How do you know that you have healed? It is that undisturbed calm in your mind, even though you are face-to-face to the very thing that cut you bleed open decades ago. The fire that used to burn you hot, put you on sleepless nights, endless tears, now that fire has burned the old you into ashes. Yes … You have died many times, and the best part? You come again, each time stronger, wiser and calmer.

A decade ago, I perhaps will label all the events lately as a string of misfortunes in my life. But now, I label them as… Events… That’s all. No more no less. These events are neutral. And they show me how far I have walked to this point of life. A knock on the door from the past happened, and I sat leisurely in my place. You may knock as hard as you can ..but I won’t open that door. Ow… I’ve burned that door too.

I realized, I have walked far now. I don’t forget, but I also know how to put old stories at its place.

Let this chapter unfold. May we all be blessed. Amen
