Rimmi Kaur .

Meet Rimmi Kaur- an Author, Poet, and Mental Health Advocate.

She was born on 12th November 1999. Her Hometown is Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Later, she shifted to Raipur. She completed her graduation in Btech in Electronic & Tele-communication from NMIMS Shirpur.

In her interview with Ms Venture, Rimmi shares- “People listen to me because I'm not hiding behind a mask. I've been through the darkest tunnels and faced monsters that others only whisper about. When I speak, I'm not just sharing stories; I'm opening up the raw and unfiltered chapters of my life.  

I survived suicide and clawed my way back from the edge, and that's not just a tale—it's a testament to resilience. I've faced the ugly truth of sexual abuse, a reality that many sweep under the rug. But, I refused to keep it hushed because silence only empowers the tormentors. My strength isn't in pretending everything's okay. It's in admitting the pain, confronting the demons, and choosing to fight each day. People listen because they see a survivor, not just of circumstances, but of a mindset that says, "I won't let darkness define me." By putting my battles on display, I'm not seeking pity. I'm demanding to understand. When I share, it's a lifeline for others caught in their struggles, showing them that they're not alone. I talk openly about abuse not to shock, but to shatter the stigma to create a space where survivors can stand tall without shame. In a world where mental health battles are often fought in silence, my openness is a rebellion. I've stared into the abyss and now I'm holding a torch for those still lost.

People listen because I'm not just telling my story; I'm giving a voice to the voiceless and a glimmer of hope to those who think they're drowning. I'm not just surviving; I'm thriving despite the scars. And when I speak, it's not just my voice—it's a chorus of resilience, echoing in the hearts of those who need to know that they too can overcome.’’ She also shared her challenges- “In my world, it's like riding a rollercoaster without a seatbelt. Some days, the highs are so bright like fireworks in my mind. I can conquer mountains and paint the sky with dreams. But then, oh, the lows hit like a storm, tearing through everything I thought I knew. Imagine feeling everything intensely, like emotions are a wild beast I can't cage. Happiness dances on a tightrope, easily slipping into sadness. I fight battles with my own mind- a tug of war between who I am and who I want to be. The term "keeping it together" feels like trying to catch butterflies in a hurricane. My emotions spill over, uninvited guests crashing the party in my head. It's like trying to juggle flaming torches hoping none of them set everything ablaze. Then, there's this constant companion- a tag team of BPD and bipolar disorder. They play off each other like a twisted duet. One moment, I'm drowning in a sea of despair, the next, I'm soaring in a sky painted with hope. It's exhausting, this never-ending dance. But in the chaos, I found my voice.

I picked up a pen, and my emotions poured onto paper like rain on thirsty soil. Poetry became my lifeline, a way to untangle the mess within. I started sharing snippets of my journey on Instagram, like messages in a bottle thrown into the vast sea of the internet. Through videos, I painted a canvas of my struggles hoping someone out there would see and understand. It's not about pity; it's about awareness. Shedding light on the shadows that dance in the corners of my mind and maybe, just maybe, helping someone feel less alone. So, here I am a warrior with paper and pixels fighting battles that many can't see. Each day is a step on a rocky path, but with words as my armor, I face the challenges head-on. In this messy symphony of emotions, I'm finding a melody that's uniquely mine.”

The first poem I ever wrote.

Rise and shine

Rise and shine up the sky.

I wonder why can't I?

Are there any black spots on me? Parents say I do have many.

Does anyone care for me or want me buried?

When I say I have problems.

they say how come you have any?

Am I not even worth a penny?

Am I wrong everywhere?

Rise and shine up the sky.

I wonder why can't I?

Are there any black spots on me, 

parents say I do have many.

 Her advice for the younger generation –

“To the youngsters navigating the maze of today's world, I share a simple yet profound mantra: “Be and let be." Life is a complex tapestry woven with challenges and suffering and it's crucial to recognize that everyone is fighting battles we may know nothing about. In the midst of difficult situations and moments of seemingly insurmountable suffering, always hold onto the truth that this shall too pass. It's a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there's a dawn waiting to break through. 

Resilience is not just a trait; it's a superpower and you possess it within you. The mental landscape of today's youth is a battleground with many grappling silently. While awareness about mental health is growing, there's still a veil of misunderstanding. It's a plea to everyone: spread awareness like wildfire. Illuminate the shadows that surround mental health issues. Let's not just talk about it, let's normalize the conversation. In this journey, surpass the knowledge handed down by the generations before you. "Educate yourself more than your parents" is not a challenge, but an invitation to understand the intricacies of your own mind. Knowledge is your armor and with it, you can dismantle the stigma surrounding mental health. When difficulties arise and the weight on your shoulders becomes too heavy, remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness but, a testament to strength. "Seek mental health professionals for difficulties you and your family can't tackle." It's an acknowledgment that some battles require expert guidance and there's no shame in reaching out. So, young warriors, be kind to yourselves and others. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and growth. In a world that often seems chaotic, your understanding, compassion, and resilience can be the guiding lights that lead us all toward a brighter tomorrow.’’
