It’s okay.

Hey, its okay.

These two words are so powerful that they make everything better for me. It’s okay for everything basically, every mistake, every emotion, every small thing. It’s okay if a mistake is made; you don’t need to put pressure on yourself. It’s very common to fear that everything will now be over after making a mistake. But that’s not like it; nobody is perfect, however experienced one is, mistakes are inevitable. Reassurance is so important, and nobody does it; it’s you who has to do it for yourself. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. Everything in the end works out perfectly because a mistake doesn’t mean everything is lost or finished. I tell myself this sentence so many times, and it definitely gives me the courage to handle it smoothly without compromising my mental health. Nothing is ever bigger than my mental health, and I need to protect it. Mistakes are inevitable, but how we handle them is crucial. It comes with time, where we get used to knowing how to correct it. It’s okay for literally everything; we as humans are meant to live a life that we enjoy. Putting pressure on mental health will do nothing good except that it will make everything worse. Take time, look at how the mistake can be fixed and just go with the flow. It’s going to be alright, every situation passes away, and we know we can handle it. Just don’t make a huge deal out of it, understand it and then smoothly work through it. Tell yourself it’s okay, everything is going to be fine. Life is like that; moments pass away, and we learn how to live through them. So whatever is happening in your life, I hope it’s all good, but if you are unable to express yourself. I am here telling you that it’s okay, everything happens for a reason, just be brave, have courage, and everything will be okay.

You’re not always fine, and that’s okay.

You are what you believe yourself to be!

No one’s going to believe in you until you start believing in yourself, and showing it.

I was always made to believe that I can do nothing right, and confidence is something that is inherited from childhood. I was the child who knew everything, but because of my lack of confidence, I couldn’t answer. And that made me doubt myself a lot, like most of my teenage years, I have spent doubting myself. When I think about those times, I don’t feel bad about myself because I made myself think in that way more than other people around me. And now I know that how I will make myself believe is the way for everything. Doubt is always going to be there, but there are two choices I have: one to let it go before I am afraid, and another one is to do it irrespective of the fear. It’s actually tough to choose the former one, even though it seems easy, but it also gives rise to a lot of insecurities. The latter one is challenging, however, at least we will move and see what we like. Many people used to say that you should stand in front of the mirror and say things you always wanted to hear, so you can build your confidence. And it is true because this is how you make yourself believe how much you can do. In the world, many people will say behave in a certain way, do this, that, and so much. However, remember you only do what you really want. You make yourself believe that you are incredibly capable of doing anything you want when you put your mind to it. I have personally seen a change in myself when I brought myself into the limelight and understood I am capable of so many things; it is a barrier that I created in my childhood that didn’t allow me to breathe. If you continue to think badly about yourself, keep yourself in a negative light, nothing good is going to come out, and you will always feel like you are failing in everything. Because you have kept that viewpoint about yourself. We do a lot to look good in others’ eyes, even if that means sacrificing ourselves. Make your viewpoint positive and good, and that will make all the difference. You are capable of a lot of things because you are what you believe yourself to be!

Embrace uncertainty with confidence in your potential.

Here’s to everything better.

The best is going on and the better is coming. – MA

The first post of 2026 is here on the third day of the year. Yes, this is 2026, and we are 26 years in the 21st century, crazy isn’t it? 2025 was the year of growth and unexpected things, and I hope that 2026 will be the same. What I think is way better is to not keep expectations and go with the flow, which makes everything better. I think in my life everything happened so fast because I never kept any expectations and went with the flow, which, by the way, was not intentional. I wasn’t able to find what I really like and what I want to do with my life. Now I want to do everything that I possibly can. What I learned is that every opportunity is a new learning and beginning that I would not like to give up. I want to remind myself that there are endless opportunities in the world for me, and I would like to experience each one of them. It’s hard to think about it; however, I feel like I underestimate myself now, and I don’t want to. I want to grow, I want to learn new things, I want to explore, I want to experience as many things as I want, I just don’t want to be stopped. That’s my motto for life. I think it’s time for us to reflect on how much we have accomplished, how much better we have become at things, how much courage we have, how much we have underestimated ourselves, and how much we deserve to love ourselves. If there are many situations in life where we feel like we are failing, it’s okay to remember that there are also many positive moments. Whenever I feel down, I remember how much I have fought and how much I have done. So it’s okay, take the time and everything will get better, and it does. So here’s to everything better, everything bigger, and everything happier.

As long as you’re trying to do better, better is going to come.

I’m so proud of me & you.

