A Journey To Remember

-


A Sunday afternoon. Ria was at home doing what people do on a typical Sunday. Nothing.

We like Sundays. However, we can never decide about what to do on Sundays. There is so much to do and still, there is nothing. 


As Ria sat back, thinking about what she could do with her day, she recalled all that she wanted time for. Completing her office assignment? But the deadline is next Monday. Why the hurry? Going out shopping and buying the dress that she wanted to. Oh, it was too expensive. What about the closet that needed cleaning? "Ugh... that one thing! Maybe sometime later?"


As she navigated through the various tasks that could be done, or rather that could be put off for good, her phone rang. It was an old school friend calling her almost two years later. Good! “Finally something to do”, she thought.


As she chatted on with her friend, she learned that things weren't the way they were when they were in school. As the once soft-spoken friend of hers, Tina, spoke to her, Ria realized that Tina had changed.


There was a change in her voice. It wasn't just time that changed her voice. Happiness, sorrows, struggles, ease, problems, solutions, wins, losses. One could hear it all. The more Tina spoke about things she experienced down these years, the greater Ria felt the need to speak more often to her.


How often do people stop, look back at the beautiful journey they have had, the people who stayed and left and the things that have changed?


We live in a world where things change rapidly, thanks to the major technology that surrounds us. However, the only thing that stands out are the people who affect you.

“People”, who can be parents, teachers, friends, or sometimes even strangers who bring changes in your mind, if not your life. Look back at your journey till now for a moment.



Thank everyone who changed your life to be what it is today. Love your life, and love yourself for the life that you have been defining until now.

Keep Smiling! 😊

For All That Matters

Puzzle pieces It's amazing how time has its ways of making us go through so many moments. The beautiful ones, the strange ones, the scaring ones, the ones that break us, and also the ones where we don't know what's going on. Add all these and that's our lives. It's also amazing how so many of those moments make us a different person. Is it for the good or bad? Well, doesn't it depend on how we decide to work with it? For a moment, let yourself to think. Is it not strange that it's not only the good moments bring the best out of us, but the bad ones might make us know more about ourselves by making us hit the rock bottom? Is it not strange that it's not the bad moments alone that can pull us down, but the over-the-top feelings we have after a good moment, the arrogance after a victory, the over-confidence after a success? Really strange it is. On further thoughts, I realise that it has to do with me, and not the good and the bad momen...

The Trail Of Thoughts: From Your Jealousy To My Strength

The human brain is so complex. How do all of us have the same structure of brains but still think so diversely? The same brain structures, and yet I might absolutely like something but someone else can hate it! A Portrait Of A Head Of A Human Being The human brain is the centre of all human emotions. Basic information. You know, just in case you thought it's the heart. All those emotions of happiness and sadness, and anger and hate and love, jealousy. It's all in your brain. While I name jealousy beside every other feeling, there's something interesting. This feeling of jealousy isn't a distinct feeling. Jealousy can actually encompass every emotion. What emotions you ask? Happiness, sadness, anger, hate, love, disappointment, self-loathing, and what not? You might feel happy doing something you love , and that might induce jealousy in me. This will make me hate you. Whenever you will try interacting with me politely, it may lead to scenarios...

3 Truths We Absolutely Need To Know

Flowers Aren't Always Glossy, Just Like Some Truths Having spent nineteen years on this planet that we call home, I won't really say that this duration is enough to take a jibe at the processes of life, however much I might feel compelled to do that. I mean that is kind-of my coping mechanism. Still. I cannot really try preaching what “I think” life has in store for any of us. For the simple reason of not having enough knowledge about it. However, being the super-intelligent person that I think I am, I can list down three truths which you might want to know, much better said, you have to know. So here is the list! 1. What happens when you try pleasing everyone? You lose yourself. Why is such an obvious thing here? Because people do not understand the vicious cycle they are getting themselves into once they try meeting those demands. What vicious cycle? Suppose you have a friend you love immensely. It turns out that they don...
