3 am Thoughts

Updated: Jul 29, 2025

what if I was born in some small shack in Bihar and not a privileged

household in Bombay?

What if I was born to some orthodox parents and not my supportive

parents?

What if I wasn’t born as my healthy self and rather as something else?

What if I didn’t have the exposures and opportunities I have today?

What if I had to sleep on some pathway in winter without anything but

the ground?

Sometimes we don’t realize how bestowed we are until life one day

grounds us. There are endless possibilities of where we could have

been or how our life would have been, but who we have, who we are

right now is enough. Those who left must have left for a reason. And

those who stayed, also stayed for a reason. Take a moment to be

grateful for what you have rather than focusing on what you don’t. The

day you are satisfied with the power you hold is the day you escape the

matrix.
