"THE GOLDEN CLOUDS" - POETRY BY VAISHNAVI GUPTA


Listen Later

Hello everyone! Today's episode is about a poem that changed the way I've looked at my life for so long. Who needs people when you have so many other things. Things to think about, overthink about and play with. I love the play of words. I'm a big fan of puns. Needless to say, today's episode is not about puns or word play. It's about the poem that I wrote when I was feeling alone. Sometimes being surrounded by family is not enough. Everyone needs someone that they can talk about family problems. Or even regular relationship issues. But no one, I repeat, no one can help you the way you can help yourself. So, I have this small teddy bear which was my first you ever. I've felt more comfort with it than any other thing or person. Not even my mother. So whenever I feel like I'm going to go off the deep end, I look for it. And whenever it is gone, I hide it someplace so that next time I can find it. When we're having panic and anxiety attacks, we just forget our good memories. So it's difficult to locate that comfort object. And when were searching for the comfort object, we shift our thoughts to that object. I have realised one thing. Never be emotionally dependent on one single person. They feel too much burdened and eventually leave if things get worse. Anyway! Enjoy this episode and do not forget to share it with people who lack hope.
