The fullness of your soul
reminds me of the emptiness of mine.
And of countless others
who have not yet realized
the word for what they feel,
who have been carefully dodging
their own reflections
by looking into the the right mirrors.
And you might not have known
what this plight feels like,
but I guess I am also choosing
a convenient lens to look at you,
while I am making list of people
who have misunderstood me.

Hi,
I am Nayana Nair. I'm 28. Just a person who has tons of things to talk about....not much organized thoughts sadly.
I'm interested in all forms of storytelling (though I don't have the talent for it). So I like series, movies, novels, anime, and whatnot. I'm also really passionate about music, psychology, learning languages (I just dream big, too undisciplined to makes any actual progress) and literature. I am overall just a curious person who is interested in all kinds of things, as long as they suit my taste.
I always wanted to be a writer (and also a teacher)..But I don't think I have the skills required...this blog is just my attempt at becoming the writer I always wanted to be...Blogging for few years, I have realized I am more of a poet (although, I am not sure that I am good enough for that label)...I hope I realize more about myself through writing.
Thanks for dropping by!! Hope I didn't disappoint. :)

it rains in my heart 
Never ever feel like you have to live up to anyone else! You are unique one of a kind child of God! Your soul is not empty. You just may not have fully discovered the contents therein! Embrace who you are! Be authentically you! Compare yourself to no one! Instead celebrate your uniqueness!!!❤️❤️❤️Xoxoxo
Thanks a lot for such encouraging words, I am trying my best to find myself and to accept myself. I hope that happens someday.
Lots of love xoxoxo 🙂

that segment and the opener really caught my eye.
how can we dodge our reflection in the right mirrors? paradoxical goodness.
When I wrote that I was thinking about those distorting mirrors, how they would be such bad mirrors if used in actual life. They just good for fun. 🙂 I thought maybe how we perceive ourselves would be like relying on such mirrors for reflecting what we are. And just because they help us maintain the delusions we have about ourselves, they would be the right mirrors for our heart. 🙂
I am glad you liked my poem 🙂
Thanks a lot 🙂