You’re awesome and I’m proud of you.

The official last post of 2025, and it lands exactly on my post day. This year was everything for me; it was hectic but amazing. Now I can proudly say that the person I was at the beginning of the year and now are totally different. I am now proud and strong. This year taught me a lot of things, like no challenge is as hard as how I make it in my mind. I can do a lot of things if I want to, and I did. Definitely, I am really happy how the year is ending. However, many moments really showed me the worst; yet, I feel that I learned and grew a lot. Everyone’s journey is different for you; the year might be different; however, remember you still made it, so be proud of it. Always be grateful for what you have in the end, because it is always more than we think. When I look back on my year, it was a rollercoaster with so many things happening. Sometimes it made me want to leave everything, while at times, I was grateful for those things. I would like to dedicate this blog post to you all. I want to show that it’s totally okay if not everything went the right way. You survived the year, and now it is time to buckle up and live the next year. I am proud of you for every single thing. You worked hard, you showed up, you believed in yourself, and there is so much waiting for you. We need to start appreciating ourselves a lot and stop criticising ourselves for mistakes. No one is perfect, but everyone is trying their best. You are trying your best, you are making sure that at the end you see the result you always wanted. And you don’t realise, but in doing so, you are also getting stronger to handle every situation. So before the year’s end, remember all the moments where you have tried your best, where you stopped yourself from giving up, and where you stood still even when the world feels heavy. May the coming year fill you with everything that you ever desire.

I’m growing into someone I’m proud of.

My annual list of things I learned is back again. It felt like just yesterday, I uploaded my 2024 one, and now here I am with another one.

Another perspective of time!

Time really has a way of showing us what really matters.

This thought came when I was talking to my colleague, who has been working for a long time, and realised that time is different for everyone. When I am starting something new and fresh, others have been dealing with it for a long time. Where I have been learning now, they have already learned their lessons a long time ago. I was in awe seeing that one day I will be there too, maybe assisting my juniors and reminiscing about my past or how I started my journey. I love talking to people and knowing how they started and what they felt, and how they are feeling now. Time is such a funny thing; the second as time passes, everything becomes past, and we are moving forward. I feel like I started way too late, maybe because when I look at others who have spent so much time in one place, it makes me think, Will I be able to do that. Time really teaches us to grow and expand in a lot of ways. As we move forward, we encounter various perspectives on time. We see ourselves grow, learn new things, acquire experiences, age, and change physically and emotionally. Amidst this, we learn to love ourselves. When I look at myself now, I can hardly believe I am the same awkward person I was as a child. However, I’ve since taken on tasks that I never imagined I could accomplish, because everything seemed daunting at the time, but now it no longer scares me. Time changes everything; it makes things better as well as we see the worst of everything, but it also heals. I am someone who needs time to calm myself down, to heal myself and to let myself know that everything is going to be fine. I love to absorb things around me so much and think about how different it would be 10 years ago and how different it will be after 10 years. It amazes me to see what things time brings with itself, as well as some that have stayed frozen.

Time takes us where we need to be

Somethings are worth waiting for!

There is a seat waiting for you at tables you haven’t even seen.

When we get something after doing hard work, we actually feel satisfied and take it very seriously. I do believe that satisfaction after achieving something in life comes with a lot of patience. Sometimes life tests our patience and makes us work hard for it, but after getting it, we do feel satisfied. When I talk about myself, I was a very introverted child with no passion or interest. But now I look at myself, I am doing so well and all by myself. I definitely worked really hard to get here, and it was worth waiting for. It is so important in life to be grateful for things that we already have or for the things we are achieving. I always wanted to do things that bring me happiness from inside, and I think it is taking time. Obviously, because it is something I have been manifesting for a long time. It is also said that beautiful things take time, as it makes us feel that the efforts we have put in are worth every minute. For every single thing, there is a wait in life. Nothing comes without waiting. And I try to be grateful for the same, that at least I have the opportunity to at least try something, and maybe it will work out. While writing this post, an image is made in my mind of how it feels when we achieve something that we have been desiring for a long time. And after achieving it, everything around us gets blurred, and we get numbed. I feel like this feeling is rare, and it comes after waiting for something really worthy. I would always say that Universal has a better plan than we do; we just need to have patience and believe. The more I have grown, the more I believe in the plan and time of the universe. If it’s right, it’s going to happen no matter what, and I think this has helped me be strong mentally. So don’t worry, everything is going to be worth a while.

Every wait, has a worth.

Balance

In between goals is a thing called life.

