Raw And Real with Sakshi

  Sometimes, love isn't the missing piece. You gave them your heart, your time, your loyalty—and still, they cheated. Not because you weren’t enough, but because something inside them wasn’t. This post isn’t just about betrayal. It’s about understanding the why behind infidelity that feels senseless. It's about healing without blaming yourself for someone else's choices. 💔 When Love Isn’t the Problem Cheating often isn’t a reflection of how much love was present in a relationship—it’s a reflection of what’s missing inside the person who strayed. Here’s what cheating is sometimes really about: Emotional Avoidance: Some people use affairs to escape from facing their own wounds, insecurities, or unresolved trauma. Addiction to Novelty: They crave newness—not because they’re unfulfilled by you, but because they’re running from routine, even stability. Ego Boosts: Flirting, attention, or the thrill of secrecy can temporarily fill a deep void in their self-e...

🧠 What Is Emotional Anesthesia? Emotional anaesthesia isn’t a medical term — it’s a psychological reality. It’s that deep, hollow numbness you feel when life gets too heavy, and instead of breaking down... You just shut down . Joy doesn’t excite you Grief doesn’t move you You laugh, but it doesn’t reach your soul We often associate pain with loud emotions. But sometimes, the scariest pain is silence — when you feel nothing at all . 🌪️ Why Does Emotional Anesthesia Happen? This state is often your brain’s coping mechanism . When you’re constantly battling stress, trauma, or grief, your body enters emotional survival mode . It numbs you to protect you. 💥 Common Triggers: Long-term burnout Suppressed heartbreak Childhood trauma Repeated rejection Silent grief Anxiety or depression 🧩 Signs You Might Be Emotionally Numb Numbness isn’t always obvious — it whispers. Here’s how it may look: You feel disconnected from your own life Deep conversati...

"Some of the most painful chapters of our lives were written in the heat of a moment we never cooled down from."

🌿 Why Being Selfish Is Sometimes Necessary Choosing Yourself Is Not a Sin — It’s a Survival Skill For years, we’ve been taught that being “selfless” is a virtue — that putting others before ourselves is the definition of love. But what if being selfless all the time… leaves you empty? What if choosing yourself isn’t selfish at all — but an act of healing ? 🪞 What Does “Selfish” Really Mean? Being selfish is often misunderstood. It’s not: Ignoring everyone’s feelings Acting without empathy Abandoning kindness It is : Saying “no” without guilt Protecting your mental health Refusing to pour from an empty cup Being selfish sometimes… just means being honest with yourself. 🧠 Why Choosing Yourself Feels So Hard If you’re a giver, a people-pleaser, or someone raised to keep peace — this part will feel familiar. You overextend yourself to avoid conflict You say “yes” because “no” feels rude You shrink your needs to avoid being “too much” ...

Yoga — the word itself feels so serene, right? You picture a peaceful morning, fresh air, a calm mind, and the perfect downward dog. Instagram is full of gorgeous shots of people gracefully flowing through poses like dancers. But then… reality hits. If you’ve ever tried yoga in your living room and found yourself tangled like a pretzel or falling flat during “Tree Pose,” you’re not alone. This blog post (and comic!) is a lighthearted look at what we expect yoga to be like versus what it’s actually like when we try it for ourselves. 😅 When Your Body Doesn’t Match the YouTube Video In the comic above, I captured one of the most relatable yoga moments — trying to mirror a calm, stable pose, and wobbling uncontrollably instead. You watch the instructor float into balance with their eyes closed, while you're blinking in confusion, wondering which leg goes where. That’s the funny part about self-growth practices like yoga. We think we’ll be perfect at it. But healing isn’t always ele...

Love is one of the most powerful emotions we can experience. But it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Many believe that simply loving someone deeply is enough to sustain a relationship. Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Unexpressed love can still leave someone feeling lonely, neglected, or unloved. In this post, we’ll explore why love must be shown, not just felt , and how this truth can make or break a relationship. ❤️ Why Just Feeling Love Isn’t Enough You might love someone more than words can say. But unless that love is expressed through actions, it can go unnoticed. Relationships thrive on communication, consistency, and care — not assumptions. “I know you loved me. You just never made me feel it.” That sentence ends more relationships than betrayal ever could. 🚨 The Hidden Damage of Unspoken Love When you don’t show love: Your partner may feel emotionally unsafe They may start questioning their worth or your commitment Resentment can quietly build ...

