“Moment of Contentment”- Nayana Nair

For me, every moment of contentment
is often followed by the realization
of having a lack of either ambition
or the means or ability to achieve it.
And though I can live with the lack of both.
I often wonder
why do we feel the need to be validated
by some measure,
by some reason,
to belong in one of the circles
that the world is divided into.
When we end up questioning ourself,
“Who would be actually there for me
if not for the pieces of me
that I am feeding them everyday?”
