Prathima's Miles & Milestones

Come home to yourself.

Come home to yourself, because you will always be your own home at the end of the day. Not the house. Not your trophies on the wall or work appraisals. Not the job. Not the person. Not the friends. You.

Life can feel overwhelming. It can feel uncertain. It can feel happy, exciting, and peaceful. But it can also feel scary. I have realized that a life driven by fear is not a life.

Life doesn’t have to be scary, and life doesn’t have to be lived in fear. Because that isn’t living. Things don’t have to be so scary, and things don’t have to go so wrong. And all things in life, regardless of how unpleasant, can always be handled. Because every day, you can come home to yourself.

Begin your day at home with yourself. End your day coming home to yourself. Do this every day, whatever it takes. It’s so easy to get sidetracked from that journey back home with the world we live in. It’s so easy to not like what home looks like at times and to not want to come home to it. I think these moments are when we need to remember them the most.

Home is where you feel yourself after a long tiring day or a blissful day with or without being a so-called — successful person, minus all the materialistic obsessions.

You are STILL A WINNER, not just a finisher.

Sometimes we need to remember that a home isn’t always clean and tidy and prim and perfect. Sometimes, it needs some cleanup. Sometimes, it needs some fixing and patience. In time, the home will feel nice and tidy again.

It’s about appreciating home when it isn’t a gleaming light of perfection. It’s about loving and feeling grateful for your home, no matter what its state. It’s accepting home for all of the good and bad parts — the cracks in the walls and all the things about it that make it unique. Because home is special. And home is you.

I hope you find a home in your forever person who gives you the space & accept you as fabulous as you are, indeed.

And find each other being grateful for having found each other.
