Winter is almost here. I see insects flying their way to my room at nights and the uncertain urge to turn on and off the fan and covering and uncovering myself with blanket. And acting like a corpse in bed at morning, because of the cozy feeling. Sweet November is here.

Tomorrow is my presentation. I practiced my speech for hours tonight. I know I am still gonna screw up.
This whole weekend, I treated myself like a blunt existence. When I was in car going to a wedding, listening to songs in my earpiece, I told myself how unhappy I am lately. How ungrateful that makes me. I don't know how this started and when this will end. When I am around my cousins, I am this giddy, uncomplicated version of myself, and that goes the same with my friends. But this psycho babble in my mind, I can't stop. I get sad and every aspect of living loses its meaning. I don't wanna die but I don't wanna live either. I don't know how that's possible. If there were any one in the whole world who could understand what I am feeling inside.

I didn't wanna end on a depressing note. There were also times in this week, I made myself watch Indian stand up comedies on youtube at 3 am in the morning and cracked up, I laughed so hard that for a couple of mins there was no trace of sadness in me. I really try to be happy. To wake up in the morning, but it only lasts about 3 or 4 mins. Is this chronic depression? Am I psychologically becoming unfit?

My skin is showing a slow pace of improvement, maybe that's a reason I feel so sad. I don't enjoy looking like a wreck to people. I want to look like I am getting things done.

Pretending to the world you're okay is the easiest thing to do because no one seem to care. Everyone is busy with their own problems and I don't blame them I mean look at me. I don't care how many children in Africa are starving because it never crosses my mind. I have my own fears and anxieties to deal with everyday...

Looking forward scares me everyday. Every sun rise and sun set is the deadline I get. I don't cry now like I used to before, but there's this dark and shady, shallow feeling that never goes out.

I want to be free from it, I really do.

 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.

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.
