The days keep repeating themselves. The hope that breathes in the morning vanishes somewhere in the dark of the night. Life feels heavy when emotional thoughts start circling inside the mind with no way out. It seems the life that only appears in dreams wants to stay in the dreams. Stubborn life! The mountain of
You see her rage, but I see her pain. You ask, “What’s wrong with her?” and I could give you a thousand reasons, but I say, “Nothing,” because it’s not something you can sum up in a few words. It’s not about today. It’s not about yesterday. It’s the weight of years—years filled with pain,

They don’t call you often. They’re busy, not just with work but with everything else. They have people who need them, tasks that demand their effort, families and responsibilities. Some days, they barely have time to breathe. But when they do come up for air, they call you. You talk for an hour, sometimes more.
There will always be some difference between you and them, no matter what they do. They might copy your style, chase the same dreams, or try to make you feel small. But they can’t take away what’s your – your strengths, your abilities, your way of seeing the world. You were built differently, and that’s
You search the world, both near and far,Yet who you are is your brightest star.No love is greater, no touch more true,Then the one that starts and ends with you.Embrace your flaws, let kindness bloom,A light within to chase the gloom.For when you love yourself, you’ll find,The peace you seek, both heart and mind.So hold

It’s not the sadness that hurts; it’s the shift. That sudden drop from happiness into sadness, the moment when the bubble of illusion bursts and you hit the ground of reality. Happiness is an illusion. It feels sweet, comforting, and eternal until you try to hold it. Then it slips through your fingers like air.

Years later, I find myself thinking about that well, the one where I was stuck for a while in my life. I didn’t climb into it willingly, but one day, I just found myself there. At first, I was terrified of the darkness. No matter which way I turned, after a few steps, my hands

The outer world feels like a dream—blurry, distant, untouchable. The vehicles rushing down the roads, the people hurrying past, even the still buildings seem unreal, as if I’ll wake up at any moment and they’ll dissolve before my eyes. Only when someone’s gaze meets mine do I remember that I exist—that they see me just
You fall in love when you have faith in someone, when you believe they’ll catch you. And when they do, it doesn’t hurt. Falling in love never hurts. But when they don’t… It hurts so deeply that you start fearing the fall itself. Read this next: My Heart Aches for You
Remember when you were happy? Everything in your life was going well. You never thought your life could turn upside down, ending up here. When everything was great, you didn’t give much thought to people, relationships, decisions, or beliefs. But now that you’re not as happy as you were, all you can do is think.
I know it’s almost impossible for someone to fall in love with the way I think instead of the way I look. It’s almost impossible for someone to wait patiently until I feel safe enough to open up. It’s almost impossible for someone to reach beyond the walls I’ve built around my heart. And yes,
On a sad summer night, beneath the moon’s soft glow, Something stirs within, a feeling hard to outgrow. In my chest, a heaviness, like a burden I bear, It weighs me down, fills the warm night air. Tears trickle down, in the quiet of the night, Each drop a silent echo of my inner fight.
In my mind, memories gather like a cloud, And happiness falls gently, like rain, not too loud. Each memory a treasure, amidst the crowd, In my brain, they float, in a joyous shroud. Laughter and smiles, in every drop contained, Moments of joy, in my thoughts, they’re ingrained. They shimmer softly, as if they’ve been
Mastering the art of being unbothered takes patience, practice, and self-awareness. It protects your peace and helps you function better in daily life. It’s easy to get caught up in things that don’t matter both from the world around you and from your own mind. These distractions don’t just hurt your work; they drain your
That moment comes in your life when the realisation of being alone hits you. A realisation that even though there are many people around, no one can take your place in your life. No one can live it on your behalf. At first, that realisation makes you feel lonely, and that loneliness scares you. All
Time never stops surprising me with how quietly it slips away. Another year has ended, 2023 is over, and it’s time to say goodbye. This year taught me a lot. It was a mixture of everything joy and struggle, peace and chaos, laughter and lessons. It added something valuable to my life. I experienced, I
Eureka – yu·ray·kaa – a cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something. The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you.

