It’s never enough…

“Nothing will knock you down quicker than offering the best of yourself to someone and it still not being good enough.” – M.W Poetry.

It’s never enough how much you do for others; they will still want more. They will still complain about how ungrateful you are and not enough. In this world, you need to understand that it’s never enough to impress people; if they have already made up their minds about you, they will never see your effort, no matter what you do. So learn to live for yourself, the society will never be happy, no matter what. The courage to stand up for yourself and do whatever you want doesn’t come easily. However, if you want to survive living in this world and want to create a place for yourself, then you need to focus on yourself. You only work for yourself, not for others. This is your life, so live it however you want should be your motto. You will get tired of impressing others, and amidst that, you will forget how to live for yourself. That is why you do whatever you want, regardless of what others say. It’s definitely not easy; however, you only live once, and this is your life, and you should always remember that for yourself and your future, you need to become selfish. The world will not even look in your direction when it’s their time, so just do it for yourself. I have learned that no matter how much you do, it is never enough. So it’s better to just focus on yourself and believe in yourself. Do whatever you want and don’t tell anyone about it. No one deserves to know what you are doing and why you are doing it. You should know that in this world, you are your only true self. Everyone else is just there to take advantage of you. Selfish people don’t have the guts to appreciate you when they see you are going ahead of them; they will demotivate you and show you it’s never enough, so leave those people behind and just trust yourself. You live for yourself only, and do whatever you want to do for yourself; you are what matters.

It sucks, doesn’t it? feeling like you’re not good enough, no matter how hard you try.

Whatever happens, happens for a reason!

I believe. Everything happens for a reason.

I have always been someone who gets stuck at the weirdest point in my life, where I have so many things to do. And I do stress a lot about how I am going to do it, or I have to leave something behind and then regret basically making a choice. However, in all those situations, I have realised how doors get opened for me to navigate everything and not make a choice. Right now, I am in that situation, but yesterday everything worked out, making me so grateful that maybe it was my destiny to choose everything and do whatever I wanted without leaving anything behind. I have noticed that if I leave anything behind, the guilt is so bad, and it makes me wonder why I was not strong enough to do it. Maybe the result might be the same, but at least I tried. This makes me come to a realisation that whatever happens, happens for a reason, be it negative or positive. If life closes one door, that always means it will open another one in front of us unexpectedly. I am writing about my experience, which has always happened in my life. I get so afraid to take the challenges, and saying no seems easy, but when I actually do it makes me think how capable I am. If we look at life, it’s not a villain, but how we think about our life is what makes the difference. Whatever happens, happens for a reason. I always think about it like that, and it makes me feel so powerful about myself because I am taking on challenges and doing them no matter what the result is. If we take a situation that I think everyone has faced at least once in their life about how much we wanted something that didn’t work out and we feel like a failure but maybe there is something else that you were made for, just like I said it’s about our thinking that makes all the difference. So remember, whatever happens, happens for a reason!

Everything comes to you at the right time.

Book Review: Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica

I picked this book after seeing so many positive reviews about the plot twist, and I was having a hard time finding a good thriller. In this book, we get to read the mystery behind people disappearing. First, Shelby Tebow went missing, and not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanished without any trace. Now, after 11 years, Delilah returns shockingly, and now everyone wants to know what happened, but nobody is ready for it.

Let’s start with the plot, and to be honest, it’s heartbreaking and really sad at the beginning, but as we move on with the story, the thriller aspect emerges. The writer did an incredible job of confusing the reader about who the culprit might be, as she introduced numerous characters and their connections to the victim. Because of this, I was not able to guess what the plot twist was. The story is different and fast-paced. I liked that it was not at all confusing, and everything ultimately made sense.

Now talking about the plot twist, I won’t lie, it was jaw-dropping, but not thrilling. The writer has added numerous characters and their plot lines, which would have made more sense; however, the plot twist was so random that I couldn’t digest it within the context of the book’s story. The plot twist definitely needs to be unexpected; however, in this book, I felt that it didn’t fit, it was so random that it made me dumbfounded. It was out of the box because there was not at all a hint about what the plot twist was from the beginning; it came out of nowhere. It was like another chapter, and boom, we got to know what exactly happened. I just felt that how the story started and the suspense the author added in the book didn’t tie up with the plot twist; it just didn’t fit. There could be more interesting plot twists that could have happened given the characters the author has created.

