There are conversations we keep postponing because we assume there will always be another birthday, another festival, another ordinary afternoon to ask them. Mothers often spend years remembering everyone else’s stories, carrying everyone else’s needs, and quietly placing their own lives in the background. That is why, sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can do…
The poet, philosopher and Nobel-prize winner Rabindranath Tagore has written a line that quietly redefines what love is like at its purest: “Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.”It sounds simple at first glance.
