Hey, welcome to my chaotic space. I hope you find some inspiration from my learnings.

Focus on your happiness, everything else will fall into place.
Jun 3, 2023
So I'm getting a bit calmer with the fact that 20s can be chaotic and confusing and it's alright. Recently I've pressured myself a lot looking at others my age succeed in their fields but I realised that it's kinda senseless to even focus on others' roads while walking on a complete different one from theirs.
I turned 20 this year and this is what I learned:
It's okay to not have a direction, just don't be stagnant and enjoy the journey.
Everyone has their struggles & scars. Stop comparing and empathise more.
The more you seek, the emptier you become. Give yourself and others the love you seek outside.
Once you understand yourself enough, you'll not need others to listen to you.
It's okay to cry it out. But never cry over the same thing again.
Forgive yourself a little. You will do better than before.
Befriend your inner voice. At the end of the day it's only you who stays with yourself.
No matter what others say about you, never say hateful or negative words to yourself.
Eating clean, going for a daily jog, meditation are essentials of your self-love journey.
You are not what you decide, you are what you learn from its consequences.
Yeah that's for now, I hope y'all are doing good, if not then just trust the process. You'll be fine. Sending loads of love to the community.
Also I've started a streak about taking affirmative actions to create conscious positive changes in my life. I'll be tracking it on @unearthingyou so if you're interested please check it out.
until then xoxo.
Day 3 | 6.9.22
100 days of Coding Pt.2 (java/DSA)
studied all day. Planned a lot but could get done only some of it.
Almost done with basics of Java, conditionals & loops. Will soon start the data structures and pretty excited for the upcoming stuff.
xoxo.
Day 1 | 4.9.22.
100 days of Coding Pt.2 (java/DSA)
Successfully completed my 100 days of coding pt. 1 while learning c/c++. Tracked it on my gitHub privately. But since I got back on Tumblr and I’ve got last 4 months of 22 to get some goals fin I decided to track my journey here too.
Recently working on a website clone and restarted my java/DSA prep.
Will be updating about every coding thing and productive task I do cos I just miss my Tumblr community a lot.
Ps. Still learning to make my coding “setup” look aesthetic but will find something during my journey.
xoxo.

I think I've started getting those 'dear diary' vibes from this blog. Feels like home, and here are the life updates, since the last time I posted. I'm sorry to myself for not having completed the 'winter study challenge' but December was hard. Too harsh to get myself out from bed to do anything. New year started great but I was getting worse day by day. This one fine day, I decide to change everything and here I am after two entire months of struggle to get myself out from my cocoon of 'self-loathing' to realise that I was being cruel to myself by letting myself sink into the negativity that surrounded me. So now we're doing great! I'm still on 0 day workout streak, but day 31 of my meditation streak and I wanna say two things, (1) meditation DOES make you stronger. (2) the 21 day rule is TRUE. It WORKS! Trust me.
I let go of a lot of people from my life, whom I thought I wanted with me for longer than this and it did hurt in beginning but I felt my mind getting lighter later on. Which proves that commitments do come with their burden for me. Whether be it friendships, romantic relationships etc etc. So as long as the happiness and satisfaction isn't worth the time and energy spent, I'm not giving out anymore serious commitments, except to myself and my loved ones. It's a great decision I feel.
Spent hours on this one stupid code and its algorithm last night and this morning but this feeling of achievement is so validating and motivating that I think I'm gonna continue my study streak for longer this time. Wish me luck please!! Also, there's this important exam coming up in 76 days and I've got a lot to cover up till then, so will keep y'all updated.
Someone once told me and I think it's now that I understand it well, "Stop wanting others to keep you happy, and tell yourself everyday that yes, you're sufficient for yourself." And trust me you ARE. The best times would've been the ones where you were sharing your happiness with people and not deriving it FROM them. It can be tough and we often fall into the 'parasite trap' but stopping yourself there itself and making an affirmation would definitely help you over longer period of time. Good luck to you for whatever it is that you're upto. And thank you for making it till here.<3<3

I no more have to worry about social anxiety cos all i can do is slide inside my hoodie like a snail in its shell! Hence proved winters are any day better than summers.
day 1 |winter studying challenge
1st dec- do you like winters?
I absolutely love winters! The christmassy vibes and the freshness in the atmosphere, I don't know what's not to like about winters. Yea it does get difficult to study because I'm always in my comfy clothes and sometimes nap all day, but this season has never made me feel sad. It's full of hope, new beginnings and happy endings. I hope this year would be the same or even better.
Here is my brand new challenge! So many people have asked if I would be doing it again this year and I really hope you will all enjoy doing it! I’m so excited to get to know you all through the posts and celebrate winter with you!
❄️ Info ❄️
If you do the challenge, use the tag #winter studying challenge so I (and others) can see your posts. I will try to reblog as many posts in the tag as possible.
This challenge will run for 6 weeks - from the 1st December to the 14th January
There are daily prompts for every day of the challenge
But, as always, I don’t expect everyone to be able to post every day so you can always do catch-up posts!
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!
❄️ Rules ❄️
If you want to do the challenge, please reblog this post
If you do it on any other social media platform (ie. Instagram), please give credit (my instagram | my tiktok | my pinterest)
The challenge will officially start on the 1st December, but if you come across this later, you can definitely start anytime during these six weeks!
DISCLAIMER: Quite a few of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what I celebrate at this time of year. I was very aware of that when I was writing the prompts but I did not think that I knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. I did not want any prompts I made to be disrespectful. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! You can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. If it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate during winter because I am excited to learn about them!