I know things are tough right now. The thought of giving up might be whispering in your mind, but don’t. You’ve been working hard for a long time, and it’s frustrating not to see progress. I get it. But this is the time when patience matters most. This is when you need to hold on
Take a moment, every now and then, to sit quietly and reflect on your life. Think about the things and people that drain your energy and consume your time. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realised just how valuable these two things truly are — time and energy. They deserve to be handled with care. When
Eureka – yu·ray·kaa – a cry of joy or satisfaction when one finds or discovers something. This feels magical when we read something exactly that we feel or think.

My heart aches whenever I think about you. It feels like watching a ship sink in the ocean, and I’m standing helplessly on the shore. My mind runs in every direction, trying to find a way to make your life a little less painful. I want to do something for you, anything, even the smallest
We all wait for that one day — the day when everything will finally fall into place, when life will be calm, peaceful, and perfect. But honestly, I don’t think that day will ever come. A normal life is never free from chaos. It’s a mix of good and bad moments, highs and lows, smiles
Dear Me, Oh, it was always you. The first person I ever fell in love with was you. So today, on the special day of our birthday, I want to take a moment to express my love and gratitude for you. You have been with me since the beginning, through all the ups and downs,
Adaptability is something we should all learn in life, because life is full of uncertainties. The truth is, it’s a roller coaster with ups and downs. Sometimes things go great, other times we struggle. Many of us try to keep life consistent, but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. The important
This year has been good, not because everything went according to plan, but because I learned a lot. I learned to accept and appreciate unexpected changes. I learned to trust the universe’s timing and to go with the flow of life. I focused on finding inner stability and became a little more self-aware. I accomplished
Life isn’t perfect yet, or maybe not the way I once imagined it, but it’s definitely better than before. This peaceful silence feels like heaven. Maybe I haven’t gained much, but I’ve removed a lot of toxicity and negativity from my life. I feel safe, protected, and rooted in the present moment. I forgive and
This month, I don’t have anything special to share with you. The writer in me — I talked to her. Asked if she had something for this month’s post. At first, she didn’t reply. Then, finally, she said she couldn’t write anything right now. The reason? Weird, but not surprising. You know, I’ve known her
For a long time now, I’ve been hearing noises — noises of half-gone people. It’s like they’re not here anymore, yet their echoes remain their voices, their habits, their memories scattered around me like footprints that never fade. I let them go. Yes, I did. I don’t want them back; there’s no space for them
You keep reminding yourself of what you need to forget. It’s like scratching an old wound — feeling the pain over and over again. How will you ever heal that way? Healing takes time, not repetition. It needs silence, not self-blame. You need to stop reopening what’s already trying to close. Give yourself time. Give
I think you’re stuck somewhere between the past and the present, between imagination and reality. Maybe you’re stuck in that song, or at that familiar street corner, or in the flavour of that old ice cream. But I want to remind you of something you probably already know: people change over time, and so do
Sometimes I want to make silly mistakes that lead to big problems. Sometimes I just want to sit back and watch my own world fall apart. I want to be the one who cries first when something goes wrong. I want to demand, complain, and blame people. I want to be the innocent victim of
The peace of my life is precious to me. It gives me the energy to focus, to function, and to live clearly. I can’t allow negativity or toxicity into my space because when I drain my energy on useless things, I lose focus on what truly matters. So whenever something or someone tries to disturb
I have two pieces of news for you — one bad, one good. The bad news: there’s only one real problem in your life, the root of them all, you. The good news: there’s also only one solution, and it’s you. You own your life. Maybe you’ve forgotten that while sharing it with others. Maybe

