The Importance of Slowing Down

Isn’t it crazy that we used to think that after growing up, getting a job, life would be perfect? Every day will be spent peacefully doing what we love. And it doesn’t come to an extent. However, at a certain point, a sudden realization occurs that we are working in a loop: the demands of the job and life are getting bigger and bigger, rather than feeling content. Isn’t it crazy that this growing world is taking a toll on everyone, leaving us without time to celebrate our achievements because there is a constant urge to do better? I used to think that now I have to work, and then I will relax, but still today I wonder when the relaxation part will come? It’s just work and work. I have experienced that doing work but pushing myself overboard brings me nothing but stress that makes me feel the worst version of myself. I need space to breathe, to step back and enjoy how far I have come. The world never really teaches us the importance of slowing down, but instead, it makes us feel guilty for not working hard.

All of our adult life, we work day and night, which is not good at all. There needs to be time taken to just relax and breathe in a moment. Exhausting ourselves physically and mentally is the worst we could do. Nothing is more important than ourselves; remember that. Your body speaks to you. If it needs rest, shut down everything and slow down. Health is wealth. We need to understand the importance of slowing down, to enjoy the peace of life, to sometimes let our mind free, to not exhaust our body, to enjoy the day without logging to the world, and just be ourselves. Take the trip that you are postponing, eat the dessert you want, dance your heart out, log out of the world and enjoy being yourself, pause your worry about work and understand the importance of slowing down.

The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost

As a literature student, my world revolves around poetry, and I live in it. And I have read some of the amazing poetry and was always amazed by how wonderful a poet thinks. Among them, one of my utmost favourites is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. I still remember how many perspectives I came up with while listening to it. And here I am sharing one of my perspectives on the same. So basically this poem, as the title suggests, is about two roads where the traveller is confused which to take, the one which is the most travelled by or the one which is left unvisited. From this perspective of mine, I am writing about the road that we don’t take, the choice that is left untouched. I always wonder if I would have taken that road where I would be, and if I would be happy. It’s always about the unseen things that we care more about and wonder about. The choice or the decision I made on that day is what I am living now, but I always wonder if maybe I took that road, where would I be today? How would that road treat me? Would I be able to find a better version of myself on that road or at that choice? I always think that both choices can be right; however, we have to find the courage to choose one and move forward with it. In life, every choice comes with challenges that teach us why we chose that path and even make us question why we didn’t choose the other. We always think that maybe that choice would have opened more roads, and so many things go through our minds. I guess thats the nature of our lives, and the choice we make. We always have to look back and wonder about all the choices and the possible outcomes from them.

Don’t wait, just do it!

Don’t wait, just do it! That’s the motto I have been using for my adult life. From my experience, I am talking about how waiting brings nothing but anxiety because we don’t know how it will work out if we don’t try. I was always the one to be scared of doing anything, and still am, but I have adopted the mindset that I will know if I won’t try. Still today, I am scared, but the excitement to learn more about things and gain new experiences has outweighed my disbelief in myself. If I hadn’t started blogging almost five years ago, I don’t know what I would be doing now. Would I still be having this much confidence? Would I have the experience? And so many possibilities would not be coming true. Sometimes things work out in our favour, and sometimes we learn a lesson; there is no in between. There is nothing like bad, it’s all about experience that once we move forward, we understand how strong it made us to handle things. Waiting for things and time to be right and thinking that then you will start is an absolutely bizarre way of thinking to have. Because it’s you who will make the things and time right, but actually indulging in it.

So if you are waiting for the perfect time, it is now and right now! Time waits for no one, so thinking that you will do it later will make a huge difference in your life, and I am not writing in a good way. You need to develop your mindset on how strong and capable you are. And it doesn’t come easily; by facing challenges in your life, you learn about yourself and your strength. Remember, there is absolutely nothing you can’t do if you have set your mind on it.

