Acceptance

What is it that our heart really wants?

⠀

Three things—recognition, appreciation and above everything, reciprocation.

⠀

If you always felt out of place, no matter what you did for them, then maybe it was never really your place to be. If you always felt lonely, no matter how many times you were there for them, then maybe they never really needed you. If you always felt unappreciated, no matter how much you appreciated them, then maybe they didn’t deserve it after all.

⠀

If you wonder how people forget emotional relationships so thoughtlessly, if you wonder how they get rid of habits so easily, if you wonder how effortlessly they let go of you while you were still putting in your best efforts to make them stay, if you wonder how it’s so easy for them and the toughest job for you—I feel you and you’re not alone.

⠀

I know it’s hard to accept that they didn’t feel the same for you. I know it’s hard to stop caring when all you did was care, but you need to understand that the world has too many selfish people for you to behave so selflessly for.

⠀

Think about what you did for them and not what they didn’t do for you. Pick yourself up and pat yourself for being the bigger person. If they want to go, let them go, they probably never wanted to stay in the first place. And, as for you, don’t lose yourself in the quest to find someone else. If your God knows what you’ve done, you’ll get what you deserve.

Quarantine Days

From our morning newspaper to our domestic help, from amusement parks to movie theatres and malls, from public transport to air travel—LITERALLY everything has come to a standstill. I really haven’t experienced anything crazier than this in the history of my entire life so far and I’m sure even you never saw a catastrophe like this coming your way.  We almost never knew that life could look like this too. I mean us millennials not knowing when we’ll get to go out next is absolutely devastating. But, you know what else is devastating? The world falling apart.  We’re smart, educated individuals. We are probably not looking at the reality of things as clearly as our parents want us to, but we’re definitely doing the world a favour by staying home. I understand that waking up to another godforsaken news every morning is just a major buzzkill (as if life isn’t already a HUGE buzzkill in itself, but okay), in fact I myself wake up to a major commotion induced by the sounds of...

The Power of Karma

We all believe in the power of Karma because we’ve all somehow experienced it ourselves or watched it happen to someone else. We’re all flawed and we’ve all made certain choices that we’re not very proud of. We’re all responsible for our own actions but Karma is responsible for how we’re treated for them. The thing about Karma is that you never realise when it’s about to come for you.  Karma is the universe’s mechanism to punish or reward you for your deeds. Karma waits for none, but comes for everyone.  My idea is to link Karma with whatever that your mind is feeling bothered about. If you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve for that friend of yours who doesn’t bother to even check up on you, leave it to Karma. If you’re struggling to feel a moment of love from the person who doesn’t value you enough, leave it to Karma. If you’re being bullied and bothered by something that someone did to you, leave it to Karma. Trust it’s power and let it do what it wants to. Remember how w...
