My love for soft things

Soft, could be one way to describe me.

I swear.

I know not a lot of people would agree, but

Just because I put up a facade 

Of a strong partially independent woman 

Doesn't mean I'm a rough person.

I can be cute too

With people that I'm comfortable with 

And that is my favourite version of myself.

When I was a kid, 

My uncle (Navaneeth maman) always 

Brought me a lot of soft toys.

Dolls and barbies eventually.

He was my favourite person 🩷

Now that I'm gonna be a literal adult,

(In less than a month) I still love them.

And I'm pretty privileged to still get them.

My mum tries to get us everything we want 

And she adds a sweet twist to them.

In school, Sethu parvathy always had

The most curious looking items.

Pens that look like flowers,

Erasers that resemble lipsticks 

Rulers with an entire story on them

And millions of those cute items.

Even now, my mufler is a soft toy hehe.

Unni and Innu,

I miss them.

I shouldn't have kept them there,

But I thought it's best for their health 

Cus I have Peeli and Milo in here.

Dangerous guys.

Damn I'm really proud of my soft side,

the curious and excited young girl,

Healing inside me.

I love you
