The Power of Self-Love!

Have you ever felt like you were in seventh heaven when you found out you matter to someone??... It doesn't always have to be a lover.

– Be it an affirming statement from your friend ("You are the best friend I ever had...") (You’ll be like... Hell yeah!! Who else can tolerate your bullshit if it's not me? 😁),

– Or a little word of appreciation from your boss ("You have done a great job!!"),

– Or those cheesy lines from your parents 😂 ("Of all the things I have done, I will always be proud to be your father!!")...

Those clammy palms, that jittery, squirmy, ticklish feeling in your stomach, that over-the-moon sensation of knowing you are being valued... ❤️

Unconditional love is something all of us crave, but unfortunately, most people never really experience it... (The closest feeling they might get is the love of their beloved pet...)
Ever wondered why some people are mean and judgmental about your decisions? I have personally come across so many people who don't love (or value) themselves—and they take out the way they feel about themselves on others...

Being selfless starts with you! The more you respect and love yourself, the more you will open up your wings to love and respect others...

I am writing this in a public forum, knowing the fact that most people will judge—as they always do—but a few may find something they can connect to, assuring them that they are not alone...

Despite being optimistic and happy about life always,
There were days when I never felt like getting out of bed...
There were days when I just didn’t want to talk to anyone...
There were days when I just wanted to escape from the so-called society and drama...
There were days when I just wanted to punch some fake people in their faces 😄...

...

I don't call it "depression" as it's popularly portrayed... It's just "normal"—because we live in an era where you're expected to be competitive even before you're born. The fact is, we all hit a low phase, and self-love can help you phase out of the phase and resurface once again with all the energy you might need...

Self-love is not always selfish... I prefer to think of it as a feeling of self-respect and self-worth.
Loving oneself doesn't mean developing a shell and blocking out the world...
It doesn't necessarily mean having an ego so big that no one else can fit into a room with you...
It doesn't mean foregoing relationships because you enjoy being with yourself...
It means becoming comfortable with who you are, how you look, or whatever...

No one is perfect... I'm saying that out loud once again: I am flawed. You are flawed.
It's about how we deal with our imperfections. Just stop beating yourself up over what you did or didn’t do...

Believing in self-worth has really helped me sail through some bad phases of life...
I know it's challenging, but once you begin to trust more in yourself, you'll expect less from others.
And when you don't expect, you’ll start noticing the little things that might bring you immense joy...

You are valued. You are unique.
(Even identical twins don't share a common fingerprint...)
So are your problems...
Each one of us has been given a different question paper—don’t try to fill it with someone else’s answers.
Solve yours, even if it takes time :)

Bye...
Until we speak again...

10 Silly Things We All Secretly Do (But Would Never Admit Out Loud!)

Hello everyone!! I hope everything is going well for you and everyone you know! Well, my last post was during the pre-COVID-19 times. After not writing anything for nearly 2.5 years, I’ve decided to dust off my blog. So, let’s begin with a funny one! Sometimes, nothing beats the solace of your own company. And interestingly, some of our most unusual behavior happens when we’re alone. It's a completely judgment-free zone—no pressure to show off, no unmet expectations, no strange looks as you spew nonsense into the void. In fact, what we do is so random, we don’t really talk about it. Ever. Not even in a game of truth or dare. And you know what? It’s probably better that way. 😂 So go ahead, take off your goodie-goodie masks for the next few minutes and let’s be raw, real, and brutally honest—with no one but ourselves. Get ready to grin, as you realize that when it comes to things we do but won't admit, we’re all the same. 😋😀 1. Cringing at your own voice That moment when...

Bride's Best friend : Behind the Scenes, Beside the Heart

Warning: Grab your tissues—you might cry! Millennials are going through a worse emotional turmoil… If you're in your mid or late 20s, you've probably been invited to a number of weddings. You attend some excitedly, some dutifully, and most with no interest ( Oh come on! 😋 ) But when it’s your best friend’s wedding, it hits differently—a mixed bag of emotions. (You cry! You laugh! You squeal! You panic... and what not!) It’s an awkward phase because you don’t really know how to process it. The moment she reveals the news, you might be more excited than anyone she’s told—maybe even more excited than her. Your best friend is getting married. Like, actually married. Squealing with excitement, you want to know every single detail… But life isn’t that simple, right? So you start staring into empty space and walk down memory lane… Panic mode: activated. Your mood swings become 30x faster than a rifle bullet. ( Nah!! I’m not bipolar 😄 ) And your mind? More unstable than...

Whispers in Red: Stop the Shhh!

Girl 1 : My back hurts a lot—and so does my head! Girl 2 : Why? What happened? Girl 1   (whispers slowly) : I have my period.  Hush-hush...  Not only men, but even women often shy away from speaking about menstruation. Many women experience the  “walk of shame”  while carrying sanitary pads. During my school days, I too carried a pad wrapped in newspaper, shielded by friends—as if I was smuggling something dangerous. That’s because most of us were taught to keep menstruation a  “secret.” Almost every woman reading this has experienced some form of alienation during their period. Some of the bizarre practices I have heard from friends range from mild (like  “don’t bathe or wash your hair,” “don’t touch pickles, yogurt, or plants” ) to severe forms of exclusion ( separate utensils, bans on entering the kitchen in their own homes ).  Menstrual taboos may or may not stem from patriarchy, but they do  suppress women . Each practice is often backe...
