As an Indian citizen, if you have never been abroad:
travel to Da Nang, Vietnam (e-visa destination) once.
You'll realise how unliveable Indian cities are.
How government of India has deprived you from the basics of good life.
A beautiful elephant family sleeps blissfully somwhere in deep jungles of the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu. Observe how the baby elephant is given Z class security by the family. Also how the young elephant is checking the presence of other family members for reassurance. So similar to our own families isn't it

type 7: 'marriage is not a necessary commitment to make in life' (marriage will bring predictability in life, doesn't want to confess they find peace in analytical completeness)
got some numerology content for y'all
type 1 : 'marriage is not a necessary commitment to make in life' ( marriage adds no value that they cannot add themselves)
type 9: 'marriage is not a necessary commitment to make in life' (no one person fulfills them)
type 11: 'marriage is not a necessary commitment' (marriage will make spiritual ascension necessarily easier, but doesn't want to impose their spiritual path on others)
I know I'll be in a better position to follow my heart tugs with people when I feel entitled to nothing from a connection, but I am able to articulate my expectations for our sake anyway.
I have this thing I tend to say to people i really can accept as they are: "I want nothing from you" . because I don't expect anything from them selfishly, because I don't want to be obliged to them in a way that hurts me
Truth is expectations are not shackles or debts . They are ways in which we can meet people's interpersonal, spiritual, physical needs and our own. They allow us to translate compatibility into behavioural links that enforce our connection.
I love witnessing people learn who they are and what they are engaged by in love, at work, in families, in friendships. There is so much meaning we exchange by simply being who we are.
Daily reminder that it's okay to lean into your urges relationally, even if you have seen them be done badly, or been told they are too (masculine) feminine for a man (woman) - even if you are still learning how to do it well -
Some examples: It's okay to have a preference for wanting to pursue someone over wanting to be pursued and vice-versa. It's okay to offer space for their feelings OR to take space for your feelings.
I have found that the most damage to compatibility and self-trust is done when we learn to shy away from our strengths or dismiss our weaknesses for the benefit of a signifier
My grandmothers grandfather was an atheist. He stopped the practice of teenage marriage when his eldest daughter died (even though he received lot of backlash from the community and society at large). Every woman in his family (after the eldest daughter) and apart from 2-3