And maybe we complicate life too much – Part 2

I have already written a post on this topic, and here I am again to write in this. We do indeed complicate life too much, don’t we? Maybe it’s just a matter of time, maybe we just need to have a walk alone with earphones. Maybe we need to let go and actually think about what is happening, and maybe life is not as much how we make it. I am afraid that time is running out and I won’t be able to do things; however, I realised it’s me who made it complicated by overthinking everything. If I take everything slowly, then life will go accordingly and in the end, everything will fit in the right spot. I never really knew how much I love to admire things slowly so that I can truly enjoy them. It should not always be about deadlines; sometimes it’s just about ourselves living the life rather than surviving it. I love to spend time with myself, which, by the way, made no sense to me as a child, but here I am learning this with so many things as an adult. Maybe life is all about slowly living the moment rather than learning how to survive every second. As adults, what can we even do? The world never taught us to slow down, take time, but always rush to do things quickly and move on to the next. But we learned as adults how much it’s more than that. It’s all in our minds, how we possess things and how we react to them. I was one such person as well, but I realised that things work out in the end, so why am I taking so much tension and putting stress on my health? And then I stopped. I slowed down, analysed the situation and made it right, and sometimes I even let it go. Nothing in the world you can’t handle, if it’s your capability, its all going to work out, so yes, maybe we complicate life too much. So slow down, think, keep your emotions in check and boom, everything will be okay.

Sometimes (Poem)

Sometimes life is a river

But not with water, but our tears.

Sometimes failure is what we need

to make success our deed.

Sometimes we don’t need a bed of roses

But thorns to get picked.

Sometimes nothing makes sense

But it’s okay, because eventually everything is worth it.

Sometimes life tests our patience to see us fall

But we stand tall as a dancing tree, making everything worth the fall.

You know what day it is, poem day. I don’t know how I feel about this poem that I wrote, but nevertheless, I loved to share it with you all. Life has been quite hectic emotionally, and only writing has been helping me, so I am glad to have some sense of it. Please, if you want to share, don’t shy away and drop some comments.

The next journey…

I am more of a person who likes the journey more than the destination because I know the destination will be final, but the journey awaits me for something exciting. Definitely, every journey takes you to a destination. However, we have the choice to be at the destination for as long as we want, but we can’t say the same about the journey. Journey can be however long, depending on the situation, and this is what I love. I love to go on the path that will bring me to an unknown place where I can discover myself. Because it is said right, we find ourselves in the best at an unknown place, surrounded by our thoughts. It speaks to me when I am sitting and thinking about life, and I get to know myself better. It’s important to take journeys to understand what we actually want. Sometimes we are stuck in a loop of doing the same thing, and we don’t really understand what is going on. So I believe the journey gives us the answer. Sometimes it’s better to leave a destination so that the journey can be better. It’s always about growing ourselves to the best, and we need to leave and move on to another journey.

Right now, in my stage, I have completed one of the most important journeys that I will forever remember. I can see how much I have grown and so many things I have learned. But it’s time to leave this destination and move on to another unknown journey so that I can discover myself better, and I can use my capabilities for the whole. So it’s important to move on in life, taking different paths to better understand life’s aspects. As someone who used to be scared of doing anything, I now love embarking on new journeys, trying new things, and just enjoying getting to know myself better. So let’s cheer to the next journey, which might take you to the best place you have ever known.

Review: ‘Shine On Me’ C-drama (2025)

Another Chinese drama on the list. I feel like they are very easy to watch and easily accessible. Shine On Me follows the story of an energetic and lively girl, Nie Xi Guang, as she starts her campus life. During her university life, she gets a crush on Zhuang Xu, a top student. However, during her work life, she meets Lin Yu Sen, a former surgeon who now works in the solar industry. Both are drawn to each other.

Let me start by saying that this drama was so hella confusing that I wished I had not watched it. So let me start with the plot. It was a slow-burning romance; however, every other thing that was added to slow down the romance was so boring. Nothing was making sense; it was all about work, which I found not entertaining. The plot was not engaging; I rather found it repetitive. The second lead, Zhuang Xu, was a headache.  What in the world is he thinking that every girl will pursue him while he is still confused about his feelings? This part made the drama more frustrating.

Let’s move on with our female lead, Nie Xi Guang. She belongs to a wealthy family, and every friend of hers makes her realise how privileged she is. To be honest, her character is average during university. But the way she became so powerful during her work life was amazing to watch.

