A story of love, loss and second chances by Nikita Singh, releasing this Valentine’s Day.
Are you taking care of the calcium needs of your child ?
“Solo travel,” they say, “is something everyone MUST do in their lives.” But how open are we to letting our girls and women travel alone?
“Traveling alone enlightens, Brightens minds, heightens senses, It’s a better bet than that Goa plan.”
When he goes, its all of that and more, But does she go? Does she even want to go?
“I’d rather go with friends”, “I won’t like it” Are heard far more than a yes with a smile
Is it her? Or is it us? Us, the rest?
Telling her she’s better off home, Better off hanging out with friends, Better off staying in her comfort zone
Stepping out could cause chaos Could let her stay unchecked, Unfiltered, uncensored We don’t want any trouble (well, trouble, danger or rape)
But remember, a step out takes you closer to places Places on the outside, places on the inside On a hill where the sun comes bright Her shining wings can illuminate the world Even enlighten all of us
All the world at her feet, if only we let her go She could use the solace, we could use the lesson.
