Things you should be proud of
The journey we stride upon pivots around the focal point of believing in ourselves. We do not need to know everything and have it all figured out. The only thing that we need is the belief that no matter what life throws our way, we will be able to handle it with grace, courage and confidence. For the ones who have recently entered their adulthood, we live in the paradigms of uncertainty, societal pressure, of not knowing what we want out of what we have. The voices of self-doubt and anxiety loom over us, telling us we are not enough. But I hope you remind yourself that you are worthy of your wildest passions and truest desires. Everything that you yearn for will seek you when the time is right.

To my friend, soulmate and prince Chandler
To my friend, soulmate and prince Chandler Dear Matthew Perry, Life is a whirlwind of highs and lows, of tracing the memories that our existence forged in. It is a ride that plonks us into the most undesirable and unlikely of events that make us into who we are today. To be or not to be the ones we are, we are always left with the question of how happy we are with what we have and what we can be at the blink of the midnight when we lie drawing unfiltered conversations with our thoughts. Those are the nuances that belie our true selves, telling us about our honest and deepest desires, our most darkest and hostile parts. As we grow up, all we want is peace, a set of people whom we can call our own and a life filled with passion and hard work. Life is merrier when you have people who make you laugh and who stand by you by even seeing the worst in you.

The Beauty of Contrast
I cannot fathom the reason why. Why is beauty synchronised with the exterior of a being? The plasticity of existence is its lustred surface that glows with a false sense of pride. We are all fragmented pieces of stars disseminating our light into the world that crashes the very essence of stability in our life. We have to pay a hefty price for living in this world, for every smile we wear we have to sacrifice a moment to enjoy another. Validating your own experiences is an integral part of healing. When you embrace every event of your life and liberate yourself from your past. That’s when the magic starts.

We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet.
We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet. Let’s be true to ourselves, this is the stance of millions worldwide. We all have made our New Year resolutions and have faltered in our discourse of being consistent and true about it. To be consistent in your stance, you need clarity and focus on what you are headed towards, when the head is lost in aimless directions of what should be, we lose our sight of what we are and where we should be headed. In absolute honesty, I too was directionless in the first 6 months of my existence in 2024. To give you more insight into my journey here is my account of the first half of 2024-

Eclipsed Memory: Guardians Of Unity
Itsukari awoke to the dim, flickering light of phosphorescent crystals embedded in the walls of a cavern. His head throbbed with a dull pain, and a cold sweat clung to his skin. He tried to piece together any shred of memory but found nothing. No name, no past, no reason for being here. As he sat up, the cave's ceiling loomed above, adorned with intricate stalactites that sparkled faintly.

Savages
Can we become a bit Kafka-esque. Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was a German-language novelist and writer from Prague. He is widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. Kafka's work has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include the novella The Metamorphosis and novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe absurd situations like those depicted in his writing.
