You are your main character!

 Why do you always save 'that' dress for a special occasion?

Wear it. You are the main character in your story every single day, and not just on your birthday.

Why do you need someone to say that you are beautiful?

Look into the mirror. Can't you see it yourself?!

Why did you stop dancing in the rain?

Why did you stop climbing the monkey bar?

Why did you stop jumping on the tetra pack on the street that makes the "Bop!" sound?

Why did you put your inner child to sleep?

Because someone told you to act like an adult?

Afraid of what others might think?

Screw them. Don't let other's pointless opinions decide your happiness.

They miss their innocence and can't stand to see anyone still in possession of it.

The world of adulting is in desperate need of the inner child that they lost somewhere in their early 20's.

People are gonna judge no matter what you do.

People are definitely gonna shove you with their opinions that they could not pursue.

Just turn a deaf ear.

Not caring what others think does not necessarily mean that you have to be a rebel in anything and everything.

Consider advises and opinions from people that you know genuinely care for you.

Do not take them for granted.

Ignore people that you know for fact mean you no good and try not to lend your ears to people that show up to "care" for you only when you get your results or when you have just finished your degree or looking for prospects. 


Point is, why let them dim your sunshine when YOU CAN BE YOUR MAIN CHARACTER!

A little better than yesterday.

 "What is Progress?" Definitely not easy to answer as it sounds, is it? Some might say it is improving and scoring good marks  Some might say it is achieving a higher position at work. Some might say it is growth in general.  While they are all correct, I think Progress is getting 'a little better than yesterday' no matter how little. If you want to start waking up early and if you could wake up five minutes earlier than the previous day- it's a progress If you want to start eating healthy and try to eat one less samosa than the previous day- it's a progress If you plan on writing a book and start by writing one page per day- progress If you aim to clear an exam and you start by studying ten minutes everyday- Yes! It's still making progress. If you want to lose weight and you eat one less sweet than the previous day- Yeah, progress. If you want to gain weight and eat a little more protein than the previous day- Yes! Progress! Progress!! Progress!!!  There ...

The Feedback Loop from Hell.

 Mark Manson, in his New York Times Best seller book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck gives a concept called "The Feedback Loop from Hell."  This basically means that feeling an emotion over feeling the said emotion intensely for feeling it in the first place. Let's break it down. Say you feel sad about something that you want to get over, now you feel sad for feeling sad and feel sad again for not being able to get over it.  Say you are a person with temper issues and you lose your temper. Now you are angry with yourself for getting angry and, again you lose your temper over the fact that you make yourself look like a mean person.   And the cycle goes on... Manson says that today's social media culture has given birth to a belief that feeling these negative emotions is not okay, which is not true. "The Feedback loop from Hell has become a borderline epidemic, making many of us overly stressed, overly neurotic and self-loathing"         ...

Confessions of a girl who 'pretends'

Image
 As a writer I feel like writing in first person is the most vulnerable thing a writer can do. I always write in third person so that people don't think that I write about me. This felt like something I needed to write as 'I'. So Here goes nothing: people know me as the tall girl with big eyes and long hair that I once had. They either think that I am confident or a bitch, both judged by the way I walk. Have received compliments almost to an extent that it feels like people don't actually mean it sometimes. BUT all this is just a facade. Seldom does anyone realise that there is a scared traumatised girl behind the mask pretending to be the strongest. All the trauma and endless pretending easily leads to insecurities. Being called beautiful isn't gonna stop you from comparing yourself to someone that the person you loved left you for. It makes you question your own worth. Though you know it in your heart that you did not deserve any of the shit that you went through,...

... meant and not said, most love is lost.

Image
"You gotta talk it out" "Communication is key" I know blah.. blah Those are things that are easier said than done. But since people keep saying it, shouldn't there be some truth to it though? According to a recent study, 67.5% divorces primarily occur due to poor communication. What's the point of being in love with someone if you don't tell them? People are not mind readers. They need to hear it. Humans need reassurance. "Between what is said and not meant, and meant but not said, most love is lost"                                                                                                                   - Khalil Gibran   Showing your lov...