There are many characters in the book, and I have so many suspects; however, as I said, there is no hint about the plot twist, so it did shock me. There are many characters, and it doesn’t really focus on one, like we have the past story from Meredith’s point of view and the present story from her neighbour, Kate and her son, Leo.

I just wish the writer had used one of the other characters that she introduced in the book as the main part of the story, rather than such a random one.

The book is fast-paced and really easy to read, so I recommend it.

There is no hero in the world except…

“Who cares, just do it.”

There is no hero in the world except yourself. It is very common for everyone to love a hero; however, if you want to become a hero in your life, you need to be a villain in everyone’s life because that’s how it works. I feel like the world makes us feel bad if we are selfish for ourselves, our needs and the future we want. If people like what you’re doing, they will be delighted, but maybe that’s not what you want. Maybe you want something else, and if the world doesn’t like it, they will show you as the villain. I still don’t understand why people can’t mind their own business. It’s the 21st century, people need to grow up. I am someone who wants to stay away from people’s business as much as possible because I am too busy to deal with my own. If you want to become the hero of your life, then you will most definitely become someone else’s villain, and that’s okay. We are in this world to live our lives, not to care what others think. If we start caring about what others think, then we will become villains in our story. But if you need to become a villain in others’ eyes at the cost of your happiness, do it because others won’t think twice before throwing you in the puddle. Be the hero of your own life, do whatever brings you happiness. I think living with the motto of creating the future for yourself, irrespective of what others say, is one of the strongest things a person can do for themselves. If you want to do it, just do it, the world is always going to say. It’s your life, and whatever you want, you need to earn that by being the hero, which might make you the villain in others’ eyes, but who cares? You only live once, and leave the people who make you feel that you are the villain in your own life. What matters to you, what makes sense to you, doesn’t mean it should make sense to the world. You need to be happy; that’s all that matters, and believe me, it’s going to be okay because there is no hero in the world except…

Everything is better when you decide you don’t care.

It’s Okay…

It’s okay if all you did today was survive.

It’s okay if days are not going the way you want them to be. It’s okay if things are going great, and something happens, but it does not make you a failure. My life has been on a roll, I’m busy preparing for so many exams that I have a deadline this month which will decide my future, and today I cut my hand so badly that I’m recording to write this blog post. And guess what, my exam is in a week and I have injured my hand, which I’m supposed to write with. I was kind of panicking, but it’s okay, I am fine again. I am doing great, and I will be better very, very soon.  Life is like that, only it will test you at every step, and it comes so suddenly that we don’t know how to deal with it. But again, at this point in my life, where I have seen so much and been an adult for such a long time, I have learned that life works that way; it will test you, but we have to believe in ourselves. Just like happiness, there is sadness, and for the rainbow to be there, the storm has to come. After every difficulty, we definitely get to see the result; we just need to hang in there. I had the habit of always questioning myself if I didn’t accomplish something, I put such pressure on my mind and kept thinking about what went wrong, but later realised nothing was wrong, it’s just a phase of life which will go, I just need to believe in myself that I can do it. If I put pressure on myself and start questioning my existence, that world is going to do the same, and I’m not going to be okay. So let me tell you, it’s okay, you’re doing fine, one setback will not decide your future, but it’s your courage to pass through it that will. So hang in there, do what you love and remember to say this yourself when life gets a little hasty, it’s okay…

You are strong, but you are also tired, and that is okay.

Book Review: None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

I came straight after reading the book to write my review because I felt insane about what I just read minutes ago. This book is insane, and my head is spinning at a high rate. The book follows the story of Alix Summer, a famous podcaster and a woman named Josie Fair whose past is full of pain. Josie and Alix share the same birthday, and Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcast and comes up with a plan that she might be a good subject for Alix’s podcast.

Let’s start with the character of Alix. I can’t believe she is a famous podcaster who interviews so many people and can’t even tell how a person is. I found Alix’s character to be so unrealistic that I hated her; she was the reason why things turned out that way in the end. She is such a famous podcaster and has a family, and she is so okay with inviting a random lady she met by accident just a few days ago to her house and letting her stay as well. I wanted to throw the book at her because she meets so many people and can’t tell a person’s nature, that’s impossible. Definitely the dumb character in the thriller I hate, and guess what, she is also the main character. She is to blame for everything, by the way.