learning to accept
I don't remember the last time I posted, but a lot happened since then.
Results were declared, I didn't make it to my favourite uni and it took me innumerable gloomy, heartbreaking nights, a few sad playlists and too many doughnuts with some serious deep life talks with myself to come to an acceptance for my reality. It hurt, real bad, so much that even a thought about it would drench my eyes, but somehow I couldn't digest it that I'll be spending another four years with my family, studying some engineering sh*t, while my friends would be out, enjoying their freedom. I was happy for them, I still am, but I was so dejected that I didn't know how to celebrate their success.
I wouldn't deny I tried channeling my sorrow to many unhealthy habits, but none of them helped, duh. So one fine day, I decided to pick my dusty ukulele that had been waiting for me for months, and I realised how relieving and therapeutic singing was to me. I got into reading, (which still seems impossible to the past me, but it's true, it's just about finding the right book, and just let the resonance happen), it helped too, I also met someone who was suffering from a fatal illness, and talking to them made me realise a lot of things that many of us fail to pay attention to for our entire lives, (I'm just 18 by the way, I don’t know why am I being so overdramatic about it, but anyway, continue reading). And so, I wanna share some stuff that I learned in the past few weeks, just incase there's some other overdramatic a** sitting behind the screen, just like me, looking for some help.
Morrie said, and I quote, "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live. Learn to detach. Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent. Experience life, experience every single emotion, all the good emotions, all the bad ones. Detachment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That's how you're able to leave it."
Emotions hurt, you have regrets, but it's all because you're stopping that emotion to be felt. It's in you, but you're busy pretending that it's not. You're rejecting a part of you, and you expect it to not hurt? As long as you're a good human, you can never fail in life. I agree I failed, not once, but countlessly, but it was a part of life, not the life itself, and strength to restart comes from the acceptance of failure, you become stronger when you can cry and say to yourself, 'failures are okay'. Be courageous enough to sit with that emotion, try to articulate it, dive into it, and only then can you say, "All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognise that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment."
It is okay to be yourself, it is alright to not be cool, it is okay if people aren't accepting of who you are, it is okay.
My blogs won't have some good college pictures, my college life won't be the way I imagined it to be, I'd be embarrassed to tell what college I'll be going to, I might not be studying some cool stuff like kids from elite colleges do, I won't be living the life I wanted to, but instead I'll be living the story of thousands of students who failed too but didn't give up. And that's who I am proud of. I don't need anyone to sympathise with me because I'm happy, to be trying to make the best of what I've got, I'm happy that I'm learning to accept myself, that I'm becoming more humble, that I gave myself the time to cry over what I didn't get and now I'm able to cherish what I received.
I don't think, anyone made it till here, but if you did, thanks a lot, and see you soon in the next. <33

How did your Exam go ??
heyy!! It was good, better than I expected, but the results aren't out yet for the last exam I appeared for. If you're referring to the one before this, I didn't clear it, but it was a great experience!
thanks for asking though😄
Never forgetting this for sure.
indian parents whose sons can’t cook and clean, who’s going to cook for their s/o when they return home tired after a day’s work? how shameful

DAY (idk)| 10/15 days left for JEE,
Hey! Can we just ignore that the previous post existed and I started that stupid challenge, when i know my routine's hopelessly messed up. I really wanted to give my best in the last 30 days but I effed up the first 20. I did study, but just not at my best. I realised a lot of stuff in the time being and I wanna study now. Cos even if not the best, I wanna get into some decent engineering colleges without any regrets of having wasted my 12th. Yea, i didn't tell you, we got our results weeks ago, and i scored a good 76% cos (sorry.. no excuses, i messed it up).
Anyway, I have my last shot this time, and i guess I can score a good 80-85% if I'm willing to compromise on my leisure. K people, wait for my results, I'm gonna make myself proud this time, I want my parents to believe me when I say, "I'm not worthless." My scores don't define my worth, but they surely say of how much i gave into the process.
I started with Modern Physics and I'm still stuck on it, but yea will surely complete this and a few more units of physics by midnight. I wanna keep my words this time, rest future will say. Bbyeee.<333
Day 1 |30, (intense study challenge)
starting bad, someone said and I quote, "Murphy exists!" beware of him. Everything that could distract me from studies did, I did study but couldn't complete the goal tbh and I really feel sorry bout that. Honestly I didn't have to post but it's the first day and I promised to myself and therefore here I am. It's gonna be intense cos I've never made a strict study schedule that I'd wish to follow willingly (today was an exception cos I received some urgent projects). Anyway, I got my engineering entrances in a month and wanna give my last best shot at it (without any expectations cos I accept I might not be the worthy one). I hope this one's gonna be the most productive of all. Also I'll try to post whatever I did from tomorrow. kbyeeee.
PS: I crossed 200 followers over here and I can't express how motivating it is to me, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your love and support, I'm really grateful for your wishes and affection for me. Love you all!!✨✨💗💗💗💗💗❣️❣️❣️❣️
