(via We will never be happy...)

Life is unfair, we all know that, and it’s okay to complain about it; however, will it change anything? Yes, we might feel better, and it’s totally fine to pour out our feelings, but until when?

When something happens in my life out of the sudden, I always ask myself after panicking, what’s worse that could happen? And I remember all my old times when I dealt with so many things, and I survived, which is the biggest thing. I have learned that we humans always think first so negatively that it takes all of our energy to think positively. As an adult, I have learned that I have to make my life however I want it to be, tough, but that is what life is all about; life will never be easy until we stop overthinking it.

Life will drag you across the dirty roads, but it is you who will stand up, shrug off that dirt and carry forward. When I realised the facts about me and how much I overthink things, the sudden realisation happened when I got the chance to be happy in my life. We will never be happy if we overlook things that we already have. No human has everything; there are certain aspects that everyone lacks, but what about those things that we have, like the privilege to sleep, just the smallest thing that we take for granted?

Life is not only about achieving things but also appreciating what we already have. We will never be happy if we look at the negative side of life. Life is unfair, but it is you who will make it fair for yourself. If you think that life will automatically become fair, you are in serious denial; you have to work for it. I know it is hard, but you are the strongest soldier out there who knows exactly what they want, so go for it, otherwise, you will never be happy…

Some poor phoneless fool is probably sitting by a waterfall somewhere totally unaware of how angry and scared he's supposed to be.

Update

Hey everyone! Just a quick update to let you all know that I’ll be taking a little break from posting reviews for a while. Exams are coming up, and I need to focus on studying. I’ll be back with new content as soon as I can, but for now, my attention has to be on the books(unfortunately textbooks). Thanks for sticking around, and I’ll see you soon. 😊📚

Taking Time to Heal: A Personal Reflection

Tomorrow’s stream won’t be happening. I’ve got to step away from the screen, from the noise, and take a moment to breathe in a different way. I’m heading out to visit my dad’s resting place. It’s something I haven’t done in a while, and I’ve been avoiding it. Maybe “avoiding” isn’t the right word—more like “not being strong enough.” You get it, right? Sometimes you just need to give yourself the space to feel what you feel, and right now, that’s a lot.

Ramadan, for my family, is always tough. It’s a mix of emotions we try to juggle every year, and this time, it feels heavier than usual. You see, my dad passed away right after Ramadan, during Eid. So every year, right around the time we should be celebrating, we’re reminded of that absence, that empty chair at the table. It’s like the pain gets amplified, and while the rest of the world is filled with joy and gratitude, we’re just trying to hold it together.

Talking to my mom over the phone today, I could hear it in her voice. She was holding back tears too. It’s hard not to. Every visit to my dad’s grave is a reminder of what we’ve lost, and no matter how much time passes, it always hits like a wave.

This year, I’m taking a pause. I need this break. I’ll be away from everything for a bit, spending some quiet time with my mom. We’re going to stay with my sister for a while after Ramadan, just to be with each other, to heal in the only way we know how. Sometimes you just need that- time with family, time to reflect, time to let the grief flow and make its way through you.

I’m sharing this with you guys because sometimes it’s important to remember that it’s okay to take a step back. It’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to feel heavy. It’s okay to not be okay. And it's okay to take time to heal, whether it's with your family, or alone, or however it comes to you.

So, I’ll see you when I see you. I’ll be back when the time feels right, but for now, I’ve got to do this for me, for my family, and for the memory of my dad. Peace, love, and all the things that make us human

Taking a break

Like many others, I’m going to be taking a break. Probably not for the same reasons though. I just had about a month-long episode and my stalk pile of posts has run out. To be clear, I have a vague Idea of what happened with the election. However, I’ve been avoiding it like the plague and keeping myself in a bubble so I don’t slip back into another episode. Regardless of the outcome, I hope everyone is treating others with respect.

(via Pause)

Taking a break is so important that we often think it’s like wasting our time, but no, because just like physical being is important, our mental state also needs a rest. Ironically, we are so busy in life that we have to think about taking a break from our routine. Obviously, it is not easy to just say and the mind will shut down, but think about it in a way by asking yourself questions about how much you need it. Everything needs a reset, the same with your mind and body.

When we continue to do work in auto mode, we become tired and drained, the life starts to become more stressful than it already is. That is why pausing is very important as it helps you enjoy your life, and you can take a deep breath peacefully. What does pause actually mean?

According to me, having a big breakfast without hurrying to get back to work, taking a slow walk to a favorite cafe or bookstore, or maybe just sleeping and watching FRIENDS. Things that bring you happiness from inside that will help you rebuild your vision for life are why taking a pause is important. Remember, in life, we have to look far ahead, so taking a pause in between will help you reach it slowly but happily. Sp of you were thinking of taking a pause but are unable to just do it and you will thank yourself later.

So nice to make something not relating to the specific body of work I'm currently busy with. Sometimes it's nice to just play with the material you love most, and make art just for the sake of making.
