How Do You Measure The Weight Of Gestures?

Hellooooo, people. First of all, I'M LATE!  sowwie, even if you don't mind me being late 'cause I was super stressed for n number of reasons, had six consecutive nights of nightmares followed by the worst set of exams I've ever taken, which was followed by physical illness; and all of this alongside handling some other issues Let me tell you what just happened first. That's the motivation for today's topic. I came to the library today a little before time and I was like ' wow, I'm so early '. The temperature which was above the forties for days, it came down to thirty. I got a seat on the bus and the guard uncles -- one at the main gate and the other at the library entry -- talked to me; which is rare for me . So, all good, right? this has been the only best for a few days I entered the library. The person who sits there said just wait a few minutes, it's not nine yet. I started to turn when the sweeper uncle said, is it time yet? -- pointing tow...

Are We Trapped By Our Minds?

Hellooooo, people. "When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not." ~ Richard Kadrey,  Aloha from Hell   First of all, how much beauty people put in their sentences is one of the things I can't stop appreciating.  look at this quote, damn Let's talk about this quote. There are a lot of ways people grasp a certain line. I'll tell you mine for this one. What I thought of after reading this quote is: When we're in a terrible situation, we tend to stop looking the other way around. If your house is burning, what are you supposed to do? Look for how to extinguish the fire, maybe. Or run for the exit. Or if the door is closed, try to break it. Or if it doesn't get opened still, call out for help through the window. You can think of ten more solutions in this moment. But, when we would actually be in a burning house, we would run out of options. We don't have as many solutions in that moment as we would have r...

Why Am I Not Doing What I Want To?

Hellooooo, people. Have you ever said that you'd exercise and you just have to start it this Monday but Friday comes and you're like: Next Monday, for sure? Have you been in a situation where you know it in your heart that if you don't do this particular thing for atleast two hours a day, it's gonna create a lot of mess in near future? But, you still don't seem to take out those two hours, even when you're not so busy? Do you have anything in your mind right now that you know you should have been doing for these many days but you just ain't? A possible answer? Your reason isn't strong enough to lit a fire inside you. This is one of those few write-ups which got its title before I said Hello. That's rare. As always, I thought I didn't have anything to write on but as usual, I realised I had a lot and I just couldn't pick one. Because of that and a few other reasons, I was delaying this write-up but apparently my image of being consistent with ...

Let Me Answer A Few Questions

Hellooooo, people. I've been searching for a topic to write on, for more than two days. I thought I didn't have it until now. What happened now? I just realised I didn't have one topic to write on; I had many. i myself didn't know this yet I've so much in myself right now that I could pour it out in ten different write-ups and I'd still have a lot to say. from here, this write-up has gone in so many directions but i backspaced every single time and this is the only thing i wanna say right now I'm scared of pouring it all out. Things I've in me right now either bleed out of my wounds or mess me up inside even more. I ain't ready to do either. I've had a lot of realisations lately and I'm just so scared of my own damn self. I'm craving for all the things no one should be craving for. Really.  i mean that "should" a lil' too much This write-up is going to be a question answer session. I've received a lot of questions so, he...

How Does It Feel To Be An Empath?

Hellooooo, people. I've been wanting to bleed my heart out in poetry and as usual, I've been resisting. Because dark poetries and I are a deadly combination that the universe wouldn't be able to grasp. So I resist. blame it on universe 'cause why not? Today's write up is important. Not so much for you, unless empathy means something to you. This write-up is an attempt from my side to make you understand what an empath like me feels like. Emotion researchers generally define empathy as the ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling. Difference between sympathy and empathy? Google says, "Sympathy involves understanding from your own perspective. Empathy involves putting yourself in the other person's shoes and understanding WHY they may have these particular feelings." In my words, if someone is telling you about their heart-shattering due to some xyz reason, then if y...

After All, Life Is Fair Or Unfair?

Hellooooo, people. Today’s topic is difficult. Difficult is an understatement; it’s heart-wrenching. First of all, I've got a complaint to whoever makes decisions for all of us, who has the control of things for which we say "it wasn’t in our hands", who decides who lives & who dies and to whoever is responsible for what wasn’t supposed to happen; not to that specific person. My complaint can be summed up in just one question: Why is it so unfair? All of this? To the person who asked me to write upon this: here, i put your exact words you said when you asked me to write upon this topic; ‘cause these texts were so full of feelings that it rang my heart the way a hammer rings a bell. The echoes of your words are still surrounding me and the feelings in your words reached me.   A lot of people might feel that nobody can understand what they’re feeling when they hear about someone’s death. To all those people, I do. I feel you all. I’m an empath to an extreme level, of c...

Is It Love Or Attachment?

"Maybe the problem with love these days is that someone says they love you, and you just wonder how long for." ~ J.L. Johnson Hellooooo, people.  I especially collected a few quotes for this write-up today. Because  gawd  today's topic is the question that has hit all of us at some point and quotes misguide you if you don't get them well. Not just quotes, any words can create chaos inside you if you don't understand them; be it the words of authors, your lover, your enemy or even a stranger. Haven't we all asked or been asked these questions? Is It Love? Or Just An Infatuation? An Attachment? Or The Beginning Of Meeting Your Soulmate? Before answering, let's just talk about why do we even question this? Why can't we just be in that love or attraction or whatever it is? Because experiences, darling. You don't want to get hurt. You just want to be cautious about where are you giving your time and if it's right to prioritize them over the things w...
