Thoughts

  1. Books smell like love floating in a cup of coffee, sprinkled with nostalgia for the yet unknown.  2. They smell like a well-earned for solitude, far away from noise of the world.  3. They smell like the sea, at whose shore you've wanted to become invisible for a while.  4. Books smell like the rain, mixed with the earth, that turns mortals into poets.  5. Books smell like a baby, freshly bathed, sleeping with eyes closed and mouth open.  6. Books smell like hugs from your best friend without ever asking for it.  7. Books smell like freshly baked cake, cooked without a recipe.  8. Books smell like the aroma of the curry prepared by your mother as you return home from hostel.  9. Books smell like the imperfect me, and the imperfect you, curled up in bed with messy hair and puffy eyes.  So go on, breathe in. 📚 

          We  need to be more aware of our reflex reactions as well as how we would like to respond to people and situations. We all need to be honest about how we feel and our way of thinking. The reason why we are not honest is because  we do not want to be judged,  we do not want to be vulnerable, we do not want to ask for or take help, we do not want to get stuck or trapped, and so many other reasons.           Here is something to try this week though. Ask yourself what do I feel about this situation or about what this person has said or done. Whatever your response, note it down on your phone. At the end of 7 days read all that you have written and answer these 2 questions: - what have I learnt about myself? - what do I need to change?           Learn to respond appropriately instead of reacting impulsively. Also, it usually is not as much about what you say, but rather how you...

                      Always be a first-rate version of yourself, rather than a second-rate version of someone else.           It is an interesting phenomenon that we as humans tend to compare ourselves against others’ accomplishments and feel that we have to in some way ‘compete’ with them in order to be a ‘good’ person. The winner is honored, the losers forgotten. Well, we might try to be as assertive as another person, so we can come across as being confident and assured. Unfortunately, if we move outside our comfort zone without a support mechanism behind us, we naturally fall back into that zone, as we feel safe there.           By all means take note of how successful people have achieved that success. But make them applicable to your own persona, build confidence from building your own foundations and create situations where you have the natural ability to...

               We see people smiling on social media all the time and posting stuff about their achievements and accomplishments. People rarely post photos of their red puffy eyes because they were up all night crying. People don’t talk about the nights they spent up late studying so they can pull their grades up. People barely talk about how hard it is to live on your own in a different country without your family. People post pictures of their food but don’t feel comfortable telling others about how they struggled to get money to buy that food. People share photos of their significant other but does not mention how long it took for them to get over the last person they were with. People talk about having awesome friends but they don’t talk about that childhood best friend that back-stabbed them.                 People attend weddings of others all dressed up when their own marriages are fall...

There are some obligations that can not be abandoned in the mind no matter what the problem ... If you lose someone you want because of your weakness or something ... If you can stop your heart for him .. You can live looking at him from a distance. No matter who you stay with .... if you can't change your mind, that's true love! There are miserable times in life .... if you can't avoid them you will be punished someday .... somehow. Forget miserable times, gladly accept punishment. Grow for him, live for him, even if you don't get him, you can make up your mind and close your eyes freely .. Though there were mistakes, then I thought I lived for him in the right way. ⁇  

      The people who are with us today will disappear tomorrow ...     It's lost, either because he's lost you halfway, because of someone else's gossip, or because he's gone away from this world forever.     No matter how that separation happens, we grieve more than the grief of not having him ...     When the memories of his time as well as the things that were left to be done with him in the future come to mind again and again ...,     Some separations are very reasonable ... But many separations are very unfair ...! In any case, the love that is stored in the heart will not die, that is, the one who is gone and the one who is waiting ...!
