If you treat the world like a buffet, you'll always be hungry.

And there I was, suddenly burning in flames.

Flames so loud that even water became one with them.

The heat I felt was unlike any other, probably because the one who ignited it had a familiar look.

A few minutes in, and my heart started to heat up, so I closed my eyes in despair, thinking it was the end, and guess what? It was. As agonizing as the fire felt, it scorched my uncertainty and clutter.

The new flames came up, covering my chest, and in no time I was entirely veiled within them; they were brighter and more devastating, and yet they felt like they were building me.

I smeared the fire on my melting skin and used it to step out, and as I turned around to look back, a sudden moment of epiphany arrived, making me realize that there was nothing there to begin with; it was just an illusion so that the former me could die and be replaced with something more resilient.

Your mind creates illusions all the time; some have a purpose.

आज कई दिनों बाद उसकी आवाज सुनने का मन कर रहा था,

फिर याद आया की चुप वो अपनी मर्जी से हुआ है।

The very definition of life is to break your notions, and it will eventually happen.
But yeah, make sure it's the notions that you give room to break, not the principles.

I don't know if the world has stopped or I haven't just begun.

All the genocides sound like a movie, unless they're right at your door and you just happen to be the latest addition to the script.

I think I've figured out the exact definition
of a toxic family member.

They make you feel paralyzed; they know there are certain boundaries you cannot cross; they know there are certain words you cannot say when it comes to family. They take advantage of this privilege and exploit it as much as they can. That's the reason you'll find people who are decent when it comes to talking to people outside of their family, but the versions of them that their family witnesses are also unbelievable at the same time. I think this is what the practical aspect of "multiple faces" looks like.

Because of your impulsive temperament,
if your parents are hesitant to discuss
any of their issues with you, then, dear, you have completely failed as a child.
