2018: The Year That Was

It feels like forever since I wrote something. I guess i just let my procrastination rule over me. But I have been missing this.

I was supposed to write a lot about college and life but ironically didnt write a single blog after joining college. 

I hope you guys missed me. xD

So, since this will be the last post of the year, I am gonna talk about the same. 

2018 is this close to getting over and I can proudly say it was the most happening year of my life. 

From school's farewell to board exams, from the uncertainty of admission to finally getting into a college, from not knowing how am I gonna make friends to finding people as crazy as me, the year was anything but boring. 

And the one lesson that I learned was that life definitely has a way of figuring everything out. 

You can fret and worry about everything and yet when everything falls into place, all you will do is sit back and see how it happens. 

All you need is a little faith that all that happens is for the best and you are good to go. 

And if anything, this is the most comforting thought of it all. Even if you think your progress isn't at par with  the rest of the world, even when you feel like you don't know what tomorrow will bring, just hold on. It always always always gets better. 

There's so much love and kindness in this world, but you won't get it if you outright seek it. The more you give it to others, the more it will affect your life. 

The world is your canvas. Dont let others paint it for you. 

Ps- I am looking for some inspiration for new year resolutions. Please tell me in comments or DM me if you have any interesting ideas for the same. xD

Life: choice is yours!

Honestly, nothing gives your self esteem a bigger blow than seeing somebody else's successful life on social media. People become stars overnight.. maybe within a wink of the eye( you get the reference, obviously xD)

What is the reason for lack of attachments in our generation from the people around them ? Why do we keep jumping from one distraction to another ? Why trends last only as long as a night ? But still not knowing about the newest trending meme makes you sound like you have been living under a rock ?

Every new book about that flawless beauty or that unbeatable billionaire or that genius from one of those prestigious colleges sells.

But ask yourself this: Are only pretty people or rich people or people with an insanely cool resumé the ones who ever live an interesting life? 

Hell no!!

And if and when somebody raises the question about the need of being human instead of perfect, it is always accompanied by 'social acceptance' . Sample this: 'People with low self esteem need social acceptance.' Hell, kiski acceptance ? Arrey kaun hai yeh 'social acceptance' dene wale ?

So basically, being a normal flawed human being is not IN VOGUE anymore.

It is necessary to keep moving ahead, to achieving newer and better things in life.. but is it sane that our vision of success and happiness is clearly determined by the standards set up by lives of people on the internet ? By people you have never met and have no idea of how they are in real life ?

Your life will remain mediocre as long as you continue to believe that you deserve it.

Stop Existing and Start Living

You keep saying you love stability, you like everything in order, calm is your way of life. But the question is who are you fooling ? The world? 

Or yourself?

Just because you were led into believing you were made into a disaster  because of your thirst for storms, you decided to shut yourself up. And now you walk away instead of fighting. 

What you don't realise is that your thirst for storms is not as superficial as you think it is. You crave for chaos from the very core. Because easy is boring. You are made for disorder. Don't make your temporary love for stability a way of life.

So let yourself dream again. Let yourself unleash the storms you are meant to experience.

Value your peace of mind. But start questioning the definition of CALM. Because it doesn't always mean inactivity and no participation. For some it means being in the middle of experiencing the biggest secrets that this universe hides.

But this won't be easy. Not after your mind has got comfortable in your fake realm of tranquility. But it will be worth it. So step out. The God (or whatever invisible force is out there) is waiting for you to take your shot at life.

Because souls like yours are meant to write unforgettable stories.
