Bravery

She was powerful, not because she wasn’t scared but because she went on so strongly, despite the fear.

I always used to think that bravery means not crying, being strong and never overthinking. However, I understood that this is the perception of humans’ means of being brave, and according to me, it’s totally absurd. Being able to not show your emotions is totally inevitable as we are humans, and it’s meant to be there. Emotions are some of the most powerful things to exist in humans that are meant to come out; what we need to understand is how to handle them. At every step, we are afraid because nobody can predict the future, so it’s totally normal to be afraid. However, we begin the journey and move forward with it because of our bravery to just do it. Bravery means being able to do it irrespective of thousands of fears. Bravery means having a breakdown and then showing up just because that’s what you really are. Bravery means being afraid of new things and then taking on the challenges to accomplish them. Bravery doesn’t come from being strong but from being able to handle emotions, create a mindset, trusting your capabilities, challenging your fears and knowing that you will handle everything. Crying was always seen as a sign of weakness, but it’s not absolutely wrong to cry and let our emotions flow. When we accept everything about ourselves and understand it, only then can we love ourselves. Freedom always comes when we face the fear, be brave, just do it. Nobody knows how to do everything at first; we all face the fear, be brave, and slowly learn to do it. The thing that I admire and want is my courage to do things. I was an introverted child with so much fear in myself, and now I have built myself in a way that I do so many things even with fear. I complain, I get afraid, I could feel my hands shaking, and my heart beating fast, and still I do it because I know if I don’t do it now, if I don’t feel the fear, then I won’t be doing it ever. And this scares me the most, that just because I was afraid, I stepped down. So be brave, face the fear and just do it.

Let it be hard.. Let it be scary. And then do it anyway.

The Silence after realising… (Poem)

The silence after realising

That no matter how I try, nothing changes

With so many expectations

Waving on my mind

Aren’t we supposed to live this life?

The silence after realising

That the world is a race

I am always stuck in a maze.

Is it bad to be different from others

Or maybe the world doesn’t appreciate wisdom.

The silence after realising

That life is full of thorns

And I am trying to bloom within like a rose

Red, imperfectly perfect and beautiful within.

The silence after realising

No one is there for you except yourself,

So pick yourself up and be the light that shines through.

The silence after realising

That whatever the world says,

You always follow what your heart whispers!

-wordsbyher

Another day, another poem. I don’t know how I feel about this one. I think I can do better. But anyway, sometimes being flawed is way better and a way of life.

I hope you like it. If you want, you can share your thoughts!

Random Thoughts…

It’s the little things, always.

I am someone who would sit for hours just looking outside and thinking about my life. And this has been happening a lot lately. A thought ran through my mind about how much my life has changed, and for the better. In childhood, I literally wouldn’t have imagined myself being where I am right now. Honestly, I am too grateful to be here and to be able to do things that I imagined myself not being able to. When I think about how fast my life has changed, I still can’t believe it. Doing something that once was impossible feels so great, especially for someone like me who thought that I was not good at anything. When I even read my old blog posts, I can see how much I have grown. Once what I talked about happened, and now what I am talking about, I will come back to read and feel nostalgic about my past. So many random thoughts keep coming into my mind all the time, especially about myself and my growth. I love to think about my life every now and then, and to be honest, it brings me joy thinking about how much I have grown. Definitely, there are many things that I wouldn’t like to have in my life; however, I am grateful for every small thing. It’s always the small things that make me fully happy and grateful. I don’t know why, but I have been noticing small things bring me more joy, maybe because it’s always the same small things that make a huge difference. I always try to do better and better so that my confidence and my courage keep me at ease. These kinds of thoughts come to my mind when I am deeply lost in my thoughts, and I need to jot them down so that I know my feelings. This post is one of them, and I know many more are to come.

for your own peace, let things be.

Live.

It’s the little things, always.

