Unwinding Heart

Hellooooo, people. "He who fears he shall suffer, already suffers from what he fears." ~Michel De Montaigne I especially sat down to find this quote to put here because I had a moment yesterday where I felt this. I remember reading a lot of quotes, watching scenes, images from my imagination while reading novels and glances of flashbacks of the people I've had encounters with.  you might too, a few if not a lot One of the most mesmerising things about art -- writings, plays, poems, stories, movies, series, music and so on -- is that when you don't find the words to express what you're feeling, you subconsciously -- or intentionally -- go to art.  You turn to art and put your finger on things which feel similar to your emotions to say ' this is what I want to express. ' I asked a few people to give me their views on this quote and damn, they had nothing . I was looking forward to pick out examples which match to the ones I had in my mind. But I did get some...

Hellooooo, people. shower of balloons Happy One Year Anniversary of the blogs at Unwinding Heart. yayyyyy Today is the date I posted the first blog last year. OMG, the whole year, I've done this.

One! shower of colorful glittery paper pieces Today, we're going to talk about- drum-rolls , please? Anniversaries. Anniversary is the word that stirs so many feelings in us.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
