As the days turn into years, our dreams and aspirations for life continue to evolve. In my youth, I welcomed the thrill of being the first to love, but as time has passed and wisdom has grown, I now yearn for the serenity of being chosen first. The journey of always giving more has left me weary.

In the quiet reflection of recent failures, I’ve chosen to step back, trusting in patience and seeking solace in the universe’s guidance. Despite past heartaches, my desire for a meaningful, lasting relationship remains unwavering. It is not selfish to crave such companionship; it is a testament to my hope and resilience.

Now, I surrender to the universe and my own tenacious heart, eagerly awaiting the person who will bring joy and fulfillment into my life. Whether this encounter becomes a love story for the ages or remains an unfulfilled wish, I embrace the journey ahead with both anticipation and gratitude.

The people, many of whom I’ve held onto steadfastly, I would actually prefer letting them go if that’s what they truly desire.

The notion of clinging on and never giving up is often romanticized, but sometimes, for the sake of peace and harmony, one must release their grasp. Letting go of the chains, the invasive thoughts, and the toxic remnants of the past—though never the lessons learned—is essential. And sometimes, it means letting go of people too, especially if they no longer wish to share our lives and their presence feels burdensome.

Letting go is far from simple. It requires strength beyond measure, a continuous process of striking at walls until they crumble to rubble, liberating the mind, body, and soul from the confines that bind us.

I wish I find my cue for liberation, and that you find yours too!

Most of us rely on gadgets that need recharging from time to time. But have you ever considered that you can’t keep charging them beyond 100%? It’s a limit they reach, a signal that it’s time to unplug. This analogy holds true for life events too.

When we reach our own limits, where continuing would only lead to things breaking down irreparably, that’s when we must find the courage to pull the plug and let go.

Whether it’s a device or a relationship, endings are inevitable, no matter how much it pains us emotionally, no matter how deeply we cherish the connection or yearn for it to continue. Sometimes, stepping away is the only way to prevent further harm, even though it feels like tearing out a piece of our heart.

Navigating these decisions is never easy—whether in life, in love, or in pursuing our passions—but recognizing when it’s time to unplug can be the bravest and most compassionate choice we make for ourselves and others involved.

I can’t possibly recount every single thing that has made me laugh throughout my life, but lately, I’ve found myself laughing more than ever!

First and foremost, my colleagues are an endless source of joy. We’re like a close-knit group of friends, always finding humor in the smallest things. Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face, and I often find myself chuckling as I reminisce!

Then there’s the timeless humor of ‘The Big Bang Theory’. It never fails to lift my spirits and leave me in stitches.

And let’s not forget the hilarious rumors people spread about me! They’re so wildly imaginative that they’re simply comical. Whoever comes up with them must have a talent for comedy!

Last but certainly not least, there’s this guy I’ve been getting to know. We’ve become such good friends that we’re constantly trading witty banter and sharing inside jokes. Our conversations are filled with laughter, and sometimes I find myself laughing out loud in public!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have so much laughter and happiness in my life. These people and moments truly brighten my days!

Technology is at the core of my job, and as it advances, the challenges in investigation also grow.

When I reflect on all my past roles and the impact of technology, especially in monitoring and tracking, it’s clear how much easier it has made these tasks. There’s now little room for errors or oversights. The ease with which one can observe people nowadays is remarkable.

Almost all the time since I have evolved to be what I am today, I can say for sure that I say “no” whenever and wherever required. Because there were times when I let a lot of things distract and derail me from my path, goals and aspirations just becausei didn’t have the balls to say NO to lot of toxicity. And so I have worked on those behaviors to value me and my goals more than ever in the past.

This may come off as selfish for many, but I would prefer to say it as self love and self value, which paves the path for self actualization.

Who else have we got than ourselves?

If I don’t stand up for me, no one else will.

Forget or Forgive ?

The ability to act like things never happened, the skill of forgetting and forgiving people easily. Maybe that would have made things easier and I would have been at peace at times when my mind was screaming.

If I were to get that ability I would forgive most of the instances and wrongdoings just for the selfish satisfaction of attaining the calmness mentally.

There are a lot of scars to undo. Lot of band-aids.

I prefer it when the dark clouds cloud everything possible, making even the sun disappear. Those heavy skies with cool breeze before the showers hit the soil is a divine enjoyment for me.

I love it and I get all comfy physically, mentally and dwell deep to the corners of my thought chain with the privilege of the weather.

All I long for at such times is a coffee and a company, the both ‘C’s are a drug and the weather makes the longing unbearable.
