GIVE UP!




Do you ever pause for a while and thank the universe for all those times it saved you from the things/people you thought you cannot live in the absence of but you actually ended up living pretty well without?

When you look back at things from a fresh and unbiased perspective now, I am sure you realise these were truly the reasons for making your life miserable.

All I have ever heard is not to GIVE UP! Be unstoppable, never stop trying, you can fix your own environment, have a winning mindset, and so I did. But, little did I understand, can you win over something that's not yours to win, can you fix something that's not yours to fix?

All you have to win over are your battles, all you have to fix is your own goddamn self. It is not on you to mend everything and everyone's life. Crisis management is not your full-time job. Stop taking it that seriously. When everyone was busy preaching not to give up, I wonder why I didn't leave sooner? I wish someone told us that there are times that giving up is the only resolve, sooner rather than later.

Nevertheless, take some time out to express your gratitude towards the universe for all the potential hurt, drama, and disrespect it saved you. Appreciate yourself too for all the not-so-sure escapes you made that you now term as, Phew! That was a close call!

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...
