Life is a journey

Writing what the mind refuses to stay quiet about 😊

When life hands you storms or sunshine, you carry an umbrella but don't blame the sky. So, why blame people for weather in their hearts.

It's not that we are confused, we are right about what our heart says. It's a confusion when you seek opinions from people. Don't panic but give yourself time, and you will get the answer.

Always surround yourself with people who make you feel seen for who you truly are, not people who pressure you to become someone you’re not; choose those who celebrate your truth instead of editing it, who pull you closer to yourself rather than making you shrink, who lets you grow without pretending.

"I'm Fine" - The Most Common Lie People Tell Themselves

It hurts most when the people meant to hear you loudest go quiet right when you need them.You try to explain, but the words hit a wall of "we know better" or "it's not that serious". So you stop talking, and start carrying it alone.

Parents don’t always listen because they’re scared, tired, or stuck in their own generation’s way of fixing things: silence, control, or denial. It’s not always malice. But the silence still feels like abandonment.

And that’s the irony: you grew up learning to share everything with them, but now you’re learning to hold everything back.If you’re feeling this, you’re not wrong for wanting to be heard. Sometimes the listening you need has to come from someone outside the house, while you keep trying to bridge the gap at home.

People judge you because it’s faster than understanding you. Your choices hold up a mirror to their own fears and limits, so they critique to feel safe. Sometimes it’s projection, sometimes habit, sometimes just noise.

What you do has never depended on their opinion.

Why do you think people hide their real feelings?

Fear of being judged

Nobody really listens

They don't understand themselves yet

Pretending feels easier

People often speak with confidence before they truly understand.

In a world full of opinions, genuine listening has become rare.

Sometimes the loudest voices know the least about the pain they judge.

True or not???

People Change with Time

People change with time, sometimes slowly and sometimes all at once. Life experiences, heartbreaks, struggles, and growth shape the way a person thinks and feels. The person someone was years ago may not be the same person they are today. As priorities change, relationships and emotions also begin to change naturally. Some people become softer with time, while others become more guarded because of what they faced. Change is a part of life, and every phase teaches people something new about themselves.

Echoes of within

I’ve always believed that words understand us better than people sometimes do.

So this is where I’ll write— about the things I think about but rarely say, about the silence between conversations, about the parts of life that feel too personal to explain.

If you’re someone who feels deeply, you’ll probably feel at home here.
