Beyond Daydreams

Image
We always imagine something we don’t have in our lives but always forget what we actually have, and here I am, Anjali, again with you.  Today, my blog is kind of inspired by the lives lost through so many incidents nearby. We live in a world where the grass always seems greener on the other side. It’s easy to get caught up in daydreams about the things we don’t have—a better job, a bigger house, more friends, or even just a different life altogether. Social media feeds this longing, showing us curated snapshots of other people’s “perfect” lives, making it harder to appreciate what’s right in front of us. But what if the real treasure isn’t in what we lack but in what we already possess? The Trap of “If Only” Thinking Many of us fall into the habit of “if only” thinking. If only I had more money, if only I looked different, if only my parents understood me better, then I’d be happy. This mindset keeps us in a constant state of dissatisfaction, always reaching for something just ...

You Talk All Pain Like It's Alright

Image
You talk all pain like it’s alright, as if it’s just another chapter in the story, something everyone goes through and moves past. Hey everyone, this is another blog by me, pain is not just a passing moment. It’s the quiet companion that sits with me in the dark, the echo in my mind when the world is silent. Sometimes, I wish people could see how heavy it feels, how it colors everything I do, every word I say, every step I take. They tell me to be strong, to keep smiling, to let things go. “It’s alright,” they say, as if those words could magically heal the cracks inside me. But pain isn’t always loud or dramatic. Sometimes, it’s the silent ache that lingers when the laughter fades, the weight that presses on my chest when I’m alone with my thoughts. It’s the feeling of being misunderstood, of carrying something invisible that no one else seems to notice. “Behind every smile, there’s a story of strength and survival.” Being in experience, I’ve learned to hide my pain behind gentle sm...

Beauty and the Burden

Image
People mentioned having a soft heart is a good thing; this makes you kind every time you behave, which means you care. Most of the world likes soft-hearted people. But they didn't mention that it could hurt you badly as you cannot imagine the world at that moment. A lot. Kindness is great, but when it hurts because you feel everything too much when the friend is crying, you are too; when a stranger is passing in a bad mood, you got it too. When it becomes a burden on your heart that you cannot speak to someone, how badly it hurts that someone's pain is your pain. "The beauty doesn’t come with the sadness but burden does."  I don't know they tried to make me the kind person, but how to turn it off, correct myself that it’s ok if the stranger is said, if they are not in the mood to be good every time. The people also mentioned that being the kind that isn't kind and having a soft heart is good. They told me to be on my own, correct myself in a better mood, and n...

Suddenly, every page is all about you

Image
I wonder why everything changed like a sudden wave. I wonder why, too. I never meant that it would happen anytime soon. I never wanted my thoughts to be more consumed, my days to be clouded, and my nights to be restless without you in my life. But It happened suddenly like something was not in my hands either. It happened so quietly and suddenly that every page was about you before I knew it. You were not in my life for so long; you are not the person I needed when I came to this world, but you are something I need now as my important background genre to listen to. You were just a stranger I was meeting. The day we connected, I could not feel that you would be mine forever for the rest of my life. But then I just woke up, and everything changed. Your voice became the one I always wanted to hear, and your presence is the one I need. You slip into my thoughts whenever I whisper something different, and suddenly, you are everywhere. Every song seemed to remind me of you; every m...

Art of not sharing

Image
It’s another morning with another notification. Every morning, when we woke up, we checked our phones first. Every day, the pressure of sharing has become the addiction of our lives, you're scrolling through the endless stream of updates. Your colleague has a new house, your aunt's dog has a birthday, your coworkers have been updating their travelling routes and you are just standing scrolling through their updates. Very, very publicly.  And before too long, you are adding some of the updates of yourself such as Seasonal fog, and depression that is more crushing throughout existential dread. Without realizing it, we have consumed so much information within the personal in our life before the cup of coffee that starts with the real depression and real life. It is one of the most painful and intense ways for humans. That's not always a good thing. This is constant input and output of the information that effectively shares our lives and that becomes so normalized that we ...

Retirement Seekers

Image
Hey everyone, today I am with the new blog topic, which is very common nowadays, "retirement." The word retirement means getting free, which is highly preferable after 55 to 60 years of age. Nowadays, this word has been flagged by the generation after 2000, which is just 20-25 now.  So, let's start analyzing this deeply by configuring the word and the meaning from within; I have been searching the topic for so many days with the issues of myself, ourselves, life problems, daily suffocating, and many more, which are very common now in the world of rush, competition, money and living a daily life. I learned that today's generation is getting bored of what they are doing very early; in the past, we lived like our mothers and fathers worked for 40-50 years with the same energy. This generation doesn't have the energy to suffer every day with a lower payout. I will discuss the payout matter afterward. First, let's discuss why the generation is getting bored too f...

Collectively Happy

Image
Hey everyone, I am beginning with my latest post, which would be this year's last post for this; I want to share something with this year of completion, I think. There are so many things which are not on our side, or maybe this year would be the crisis for you, but something is still there which would be the trigger for the year 2024. Let's start with my new blog which is Collectively Happy".  Let's start with the introduction first; collectively means 'overall'. Sometimes, people are not happy in their inner bodies, and some people do not show their happiness to the outside world, which could be a crisis for them. There are so many people living their own lives, lies and happiness, which is too little. Everyone wants to do something graceful, luxurious and much more than they have ever done in their whole year.  Every year comes with some serious resolutions, such as Peace of mind, no breakup, no situation ship, no friend's involvement, No social media and...
