Pursuing education funded by parents, then going against them and eloping after watching an unrealistic Bollywood movie. Letting them face insult and backlash at that age. Making them spend lavishly on a wedding just to live out a bollywood dream. Then, after being ditched, returning years later and leaving the burden of their kids on parents and a sibling, all in the name of 'family.' When they grow old, claiming to be busy raising their kids.
This is a whole new level of selfishness people rarely talk about. Love isn’t the problem—being completely unthoughtful and irresponsible is. Sometimes, parents are just too naive to understand how they are used conveniently their whole life just because someone fell in love with the feeling of being loved.-
Someone who left you was not your enemy, since it was not a war. Keeping bitterness in mind for so long only restricts your possibility to grow. Once the healing phase is over and mistakes are realized, close that chapter and strive to evolve into a better human being. Don't stalk. Don't look back. Don't bother them.
Your arguments, sides and expectations were valid, and so were theirs. Life is long, and love comes in a different form at a different stage of life, which should be the reason for you to stop making it a big issue to seek emotional attention.-
If you avoid responsibilities, they will come back to haunt you sooner or later. It's better to prepare to be responsible as early as possible, so that you can become a source of hope for your loved ones rather than a burden. If your parents, spouse, or children don't see you as their hope, there's nothing to be proud of. The same applies to them as well—one pessimistic person with a victim mentality in the household can ruin things for the entire family.

Teenagers and young adults in their 20s who have never been abroad often share excitedly how leaving their home country would change their lives forever. But who’s going to tell them that the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence? Yes, there will be a sense of achievement, pride, and satisfaction—but also moments of discrimination, loneliness, regret, and emotional breakdowns.
Running away in desperate search of something better often leads to the realization that a perfect place doesn’t exist anywhere. Every place has its own good and bad aspects, and learning to accept both is important to avoid getting disheartened.

Ironically, when you're humble around people who lack self-awareness, they behave as if you have no idea what they're bad at, and in turn, go on making you feel lesser.

When we think that the problem is too big and nothing can be done about it, it often turns out to be bigger in our head than it is in reality.

When we are hopeless, no one will approach us for anything. Some people deliberately choose to be unreliable, not realizing how powerful strong references can be if they become reliable enough to be considered worth talking to. Where money fails to reach, references do. Your network should mostly consist of useful and responsible individuals—not the hopeless ones wasting time at stalls all day, bragging and flexing.

Entry-level jobs or labour work abroad act like a drug that helps educated immigrants feel better, just because they can save more than what they'd save in their home country. Everything is felt great until years pass and the career gap widens. The market value of the job is something that's neglected too. A return ticket after that for any sudden reason can be very costly.
It's awful not to become financially stable till a certain age, but it's even more awful remaining a fresher with no professional experience and skills.

A person you come across may be extremely good-looking or have a great personality, but after talking to them, it just doesn't click. The energy doesn't match, nor is the vibe. We connect with people based on certain common grounds, and the chemistry that develops isn't the same with everyone.
Whether we are perceived as exciting or boring depends on the kind of individuals we connect with. If the vibe matches and it turns into a great friendship, you can't ask for anything better than that.-
While getting tempted to wear fashionable and short clothes, many individuals overlook the need of having a well-shaped physique. Confidence is great, but modern, form-fitting clothes can look awful on an untoned body. Certain clothes look great in pictures only because models wearing them chose to work on their physique rather than loving themselves the way they were.
