Keep Fighting!

I have been through too many wars to ever doubt my strength.

There are a lot of things we learn as we become adults; among them, the most important is that we have to fight in life to get what we want. Life is not as easy as we know; to survive, we need fire in us to fight against all the odds. It is not easy to walk the path that you know will have a lot of thorns and to survive that, you need to become a warrior. To win in life, one has to go through failure to understand what exactly winning feels like. Just like that in life, we have to become a warrior in every step to keep fighting and walking forward towards the things we want. Life is cruel but at the same time, it is worth every fight because we are warriors, we have a burning passion to fight for the life we want to live. Nothing comes without a fight and effort; everything has its own time and its own way to come, but we have to keep up with the race of life to smell and live the victory. There are not many moments in my life where I have experienced victory, but trust me when I say the moments when I felt like I have won the fight, the feeling can’t be expressed in words. And I will keep on fighting for the life I want to live because every life is worth fighting for and every life has a meaning. There are days when you will be a warrior while some days you will become a mess but what matters is that you are still there fighting and trying and I am so proud of you. Fighting not only means bravery and courage, but it also includes fear, isn’t bravery’s second name, fear? You are the only one who can make meaning out of your life. Life is given to you because you are strong even if you don’t know that yet, but you will eventually, so keep fighting!

You gotta fight alone.

Don’t ever stop.

Never stop trying.

Never stop believing.

Never give up.

Your day will come.

I have always known that life is a cycle of happiness, sadness, happiness and just like that life continues. We humans tend to feel a lot of emotions that make us feel good and bad about ourselves. But do you know if we never feel sadness how will we ever realize the importance of happiness, how will we ever know how happy we are? Thoughts keep pouring into my mind about myself, whether I am doing well enough, and why I can’t see myself feeling satisfied with life and my goals. Because I always focus on my negative thinking and ignore my success and how much life truly has brought me happiness. Life indeed makes you think that your negative weighs over your positive and we just sit and question our lives. But I always remember how much I have done and how hard I am working and I am going to be okay. The important thing I have learned is to never stop, life is going to throw many challenges towards me but I have to keep pushing myself. Don’t ever stop, believe me, you are worth everything you want. Somedays might look tough and it will be difficult going through it but life is not always bad it’s the way you can see the good side of life and yourself. Don’t ever stop believing in yourself, you can do so much and you will realize that one day but before that please keep trying hard. Don’t think just do, because thinking will only make the scenario worse and what is not even true. Don’t ever stop for anyone, do whatever you want, you just live once and make the most out of it. The major thing that keeps me going is to try, at least try without caring about the result because trying won’t leave you with regret but not trying will.

don’t stop when you’re tired stop when you’re done

Review: ‘Marry My Husband’ K-drama (2024)

“Do you know what it means to not have a family? Have you been on a boat? After my dad died, it feels like I’m on a boat every day. My feet are firmly planted, but the board keeps rocking. I feel anxious. I want stability. I want to step on solid land.” – Kim Ji-Won.

This drama has me in a chokehold because of how entertaining it was. To be honest, I went into this drama with low expectations, however, I was into it so fast. First of all, I didn’t even understand when I went from the first episode to the fourth in the blink of an eye. Marry My Husband follows the story of Kang Ji-Won, who witnesses the affair between her husband and her best friend and is murdered by them. Then the story takes a turn when she goes back in time to change her future and get revenge.

Let me start with Yoo Ji-hyuk, I am sorry but why is he so underrated as a green flag, the man did everything for Kim Ji-Won. First of all, he is so soft-spoken and well-mannered. The way he came out of nowhere and just paved the way for Kim Ji-Won sparked my interest immediately. His love for her was everything, the man saved her by pushing himself into danger. From the start, he was very persistent in loving Kim Ji-won, which I loved. At first, he might look like a fool but in reality, he is super sharp in playing games.

Then we have Kim Ji-Won, the main lead of the drama. I loved her transformation, she is so beautiful. Her story tells me that it’s not about physical being but people around us. If we have the right people around us no matter how we look, they will always support us. Kim Ji-Won when meets the siblings, she realises how incredibly good she is but has people around her who take advantage of her. I loved to see her self-growth transformation, physically and mentally.

The chemistry was good plus the height difference. I loved their relationship from the start both understood each other so well. I love their friendship and how both were very well acquainted with each other like partners in crime. Since the vibe of the drama is dark and revengeful, their relationship stood out well in that aspect. I like the perspective of them being partners in crime and doing good justice to the plot. On the other side, their love is so pure and healthy. I love relationships where partners understand each other very well and there is one of them. Their past story was so heartwarming to watch, they really taught me what meant to be yours will find you eventually.

