Unwinding Heart

Hellooooo, people. It's been a lil' longer than I thought it'd take to write. Sometimes, things don't go as you think they would. okay okay, most of the time And, sometimes, you just can't take your mind off particular things. Recently, I'd given an interview and I had mentioned there about me writing blogs. At some point of time, they asked me about my blogs. When I was done introducing it, they went like, "Tell us more." And that was the moment I framed my intention of writing into words. Do you see that line just below Unwinding Heart? "A process to sort myself out publically and yet in the most intimate way." That has been the only description I've thought of, ever. When I answered in the interview, I realised that the purpose has slightly moved from sorting myself to giving people different points of view on topics. But recently, I've not been my best at the consistency of my blogs. And that's because the process of sorting m...

Hellooooo, people. It has been an adventure for the last few months and omg, the level of fun, nervousness, fear, pain, happiness and numerous other feelings was insane. "A library is never complete. That's the joy of it. We are always seeking one more book to add to our collection." ~ Catherynne M. Valente This quote feels like it's not just about the library. It's about us too. Think about it, are you complete? What would you need to be complete? And then, imagine yourself at that stage, are you sure you'll then think you're complete? Whenever I have a topic to write on, I gather all the feelings associated with it and the pile never feels complete. The way you feel "One more chapter" for an interesting novel, "One more episode" for a series you're watching and "five more minutes" for a conversation with your favourite person; the same way, I feel for the topic I am on: "One more thought" or "one more pers...

Hellooooo, people. This is going to be one of those write-ups where I know what to write (finally, after what feels like ages) but don't have any idea about the ending. Most of my thoughts have been incomplete lately -- some because I couldn't get an end to and some because escape through the mid-way seemed a better way than to reach the end . So, before it's too late, I gotta write something about whether I've got an end in my mind or not. So, here we go. The topic I've on my mind right now is: Is it just me or are we 'all' stuck? I don't know if this is happening to most of us or just me, but hear me out. See if you relate to this.  Almost everyone around me seems either busy or upset. The busy doesn't mean they're working too hard but just that they ain't getting anything done. The upset doesn't mean something went down for them and they're upset but that they ain't in the right vibe 'cause a lot of things are just not goin...

Hellooooo, people. "You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in." ~Nick Hornby This quote, gawd! I've got a lot to say today so put out a strong quote which conveys some of my feelings already. In one of my write-ups exactly an year ago, I wrote about how our hearts are covered with blankets under which we've got a lot of things buried. I mentioned a quote saying how there's always something unspoken between two people and I had stated under it, that, it's not just between people; but between us and our hearts too. Today's write-up is going to be about uncovering the blankets, even if it's a thin layer. In that write-up, I mentioned I'm gonna go gather some courage to do that and after exactly an year, I'm here to tell you that I did gather it. I did pick up a co...

Hellooooo, people. Today's write-up is going to be about decisions. Of all kinds: easy, tough, sweet, rough, hard, entangled, nice, compelled. Although this write-up is about all types of decisions and the whole spectrum of love as well, I'm going to frame it around two decisions that people make. you've lived a life so you don't need to be told every possible example; you're smart enough First, when someone tells the other person that they want to be with them -- in a relationship, in an FWB thing, in a partnership or simply wanna grow old with them. And, second, when they tell their so-and-so that they can't be with them anymore -- because they don't want to or for some other xyz reason. "To love someone is firstly to confess: I'm prepared to be devastated by you." ~Billy-Ray Belcourt, A History Of My Brief Body When you confess your love to someone, you're also giving them the chance to hurt you. Fortunately or unfortunately, you can...

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...