Josie, what a character! She is someone who will gaslight and manipulate people so easily, but only a naive person like Alix, the famous podcaster, will believe it. The author has not exactly gone into her mind, but very simply, through her talks, we get to know her character. Then, too, her character was intense to read. The end was unexpected, actually, that’s more like the plot twist. We might think Josie is the main character, but no, it’s Alix as she gets tangled in her own mess she created, and she can’t even clean that up ever.

The plot is excellent. I won’t say there are any plot twists because it’s very clear what is happening. I think it’s more frustrating to see Alix’s character and realise how dumb she could be given her profession. The book is very fast-paced, and I read it in less than 24 hours. The second half of the book was pretty intense and thrilling.

The book is more like a warning than a thriller about how we should never trust a stranger and not bring them home if we have a family, because we never know what that stranger can do, and it can lead to a forever loss like what happened to Alix.

There are no plot twists, everything is clear as water; however, the last ending, OMG, is what made my mind go spinning because wow. It was definitely unexpected, and in a thriller, we never trust any person, no matter what, and that’s what the ending says.

I highly recommend this book.

places hold memories

Life is a collection of memories.

I was passing by the places that I used to visit with my Mom, and it felt so nostalgic because of how different I was back then. And the sudden realisation hit me that places never change, they still hold memories; however, what changes are us, the humans. The things and the places we used to look at as a kid and now as an adult are the same, but what changed is us; our interpretation has changed. That’s why memories are so important, they bring us so much peace when we visit places where we have spent such a good time. I never really understood or knew until I visited the place, and then it hit me how much older I have become. The places I once visited with my mom are now places I visit alone, and I’m filled with so many thoughts. And just like that, we grow up, leave the places behind that were once our way to spend time, and now we are looking at places to escape the hectic life of adulthood. What is it like visiting the place after so many years and remembering the life we once lived, and now everything has changed? I think the places we used to visit in childhood will always be precious memories because we remember the phase, the smell, the clothes we were wearing, holding hands with our parents, doing weird poses, exploring everything new, and how our eyes used to go wide with excitement. And now, if we go back to the place we remember our innocence phase and how happy we were with no tension, just excitement to explore the place. When I visited the place a few days ago, I looked like a tourist as my eyes were wide and my heart felt heavy. How the time has changed, and I have grown up to be an adult. That’s how life is, we look back and realise that’s the best time we have spent, and I think that’s the whole point, we should create memories that one day we look back and see how happy we were, and there is no regret left behind of not spending time right. So all the adults out there, this time will not come back again, so make sure you try to enjoy it as much as you can.

and some memories never leave.

Review: ‘Descendants of the Sun’ K-drama (2016)

“Don’t feel embarrassed just because I found out that you like me. Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that I like you more…” – Yoo Shin-jin to Kang Mo-yeon.

No drama can ever be able to match the hype and the aura of this drama. This drama still holds a special place in many hearts, and I don’t think any drama will ever be able to replace it. The drama follows the story of Yoo Shin-jin, a soldier belonging to the South Korean Special Forces, who falls in love with a hardworking and beautiful surgeon, Kang Mo-yeon. However, when their relationship began, their lives took a turn, forcing them apart.

Beginning with the plotline, a soldier and a surgeon, hell yeahhhhh!!!!! I think this drama balances out the romance and the climax part so well that nothing feels overwhelming or underwhelming. The drama was way ahead of its time, and a 2016 drama, it will be forever remembered. The depth of the plotline was so intense, but then their romance balanced it out. The earthquake sequence, the surgery sequence and the ending were amazing to watch.

Talking about Yoo Shin-jin, what a marvellous character. He is such a sweetheart, but at the same time, a magnificent Captain. For a 2016 character to be funny and flirty was a huge thing, especially since there was a trend of cold-hearted male leads. Yoo Shin-jin looks so serious, however, his talks make him a hilarious character. He, as a captain, was a hell of a ride to watch; the depth of his character made him stand out.

Then we have our surgeon, Kang Mo-yeon, who is one of my favourite female lead characters. Her character is balanced so well as we get to see her being smart as well as funny, her expressions were my favourite. The way her character was written showed us some of the beautiful aspects of her and the drama.

Their chemistry doesn’t even have the right words to describe them. When you first watch, you will think how serious the drama and the couple are; however, when you actually watch this, you will realise how silly they are. I think that is what stood out because both are equally crazy and funny together. Their scenes of teasing each other were everything.

