Cursed GenZ?

 I don't know if it is just me or the entire Gen Z is cursed or something. They say we are "prone" to depression but I  don't think so. It's more like it has become a part of our lives. We are used to living with it. It's hard for the elders to relate to. We can't explain it either. We ourselves don't know what we're dealing with sometimes. We are into so much exposure that we don't handle so great. Everyday I see at least more than one story about depression and stuff that someone puts up . We have no idea what we are gonna do next or with our lives. 

At the same time, I think we are the strongest generation ever. We can handle things ourselves without help. We hit rock bottom and find our own way back even without letting anyone know. Sometimes even our parents are not aware of the state of mind we are in.

NO MATTER WHAT GOES WRONG WE KEEP UP THE FIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.

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...
