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!

Inevitable Courage

Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.

What’s the one thing that we learn over time is to have courage, the inevitable courage. I am surrounded by people who are dealing with a lot of things, but the amount of courage they have is truly commendable. The first thing we do is always make ourselves understand that we are going to do it, so what’s this? It’ss the courage to move forward and just do it. Many things in our lives are inevitable, and we want to remove them, and you know what we need to replace them with: inevitable courage. Having courage is huge because in life we face a lot, and to overcome them, we need the courage to face them. Everything begins with courage; just thinking about starting, we need courage for it. The inevitable courage to deal with every situation, every circumstance, and just keep going. And this takes time, we need to understand ourselves first, know our capabilities and learn how much we know. And then only the courage comes because we know how much we can handle. Courage also comes with a lot of firsts, both of which won’t exist without each other. If there is courage, then there is also fear and vice versa. Inevitable courage doesn’t mean you will not be afraid; you will feel everything, your heart will tremble, your knees will be shaking; however, you are still holding up because you know yourself and how strong you are mentally. The true courage is that which won’t let your fear hold you back; it will lift you up and push you forward, fear or no. So it’s all about courage to move forward, to do anything in your life. Fear will always be there, but learn to believe in yourself and just do it, with inevitable courage.

“Everything start with one brave decision.”

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

I rise again and again (Poem)

Being Average sucks,

I guess everything depends on luck.

People say you are born with talent,

So what should I spend my time lamenting?

No, I will rise again and again,

Show the world the new life I begin.

Giving up was never a solution

As I have made a resolution

Of rising again and again

Making myself whole again.

-M A

I saw the phrase ‘I rise again and again’ and instantly thought of writing a poem. And I wrote it in probably five minutes. I am so proud because I used to think I wouldn’t be able to write poems, but I am getting better at it.

I hope you like it.

Freedom.

She was better than happy. She was free.

The word itself speaks for itself. As an adult, what I realised the most is how important freedom is. Freedom allows you to do everything, even the aspect of money comes secondary to it. In my bucket list, I have a wish to randomly book a ticket to the most random place without much thinking and experience it. Because I believe the most spontaneous and random memories are the most cherished ones. Freedom to do anything, this is such an expensive sentence because it comes with a cost of sacrificing so many things to get to this point. As a girl, for me, freedom is to do anything at any time in life. There should never be a pattern in which I have to do a particular thing at a particular time. It’s my life, and whenever I feel like doing something, I will do it. Free from responsibilities, free from expectations, free from feelings about others also plays a huge role in allowing the freedom to come. I feel like it’s all about not having to answer someone ‘what’ and ‘why’ you are doing a particular thing, going somewhere, or choosing whatever you like to do. When I think about freedom, I think about myself at the top of the mountain with my face filled with a smile like I never smiled before, spreading my hands and having no thought in my mind except how lucky I am to be able to experience this. I want to fly like I want to touch the sky, I want to swim as if I will reach the end, I want to scream as everyone hears, and I want to live as no one has ever lived. Freedom is expensive in the sense that once you taste it, there is no going back, and I hope this reaches each one of you. Your freedom is the most important thing to exist because it will allow you to think for yourself and get the strength to create a life that you always wanted and deserved.

The power of freedom is greater than any force.

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.

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.
