“For some of us, commitment issues are not always out in the open. Instead they are hidden and subtle, clothed in an assortment of disguises. For example:

• If you find that you prefer idealized fantasies to flawed human partners, then you may not realize how commitment fears are affecting your life.
• If you consistently commit yourself to inappropriate or unavailable partners, you may not always see how your conflicts are contributing to a destructive pattern.
• If you are very ’picky’ or have a pattern of faultfinding, then, you may fail to take into account how much of this is caused by commitment issues.
• If you are unable to recover from a failed love relationship, then you may be unable to recognize how your own fears are contributing to your paralysis.
• If something about your attitude and life-style discourages potential partners, then you may not be aware of the barriers you have constructed against commitment.”

“Choose me if you feel something, not because it's convenient.”

“February Freeze (Sonnet)

There is a difference between error and evil,
there is a difference between mistake and malice.

People who abandon you at your slightest mistake
are not your people, don't turn cold and bitter -
don't turn into the thing that hurt you,
everybody must choose their own joy and truth.

Only apes and robots chase after perfection,
humans cherish imperfection as a sign of life;
those who build castles in the air are too full
of themselves to see, that perfection is a lie.

Everyone can love you when you have everything,
but one who loves you when you have nothing
that’s the person who truly cares for you.

Anybody can admire you when you're strong,
but bonding happens through vulnerability -
commitment is proven not through perfection,
but in affection through imperfection.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
