Feeling Lonely? It’s time for some introspection

 It’s not for the first time that I have gotten aware of this dreadful word ‘Loneliness’. It has been a part of me since ages. How? I really don’t know!

The only thing which has happened now is that I have accepted it and that is why it has become my best companion I never had!

All my life, I kept looking for freedom, love and attention outside of me, because my inner self was too occupied with lack of self worth and lack of confidence.

I had in me, this very small part of self worth somewhere, which occasionally used to come out when I performed on stage, especially during my school days.

Ironically we are surrounded by so many people in our lives, but we are still unable to express ourselves fully to others, Why is that so?

Because honestly, we all somewhat lack the ability to understand ourselves, if someone knows who they are, they just don’t care what others think of them.

Isn’t it too much to think about? It is, indeed!

Loneliness is increasing in this world, last year it was reported that it has somehow become the global epidemic, why am I not surprised?

What I believe is Instead of becoming a victim of anything or anyone most importantly our past; we must stop, and question ourselves that what exactly is causing this feeling within us? What is it trying to tell us?

In my case, it compelled me to essentially stop for a while and rethink and get reborn. It propelled me to stop escaping from my void and reopen my wounds to let it heal properly.

This uneasy feeling which we feel at some point of our lives is actually a calling if we truly understand it. This call is asking us to spend some time alone with ourselves to introspect and to come in terms with our fears and failures.

Obtaining solitude and embracing it completely is just like achieving the biggest milestone in our lives.

A total bliss!

To be able to become comfortable with our core personality and willingness to face all our pains and groans in order to get back up is a remarkable triumph.

Loneliness is not lethal unless and until we change how we perceive it. We should consider it as an opportunity to turn it into reinventing ourselves, to completely transform into someone we imagined and even beyond that and to create a path of our own rather than succumbing to mediocrity and living this life just for the survival.

My loneliness is actually my wakeup call! It’s time we must answer this call and accept it wholeheartedly as only this is truly our best companion in every which way.

Chasing Love or chasing what you love?

I call myself a nomad; a wanderer, I am mostly living in my imaginary world, the outside events just keep happening around me, and I most often tend to get succumb to those,  I feel such experiences over powers me into becoming this peculiar personality who is lost in her own world; aloof and not surrounded by the crowd. But when I sit with myself and ask what is that I truly desire, the only answer that follows is love! In search of which I’m running around like a maniac. But what kind of love and why love ? The basis of such un heard of mind-set develops since childhood and then it grows with external experiences, however the internal chemistry remains essentially unchanged no matter what happens around you. Life is always going to be unpredictable and challenging, what makes you, YOU! Shouldn’t change, one can evolve and learn but your core remains unaffected. Every time I end up chasing it I question myself why? You don’t need to run after it, it’s within you. It’s ...

Do the Dishes to dis the Discomfort!

As tongue twisting as it sounds, dish washing is genuinely like that job which you hate doing, but have to get succumb to it, because you want to eat those scrumptious meals and pickles and all those greasy stuff, as many times as you want to, but there isn’t any house help available, especially amidst this lock down. To be truthful, I have my whole family living together, and for us eating is like breathing(Exaggeration!),a lmost every hour every other person is found slurping or gulping something from the kitchen. Moreover, we have our beloved pets living with us,so there are separate set of utensils for them as well. Yes, our kitchen is open 24/7 for every creature, with our sink welcoming dishes like, one of those not so spacious but stuffed buses on the road which we see accommodating, countless passengers, as many as they can load, and even then, there is plenty of space left on the top, so they fill that area too, and if that is also occupied then we can see peopl...

Self Discovery: is it important?

  Seldom have we found ourselves in the midst of monotony, only if we stop and question our state of mind from time to time! What is it which keeps us going? Is it our goals? Fear of unknown? Or is it our liabilities? In order to survive we do need to pay our bills, however to be able to cater our emotions we must understand the why of our existence. What make us unique from everyone else around us are our individual experiences and our response to those obstacles or opportunities which we face along our journey. Our intellect is the supreme entity but for it to function on an optimal level we must bestow it with a map which will ultimately provide us with various strategies to navigate our lives according to our priorities. From where will we find that map? Through our knowledge, experiences, the people we meet, the kind of principle with which we lead our lives. Life becomes droning, because we have hemmed in ourselves from exploring the plethora of knowledge, dif...
