You’re enough! You are one hundred percent enough and capable of doing everything this world has to offer on your own. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, I repeat, anyone. Be your own provider. It’s empowering.

Don’t ever hold a grudge! Holding a grudge might not affect you at first hand but it surely does a lot of damage subconsciously causing all the negativity around you. Take the high road, It’s difficult but absolutely worth it.

Voice your opinions! In the society we are brought up, our opinions are never heard, respected, or cared for but still take the effort to voice them. Be loud and be further clear about what you think of things. It’s liberating and maybe in years, it will make a change too.

Identify YOUR people! Find your tribe and go lengths to keep them close because you’ll definitely find people on your way who’ll make you choose. Choose wisely. It took me time, heaps of betrayal, and roughly a dozen heartbreaks but I found people who are not only my own little army but the ones I can enjoy comfortable silences with. 

Don’t give up on love! I know it gets tiring waiting for THE ONE. And more than that the journey seems really rocky and draining but you are going to cross paths with that one person who’ll stick around. It will be magical, effortless, and worth the wait.  Meanwhile, why not try falling in love with yourself and make the waiting worth every millisecond.

You know that thing you are too scared to do or go through with? Yeah yeah, that one! Just do it anyway. Failure any day is better than living with regret. You can overcome failure with your wisdom but for getting over a regret, this lifetime might feel brief. Trust me your Ted Talk climax will suck if you don’t have a few setbacks to mention.

What your parents think of you will always, always mean a lot to you. There will be clashes, disagreements, maybe some drama too. But don’t take it too hard on yourself. Wait for a moment, calm down, and try to understand where they are coming from. It will get easy and start making a lot more sense. 

Stop fixing damaged goods! If you go and read the Job Description for the relationship you are committing to, I can assure you, nowhere in there will you find that you need to fix a person first, coach them how to treat you, and clean up their mess in order to derive happiness. I am 23 now and trust me if by this age a person can’t fix themselves, IT’S NOT WORTH IT!

Don’t lose faith in the power of self-healing! As I said earlier, you, my friend are thoroughly capable of fixing your own self. As long as you don’t want to put things in the past and take a road to recovery, no one can push you there. Go easy, trust your instincts, take your time.  If you fall, take a moment, stand up, walk, run, rise! Rise above it all!

SEEK PLEASURE IN SIMPLICITY

We as a generation are a set of people who are usually confused, terrified, uncertain, over-optimistic/pessimistic, trying to have it all, commitment-phobic because of lack of worthy examples to look up to, or because our relationships perished sooner than a glass of milk.  I have said it before, and I'll say it again! We do not express gratitude enough. We do not appreciate the little things in life. We are too busy working towards and looking at the bigger picture that we miss out on the comfort and beauty of reality.  The pandemic has taken too much from us already, our loved ones, our normal lives, and our will to socialise. It's high time we start acknowledging the things that we generally do not give enough credence to. It's due time we start smiling at the simple joys, as the big ones aren't happening like they used to.  Appreciate the ones who even make a faint attempt at reaching out to you from their equally busy schedule. Do not hesitate in reaching out to pe...

Jack of Crisis, Masters of Denial

  Sinking in the sea of crisis, human-made, situational or self-induced. We aren't looking for solutions anymore. We aren't wasting time sulking. We are straight-up pushing it all to the deepest, darkest, rarely visited corners of our heads. After all, living in denial still counts for living, contrary to facing the feelings that leave you lifeless. We are eating, drinking, sleeping off or sleeping with the crisis. Pretending to be as unbothered while denying the fact that it burns like a gin and hurts like a bitch. Faking, hoping to make it. Skating through life while the fire within simmers only to erupt when least expected.

Life, Choices and The Opportunity Cost

  I am a planner. I love planning, but, unfortunately, planning doesn't usually love me back. From the earliest of days, I have had this compulsive need to plan the hell out of my life. Planning is my comfort zone. My biggest pet peeve is not knowing what next. Naturally, I hate bizarre concepts like surprises; they are a series of misarranged and chaotic events. Neither do I understand, nor do I appreciate the thrill of uncertainty.  But being a planner, I understand the importance of making choices. I understand that life is choices. At every step of the way, you're presented with at least one. You can be as cautious as possible, as mindful as you want and as aware as you think, but no level of planning, no length of pros and cons list can ensure that the choice you are making is the right one.  I studied this concept called "Opportunity Cost" in school. By the book definition, it goes - "the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Ever...