That has to be lived and enjoyed.

Recently, I have been so busy with my life, and honestly, it’s not the worst, as I am still trying to find the balance between my work and life. It’s all about priorities, as I talked before, I know I want to get these things done in a day, and I can, as they are all my priorities. When people used to talk about the importance of maintaining a work-life balance, I now understand it. According to me, the balance is maintained when I have two peaceful hours to watch a movie without rushing to finish it. It is important that I give myself the time to sleep peacefully and eat without rushing because health matters the most. I feel like how you make and spend your time matters the most. There is a lot of time, but only when we know how to use it properly. That’s what I am learning. If I look at my day, it’s hectic, but all my tasks are completed without rushing. And I also know sometimes I will be in a rush, but that’s okay, I know I am going to handle it. When I think about life, I think about how all humans have to work just to survive and live in this world. It’s crazy thinking that we don’t live for free but pay with everything, including our mental health. A few years ago, I was dealing with the worst balance in my life. As I wanted things to be done without caring about my mental health as well as my physical health, and at first I didn’t realise how much I was suffering. But later, everything went downhill, and it is also so hard to get back in shape, especially if you are mentally drained. That’s how I was, and I am sure most were in this situation and probably still are. But let me tell you something that I personally learned: everything that goes will return, but you can’t say the same things about health, especially mental. So, like I understood that it’s okay if we take a break, nothing major is going to happen, and if it happens, let it happen. What matters the most is our health, and that’s all. So if you are struggling a lot with not knowing how to balance, just leave everything for some time and find the peace that your mind needs.

My well-being is just as important as my work.

Start of something…

It is okay to be scared. Being scared means you are about to do something really, really brave.

The start of something is always scary, no matter how professional you are. Because it comes with a lot of new things like people, surroundings, objectives, goals, and expectations. I recently started something new, and to be honest, I didn’t really know how I was feeling, but I do know that I will be able to do justice. Well, now I can only say that it is inevitable to make mistakes and that’s totally okay. How are you going to do better if you won’t make mistakes and correct them better the next time? You need to start somewhere to reach somewhere; that’s the mindset I keep. I used to believe everything was scary and still believe it, but learning new things begins with mistakes. And it’s okay, I think we were never really told that everyone makes mistakes in the beginning, and that’s how they learn. When I talk about my experience, everything in my life happened so fast that sometimes I need to snap back and realise how fast I have come. Every now and then, I am starting something new or looking to start, and there is always a thought of what if I am not able to do it. But that’s something that will always come, no matter how much experience I have. And I need to start somewhere so that I know what I want in my life. Life is all about experiences, so for that, we need to start somewhere, no matter how scary it is. When we go blind in something, obviously, it’s going to be scary, but here we have to trust our guts, mind, and our capabilities. I know at first everything looks scary, but once I start, I rock it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t make mistakes. It’s impossible to learn something new without making any mistakes. So if you are doubting whether you should start something and feeling really scared, I would say it won’t go away before starting. You need to start, you need to do it, no matter how scary it is at first, everything is scary, but that doesn’t mean you are not able to do it. You can, because you are made for that opportunity as it comes to you. Be strong and do it, regardless of how scary it is.

The scariest moment is always just before you start.

Book Review: An Unwanted Guest by Shari Lapena

I started this book because I saw the review that it was fast-paced and enjoyable. And I am not going to lie, it was indeed enjoyable. And I know this author’s book is always hit or miss. The book follows the story of characters who get a chance to spend their weekend at an amazing inn deep in the woods. All gathered, excited to spend the weekend; however, suddenly everything went downhill when one of the characters was found to be dead, and soon others followed. The chaos began when a heavy blizzard strangled them, and maybe the killer is among them.

The plot was nice, but I felt that something was missing. I wanted more, and I kind of guessed what the plot twist would be. The book was definitely thrilling as bodies were randomly found around the house. The setting was good too, with an ice storm covering the entire inn, and the inside was all old, like a cosy cottage. The book begins slowly, and I was not having it, but it did pick up its pace.

I liked the plot as it was from twist to twist, especially the last revelation that happened, and I definitely found it over the top, but I think with the story, it went well.

The characters are the main part of the story. I doubted everyone because all of them were unhinged and extremely creepy. I mean, it won’t be a thriller if characters aren’t unhinged. The way all have something to hide or have done something extreme in the past was great to read.

Would I recommend it? Only if you want something quick to read, but nothing over the top. It’s a good book, but not something I would go all over for.

Rating: 3/5