It’s a beautiful, cloudy morning. It’s only 5:45 a.m., and we’re already on our way to coaching class. We laugh at our stupid jokes, trying to catch up with each other’s cycles. This is my favourite time of the day—a quiet road, soft air, and my best friend, Noor, beside me. We play silly games
About Time The scariest thing about time is that this moment will pass and never come back again. If there’s anything we humans fear losing, it’s those things we can never get back—and time is one of them. Every moment is precious. Once this moment passes, it’s gone forever. So don’t live stuck in the
इंसान की जिंदगी में प्यार, रेगिस्तान में पानी के भ्रम सा होता है। प्यार की प्यास उसे जिंदगी के एक पड़ाव से दूसरे पड़ाव तक ले जाती है और जिंदगी के अन्त में जब सब साथ छोड़ देते हैं तो उसका यह भ्रम भी टुट जाता है। Also read this: जीवन की सीख

If you don’t know something or don’t know how to do something, that’s okay. You don’t need to worry, and you don’t need to feel shy about it. The world is huge, and no one can know everything. We all know that no one is perfect. Almost everything we do in life is learned. But
About a month ago, I wrote a post about Instagram. Today, it’s WordPress’s turn. So, one fine toxic day, a bang-bang question popped into my head: “If my blog has over 650 followers, why do my posts get less than half that number in likes?” Curious (and slightly suspicious), I opened my list of followers
“How did you become so fearless?” “Do you have a vase? Imagine you do — an antique one. Beautiful. Expensive. You love it, but over time, you grow bored with it.

The people who left you left because they didn’t want to stay. If they wanted to, they would have tried. They would have fought for you. But they didn’t. They left because they no longer love you. But that doesn’t mean they never did. So let them go. Because if you still want them back,
It’s okay. It’s okay if you don’t feel okay. It’s okay if you want to let go of control — over everything, over everyone. It’s okay if you don’t feel like talking to anyone today. You have every right to follow your heart. You have every right to feel what you feel. Not every day

I’m writing this at the age of 21, and I’m happy to say this out loud. When we’re born, we have two kinds of relationships. The first are blood relations—the people connected to us by birth. The second are the ones we create as we grow. Every relationship matters, especially when we’re still learning about
This is for those who want to move on but still carry the weight of hard feelings inside them. These feelings toward you have stayed with me for too long. Sometimes, it feels like a heavy stone pressed on my chest. And now I understand — as long as I hold on to any kind
It feels like you’re trapped in a dark room with no way out. You keep knocking on the same door, even though it may never open. You don’t look around, where another way might exist. Hopeless. Helpless. Restless. You’re broken, and you have your reasons. The meaning of life slips away. Sleepless nights, hopeless days—they
I’m crying… crying hard. I’ve broken everything in my room. I shout, I scream, and I don’t even know why. In anger, I slam my hand against the wall. For a second, the pain in my hand feels stronger than the pain in my heart. And then… I just get tired. “So, Kanak, how are
Everyone dies one day—it’s the one universal truth. I’m not afraid of death itself. What scares me most is what ends with it. My family. My friends. The dreams I shared with them. Everything disappears with my last breath. I will never see them again. Sometimes I wonder why people seek death. It’s terrible. I
It feels like I’m writing after years, and in a way, I am. The last time I updated my blog was in January, and since then, life just… happened. Exams kept me busy for four months. And when they finally ended, something else began, something I wasn’t ready for. My bade papa, my father’s elder
I want to breathe, but I can’t. It feels like I’m underwater, deep under the sea. I try to go up, but something pushes me down. Everything blurs, and I stop trying to save myself. My mind goes numb. I want to take breaths… maybe the last ones. It feels like everything is ending. I
Once again, I felt your hand on my body. Once again, I felt death. I want to cry. I want to shout. And this time, I worked hard to do it. But your hand stopped me. Held me down. Silenced me. I feel helpless. I feel worse. I still remember, very clearly — when you

We are all human. We have our own minds and our own hearts, so we have our own dreams too. It is a tradition of our world that when we want something on our own terms, people laugh at us. They make our dreams look childish and impractical—their questions seed doubts in us. Sometimes situations
