I like to read my old journals. I learn more than I think myself to be. Because the time I write is different from the time I read it. It could be months or years, and mostly I forget what I have once written in months. And I finally realize how I change through a month/year just by leaping through pages of the journal I kept. SO here is the start of the 2015's. It consists of just one entry, because I am too lazy this year to write something up everyday, and I figured, I am in short of a diary. Reading today this put a smile in my face and I've realized how ridiculous I am/used to be. :

Don't touch your hair.
A mental note to myself because I touch my hair, significantly. Soft, rough, edgy or whatever condition it's in, I just touch it to feel like I'm a female with hair unlike Miley Cyrus. But the problem is, many times, I end up pulling my hair out in a painless repeated motion for which I feel guilty afterwards. And horrified because I don't have much hair on me as I should at my age.I envy gorgeous hair. They make me hate myself, I feel ugly and insecure and concerned that my hairs are falling off. Look at that. I nearly covered half page of my new journal talking about hair. Applaud me on that.
It rained today. That might be the cliched thing to say. I hate this thing I am writing on by the way. I hate how this looks more like a phone book. I hate how short it is to cover the whole year. Also I hate spiral things.They're easy to rip off. I can rip off the page where I talked about hair and my habit of touching it.By any chance will you, yes you there reading this crap,will you excuse my handwriting? I know that's a shitty font for a 19 year old but what the hell. Don't judge a journal by its handwriting. Yeah I totally made that up.

I am not aggressive as you think maybe reading this. Oh so you judged me? Okay. I take criticism pretty well. But I'm not aggressive, trust me on that.People say, I can be overly sweet and annoying sometimes. Here's the thing. I'm not confident as I am in writing. I'm vulnerable in talking with people.I suck as a conversation starter. There's an infinite list of things I suck at. But I think I am a good person in a sense that I don't hurt people. Like I don't murder them.

I'm a good girl in a sense that I don't sleep around with my boyfriend, the fact that I don't have any. And that I am respectful of my culture, though not deliberately. I'm as pure as flower. Meaning that I'm a 19 year old virgin with no guy friend. Doesn't that make me one hell of a good girl?
Talking to strangers is nerve-wrecking, talking to guys outside your family circle is much more nerve-wrecking.There.My real reason for not having a boyfriend when most of the girls my age do. And side but not least among the reason is that I'm not pretty. I mean I can be pretty gorgeous wearing make up and make sexy poses in selfies but god. I'm not pretty! The conclusion. The maiden fact; I'm not pretty.

I'm a good girl because I haven't been caught watching porn. I don't even like porn. In fact I get offended by it. But I watch it when I am bored and when I have access to it. I am a teenage girl with Wifi.You tell me.

Conversations thrill me. But I don't engage myself much in that activity. I could be a good listener than of a talker. And I'd feel awkward most of the time. So. yeah. I am delicate, easily embarrassed and I could be a pain in the ass if you don't handle me right. Learned something about me now? Okay. Good.

 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.
