You think you are so perfect. You think you have it all figured out. A high-paying job, some good connections, living in a rented apartment with a breathtaking city light view of the skyscrapers from the balcony whose rent goes out of your own pockets. You earn, you spend, and live your life in an illusional bubble of mature and responsible adult life and suddenly you cross paths with someone who makes a hole in that bubble with the rays of reality. He shines so bright and the rays hit so hard in the beginning that you feel the burn, you fight and resist to hold onto that bubble but slowly and gradually the walls start to melt.
He pushes you out and you are so angry at him. You get cold and there is so much of resistance, but he keeps his patience and never lets go of your hand.
As the bubble completely melts, you see that person more clearly now. The way he prioritizes all your important things despite having a bundle of unattended tasks of his own.
The way he fights to move mountains that comes in the way of you coming closer to him.
His consistency and determination to lead a disciplined and healthy life not for himself, but for you and his family just so that he can be capable of standing like a rock when life takes difficult turns.
You see his beautiful mind full of knowledge on anything and everything, you name it but still yearns to know every single thing that could be known about you.
And you realize that such is your husband who has so much to offer.
Yes, he melts away your comfortable bubble filled with rigid delusions but welcomes you into a vast universe filled with love, warmth, support, appreciation and abundant learning.
You wake up to reality but this reality does not feel as scary as you had imagined it to be. You give a try to embrace it and soon realise that this reality is better that the stiff bubble wrapped in layers of lies which you had been telling yourself that you were cozy and comfortable but actually you were just restricting yourself from being open and then he arrives, your knight in shining armour, and sets you free from your own cage and you explore this beautiful reality together hand in hand and when you look back, you realise how beautifully you have blossomed in his rays from the bud that refused to grow.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our own illusions that we forget to see the truth. It’s scary to step out of that comfort zone, but often, it leads to something far more beautiful. The support and love of someone who truly cares can change everything, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Why do we cling to our bubbles of delusion instead of embracing the reality that could set us free?
We tend to cling to our bubbles of delusion because we are somewhat scared, and there tends to be some insecurity lingering deep within us. But when we are provided the safe embrace of someone who truly wants us to grow and shine, we blossom. But it takes a little bit of time for us to build that trust in that person.
