11:11 PM (life updates, changes, is it happening?)

-


It's been  9 months since I last posted my blog.

What happened in these nine months, for starters, I started working on my goal in silence, took a trip to the states, spent time with my family which felt like it happened in the blink of an eye although it was for a little over a month, came back and started to pack. 


This is what I wanted, but lately I've been feeling bittersweet about this. There are certain instances when I look at something, as though a third person were watching this scenario and I almost bawl that I am not going to experience this for a while. The sheer amount of  warmth and love your loved ones can make you feel is almost indescribable. But the cinephile in me reminds me that "kahin pe pahunchne ke liye kahin se nikalna bahut zaruri hota hai. sahi waqt pe kat lena chahiye, nahi toh gile shiqwe hone lagte hai”



which roughly translates to "To reach somewhere, it is very important to leave from somewhere. It should be cut at the right time, otherwise complaints start to arise." 

This convinces me that it is time for the next step, a necessary one. 

I've lived and enjoyed familiarity, time for the uncomfortable.

I'm moving to Ireland for an year to pursue my master's. 

After working for a little lesser than two years, I hoped that it would pay off for the next step (metaphorically and literally)


When you work for something in silence, you almost whisper it into existence. It won't happen the way you want and when (didn't with me) but it will be for the better. Although you might not see it as a blessing then, but in retrospect you will see it oh so clearly.

It isn't going to be a cakewalk, I know it. But I am choosing it, living with regrets isn't the way to be, if you have the means, even if there is a little scope, give it a shot.



"You can either sit where you are and imagine where the other road takes you or actually take it and see for yourself"

This is a sign for you to work on your next move.

It is 11:11PM.

make a wish, make it happen.

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
