I came across this very Instagram-y quote years ago. It said - the people who break you are not the ones putting you back together.

The forgive and forget in me was personally outraged by this. The number of times I have let people back in my life who did not deserve to is honestly offensive to a person with even a tiny fragment of self-respect.  

But I was always of the view that there are certain decisions you make
When you are furious at things,
When you cannot see the light,
When you are not high on hope,
When there is nothing left to fight for, 
When all you end up with is nothing but a few shattered pieces of your heart.

However, in the above-listed situations, your ability to think clearly is compromised. Given some time, you clear your head and try reconsidering your decisions. Honestly, there’s no harm in doing that. Anyway, who wants to lose on the best things in life because of some moments of hot-temper.

Times changed, trauma heightened up, I wisened up and eventually understood that before revoking your decisions, clear your head again. Because if the people who broke you were the ones to fix you, they wouldn’t hurt you in the first place, they wouldn’t be the ones disappointing you, they wouldn’t be the ones making you feel like an absurd fool. 

We generally have this tendency of going lengths to save a relationship, but we hardly understand that if it has to be saved, it was never immune enough :)

  I wrote an article more than 2 years ago describing the feelings you go through at the beginning of new love. The tingly feeling, the curiosity, the butterflies, the element of surprise, the rush, all of it! Well, that did not take a long time to go down the drain.   I have talked enough about what I went through after that. What I never felt like pondering upon is how long it will take me to get all the possible toxicity out of my system.  I thought the efforts I was putting in on myself were more than enough. I was super kind to myself. I gave abundant time to process my thoughts. I ensured to not jump to anything too quickly. I worked on my baggage before I even considered starting anything new.  And I supposed I was doing okay. I was looking forward to starting a new phase in my life. I won't say I was trying, but I wouldn't mind if the opportunity presented itself.  The opportunity did present itself, and I couldn't be happier that it did. What follo...

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.
