Often in life, you get stuck in a situation,

Where you have to choose between pleasing the majority and peace of mind.

Choose the latter.

Yes, it's that simple!

After all, at the end of the day, it's you living in your mind. So, do what makes you feel content.

Keep it simple!

"The world is not a place for the weak."
How many times have we heard this and act accordingly?

Time and again, we have been told to control our emotions and most of us have perceived it in a way where we ignored and buried them. For a lot of people, emotions are vulnerabilities. Till a certain point, even I thought so. But here's the difference, our emotions, our vulnerabilities, our imperfections make us human.

Think about it this way, we usually connect with people who we feel are as human as us. For example, they also make mistakes, show emotions or have vulnerabilities. We connect on a emotional level with them.

But the same reliability won't happen with someone who is completely defensive and comes out as the perfect being. You know why we won't relate with such people?

Because perfection is a mirage. It's an illusion. You can be fascinated by an illusion, but you will never relate to it or create a healthy relationship with it.

Everyone has issues in their lives in some way or the other. Vulnerabilities make us real, they allow us to bond.

In a world of fake, be real. In the mirage of perfection, flaunt your vulnerabilities.

I was always a suffer in silence.
On very rare occasions, would I actually speak up. And most of these occasions would be when I'm extremely angry or can't hold it inside anymore.

It helped to an extent, to avoid those emotions, to let them bury. Eventually, they would come out in someway or the other and it would be toxic.

What's worse is, sometimes it would come out in ways that would hurt myself or a person who wasn't even responsible in the first place.

Staying silent was a solution that worked for me over the years no matter how temporary they were. Until recently I found out, a better remedy..

I'm fortunate enough to have a person who understands, even my silence. She knows when I'm hurting inside and would compel me to speak up even though it might get ugly, but I would say it out.

The result? Well, saying it out will not let me drown in my own storm of emotions.
A lot of times, I felt I'm overdramatic or too sensitive, but they are emotions and she taught me, emotions are meant to be dealt with.

Let it out in any way you want. Don't be a prisoner of your own suffering. Let yourself be free of it. Don't find someone who just listens, find someone who understands.

Deep down, we all wanted a break from our mundane life. But never even in my wildest dreams, did I think that this is how it will be.

2020 was like a roller coaster.. and it's just 5 months! January and February were pretty much like one of the best start to a year, I ever had. But then, it all went down so quickly that I didn't even have time to comprehend.

Now, I have time yet not the motivation. I have tried to be productive but all I do is delay it. Weird thing is, finally I have time to read all my favourite books, to finish those long awaited series, yet here I'm.

Come to think of it, I guess a lot of us are like this. Thinkers!
It's been over a month since I went out of my house, quite literally. Has life really been that bad? No. Infact, with all the things going around the world, I'm a part of that privilege society which hasn't really suffered.

Lucky! And when I started writing this.. I thought i will write about the lessons life gave but my thoughts wandered around,
Maybe because it's something that I can't physically.

What's the meaning of this? Nothing really, it's just a writer putting out his thoughts, telling you, it's okay to not be okay!

Take care.

Past few months were surreal.
They taught us so much
More about life than
our mundane lives ever did.

-

And just like that,
From the rulers of the earth,
Humans went to being the survivors.

-

Keep it simple,
You go,
I go!

-

Page by page,
Life reveals
The mysteries.

-

I hope it's not..
But with everything happening,
It feels like the end of the world.

But I wanted to tell you,
Even if this the end...
I'm glad I found you.

I thought that life was unfair,
And maybe it is, but
What we have and
the moments we had,
are enough to let me be in peace
with the present.

The mighty America, the invincible China and all the developed nations have crumbled infront of a virus.
Sadly, all their money and nuclear power could not save the thousands of lives which the novel virus took.

While the whole global economy is collapsing,
Trillions of dollars of business is affected,
Pollution levels, be it water or air, is slowly reducing.

All of these points us to what is really important,
Ofcourse money and power are crucial,
But more than that, we need to stop
Screwing up with the nature.
Because no matter how developed we become,
nature will always be a step ahead.

We need to comprehend this,
Science is meant to be the ally of nature
into leading a better life.
Not it's enemy which works towards eradicating it.
Let's understand this, we are a part of nature,
not above it or else this is how we will pay the price.
