Quietness!

As I grew older, I realised that there is noise even in quietness. The more I grew up, the more I started liking being alone. In my childhood, I used to believe that being alone was not good at all; however, now I like to spend my time with myself the most. No matter how much social battery I have, I will always need time for myself. It’s actually a privilege to be able to love and understand yourself, and that only happens when we spend time with our thoughts. There is always a voice in quietness, the voice of our inner self that guides us on what and how to do. You can only love others if you start with yourself, and for that, you need to understand what happens in the quietness. I am always someone who will zone out in the loudest crowd. I don’t know why the voice in me is so loud that it never allows the outside voice to reach inside. We can see it as a metaphor too. It’s all in us; if we want to achieve something, we need to trust ourselves and just do it. Don’t let the outside voice take away your inner voice. You can be as loud to yourselves about things that you want in your life. You need to understand that there is a voice in your heart that knows you better than anyone, that stands with you when the world points at you, and that voice is trust and belief. There is so much you can find in quietness, even yourself. It’s mandatory to look after yourself, to be selfish for yourself, to find the voice that describes just you. In quietness, you find yourself, and you start seeing yourself the way you want rather than from the world’s point of view. So being in peace, in quietness, is a way to listen to the inner voice that best describes you.

Book Review: Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak

Another day, another thriller. I have to say the thriller vibe is coming back as I got to read two good thriller books in a row. One of them is Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak. Mallory Quinn has just got out of rehab and takes a babysitting job for Caroline and Ted Maxwell. Their son loves to draw and grew closer to Mallory. Later, he began drawing very creepy things, which led Mallory to uncover many secrets that might put her in danger.

One thing that attracts me is the book’s pace. When my attention can’t be anywhere else but the book. And I have to say, this book was one of those. The plot and the pace of the book were incredible. The writing is very engaging, and the chapters are short, too. The paranormal vibes in the book were just amazing. The cottage, the jungle, everything through the words was perfectly delivered by the author.

The main character, Mallory, is a protagonist with fast learning and solving skills, which I love in a thriller. I loved that she made the main revelation and revealed it, which made the book more interesting. I liked how, through her, we got to see the plot twist that makes it more interesting.

The plot line was engaging, and I did not guess the plot twist. It was wild to say and amazing. It is a whole new level of twist, but it fitted so perfectly with the book, I loved it. The paranormal activities and the pictures, everything was so eye-catching that I was looking forward to that part. The drawings were amazing, and the way they slowly revealed the whole story was phenomenal.

If you want an engaging thriller with paranormal vibes, I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4/5

The Stronger Ones

And sometimes you meet yourself back where you started, but stronger.

I was reading a quote that I screenshot, probably many years ago, which is how stronger ones know the pain of everything. Because they have gone through the pain of dealing with things in life. How funny is life? If it wants to make you stronger, it will make you suffer in a way that you get used to. The stronger you are, the more pain you learn to hide. I will say from my experience, life teaches you everything you need to know how to be strong, even in situations where you want to scream to the world how much you are suffering. It’s not bad being the weaker ones because that’s how you become the stronger ones. Stronger ones are not the ones who know their way around everything beforehand. They are those who know how to spend hours working hard and how to handle various situations. Being strong doesn’t mean knowing everything, but it means knowing how to deal with situations. Crying is never a weakness, but a sign of never giving up and the way to make the heart stronger for life. The way we deal with situations, the more we become stronger. Also, nobody deserves to know what you do, how you do it, or how you deal with situations. It’s only your concern how to be strong and keep going in life. Being stronger and being weaker go hand in hand; they coexist. The stronger ones dealt with situations where they knew nothing; however, they kept going. At some point in life, we need to have some time where we blow off everything that we are dealing with through taking a break, crying and totally not being okay. And everything is fine as long as you don’t give up. So, all out there, remember life is tough, but you are too!

This is tough. But so am I.

Every great story takes time to unfold

“In the end, we’ll all become stories.” – Margaret Atwood.

I love books, and most of the credit for my blogging goes to them. If I hadn’t started reading, I probably wouldn’t be here writing this blog post. One of the biggest reasons why I love books is that they know how to reach my emotions without actually showing. What I have learned from the books is that every book and every story takes time to unfold. In the beginning, everything is a mess, the protagonist is trying to find how to survive, and in the end, everything makes sense. Doesn’t this apply to our lives? Our lives are like book pages, each page inks what is happening and the problems that need to be dealt with. The pages are going to turn, but only after the first page is fully inked or you decide to leave it blank. I never really understood the concept of blank pages until a theory made it into my mind. That’s how important that blank page is. It is not easy to leave the page blank, but sometimes in life we are forced to leave behind what we truly desire and start over. It also means that ahead the pages will be filled with beautiful ink that will compensate for that blank page. So every story unfolds, but slowly, some pages are blanks, some are messy, and some are beautiful. Just like life, it is filled with stages where we will face so many scenarios. But it doesn’t stay forever, just like pages are turned exactly when situations change. And each situation, be it good or small, will forever be embedded in our minds. Some pages will teach us lessons, some will make us happy, some will make us sad, and some will forever be there, reminding us to never give up. So just like every story takes time to unfold, go through different stages in the same way our likes are like this. Our lives take time to unfold, and we go through different stages to see our story unfold. Also, in the world, there are many books according to everyone’s taste. Just like that in your lives, you have chances to throw the entire book and write a new one the way you want.

“Maybe it’s not about a happy ending. Maybe it’s about the story.” – Albert Camus

Sometimes it just takes time…

Just because it’s taking time doesn’t mean it’s not working.