Just live! That’s the best advice I got, actually, I understood it by myself. Life is meant to have times when everything is going fantastically, and at some point, I will reach my lowest, and perhaps for the longest time. And amidst that, I need to learn to live. I need to understand that life is like that, and I need to learn how to live with it. There is so much happening in my life, it’s all chaotic; however, whenever I feel like it’s getting too much, I just move back and take my time by doing nothing, by detaching myself, and just being ignorant of everything. Taking tension about small things will make my life unlivable, which I won’t even want for my worst enemy.  I want to enjoy my life, and that will happen when I make it possible. Life outside will be peaceful if it is within me. And I want that, I am sure everyone wants that. So, for that, we need to understand that life is a cycle of happiness and sadness, and it goes on. But we shouldn’t doubt whether we can handle it or not. We can do it, just take time and a few lessons to learn. Also, we shouldn’t allow small things to ruin the moments that make us breathe and make us feel that life is worth living for. Living is so important, we are born to live, and I know till now we all are surviving and trying to find the moments where we can live. We often think that after surviving, we will finally live, but that’s not the way. Actually, we need to live in small moments, find happiness in moments and just live life. Life definitely humbles you; it teaches you to stop chasing big things and find happiness in small things. Don’t try to find moments to live; actually, try to make the moments livable for you.

More life. More love. More memories.

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.

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

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.

Blank.

mind full of unsaid things

Blank when you are doing so many things, you are moving on with your life, but still feel nothing. From inside, you are feeling nothing, you don’t feel that you are moving forward, you don’t feel like yourself. I am so flabbergasted that, as adults, we go through so many feelings, and on top of that, we don’t even know what to do to make ourselves feel better. I am currently in a blank phase where the world around me is moving, and I am moving; however, inside me, I feel so empty, as if I have been standing in the same spot for a long time. I don’t even know how to make myself feel better because my thinking has also stopped, like I can’t think about anything. When you feel so much, when you know how to write down your thoughts but can’t do it is the most frustrating feeling ever, and I am going through it right now. Nothing is bringing me excitement; I feel like I am in my robotic phase, where I am on a roll but without my mind thinking. Time is what I need to overcome it slowly, as I am giving it, as I know myself the best. But at the same time, I think that a human goes through so many feelings that bring out different aspects in their lives. As someone who can’t express her feelings well, I just know it is difficult, but with time, everything gets better. This is my escape, this page where I express myself and connect with you all. I feel like there has to be something for someone for times like when lives get too heavy, they can retreat back to what they like to do and give their mind and heart a break to heal. I am sure I will be fine, and it’s part of life, and I am sure you will be fine as well. Remember, with time, everything passes slowly, painfully, but it does. I hope you don’t give up what you love doing, you are way stronger than you think you are. So hold on and give time to heal again.

I don’t really understand this stage of my life.

Random Pause…

It’s okay to push pause.

In one of my earlier posts, I talked about how taking a pause is so important for the mind and body. And here I am with another post on pause; however, it’s quite different from that one. So basically, you know when everything is working out and all, but suddenly a random pause stops you and just like a line is drawn and you see yourself not able to pick yourself up. Yes, this is how I am currently feeling. I have gotten into a random pause zone where I want to do, but I just can’t. My mind won’t allow me to focus and would work against it. And I know this is just for some days, but I feel like I am wasting my time doing nothing. Having the urge to pick up the pace in life and do everything, however, at the same time, you will always find a small rock trying to throw you off. I guess that’s life. The random pause coming in the middle of something is like a routine. Whenever I am doing something, there are always some days when I question everything and wonder what I am even doing. And this all goes only when I give myself time to just let it pass through, and I guess that’s not a bad idea. However, it is in life that there will be days when we will feel our worst, feel that we can’t do anything, it’s like a constant. We need to learn how to live with those feelings and cope with them. What I have understood is that life not only wants to be successful but also wants to be stronger to face any challenges. I feel like in doing anything, there will be more challenges, and we should trust ourselves in overcoming them. Giving time to ourselves is so important. You are human; it’s in your nature to feel things and take breaks, but sometimes we are so under stress we forget to do it, and our mind shuts down. So if it feels like you are unable to do something, just shut everything down and breathe.

Pause now, rise later
