You are exactly on time for your own story.”— Cheryl Strayed In this age where, terms like situationship, benching etc have become common in love and romance, it is also okay to never have been in a relationship before, you don’t have to be experienced to be in love, it isn’t a job qualification that you have to fulfill. But people have started to treat…

The aesthetic of Sadness

Instagram WordPress In this era, where we have become more so vulnerable on the internet, which is for the better, and helps others see that they are not alone in whatever pitfall that they find themselves in. But in my humble opinion, somewhere along the line of this emotional vulnerability and being open about your mental health, we have made sadness an aesthetic, like posting a sad selfie in…

The gradual desensitisation

Instagram WordPress In this age where overconsumption, has become normalised, scrolling reels when you’re waiting, or when you’re going from your room to the kitchen even, listening to music when you’re going to the shop, all of us become so overwhelmed with information throughout the day. Whether it is from scrolling through instagram reel, youtube shorts, twitter or even whatsapp now, we get…

Isolation- a house with no doors

Instagram WordPress Medium “The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.”— Michel de Montaigne In this age, I feel that we have somewhere or the other, characterized isolation as alluring, attractive and inviting. But that’s actually not what isolation truly is, Isolation in my humble opinion is the ability to sit with one self, and sit with ones own thoughts,…

College- a changed dynamic

Instagram WordPress Medium They say the only constant is change, and everything does change every second, every single hour, and every single day. Even though its a slow process to bring about a drastic change, but it does happen.

Who are we when no one is watching?

Instagram WordPress Medium “We all have two lives. The second begins when we realise we’re not performing for anyone anymore.” The quote couldn’t have summarised this piece in a better way. All of our life I think subconsciously we go about performing for everyone around us. Taking feedback, amending our ways, and trying to do better in our lives ahead. Kind of like an artist performing on a…

being Judgemental and judgementalism

Instagram WordPress Medium There’s a whole lot of difference in making judgements and the concept of “Judgementalism.” Making judgements is how we live, and make our way through the world, judgements about how to do an assignment, where to invest our money, about people . But Judgementalism is the concept when someone is quick to jump to harsh conclusions, without even knowing the person,…

The rise of toxicity

Instagram WordPress In the age of social media, we’ve seen a huge rise in online literary communities — Bookstagram, BookTube, BookTok — all spaces where readers connect, share recs, and gush about their favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters. I’ve personally found a lot of joy in following these platforms for book recommendations, aesthetics, and hot takes. But over time, I’ve noticed a…

Inevitability of living

Instagram WordPress Part of the experience of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life, is the whole idea of making your peace with the inevitable. What I mean by the inevitable is that, making peace with the fact that in your life you will inevitably- trust the wrong person, hurt the people who didn’t deserve it, not give the right reaction at the right time, feel guilty, think…

One-sided love

Instagram WordPress “falling in love” how that phrase just gives you warmth, sends you into a dreaming state of the time where you were in love with someone who may or may not be yours now, if they are (you’re the lucky one). Falling in love is such beautifully scary in my opinion, in our early teenage years, when we had just entered this new age where “teen” was added whenever you filled out…

met my younger self for coffee today -a diary entry

Instagram WordPress So I met my younger self for coffee today. He was wearing black from head to toe, I was wearing my beige striped sweater and beige pants with my typical white sneakers which with their regular wear had gotten creased and smudged with dirt over their tips. He had his hair stuck back in time with a military cut, low maintenance and restricted to societal boxes, I had my hair…

In the process

Instagram Medium WordPress I was recently reminded of this quote by my mother, she said “If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it” now that lead me to think how much of the time, we whine about the process of something, whether it’s growing your company, taking a lecture in college, reading a book etc. and we often think that “when will it be over?” and we think that when it does get over we’ll be so…

Taking your time- a coffee table discussion

Instagram Medium Recently I had this conversation that is going to span this blog post about comparisons and doing things on your own pace, and it got me thinking inwards. I have always been the kind of person who looks over their shoulder and gets jealous if someone is doing better than them, in fact this dictated the entirety of my school life, comparing marks every time the papers were shown…

Contentment

Instagram WordPress “Contentment” is one of the most prevalent problems that the human race struggles with on a day to day basis unconsciously. Contentment is when you are happily satisfied with what you have in your life. And as a part of the human race, we are constantly growing and evolving into something new, and transcend into new chapters of your life. There is always this hunger of…

Alone, but not lonely

Instagram WordPress This is a topic I feel very strongly about, because there have been times and I think I’m currently in this place as well where I am in my own bubble and wanna spend the majority of the time on my own. I call this phase the “Alone, but not lonely” not original I know, but it sums it up in a nutshell. Alone and Lonely are often used synonymously but they are completely…

Friendships: The real chinaware

Instagram WordPress I was recently reminded of this quote, “Friendships are like chinaware, rich exquisite and rare. Once broken can be mended, but the crack is always there.” Now this cannot be more true about friendships. They are the real chinaware that one starts collecting in life, and one that one should protect keeping it in a industrial strength vault in our hearts. Friendships are…
