Happiness is...taking a break


Stay Happy. Stay satisfied. Stay cool. 
These are easy to say, and tough to be. I really can't remember, the last time when i was fully happy, or smiling or laughing like crazy. I mean seriously, did i stop for a moment and looked back to see how i was holding up with my life? Did i take a moment to feel what i was actually feeling? No. Some how i just skipped the emotional part and continued with the practical. Some how being happy became the least thing i wanted to have in my way towards life. But is it that simple? Leading life without preferring yourself a bit? I think that we all should just stop jostling and getting lost in this worldly life. Just take a moment, see what you've been through and appreciate what you've got. Good or Bad.
Wishing and Dreaming- these two are unlimited. Dreaming is good. But sometimes we dream so much that we forget the reality. Then it comes- Depression. Sadness of not getting what we fantasized of. But because of the ugly reality we can't just stick to our fantasies, or dreams or wishes. We should have the courage to dream and to face reality in both hands. It is what it is, depending on how you see it. Expectations should be in your limits, so that you can easily attach it to the reality. If you can't make it, just give it time. time heals everything. Sometimes in this buzzing life, all you need is just a break from everything, and only you own it, no one else. Then everything seems so better, the pain heals itself, and the problems start to sorting out. 
I know, we are humans. We can't be fully satisfied but what we can do is to have patience and inner strength. Life is a gift. It's in our hands. It is us, who can decide whether to be happy or waste it in depressions. We can wrap it in rainbows, we can color it. We are that much powerful! So why not be happy? :D

“Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” 


Can we just halt a sec. and review all the good moments we had with our friends,families and loved ones? It can really be refreshing. Having all the flashbacks of good times. Life is not that bad, is it? 
“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by 

smiles, not tears.” 

Do we need any particular reason to stay happy, satisfied? We are gifted a life from god, we have a beautiful earth having trees and oxygen so we can breath, we have families, we have loved ones, we have pets, we can go window shopping, (do i need any money for that?!), everything that we needed. Life could be worse. I could be born as a cockroach and could be bitten dozen of times by sandals, gross! So lucky that i'm a human. I can lead my life in my own rules. That is happiness. That is my satisfaction. Tell you what this can't get any better. I'm good with this "boring and not so special" kinda life. And i can try my best to put all the little things together to be a happy teen. :)

spring is almost here

Hi B,  Season is changing. The hard days are almost over.  The city I live in has turned so beautiful, I get overwhelmed by the beauty.  Tulips are in. Cherry blossoms are blossoming.  Magnolia, Beautiful white flowers, name unknown to me.  Taking a walk out feels like a celebration of life.  It feels like I'm falling in love with the city.  I remember when I first moved here 2 years ago, the excitement and the crippling anxiety of starting a new life from scratch. Now, after 2 years, I feel a warmth and love for the place.  I don't know if I would feel the same when the winter comes though. Seasonal depression is no joke.  My new mantra for life now is to chill.  Praise the nature and find pretty little corners in the city.  Write poems.  Paint, maybe.  Seek positivity.  Love. Be kind to self. No rush. Read books. Just flow.

long distance again

 I came back from my trip. It was amazing 2 weeks of my life. Seeing him again after so long felt strange yet peaceful. I finally got to be in his arms again. 2 weeks flew by and now I am back home and back to work and normal hustle and bustle of life.  He got an extension offer and decided to stay for another 3 months. It is sad because he was supposed to be back next month. He asked me if he should take it and despite having my heart aching I supported him in the decision. It is not confirmed yet but he probably be staying another 3. Another 5 months of long distance. How am I going to survive the winter by myself? I don't know. Honestly, in my heart, I don't care about how much compensation he be getting. I miss him so much and this long distance thing is killing me inside. Today is Friday night and instead of cuddles and movie, I am home alone. No plans to look forward. No one to talk to. I am the loneliest girl on earth right now. He is probably sleeping and not picking u...

winter together

 Dear B,  Sorry I've been so MIA. Here's the update you missed - My husband came back! He wasn't approved for those 3 months of extension. I've been getting enough cuddles and kisses to survive this winter.  Yes, winter is here. Never underestimate the Canadian winter. It's the worst. Everything is grey and dark. However, I am looking forward to going home in March. I'm so excited to see my friends again. Most importantly my parents and brother. It feels a strange kind of feeling. I am planning to 'visit' the place I was born and call home. It is definitely a new kind of feeling.  Things been okay. We are okay. I am glad to have him back.  We bought a new couch and a coffee table. It's still in back order and I'm impatiently waiting for them to arrive.  Can't believe only 4 days left to 2026. Time is flying so quick. Hope we talk again, B. I swear I missed you!
