Wondering where you've stumbled?

I've been blogging here since 2015. A place where I let go of my thoughts. A place where I do not overthink and just let it all out. I've been documenting my journey from when I was an anxious teenager to trying to become a confident adult, comfortable in her skin with every day that goes by.

I hope something here resonates with you, your old self.. or the one you're becoming :)

Thanks for dropping by!

Are you the most beautiful girl in your batch? Are you the coolest one in your pack? Are you the most intelligent one amongst your friends?

Do you have a fair skin? Do you have gorgeous eyes? Or hair? Do you have that perfectly toned body structure? Do you have an irresistible personality? Are you that pretty girl who makes heads turn? Do you have that pompous sense of dressing up and looking damn cool, trendy and captivating?

You're lucky if you're one of the above mentioned people. I won't say beauty is nothing. We all know that you beautiful people are the first ones to get attention wherever you go, right? Yes, beauty matters. You manage to make good first impression basically without even having done anything, but out of the sheer luck that you're born with these physical traits. You get noticed just because of your pretty faces and personalities that other not-so-good-looking people have to struggle for. Less than average people are really unfortunate in this regard and you're the lucky one. :)

Okay, so here are a few questions that I'd like to see if you can answer ~

  • Can you name a short girl/boy from your class who was extremely polite?
  • A dark-skinned girl/boy who was very soft spoken?
  • A nerd who always seemed very arrogant but helped you quite a few times with some difficult topic?
  • An overweight classmate who was really very creative and talented when it came to making projects and decorating the class on special occasions?
  • A silent girl/boy from your classroom who had a very good taste in music or knew how to play a musical instrument very well?
  • A fair and alluring girl/boy who always cared enough to pass a smile whenever you accidentally had an eye-contact?

Last one was a bit difficult, right?

I hate to say this but generally beautiful looking people have an arrogant and mean attitude towards other not-so-good-looking people. If you're blessed with something good naturally and you appreciate your beauty, don't have a haughty attitude towards those who aren't born with what you are and have some respect for their natural charm as well!

Sure, you're getting all the attention and enjoying it. But this attention might mislead you to think that you're the best and the most fortunate one to have been blessed with amazing looks. Because, guess what? Every town has people like you. The most beautiful people from every town are just like you. And very soon when you'll leave this town and move to bigger and better cities, you'll meet them. There'll be plenty who'll have exactly what you have and maybe even better than what you have. You'll be nothing but another person from the best crowd over there trying to make an identity of your own. Yes, you'll have to struggle hard over there to even get noticed.


Maybe you'll manage to impress people in those big cities too. You'll enjoy being the most perfect girl/boy who's appreciated for everything. But this won't last long if you're not good from the inside-out. You know, it's not always the way a person looks that matters. Specially if you want people who are keepers. You have to have a good heart and attitude for that. 

The less than average people have always fought hard to get noticed, not on the basis of what they don't have, but on the basis of what they have developed in them. A good heart. And this is what actually matters in the real world out there. And I can tell you, these people will not have much trouble adjusting with new places and people in life, but will lead a very successful and happy life.

If you don't leave this haughtiness soon, you'll have serious issues in future with everything and every place you go! So drop this on-top-of-the-world handicap and learn something from the people you've always made fun of.

Dont LOOK Beautiful. BE Beautiful.

Governments that only care about their reputation will come and go, but Suzette's no more..


Our society needed a strong woman like her. I can't even imagine how she managed to handle this unfortunate incident. But how she chose to retaliate is sure an inspiration.

How would you define this video?


I don't know the story behind this, but i would describe it as an unhealthy relationship. 

 

If we consider them as a couple, they seem like two people in a cage constantly battling each other, who can but do not make any effort to escape it. It's exactly what happens in relationships where couples are totally dependent on each other. They cannot stay joyously with each other but are too afraid to let go because they've never thought of separation as a happy possibility. Even if one makes attempt, the other would not let go. Thus they're left in cages forever that they build for themselves. 
These kind of unhealthy relationships are often the of result of people's own insecurities. When people start considering themselves failed personalities and become completely dependent on somebody else for all their psychological and emotional needs, they cannot let that person go even when it's harmful for both of them to stay together. It's not right to drag back a person when you know you yourself are not growing as an individual.
Relationships are meant for two people to stay happy together. If there's no happiness, what's the point of the relationship in the first place? Being in a relationship should in no way hinder individual growth. After all, if individuals won't grow, how would the relationship grow? If things become stagnant, one can never see himself/herself happy in the long run. Soon he/she will get sick even at the sight of the other but would not want them to go.

It destroys two lives forever. There is no happy ending in such relationships. There is no ending at all. They are just stuck together in these undesirable situations where it is difficult to even bear each other. It's not called love when you cannot let a person go. It just suggests that you need that person to fulfill your psychological needs. You cannot destroy another person's life because of your own issues. In the end, either one of them would manage to gather strength and run away, or they'll both stay caged forever.

PS: This is not the original message of the video, just my personal interpretation.
