you do things despite feeling afraid. you get out of bed when your mind aches. you ask for help when you need it and try not to stay inside all day. you try to talk yourself out of bad choices. you search for the good things and beauty that are hard to notice. you tell yourself that things will get better, despite feeling otherwise. you treat yourself gently, even though you’re never far from wanting to return to square one. you try your best despite feeling tired. you’ve come a long way from where you started. you want to heal and you’re getting there. that’s something to be proud of.

I needed to be somewhere different. Maybe I needed to be someone different, too.

Can I exhale for a minute?

Can we talk it out? I don’t get it

Can we calm down for a moment?

Can I breathe?

I wish you were here, things would be so different. I can't say I'm doing well, surely you can see. Are you as disappointed in me, as I am? Do you believe I'll find out what to do and who to be? I just wish you were here, if not to save then to love me, While I figured out how to be the best me.

I, me and myself

Not Alive but definitely Awake,  You seem unreasonably Sane in the worst possible storms Are you fearless of Fear or are just trying  To keep Going On for someone else's sake

What is more important than love?

Sometimes, love isnt enough for any relationship…there are a lot more things that actually matter…concern, patience, an understanding and respect. You have to respect the person and their choices first…treat them well…and then expect them to love you back!! And this applies to you too…respect your decisions and love yourself first.☺

having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. it’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive, and it’s wanting friends while hating socializing. it’s like running a marathon with the willpower of a corpse because you want to get to the end but you also want to sleep and evaporate into the soil and become compost for snails and flowers because then at least you’re useful

Friends and foes

In today’s world, there’s each for themselves...no person seems bothered to care about their friends and colleagues. The mantra of friendship has become vague with time, as technology threatens to overpower human bonding experiences. Nobody got time for you in this world.

In the very few get-together and meet-ups, we tend to drift away from the main aim i.e. being with each other and listening to what is happening in your friend’s life, instead we end up mocking their life problems, which in turn hurts the most important people, your bffs! Are your “friends” behaving like your “foes”??

When things break, it’s not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. It’s because a little piece gets lost - the two remaining ends couldn’t fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed.

The early morning drama!!

I guess 9 out of 10 times, i've felt like i dont wanna get up in the morning for school/college/other work! Why can't classes start at noon? 😐 It feels so comfortable in bed, that we don't like being out of its embrace. But then sometimes...if I stay too long in bed, i wake up with a heavy feeling in my head, and a bad mood!😣 Is it just me or it happens to you too!!?? Btw its tuesday...college day:( [apparently I have sundays and mondays as holidays] And i wish i had had more sleep!

WHY ARE THE RAINS SO IMPORTANT TO MUMBAIKARS?

Aside from the fact that Mumbai receives rainfall for 3-4 months only, what is so ridiculously important about them to have such an attachment with the people of Mumbai?

After the tortures of a sweltering summer, the heavy downpours do bring the temperature down by a few good degrees, but its not just about the cool breeze...its about the people around you...the ones who stick by your side, ready with an umbrella in hand, who never let you fall in a puddle.The season of joy and romance also brings to light, the bitter reality of loneliness. Its during the rainy times in our lives when we are or at least picture ourselves to be the happiest....and then reality sinks in. I guess the rains do have an emotional connect with the people...right??

Do you have a rainy tale to share??

AVOIDING SOMETHING?

Yesterday i didn’t wanna do my college work...so today i avoided facing my teacher by not going to college altogether. Its not like i fear homework or anything but now it feels a bit frightening. I keep avoiding certain things in life and then the pile grows bigger and starts threatening me!! Forget work...i also avoid a lot of people...well talking to them...makes me queasy. i avoid being myself and acting quirky in college...because u know...i have a reputation, an image to uphold....but aren't we all??

Tell me...what or who have you avoided?

Why Boredom is the Key to Good Design

This article by Rosanne Somerson, president of the Rhode Island School of Design, was originally published by Metropolis Magazine as "We Need More...

Such an interesting article… worth a read!

“Someday, when you reflect back on your life, will you remember the time you spent on Facebook or surfing the web? Or will you think about the time when a creative spark fired up a new idea? Will you have filled your time with observing other people’s content? Or will you have actively participated in creating your own?

Perhaps it’s time to pay more attention to allowing ourselves not to pay attention. Maybe now is the perfect moment to bring back boredom.”

Racing towards your future?

I’ve heard so many people reminiscing about their carefree younger days, the oh-so-glorious-times of their lives. Well let me tell you the truth...its not as easy as they say...because being in my 20s seems like the worst part of my life..PERIOD!

Its a rat race...everybody is trying to make a better future for themselves by not living but surviving in the present. Is there a guarantee for a perfect future? How about ignoring these unfathomably deep questions right now and listening  to your favourite music and dancing like a maniac in your room!!?

let me know how you tackle life...
