True Love, True Trust, True Acceptance!

True Love, True Trust, True Acceptance

When we were young, basics emotions were so well defined in our lives… and we felt it all around us… Love, trust, acceptance… Every little emotion was so very simple… But as life progressed, these basic emotions become so complicated… not sure about you… but it did for me…

More I live this life… more life shows me situations… I feel I have started to understand what all these little emotions are all about… they are huge… and they can’t be experienced in its truest form until we experience emotion that is exactly opposite to these…. Until we stand on the crossroad and we have to choose to love, trust and accept people in our lives no matter what…

How can one learn true love, until he/she is devoid of it… how can one learn true trust until someone breaks their trust miserably…. How can one learn true acceptance until one has been denied acceptance…

It’s easy to love someone who loves you back… trust someone who trusts you back and accept people in our lives who accept us back… but do we always find such people in our lives?.... I don’t think so…

The more I live this life on earth… the more the acquaintance with anti-love, anti-trust, anti-acceptance the more I am experience what true love, trust and acceptance is all about… 

Bible says

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

That’s true love… Isn’t it?

Love is so deep that it takes life time to understand its beauty… it’s not some emotion to be given in return of love… it’s to love someone no matter what…

We all crave for acceptance from everyone around us… be it at home… at our workplace … amongst our friends or elsewhere…. But what we fail to understand is… all we need to crave is for acceptance from God… As its only He who can give us true love in return of our love… and He will never deny us any sort of acceptance… No matter what… He is always going to be there holding us tight even when the whole world denies us…

But the real question is are we ready to deny the world for Him… are we ready to leave our old lives and accept Him in our “Whole” life… not just parts of our lives…not just in the specific time of our life… not just on those special days… not on those moments we are falling… but every moment of our life… are we ready to love, trust and accept Him…

Once we let Him in… completely … then can we experience True Love, True Trust, True acceptance that no one in this world can give us… 

Trust me… None….

Must fade

Must fade_______________________

Time passes,

Memories shed,

Strong feelings,

Fade…

Tough times,

Happy times,

Painful ones,

Fade…

Once so strong,

Those moments,

Turn void,

They fade…

Then

From nowhere,

One day,

You feel it,

Again…

You smile,

You love it,

You want to live it,

Again…

But

You reject it,

Run away,

You are prohibited,

To feel it…

Yes that distinct feeling,

That once made you

Happy,

Today, must fade…

Joy of being “Married”

Joy of being “Married”

I need Samit in my life, someone who is spontaneous, silly and totally unpredictable… Contrary to what I am… I can be serious too often… Samit does not let me be that way… He is total counterbalance to my tendency to be focused and planned…

He plays tricks on me… like hiding inside closet, behind the bed even though he knows I go crazy searching him…

I have never given it much thought but boy would it be boring if he was serious, uptight, trying to correct always, trying to be perfect always, proper always… it would kill all the fun in our marriage… who wants a perfect husband… too perfect is too serious… yes he is a gentleman and knows how to be well mannered… But the fun side of his is something that keeps me alive…

I have watched Samit laughing during these ridiculous moments, making some really funny sarcastic statements that even shocks Kapil Sharma at times…. And I  wondered why I am not that way…

I tend to be the observer on the sidelines the one to tell the story afterwards… I am the more deeper person… And Samit teaches me to be otherwise…

God knows how to put two people together… When I was younger I thought I would fall in love with this quite, brooding type – The talented artist someone so creative… Someone whose personality would match Randeep Hooda in Highway… (Well for the matter of fact I still find Randeep quite impressive… Hehe)… But I hope you get the point… I imagined being with someone like a Marlboro Man, gruff and scruffy and very manly… I was never the kind of girl who liked poster boys…. Boys with six packs somehow always put me off… Typical was never attractive to me…

When I met Samit, he happened to be the right combination of everything I was looking for and wasn’t looking for… 

But I was drawn to him in an unexpected sort of way — to his unpretentiousness and charm, to his protective and gentlemanly nature, to the ease at which we were able to communicate, to the many similar values and spiritual perspectives we shared, to his bent towards heroism.

But it wasn’t really until marriage that I discovered how fun a person he was. It was a delightful bonus.

Marriage should be fun… Imagine being with someone for decades and decades and taking everything so seriously? That’s probably what would have happened if I married someone I picked! Thankfully, God chose Samit for me. He tailor-fit him to my personality, to my strengths and weaknesses…

Being married to Samit has taught me another way to live — to relax and enjoy a bit of healthy silliness, to not take life too seriously, to plan but not over do it... and enjoy little things in life... as thats what makes life more worth it... I laugh more now. I crack dumb jokes…. and laugh at the silly things too...

But one thing is for sure…I am a better version of Rashmi  because God gave Samit to me.

To the laughs we share through richer or poorer, in sickness or health….for better or worse… These are the little things that add up and become - Joy of being married...
