Of Ink, Paper, and Words Unspoken, by Kalpesh Desai

What better way to reinvent oneself, than donating our organs when we move on from this world. I had written this for World Organ Donation Day, in the hope that it inspire others to pledge their organs. After all, parts of us can live on and extend the lives of someone else.

I chose to write this as a letter to my younger self, or to anybody who is where I was once, just setting out in the world.

I chose to write about how everything that you might and will go through can only temper your strength. If every experience can perhaps be a lesson you can learn in awe, instead of something that gets you down. And how, perhaps, you could perceive things you shift your differently. I hope this helps and you get to hear it at a time you needed to. And if it isn’t that time, save this to revisit this poem later.

Ever so often we need to remind ourselves as to why we fell in love with someone, or embarked on a new initiative, or job, or project.

Time has a tendency to leave us jaded, when things don't always pan out as we wanted.

May this #poem and #spokenword serve to remind you of the spark that got you started, in the first instance, and allow you to shine the light on the path you must take.

More often than not, we feel like escaping the situation we are in, rather than facing our fears and battling it out. How do you wish to be remembered ?