Breakups are never easy. Whether it ended suddenly or after a long, difficult road, emotional pain is a natural part of separation. Healing takes time, intention, and compassion—especially for yourself. In this guide, we'll explore practical and empowering steps to help you emotionally heal after a breakup. EMOTIONAL HEALING AFTER BREAKUP 

  🌿 There Is No Tomorrow (A Spiritual Reflection) In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna reminds Arjuna: "You have a right to your actions, but not to the fruits thereof." We live entangled in outcomes— waiting for peace to arrive once success is achieved, postponing joy until we’ve healed, delaying truth until it’s convenient. But life, in its truest form, exists only in the present karmic moment . There is no tomorrow. Not in the way we romanticise it. Tomorrow is a shadow of the now— a concept created by the mind to comfort our indecision. But the soul knows better. It knows that breath, awareness, and action exist only here . We postpone love because we fear rejection. We defer forgiveness, waiting for perfect closure. We delay purpose, waiting for a clearer sign. But these are illusions. The universe never guaranteed us another sunrise. 🌸 Today is sacred. This moment is your dharma in motion. This silence, this ache, this joy— they are not preludes t...

Life is So Unpredictable – And That’s Okay Have you ever felt like everything was going according to plan—until it wasn’t? That’s life. Unpredictable. Unscripted. Often uncontrollable. One moment you’re cruising on a steady path, and the next, you're navigating an unexpected detour. It’s scary, yes. But it’s also where growth lives. The Beauty and Chaos of Uncertainty We live in a world that craves control. Calendars, five-year plans, and routines are our safety nets. But life doesn’t always follow our script. People come and go. Opportunities arise from nowhere. Tragedies strike without warning. The ground beneath us can shift in an instant. Just recently, the Ahmedabad plane crash shocked the nation. A day like any other turned into a moment of unimaginable sorrow for many families. People who were simply traveling—living their normal lives—never made it home. It was a painful reminder that life can change in a split second, and nothing is ever guaranteed. And yet, i...

From Lover to Leaver: A Journey Through Trauma, Strength & Self-Discovery I never imagined I’d have to write this story—because I never imagined you would become a memory. We were once everything to each other, inseparable, two souls that seemed like they were meant to grow old together. But love isn't always enough. 🌧️ The Breaking Point You stopped choosing me. Not suddenly, but slowly. In the way your texts became shorter, in how our calls were filled with silence, and in the way I began to feel lonelier beside you than when I was alone. You said, “You’ve changed.” Maybe I did. Maybe heartbreak ages the heart in quiet ways. 💔 The Pain of Letting Go I tried to hold on. I convinced myself that if I loved you harder, you’d remember why you loved me. I stayed even when my heart screamed to run. I silenced my pain to keep the peace. But love should not feel like begging for attention. It should never feel like one-sided sacrifice. 🦋 The Shift One day, I woke up and realized...

Leave the Past Behind: How Letting Go Can Set You Free

  From Scared of the Dark to Peace in the Dark 🌪️ Living in Fear: A State of Constant “What Ifs” There was a time when I was afraid of almost everything. What if I fail? What if people leave? What if I’m not good enough? Fear was my default setting. I played life safely — never too high, never too deep — just somewhere in the middle. Comfortable. Predictable. Numb. But the truth is: a life lived in fear isn't lived at all. ✨ The Turning Point: When Life Gently Breaks You Open My shift didn’t happen overnight. It came through breakdowns, disappointments, and quiet heartbreaks that slowly pushed me inward. I started journaling, listening to spiritual talks, and learning to sit with my discomfort instead of running from it. One night, I whispered to myself, “Maybe I don’t need all the answers right now. Maybe I just need to breathe.” 🌈 What Helped Me Move from Fear to Peace? If you’re in that place of unease, I want to share what helped me: 📝 1. Writing My Truth Journa...