The plot line was everything, it was so engaging that I went through this drama too fast especially starting episodes. In a revenge drama for someone like me, I want just revenge without any stupid plotline of seeing the lead suffering again. I want revenge against the enemy and their downfall only and I think this drama truly did that. The drama is very fast-paced and interesting throughout and it is so much fun to watch the satisfying scenes. The ending is so beautiful and pure, I loved it.

If you want a fast-paced drama then I highly recommend this drama.

“I decided to fight and I will win.” – Yoo Ji-hyuk.

You can do it.

If you know you can do better…then do better.

I was not the kind of person who wrote proper goals but rather went with the flow. However, this year my best friend gave me a planner and for the first time in my life, I wrote a goal and guess what just within two months one of the biggest goals of my life is getting fulfilled today. I topped my first year of masters and saying I am over the moon would be an understatement. This is my first big achievement, I was not expecting this early. Let me tell you, I did my bachelors in something else but I was just leading my way ahead without actually gaining proper knowledge. So I decided to change my faculty and do something very different and I am so glad I took that step. It’s been a year and a half and almost six months left till I get my master’s degree and I never regret taking such a big step out of my comfort zone. By coming out of my comfort zone, I have realized that I could do so much but I need to be brave and just do it. It was hard coming out of my comfort zone and doing something so different because at this point it’s either going to take me up or throw me on the ground. And as we can see it gave me the wings to spread as much as I want to. When I started to take myself seriously, my passion and my strength I realized I could do it all, there is no negative voice that stops me, I just have one thing in my mind I want to do and I can do it.

Just like that, you can do it as well. Nothing in life is comfortable, especially things that you want in your life. You have to come out of your comfort zone and just do it. You don’t have to wait for the result, do it because you like it, because it makes you happy, because you see yourself getting better, and because you are enjoying it that is enough reason for you to just do it. I know you all can do it and it may look hard but your future, your passion, your happiness everything is calling your name so just do it.

Just because it’s hard doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

You can do it.

Review: ‘Crash Landing on You’ K-drama (2019)

“You shouldn’t be good to people who beat you up. Those who throw punches don’t know how much it hurts, only those who take punches do. If someone tries to harass you, throw a punch first.” Yoon Se-ri

If I could convince you to watch one K-drama please let it be this one. This drama has everything, a beautiful laid-back setting, cinematography that makes you swoon on it, a breathtaking couple with sizzling chemistry, a thrilling plot, a second couple that makes us cry a bucket of tears and a group of the most amazing friends that we all wish to have. Crash Landing on You talks about Yoon Se-ri, a South Korean heiress who because of a paragliding mishap found herself in North Korea. Ri Jeong-Hyeok is a North Korean army officer who found her and decided to help her hide and send her back to her country.

Let’s start with Ri Jeong-hyeok, what is not there to not love him? Putting yourself at risk to hide a girl from the enemy’s country and make sure she is safe in his house, and then walking into the enemy’s country to protect her, how high the standard has to go. I loved his cold personality and at the same time his clueless self. That man appeared so cold infront of her yet did everything that she wanted. Why because he loves her? No, because he felt that he needed to do that. He is smart in many things but an absolute loser in love. When he realized he had feelings for her and nothing was making sense to him, he was so funny doing some embarrassing things that never failed to make me laugh. His aura throughout the drama was unmatched. He did everything for his love and I loved to watch it. This drama has the scene of him going out of control because the woman he loves is in danger. (the best scene)

Yoon Se-ri is a savage and at the same time a complete crackhead. The way she was so clueless being in North Korea and trying to be normal by being a complete crackhead was so fun to watch. I loved the contrast in her character, the fact she gets to enjoy freely in a country where she knows no one and on the other hand her own family doesn’t want her. I loved her character, she is seen as badass, savage, beautiful, and a welcoming woman.

Their friendship group was the best. In a drama where the plot line is about helping the leads, I love friendship groups. Because they add comedy as well as character to the drama. I loved the friendship group, they were hilarious. I loved that slowly they all warmed up to Se-ri, the hug of them when they met Se-ri again is imprinted in my mind forever. Because of them, both the leads got together and she got to go back to her country.

The plot line is so dramatic but perfectly executed. The way the episodes were coming and everything started to make sense had me so immersed in the show that I couldn’t stop watching. I loved the side of North Korea, the place, the people and the food. The vibe was so cosy yet haunting. I loved every second of this drama. The cinematography was breathtaking, the train scene, the house, the place everything fitted the drama so well. The costumes added an amazing richness.

