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.

Life happens…

Life will test you, twist you, and tire you, but it’s the breaking that teaches you how to rebuild.

Yes, most of the time we are sitting and thinking about how much life happens and brings us to a point where we just don’t know what to do or process. What I have seen is that nobody has anything figured out. As we move on, we figure things out, and eventually it leads to the endpoint. However, the time spent figuring out what to do is some of the strangest to exist. Most of our lives, we spend thinking about what to do with various situations that come in front of us, and sometimes we are just circling around, not knowing what to do. The confusing stage of what to do next and how everything will happen puts us in denial that maybe we are not too strong for anything. What I have learned is that situations are what make us strong, not strong as the building, but strong as the tree that still moves around in the high wind but is still rooted to the ground. Every single event in our lives tests how strong we are as humans. When I say strong, that doesn’t mean that crying and having a breakdown make you weak. Strong means being able to know that once we handle ourselves, we can figure it out like always. Life happens most of the time, and I know it’s unfair that we are thrown into this world to deal with things that shouldn’t even exist. However, what we can do other than making ourselves strong is understand our worth and make our will so strong that not even we can break it. Sometimes, we need to sit down and just allow ourselves to feel everything. It’s important to give ourselves time to let everything flow smoothly and to let life happen.

Maybe you should stop overthinking and just trust the way life happens.

Afraid…

you’re afraid to let yourself be happy because you know that it never lasts

I have grown up watching so many dramas where the leads are happy for some time, and then something major will happen, ruining their life. In almost all dramas, there is a fear that happiness is short-lived. And this also kind of resonates with real life. We are always in constant distress that happiness will not last long. Maybe celebrating too much will lead to bad things and so much more. Actually, we take a lot of tension to be happy, which is such an irony. Nowadays, happiness is short-lived because we are in constant tension of the next step and the challenges it’s going to bring. We never really sit down and thoroughly enjoy the happiness; we are just rushing to the next thing. Well, what can we do with the constant demand of the world to do better and more? I read somewhere that we spend so much of our lives worrying about something going bad that we never thoroughly enjoy what’s in front of us. It’s a routine that we are always afraid to choose happiness because we feel like it can be lost anytime now. However, this is life, with phases at every moment, but that doesn’t mean we don’t deserve happiness. I think we need to let go and just go with the flow. I know it’s tough to stop thinking about the future and worrying about it, but when living in the present is more sensible than worrying about the future. Don’t be afraid to celebrate every little win of your life; it’s your moment, and you deserve to appreciate yourself. Who is going to celebrate you winning if not you? Ignore the voice that constantly makes you worry, but start listening to your heart and appreciate yourself for everything. Feeling afraid is inevitable; however, we can’t live like this, learn to enjoy every single win of your life by leaving behind the stress of the future.

be afraid and do it anyway

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.

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.

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. To be honest, 2025 was the year for me when I grew and changed significantly. I stepped into the adult world, started working and doing things that I never thought I would ever do. There is so much that I learned and will be taking with me to the next year.

Raw feelings…

Being a person who feels things deeply is exhausting.

I was sitting in the middle of the chaos, but my heart was so empty that the outside chaos couldn’t stir the chaos in my heart. These are my thoughts when I was sitting between kids running around and just living their lives. And this brought me back to my time as a child. I was a child who lived fully. I played my heart out and never worried about my future or what I would be once I grew up. Now, when I look at myself, I have grown a lot in a lot of ways. I was a child who never believed that I could stand up on the stage and speak a few things, that I could overcome any challenges, or that I could ever achieve things. But as for where I am today, I can proudly say I am doing everything that I was made to believe that I couldn’t do. I feel like, as I have gotten older, I have gotten really quiet, but I have a raging storm in me that I don’t know how to express. But at certain times, I feel like nothing, no matter what is happening around me, I feel empty inside. I don’t know how to express myself, especially my feelings, which are so intense that I feel nothing, leaving me feeling empty from the inside. This makes me believe that every feeling is valid, and it’s okay to feel nothing when everything becomes intense. Everyone has different ways in which they deal with their feelings. For me, it’s to give it time and let it flow; otherwise, I can’t function properly. Also, I need to think about my feelings, I need to observe my surroundings and express how it makes me feel, and one of the reasons why I am here is to express my raw feelings.

I wrote this post in the situation, so it came really raw. I hope whoever is reading this post is okay, and that it’s okay to deal with feelings that make you feel nothing inside. Everything will work out eventually.

It’s okay. To feel all the feels.

living our own life?

Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.

Everybody pretty much talked about the responsibility of adulthood, the job, the financial situation; however, nobody talked about how, amidst that, it will be so hard to live our lives. There are so many responsibilities that an adult carries; however, we have to look at everything. However, what about living our own lives? I have come to reflect on how little time we get for ourselves; it’s mostly taken up by others and their responsibility. I always heard while growing up that responsibility is like a curse that will slowly take you under its spell, and you will not realise it when it happens.

There are so many moments in my life where I just wanted a minute of peace just for myself, but I didn’t know it would be so hard. The hardest thing is that it all comes down suddenly in the middle of the day, and it takes weeks for me to recover my mind and be my usual self. This is my life, but I have to look at so many aspects that I sometimes forget how much I am suffering in the process. I want to work on myself and just myself. I want to take just my responsibility and create the life that I deserve.

I just realised how important it is to move and go to another place because that’s how you create your own life, take care of yourself, and find your personality. At first, I used to think it was scary moving to an unknown place, but now I have realised the person you become in an unknown place is the strongest and the happiest version of yourself. You find yourself, you don’t have to think about others, you just focus on what makes you happy, and honestly, that’s beautiful to live through. It’s your life, so you should be able to make decisions that you feel are right because in the end, it’s you that matters, nobody else.

Live where your hearts find life.