Sometimes it takes time to feel whole again. Time is everything; with time, everything improves, and often we learn a great deal about life and its various stages. Patience is everything, and it’s also one of the toughest things to achieve when we go through every day waiting for the day when we feel it’s the best time. However, sometimes it takes time for everything to improve, and in that, we need to keep going, maintain our patience, and believe that everything will get better soon. Sometimes life tests us in many ways, and some of them are so hard that we just don’t want to continue; however, if it’s not happening, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Maybe it’s preparing you for the big day. Time teaches us many things; it teaches us to hold on and sometimes just to let go and flow with it. Sometimes we need to learn patience, believe in ourselves, and realise that better days are coming. As someone who has always doubted myself, I have come to realise how capable I am of doing many things. Time lets you hold on to things, take it slow, and learn slowly how to achieve them. On the other hand, it also teaches that it’s better just to let go; maybe it’s time to move on and find something that truly deserves our time. What I have learned in my life is that many things we desire never really come quickly; they come slowly, taking their time because they want us to understand and know their worth. As well as we come to understand ourselves and how much worth we are to time. So if something is taking time, it’s okay, you are doing your best. Remember, we want to hold things for the longest, or maybe forever, so it will take time to ensure everything is worthy for us. It’s difficult, especially when you don’t know when it will happen; however, trust yourself – things that are meant for you will definitely come your way in the most glorious way possible.

One day at a time, one step at a time.

Focus on yourself!

You get what you focus on so focus on what you want.

Focus on yourself and what you truly want. From our childhood, we were always told what we would be when we grew up. When we grow up, we start to realise the meaning of life, ourselves and what we truly want. Everything changes. When we realise that there is a voice in us that is totally different from others, we need to understand it. When we reach a certain age, we come to realise ourselves, and we also face insecurities that others love to point out. In the beginning, we will hate our insecurities, we will try to hide them; however, with time, as we grow, we understand that no one matters but us. We start to love ourselves, we start to embrace our insecurities, and in the end, no one matters but us. I feel like it’s such an underrated and rare feeling about starting to love ourselves, choose ourselves and just be the bird flying with the biggest wings ever. Focus on yourself, this is your life, and you have every right to live it the way you want. When you choose yourself, many things will be left behind, and that’s okay because you are doing it for yourself. We live in a world where we will have thousands of people who have an opinion on us, but what we need to do is just let go. Focus on yourself, your mental health, your wellbeing, you being healthy is most important. Life becomes peaceful when we choose ourselves, do what we really love and let our inner self be at ease. So just do what really makes you happy, don’t let others ruin your happiness because you choose yourself. The world will always say something, so why not just focus on yourself and do what you really love, because what matters is your happiness and nothing else. True happiness and relief come from doing things that our heart desires, so just focus on yourself!

Focus on yourself don’t get lost in other people.

Is life this serious?

Don’t think too much.

The question that changes in the situation of lives. I love to watch interview videos of old people and the advice they give. Among all the videos, the most common one was to live life to the fullest, because we will regret not living in the moment. When I think about life, I see it as a process that continues. There will be sadness, but also, after that, happiness is going to wait for us. If we take life too seriously, then when are we going to live? We can’t be waiting for life to give us the chance, but we have to make it in the moment. What I feel is that life is not that serious; it’s how we make it that matters the most. At this point in my life, I have seen many situations and overthought a lot, but in the end, everything went well. But overthinking takes a heavy toll on my health, which is hard to recover from. So whenever I come across a situation, I try not to overthink it but trust my abilities. The thing that I don’t like is regret that someday in my life ahead I will have the regret that I didn’t live my life the way I wanted to, just because I overthink a lot or take my life too seriously. We can’t bring time back, so we take life too seriously, just thinking about problems, and not enjoying living in the moment, which kind of destroys the whole purpose of life. It’s all on you, how you analyse the situation, and don’t let your heart be closed to the world. Open yourselves up to the world; there is so much to enjoy, it’s our mind that is stopping us from letting us live, but create that mindset, and everything will be fine.

Don’t worry about what you can’t control.

The burden of…everything

Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry.

Why does every responsibility need to be a burden? As we learn to take responsibility, why does it keep increasing slowly, and why does every person need to make us aware of how little we are doing? Why can’t anyone see how hard we are trying every single day, every single minute? The burden becomes so much that we don’t even realise when we stop laughing, zoning out in the crowd and stop doing what we really love. Then I ask myself the question, who is going to save me? And the instant answer that I get is myself. My courage and my abilities to know my capabilities. As an adult, I know that I should keep myself as the biggest priority, and I should take care of myself. The day we start thinking for ourselves and saying no, which is necessary, everything will change, but for ourselves, everything will get better. What we like, what we love to do, what we want to be in the future, all of these questions are answered by ourselves only. There is no one to share the burden, and I don’t think we need anyone. It’s life, it is going to be full of responsibilities; however, when it starts to suffocate you, it’s time to take action and think for yourself. Keeping boundaries while choosing yourself is very important and healthy. I feel like the world doesn’t allow a person to live their life but to care for others, but that’s not right. Aren’t we supposed to live the life that is given to us? So just focus on yourself and don’t let the responsibilities of others ruin your life. Speak up for yourself and do it because you want it, not because others expect from you. Others will go; they will live their life while putting responsibility on you. But you have to speak up for yourself, don’t allow others to control your life. You live once, so live it to the fullest.

Lay your burden down.

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!
