
A subtle trigger of insecurity lingered. She couldn’t breathe properly at times, the panic attack’s were severe she use to have her ECG’s done once a week. Then she got her 2D ECHO done. Her heart was fine but her brain wasn’t. Doctor prescribed ‘Happiness ‘

.
She remembers the day of her last session as fresh as yesterday. The doctor told her father to take her to parks, play with her, make her feel comfortable with him. After the session he took her daughter on his shoulder and gave a walk until they reached home. That’s the happy thing she remembers about her father. Once she was in college; her dad and she were friends not exactly but she use to talk to him without any fear. Gradually they were on good terms but in their our space. “

.
Maybe I have seen loosing relations and I was a difficult child then but because of all the difficulties that I had seen. The trials my mother faced, the strength she showed, the determination she had to raise me and my elder sister was all I could see in that dark and grew on it.

.
Don’t you think people you loose in your life take a part of you away with them and you take a part of them with you to cherish forever?

.

A death, a childhood friend, a still born, your first teacher, a total stranger you have had chats with, whatever they were to you but are no more with you now, affects and changes you in many ways.

.
It’s true , ‘YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ’. But it’s also true you are what you hold in your mind or think about.