The chemistry is everything. They are a real-life couple, what less would you expect? The understanding, the love, and the unspoken words between them every scene of their screams was dreamy. Their eye contact and hug after meeting again, I can never forget the scene. The promise was kept. The second lead couple, Seo Dan and Gu Seung-Joon this drama also stood high in giving me a second couple syndrome. Their story was so heartbreaking. Through the second lead couple, I understood that two broken people can fix or break each other more, and I cried with them.

I highly recommend this drama, please just watch it.

“I was wrong. When I die, there is someone who cries for me. The fact that you are that person makes me both sad and happy.” – Gu Seung-Joon

The peace of not knowing anything…

PEACE.

The other day I saw a post that showed small children enjoying their time because they know nothing about the real world. They don’t have to worry about waking up early in the morning, they don’t have to worry about deadlines, they don’t have to worry about expectations, and they don’t have to worry about life. Once you become an adult you realize the importance of peace where the mind just stands still allowing you to enjoy the moment peacefully without letting you worry about the next moment. The child never worries about what is to come next, they focus a lot on what they are doing at the moment like eating their favourite snacks and they will be so focused because they are enjoying it thoroughly, they are not worrying about the next moment. Many people say to keep the inner child in you always alive, and to be honest, I am proud to say that but what about the mind, will it ever get the peace it deserves? The peace of not knowing anything makes me think how the world was so beautiful, so full of positivity and so full of love, however, as we grow up life takes a huge turn and makes us encounter moments that show that the peace we had as a child is now shattered. The peace of just not knowing anything is so good, just living life happily without worrying about what the next moment will bring, I want that time in my life, I am tired of worrying about what the next moment will bring, I just want to relax and go with the flow. You know I love watching kids being themselves, I really admire them and remember my old self as a kid. I was the kid with no care about the world, I had peace with just going with the flow, and now as an adult, everything has changed. But there are certain things I do to protect my peace and it is by minding my own business, I don’t want to hear about other business and fill my mind with more than it needs. I don’t share my feelings, I have locked my heart and mind in allowing negative feelings. Just put on your headphones and lock out the world’s voice, trust me you will be fine with the peace of not knowing anything…

“Protect your peace.”

Book Review: The Locked Door by Freida McFadden

To be honest Freida McFadden’s books are either a hit or a miss and this one for me was a miss. There was nothing much for a thriller in this book I just read it because I was in a reading slump and it successfully brought me out of it. The book follows the story of Nora who was just eleven years old when her father was arrested for unaliving someone in their basement. Decades later Nora is a successful surgeon while her father is behind bars. Everything was going perfectly until Nora found out one of her female patients had been unalive in the same way her father used to unalive his victims.

The main character is Nora, and the whole book is from her point of view. From the start, the way Nora was, I knew she was her father’s daughter because she did show some psychic things. However, she worked on making herself different from her father, and I guess she succeeded in it.

The pace of this book is very fast I did not even realize it when I ended up in the middle of the book. There is nothing thrilling in the book as it follows just Nora’s point of view. I felt that maybe if the past point of view were of her father’s that would make the book more thrilling. There were definitely some creepy scenes and did I guess the plot twist, no I was thinking totally opposite to what actually happened.

The plot twist was actually kind of good, I didn’t guess it. I think that it did give me a thrilling vibe. The book has a creepy vibe too because I suspect everyone but not the one who was the actual culprit. But I would say it lacked quite a good amount of details which would have made the book more thrilling and creepy.

If you don’t read this book you wouldn’t be missing much.

Future’s gonna be okay!

now close your eyes, and please understand that you are still young, and the universe is endless, and somehow,

everything will be okay.

The time we spend worrying about the future is shocking because we are thinking about the time that has yet to arrive. In my last post, I wrote about how we should learn to live in the present rather than worrying about the time that has yet to come. Actually, I never really understood what people meant by living in the moment until I realized how precious time is. We spend most of our time worrying about the future and forget to live and enjoy the moment we are currently breathing in. Have hope in yourself and believe that what you are working on right now will secure you a future and if things do not go the way you planned then it’s okay life is unpredictable but that doesn’t mean you are a failure, it means that maybe there is something better for you than what you thought. I always tell myself that the future is yet to arrive but all I have now is my present, I need to have good memories, I need to enjoy, I need to understand myself, and that is how I will make my present and future okay. If you are fearing for the future in your present, that means you are troubling yourself in the time when you are supposed to understand yourself and the time that has yet to arrive. You are not living peacefully now so how will you in the future, let the fear go of your future everything is going to be okay. Live in the present, make memories of today and take them with you to your future so that when you look back at least you will be proud that you lived in the moment. Tell yourself all you have now is present in your hand, so take that and work and live in that moment and believe that the future’s gonna be okay!

Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, then it’s not the end.

Review: ‘When the Phone Rings’ K-drama (2024)

“The world won’t fall apart if you speak up. Everything you want to say, the things you’ve held back say whatever you want.” – Baek Sa-eon.

The last official K-drama that I followed in 2024 was ‘When the Phone Rings’ and let me tell you after the release of its first two episodes the next day I was hooked when my social media was filled with their edits and I decided to give it a go and loved it. So it follows the story of Baek Sa-eon, a rising politician and his mute wife, Hong Hee-joo. A tense marriage begins to unravel after a call from a kidnapper and their life turns upside down.

I loved this drama so much, especially the beginning. The vibe, the characters, the cinematography, the dialogues, the suspense, the music, everything was top-notch. It was the drama that sucked me in so fast that from the first episode, I was hooked. The plot was plotting and the chemistry was electrifying. I love how everything was very well balanced and the way each episode just sucked you in with its climax scenes.

Talking about Baek Sa-eon, I loved him from the beginning, especially the first 6 episodes. His aura makes him look so powerful and it increases the quality of drama as well. He is the green flag in disguise, he legit arranged his marriage with his wife and showed to the world and his wife that it was a contract marriage. When the revelation started to begin everything made sense and I was in awe. I think his character was written spectacularly and he has suffered a lot even though it was not his mistake.

“I lived because of you. I endured because of you.” – Baek Sa-eon.

Then we have Hong Hee-Joo. In the beginning, I thought she would be a weak character, but I was so shocked to see how she was one of the strongest characters. Her phone call version is my favourite personality of hers in the show. She deserves all the love she gets. The girl goes through a lot but in the end, gets what she always wanted. Her eyes speak so much, and her sign language makes her character beautiful.

Their chemistry was the reason I watched this show. They paired with each other so well and the actors actually looked like they were the characters in real life. I love that there is no misunderstanding between them. Baek Sa-eon when gets to know about Hee Joo understands without misunderstanding her, I liked that they focused on the main plot rather than adding unnecessary problems between the couple. I loved that in the later episodes they understood each other so much, their childhood story was just beautiful. I think they as a couple fit way too well and made the drama excellent. Their love for each other was so strong that they were ready to die for each other. This drama also had some of the best kisses in the whole K-drama trajectory.

“Why was I born? I always thought about it. If I have to live someone else’s life against my will, why was I born? But I think I found the answer to why I was born and why I had to leave as Baek Sa-eon. It was to meet you.” – Baek Sa-eon.

Talking about the plot, it was something different and thrilling. I loved the concept of phone calls, I also love that they let the thriller flow rather than adding too much. I loved the dark vibe at the beginning of the drama, the intense music and Baek Sa-eon’s expression made the drama quality more elegant and watchworthy. Also, the timing was perfect for everything, from revelation to the last episode. I loved that they did not add much family drama but focused on the leads. But then the last episode happened, if you are familiar with K-dramas ending you might know that they drag too much till the end and give only few minutes of happiness, this drama was the same. The last episode was like I watching a new drama’s first episode because it was such an out of the box happening but then they added the political issue and lost me.

Overall the drama is a must-watch, I highly recommend it.

“For once, I want to protect you. So that you never suffer or get hurt again.” – Hong Hee-Joo.

My Rating: 8/10

Live in the Present.

“Be where you are; otherwise you will miss your life.”

It is diabolical to think that we are all so busy thinking about the future that we forget to live in the present. The world has made it very clear that everyone has to work for the future, even if we have to give up our present or be sad. But why do we have to sacrifice our present for a time that has not even arrived? I always tell myself that everything in life is meant to be unpredictable, there are situations I can’t ignore and I need to accept the inevitable. I think the older I get the more I understand how much the present and its moments mean to me and it will only take a second to become the memories so I tell myself to enjoy it to the fullest. Because of overthinking, and fear about the future we miss out on the chances to live life in the present. The future is going to be okay but it has yet to arrive. But the present is in front of you, waiting for you to savour it, take the opportunity and live in the present moments. When the future arrives when things get tough to deal with at least you will have great memories and strength to fight. If you focus on the present, the future will unfold automatically. I have learned the hard way that crying over the past that is gone and being afraid of the future that is yet to arrive makes life more complicated and we try to ruin the present that is infront of us. Remember we can’t control our future no matter what, however, we have our present that is in our hands so why not take the opportunity to live in the present and make it beautiful? I have deeply realised that present moments are what I truly have, if I have to make my life beautiful and worth living then I need to live in the present.

Be present, be now, be here.