The second couple is everything, a forbidden romance between an army surgeon, Yoon Myeong-Joo and an army officer, Seo Dae-Young. I don’t think so, any second couple will ever be able to match them. First of all, their visual screams their forbidden love; we can actually see the pain and love in their eyes when they are standing apart and just looking at each other. The tension is everything, and I don’t think I will ever get over it. Their ending OMG was so beautiful to watch, even though they talk and taunt each other, we can see the care and love for each other in their eyes. Their OST will forever be engraved in my mind about the heart.

“Say it’s just a strategic retreat. Tell me to wait for you, tell me you’ll do whatever it takes to come back to me.” – Yoon Myeong-Joo.

The team of doctors were incredibly funny, I couldn’t stop laughing because each of them was one heck of a character. They made the drama more alive. The cinematography is breathtaking. The camp added such intensity to the plot, and the famous scenes that went viral were magnificent to watch. The OSTs, each of them are beautiful, and I still listen to them on auto-play. Just like how the drama is intense, the OSTs are also intense, so whenever I listen to the OSTs, I get flashbacks of the couples.

I think this drama still holds a special place in people’s hearts because of the vibe, the OSTs, the cinematography, the dialogues, the plot, and how it was so different from other dramas, and I don’t think it will ever be replaced by anything.

I highly recommend this drama, please watch it.

“You are very charming but dangerous. I don’t like it. Every time I catch your eyes, I am charmed. Should I become a girlfriend of this dangerous yet charming man?” – Kang Mo-yeon.

Never say Never…

Sometimes there is no next time, no second chance, no time out.

Sometimes it is NOW or NEVER.

I will start by saying, take that opportunity, it has come your way, which means you were chosen for it. As an adult, you need to come out of your comfort zone, you can’t hide forever, you need to take that risk, no matter how much you are afraid. At this age, you have to test your ability, and this will happen when you take on the opportunity that scares you. Being an adult is scary; however, it also allows you to explore and find yourself. I really want to see how much I am capable of things, and that will only happen if I take risks, no matter how nerve-wrecking it is. I know the feeling of saying no to something and then regretting it so much and thinking if only I took it, maybe I would have failed, but at least I tried and learned. Taking the opportunity to learn and teach how to do things right and better as we move on in life. Everything is scary at first because you have not tried yet, you won’t know how much you are capable of, how much you can do, unless you try. You have to try and start somewhere to keep going and make the life you’ve always dreamed about. I recently learned how to drive a car, however, I was so afraid at first, even though I can drive well, my confidence was so low. But I know I have to start the car and keep going to actually see my progress. And guess what, I drove so well and now my confidence level has increased because I know what my flaws were, and I worked on them, and now I can control the car. Nobody is perfect, and people we see who are so good at their job started somewhere, started imperfectly, to reach where they are so perfect. No matter what, never say never. Life is all about risk and especially in matters where your whole future lies ahead of you. Taking that opportunity will give you some result, but saying no will never allow you to move ahead, and the result will always be nil. So take the opportunity, I know you have a lot of courage to rule the whole world, so never say never…

You have to fight for what you want.

The sudden urge to disappear…

If in the mood to delete everything, go missing for the time being. – MA

You know when you’ve had enough of everything and just want to book a treehouse in the middle of nowhere and spend some slow time there with your favourite things. I don’t know how many things I think about this, but I wish it could be this easy. Other than the exhausting days, I want time to slow down so I can live in peace and quiet for a long time. It’s becoming ironic how fast the time is going. At first, we used to think weeks were far away, but years passed by in the blink of an eye. The sudden urge to just disappear and find myself, understand myself and the life I have been given. Sometimes, amidst the chaos of life, it becomes difficult to find what we are doing and lose sight of our purpose, and we want to give up. It definitely gets exhausting, and then comes the urge to just disappear from the chaos of life. As an adult, I have realised peace is so expensive, you just can’t find it anywhere, but you need to disappear for a while from the chaos of life. The urge to just disappear and find peace that you have been craving for a long time. When people say that a break is important, it also includes going far away from everyone and finding yourself again. The tension in the mind and the heaviness in the heart need a place to ooze out, and what is better than disappearing without telling anyone to your favourite place and letting yourself have a proper time to rest. Life is unpredictable, and there are going to be moments when we feel like nothing is going the right way. To avoid feeling insecure, it is better to just disappear and take time for yourself to heal. You are doing great, and if things get too hard, it’s okay to take a step back, breathe, go away for a while, and give in to the urge to disappear.

Heal yourself first, not the world. – MA
