No idol. No sculpted perfection.
Just a stone…
shaped like a womb.
This is Kamakhya.
Not symbolic. Not metaphorical.
Direct.
A civilization that did not hide creation…
but worshipped it.
Blood was not taboo here.
It was शक्ति.
Fertility was not whispered.
It was celebrated.
And then came discomfort.
We began to sanitize.
To cover. To reinterpret.
To make it “acceptable.”
Because somewhere along the way-
we inherited shame that wasn’t originally ours.
But this shrine still stands.
Raw. Unapologetic.
Unfiltered memory of what we once understood.
So ask
-
Was this ever “primitive”…
or are we the ones who became uncomfortable with life itself?

It’s a lonely, gut-wrenching feeling, like fighting a battle you were destined to lose. But maybe, just maybe, it’s not always your fault. Maybe life just enjoys playing its cruel tricks.
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to do things right, life has a way of turning it all upside down. You plan, you tread carefully, you try not to mess up - but somehow, everything still falls apart. And in the end, there’s no one else to blame but yourself.
High-functioning anxiety is exhausting. On the outside, you're calm, capable, and always on top of things. But inside? A never-ending storm of overthinking and self-doubt. Carrying a weight no one sees.
The distance you feel isn't physical, but rather a subtle ache of unspoken fears, and the safety of their presence doesn't always calm the storm of overthinking. It’s a bittersweet reminder of the silent battles we sometimes fight even in the safest of spaces.
feeling like sylvia plath when she said "please don't expect me to always be good and kind and loving. there are times when i will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand"
