Competition, responsibilities, worries,  confusion, show off, regrets, in the middle of such things , some start losing ourselves. People forget the real self they used to be and become someone else,  a different perosonality!!

I was talking day before yesterday with my old friend,  who used to be so jolly,  happy, used to make others smile,  was very strong, filled with positivity, an attitude,  to change,  to be a perfect person.
But now,  the person, I knew is lost,  lost somewhere, is filled with negativity and regrets. 

Living in the past will always give nothing but sorrows. Thinking about things beyond our control is simply waste of energy and time. We all know this,  still we think too much, live with regrets somewhere in our heart.

Don’t let situations to rule you. Stay in the present. Its better if we focus our imagination in many other things and mainly ourselves.
Don’t lose yourself,  its the biggest loss for an individual than anything. If you feel lost somewhere, sometime,  give time to yourself and try rediscovering.
As I always say life is all about loving yourself.

We take so many things for granted, our parents, friends, good people. There comes a time when we take ourselves for granted too.

In this busy life, we tend to forget what we actually want. It feels so good when we take a break,  pamper ourselves,  and do things we love. !

I was having a very busy time managing college , I had my sessional exams. I ignored myself so much during that time,  no proper food,  sleep,  and less of talking with friends. On Tuesday,  my exams got over. I decided I will spend the time myself the next day. ( It was a holiday) I gave myself a hair spa( which I needed terribly), facial,  and then danced on my favorite tracks. I was home alone.. I did cooking. After so long I talked properly to my sister and my bestfriend from school.I wrote after a long time expressing my feelings . Even though I had a sound sleep the previous night,  I slept in afternoon again, compensating for the week.  😉 🙂
It felt so good,  I was so happy that day. Sometimes we just need to spend quality time with oneself
It was the best home alone ever. Giving time to myself. 🙂
Hope I get such  me-times frequently and that I don’t avoid myself completely.

I get emotionally attached to non living things.  Yes, inanimate, lifeless things, even they have a value in my life. I care for them and don’t want my things to get lost. Well, is it wrong, caring for your things!!  I Googled regarding this, thinking I have a psychiatric syndrome which needs to be diagnosed or treated, but it’s no serious an issue and there are thousands of people like me !

Small, or big some things can have strange value, in fact attachments. Everyone has that one non living thing with which they feel attached. For me, there are many such things. The reason for attachment can be memories attached to it, or simply the long time it has been with you, or the feeling of possessiveness. I recently lost my darling pencil, I considered it lucky, and I had it since my 12th grade(for almost 4 years) All my exams, and important things I carried that pencil with me. Maybe it’s just psychological that it is lucky or it brings good. I had hopes I would get it back, I enquired for it on Whatsapp groups too !! But in vain.

People close to me knew what that pencil meant to me, and they sympathized too. Others showed concern, while there were others who laughed and mocked at me. Most of these “others” are the people who recently joined our campus, and are unaware of my complicated personality. I still made them understand. But they made a fuss about it, and kept discussing about me enquiring for a pencil. Yes I know its not something usual, but if you are not bothered, don’t bother at all . I just pity them. I also don’t like many things about many people but I don’t bitch, I respect that each individual has different opinions and personality.

Just imagine if a person cares and loves so much for non living things, gets attached to them, how much care, love, concern and affection would such a person give to other humans. I don’t even care what some people think about me in this case, because it’s their loss in spoiling relationships with a caring person. I was always helpful to all, and will be in future too. And if we go about thinking what others think about us, then we will end up pleasing none.

To the people who took my getting attached to things as a joke – Grow up, instead of laughing on others feelings and problems, Get a life of your own ! 😉  A meaningful one too 😉 ) One day you may lose something valuable too, I am sure you don’t expect others to laugh that time.

Love yourself Always 🙂

Sometimes in a very short span of time, you learn many lessons , realize many things and make new promises to yourself. I can say , the last few days , was such a time for me. Maybe , I am just thinking too much , or just spending a lot time with myself !! But whatever , I am just happy, I realized many things, it was like a “Happy Realization” week for me 😉

Some of the realizations and lessons :

• Firstly, the grass is always greener on the other side, I am truly experiencing this. All these years , I was wishing to be independent , to take care of home on my own , with full freedom , without being answerable to someone. And when I have the opportunity, I am tired in 10 days !! I want my family to be back. I realized I am more of a family person , rather than the assumption me and even my family had , that I am an extremely social animal !! Yes I am extrovert but family matters a lot to me.
• Some people cannot be as good , as you are to them. I always believed that world is not that bad a place !! But it is not all good too. Some people are mean, selfish and too calculative. I hate fake people . If a person is being fake with the world, I believe he is fooling himself first , and then the world. It’s the fake person’s loss , not ours.
• I don’t care what such “fake”  people think about me . If one is good with me , I will be like the best person they would ever meet , if I realize one was just fooling around, I will not care even a little. (Yes , I  can be mean too 😉 )
• There are few people , who love you, care for you so much , that whatever be their actions , their long term aim is just our happiness. I am glad to have such wonderful “few” people with me.
• I think a lot at times about others, helping others, that I forget helping myself ! I feel even I should start thinking at least a little about myself, if not selfishly like many people I realize do.
• Being too frank and open can lead you to trouble.
• Listening to your heart makes you feel very happy and satisfied .
• When I think I can do it, I will do it ! 🙂

And many others !!

Last but not the least , writing makes me happy. It makes me feel connected with myself ! And I missed it all these days 😉
