Put aside your feelings.

Is that what an emotionally intelligent person would do?

I remember catching my eye on a line Budha once said- happiness or sorrow whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached. But is that even possible for a human being just have no care in the world?

Living in a world that is inter-connected, you cannot stay aloof. Everything that's happening you share with other person. That person becomes your company. You write your own story. It is not valued until shared with another person.

I think the only problem with us is that- we create memories. A past. It replays all the moments, and all the left out feelings. Emotions. And everything. We cannot forget, we cannot let go.
We are stuck in our body. Stuck is the word, yes to have it purely defined. Our soul wants what it wants. Even when you convince your mind, this is what you wanted, you cannot convince your soul to be happy. You're stuck between dilemmas.

So choose. And be picky. Investing on emotions is a great deal of effort. It comes with consequences and a memory that grows with you. Invest seeing the profit, the time within, without. It's all about strategy I tell you.

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.
 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.

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...
