Me, Myself, and a cup of tea

By Mahroo Bordbar

This time, it was my inner Child asking the questions, challenging my reason with tenderness and aching honesty: What do I do with my loneliness? My wiser inner self replied: "Become your refuge. Widen your shoulders and strengthen them so that whenever you need comfort, you can lean on yourself. This is the power of self-love; it makes you self-sufficient and strong." The Child asked again: "Then from whom will I receive love?" Reason replied: Love isn't something you take, but give- Give all you can, so all may live. To people here upon this sphere, To work, to words, to bodies dear. Pour out your love without a count, It comes back full, a boundless fount. Sometimes the best comes when we are free The grip, and let life's gifts just be. Told with clarity, courage, and lyrical depth, Mahroo Bordbar's reflective narrative traces the real-life journey of a young Iranian woman as she faces both inner and outer battles. From the emotional upheaval of a cancer diagnosis to the unfamiliar streets of a new country, she walks a path shaped by moments of empowerment and weakness, self-awareness and doubt. It took courage to strike a balance between head and heart. Through her personal growth and introspection, she discovers that healing isn't just physical-it's a quiet revolution of the soul. This is a story of resilience. It's about the protagonist's choice to embrace love, hope, and courage in the face of fear and uncertainty. And of becoming whole in a world that too often pulls us apart. Hold on. Sit down. Let's have a conversation. Let's drink a cup of tea...
