The Words with Wings

What is the world without a little magic? I've recently come to realise that I love noticing the little things, and I'm so grateful to get to see them all. When you lose a quarter every year to your seasonal depression, you try not to lose any more time shrinking yourself. So, I don't understand the nonchalance of our generation. I'm very chalant, and I'm very loud about it. We can't always keep waiting around for the next big thing to happen in our lives, just to feel happy. So, lemme tell you about all the little things that brought me a smile lately: I found a heart in my cookie, hihi My table number at a restaurant was my favourite number haha I got to see a perfect sunset while travelling back home one day I named the wifi at my place "Cookie" I rode on one of the longest escalators that I've ever seen I got my hot chocolate in the "Harry Potter" edition mugs from Starbucks I ate the best kulfi ever My Kajal can double as an eyeliner...

 This is a question I saw on social media, and the comments had all sorts of answers, ranging from parents to siblings to friends to partners. But it made me wonder, what about those who don't go to anyone when they're falling apart? What if some of us have handled ourselves for so long that we don't know how to ask for help? Now, don't get me wrong, I love and respect my family and friends, and sooner or later, they do get to know if I was facing something. But maybe I just don't know how to break down in front of them.  Growing up, some of us were told we were overreacting when we tried to open up, while others were told we were easy children who handled everything on our own very well. However, did we? We probably just started believing that we can't trust anyone but ourselves. Because what if we get ridiculed when we're pouring our hearts out? Or what if the other person is just indifferent to our concerns? Both of those scenarios lead to us getting hurt...
