Let’s see. How was my day.

It was pretty much like the other ones. All boring and sleepy. College days. Always have something to do with sleeping on desk and daydreaming while the lectures are on. The weather was really hot and sweaty the day. But now it’s drizzling.

I was reading some book with short stories, various English writers during the class periods. And there was a story named “Big blonde” all about some stupid blondes having mid-life crisis. And there was this lady called Mrs. Morse who  attempted suicide of no big reason. She was hardly sober the day, and swallowed a bunch of tablets, to make peace with herself. I couldn’t get any sense out of it. I borrowed the book from the college library, which I regret now. No good stories in it. I chose it with so much expectations, I bunked a whole class to find something readable. Now that I found it, it bored me already. My brother’s also reading this book of short stories, no offense to the English authors of this book though. I told him how amazing Rabindranath Tagore’s short stories are. Those stories create an atmosphere, you can never get distracted from it until you finish it. And those endings are way better than any happy endings. They make you feel something. Like arts.

I actually blame myself for knowing so little of English literature. I think there’s millions and billions good stories out there. I have read the fault in our stars, looking for Alaska all by john green. He seems to have some obsession knowledge over afterlife and oblivion. The diary of Anne Frank inspired me the most. I’m not a book worm kinda girl, read a few. I Swag.

 Some thoughts. Our old generation glorified selfless acts to the point that they started calling putting themselves first as: 'selfish.'  To a certain period of time, I have also followed this pattern.  I thought taking care of me is selfish.  Where taking care of me is fundamental.  You cannot pour out of a cup, which is empty.  So pour yourself first.   I have to unlearn so many of these toxic patterns because these have made my life only miserable and problematic. I am learning that evolving is crucial for living with inner peace.  These days, I value so much about inner peace.  I'll choose it over others anytime, and it is not selfish. It is in fact for greater good.

An origin story

Dear Blog. Thank you for giving me space to write. Although in this world, where cloud technology prevails, there is no worrying about it. But hey,I, thank you for storing my thoughts. Stupid, meaningless thoughts. I assure you, I will keep coming back. I know since coming home from the residential semester, I've been a bit distracted. I've been posting things, I felt vague about. I used to write things effortlessly. I never forced myself to type up things, experiences or events. All these posts have been posted because they contributed to my daily life and I had to write them up before they slowly fade away from my memory. And some things I didn't make a post about as some things were better to be forgotten and removed from the past. Mind that. Dear Blog, I created you almost four years ago. These four years, I've kept you posted. Maybe some days. I didn't because you know why. Those days I felt blue and couldn't get up from bed. But you learned my stor...

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.
