Things that make you go hmmm

“I think it’s so important to have a ‘nature’ calendar in your head, like a way of tracking time that’s completely separate from anything work or obligation related, not holidays or anything stressful. For instance, I look forward to august because at 8pm every night house finches hang around my window for a few weeks. In the Spring, I love waiting for the magnolias to blossom. Just ways of…

“Meaningful and deep relationships require difficult conversations. often unpleasant conversations about how we can improve and how we can be better friends, siblings or partners to the people around us. special bonds aren’t entirely made of good moments, but the moments that were hard and yet you still made it through because you care about the other person.”

Voice

“It occurs to me as I fight so hard with myself that these cruel and persistent voices are the echoes of trauma from the times when people treated me like I am now treating myself. And that, perhaps, it is possible to close an inner door and shut out voices that are not mine. In the last light of a long day, I sit on a chair on my porch and watch the sky drain colors down and out and I realize I…

Objection

“Love has been so deeply commodified that we can’t understand anymore what it is beyond flat lists of ‘what we are looking for’ on another person–’handsome’ ‘smart’ ‘good sense of humor.’ We think, well, we find an object we are looking for, we buy it. We find a person who meets these qualifications, there! We will make them ‘ours.’ The end. Surface qualities have literally nothing to do with…

Stardust

Funny how we believe in aliens but struggle to believe in ourselves. Like how funny it is that we can imagine life on distant planets, but will doubt our own dreams here on Earth. How selectively imaginative we are! 😂 I mean, I get it: the idea of wild forms of life existing on the surface of a celestial body, light years away, is fascinating!! But what about the undiscovered wild forms of…

I think

Perfectionism is an act of emotional self-harm. It says:“If you don’t accomplish this perfectly,You are not worthy of love, respect, or your dreams.” It leaves you no room to learn from your mistakesbecause it immediately makes failure mean evidence of your unworthiness. But being able to extract wisdom from mistakesis a crucial step on any road that leads to betterment &…

Things that make you go hmm

“I think part of the issue is people assuming that everyone MUST want to move upwards. Like… it’s the next logical step for a person to want to move up the chain: from worker to manager, to district manager, eventually owner. But I always think of growth like plants. Aspens grow tall to reach the sun, for sure. But dandelions grow deep, understanding themselves fully so that if some misguided…

The Sky

Me – Hey are you okay?Him – I think I am.Me – Call me up whenever you feel like alright?? I am right here for you.He smiled and said “thank you? I guess?”I gave him a hug before I left “Take care.”Little did I know that souls like these never call. They’ll not let you feel about that thunderstorm which goes inside them, they talk about stars and winds, but you don’t see them talking about how it…

The reason of my Absence

The reason of my Absence

My teen brother is going through this adult thing and showing me how hard it is to parent a child. This is why I’ve been absent from my own feed as of late. My intention for this month was to bring you a post a day on grief, as I was using the month of December to honor what, for me at least, is the most sacred of our emotions. But then few things happened. Which ultimately brought me closer…

Therapies aren't a joke!

Therapies aren’t a joke!

It’s been three years since I’m taking therapy and honestly that led me to be more of myself. I was diagnosed with Pyschosomatic weakness at the age of 15 due to experiencing extremely traumatic event. Some of the snippets I would like to share for those who’s going through something they don’t want to talk about. I know we heal out of it eventually but the pain remains unattended. For those who…

Pages

Pages of the past,these pages, they talk,they talk to you, and they talk to me,while they tell you about the old times,you, cherish that piping hot coffee of yours,and all of a sudden their voices?they seem to turn into a noise,and in a while, before you and I realizeit just fades.Well, why would we want to talk of those burnt bridges when we have got a whole world of ours,a world of vacuum,…

Something I learned this year- Don’t fall out of love with yourself just to make other people believe you are falling in love with them.

There’s this thing with books, that they just make you feel like you’re in a different world altogether.A place where perfection and flaws are entangled together like strands of saffron, Carrying an essence of life and tranquility.Where reality and tales are just like the same things, Just in a parallel universe.A world of chaos, that carries peace.

Part of me

in the end,does it even matter?These voids, we talk about,they’re us too,a part of you, a part of me.but you see, it’s just the dilemma of being lost,and holding on to yourself,but makes it all so contrasting yet so alike,just like the dusk and dawn.all that i am here to say,is we’ve got today,and what could be more beautiful?where the demons of past don’t know you,the dreams of future await…