Then, we have our male lead, Lin Yu Sen. The female lead stands out more than he does. Definitely, he was more towards the emotional side with what happened to him. He is a green flag as things move forward. I didn’t find the chemistry between the couple at all. It’s a slow burn, but I was not able to anticipate them together.

It’s a very predictable drama, but with a lot of things happening, which made it frustrating and boring, especially the kind of awkward love triangle.

I won’t recommend this drama.

Fly High (Poem)

Don’t be afraid to touch the ground.

Be afraid of not being able to fly,

fly high but not like a kite,

attach to a reel

but like a balloon holding your own string.

Fly high, thinking that the sky is yours

with stars and moons luring.

It’s never about the height that matters;

It’s your capabilities that make it better.

Learn not to catch the shooting stars

but know how to float among them.

Fly high like a bird with spread wings,

nothing can stop you anymore.

Review: ‘The Best Thing’ C-drama (2025)

“Don’t think you’re not good enough and have no value, you’re just hurt by a bad relationship. Love yourself and live well, that’s the most important thing you can take your time with everything else that said, if possible, I do hope you can heal a little faster” – He Su Ye

I think every drama’s vibe can change, except Chinese dramas. They are always on track with what and how to provide. I don’t think I once thought that C-dramas are losing their charm. You know how sometimes you need a detox by watching a drama that is just a basic love story with nothing major. And ‘The Best Thing’ C-drama is one of a kind. It follows the story of a hotel manager, Shen Xi Fan, who is a workaholic and has insomnia. So to cure it, she visited a Chinese medicine doctor, He Su Ye.

I absolutely loved the storyline, simple and beautiful. I loved the bonding between the leads, the way both will meet and just spend time together, getting to know each other. It was so fresh to see them being friends and happy without any awkwardness.

He Su Ye, a green flag. I loved his way of understanding. It is important to appreciate green flags who never take anything for granted and give perfect advice. His eyes are so expressive, so who wouldn’t fall in love with him?

Shen Xi Fan, first of all, is absolutely breathtaking. For me, she made the cinematography more beautiful. A beautiful character that deserves everything. Her family dynamic is so good.

I feel like in this drama everything was positive. No problem, nothing, just straight away two people meeting, becoming friends and falling in love. The chemistry is insane. Their scenes after dating were so beautiful, and it never felt awkward.

I have to say the cinematography of the drama is top-notch. I don’t think so, I have watched a drama where every scene has a beautiful background. The trees, the cherry blossoms, the music, the colours, and their outfits fit so well that I wish to exist in their world.

I want one of their houses. Just breathtaking and something I wish to just get lost in. The storyline is very simple but memorable. It felt like a palette cleanser for me.

I highly recommend this drama.

“A relationship is about two people; happiness and joy should go both ways. For me and for you, it should be the same. So if one day I make you feel miserable or I make you feel unhappy, you have to tell me. I’ll make changes.”

Challenges

Life is like a game, and we have to solve a level to move forward. Each level is filled with challenges to tackle. And you know what interesting thoughts came to mind? When we are growing, we tackle challenges that come our way. But as adults, we choose our own battle. We choose what challenges to take, what to do and how to do it. That is a huge upgrade that we prepared for the future we want. As someone who was always afraid of taking the step, thinking about challenges and how I am going to do. However, after taking the first challenge, I feel like it’s just the mind that stops us from taking the first step. I now love challenges. I don’t think much before doing anything new because I know once I get the hang of it, I am going to rock it. Challenges make us strong, being able to do anything is actually a blessing, and that happens when we just trust ourselves and just do it. When the realisation happens that everything we want is on the other side of the challenges of fear. From my experience, I can tell that challenges made me so strong, and today I am in that place in my life which I never thought I would be if I had never taken the challenge. I feel like challenges excite me now, they make me go out of my comfort zone and explore what more I can do in my life. It’s the peak adulthood you reach when challenges excite you more than the fear of not being able to do it. Honestly, I would say ahead of time, there will be so many situations that need to be handled with intellect, and that can only happen when we talk about challenges that test us so much. So that we can actually stand up for ourselves and create a life that we always want.
