DID YOU FIND YOUR BLUE MOON?

"Once in a blue moon" - that's how I'd describe my journey in life so far. I'm no expert or psychologist, but I'll share what I've learned from my own experiences. My past self was quite the wild child, but life had a way of bringing me back down to earth. 

Here are a few tips that helped me evolve into a better person:

1. Keep your inner circle small. I used to be an extrovert with a large circle of friends, but life taught me the importance of quality over quantity. A single friend who treats you well is worth more than a hundred acquaintances.

2. Know when to hold your tongue. I used to have a short fuse and would always be ready to fight. But as I grew older and took on more responsibilities, I learned that sometimes it's better to step back from a heated situation and avoid a fight. Saying sorry is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of maturity.




3. Keep your mind occupied. During the Covid pandemic, I had too much free time and my mind started to wander into negative territory. So I made a conscious effort to keep myself busy and avoid overthinking.

4. Find your own form of meditation. For me, it's writing or listening to music. But everyone is different, so find what brings you peace and stick with it.

5. Bad days are just part of life. Don't overhype them. Every day has its ups and downs, so just keep grinding and pushing through. Don't let failure or success get to your head.

So, my friends, don't let the packaging of life fool you. Always see the material inside; is it worth it? Is it qualitative? And most importantly, don't settle for a life scenario; make it settle for you. It may seem twisted, but trust me, it will lead you to a more fulfilling life. And if all else fails, just remember that laughter is the best medicine. So, find joy in the little things and keep that passion for life burning bright! I could go on and share more life lessons, but I'll spare you the lecture. These are just some of the lessons I have learned from my own blue moon experiences. I hope they inspire you to reflect on your own life and find your own path to personal growth.

OTHER'S SUCCESS STING THEN YOU OWN FAILURE

Let me ask you something: Have you ever felt that sharp, hot twist in your gut when someone else’s victory feels like a personal defeat? Like life handed them a golden ticket while you’re stuck holding a “try again later” scratch-off?   Yeah. Me too.   Let’s rewind. Picture this: It’s 3 AM. My laptop screen casts a ghostly glow as I stare at my 27th internship rejection email. The reason? “ Your three-month availability doesn’t align with our needs.” Translation: We want someone who’ll stick around long enough to memorize the coffee orders . I’m fresh out of graduation, armed with a master’s degree pursuit and a three-month void of what now? So, like any rational human, I do the thing. I open LinkedIn.   Big. Mistake.   Suddenly, my feed is a highlight reel of everyone else’s wins. Dia at Google. Faiyaz launching a startup. Emma's doing “meaningful work” in Bali (with a sunset backdrop, of course). My screen screams, Look at them thriving while yo...

I mean, sure, I have my bad days, but then I remember what a cute smile I have - Chandler Bing

 An average individual overthinks roughly 60,000-80,000 thoughts per day. Fascinating fact isn't it. Which are healthy according to some well-known researchers.  So now you all might be wondering what's my scratch here. Well well, you know every coin has two faces so does overthinking. One of the good is, if the person notes down in his journal it would be one of the greatest invaluable assets he can ever have, sadly most of the people don't and are missing the charisma of it. So if you are reading my blog then do start writing your good overthinking, you will thank me later for it. and now the other side - bad, which is like an onion; Once you start overthinking our mind starts peeling off the layer one after the other leading to inescapable possibility which just makes us sad, like terrifically low it can make a person ushering to some unintentional mindless conclusion.  Which I am sure no one wants to experience in life but sadly at some point one confronts it. I am pr...

SITUATION ARE DIVERSE, ANXIETY ISN'T...

 Lockdown molded me on how to binge web series on a loop...and frankly speaking if you see web series in a loop, we too become part of their genre. Now you might be presuming why am I talking about Web series as it doesn’t even rhyme the title...well let me explain when you are watching a series you are intellectually into that as it keeps you engaging... For example, let’s take Horror as a genre you are watching for hours, your brain had grasped that content like a sponge, and after finishing the series your mind is in a loop, and for a while, you feel an unusual kind of weird anxiety either some fear yet there's been nothing altered yet the vibes you are feeling is not real. You look still a bit confused let me give you a realistic example, suppose you are scrolling SOCIAL MEDIA and while scrolling you view a video in which the puppy has been brutally beaten, flogged him or at some set of the level you might even see some mortals are burning the puppy alive, you are watching that...
