Delusional or hopeful?

 

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”


Oh, it is so tough to walk away from the fine line of turning hope into delusion. The most commonly used phrase in the present day is “delulu is the solulu” but, is it? Well, it is not, but can lead to a high level of confidence and hope. Well, the question is how? Try to remember the incident when you thought you could ace the exam by studying all night over one run through with the syllabus, it motivated you to study and you did which led to acing the test. Then, when you thought you could confidently ask your crush out by writing a letter with your beautiful handwriting and it will make the person fall for you and it does work out but damn, only for a moment. And, when you confidently tell your teacher she is wrong, thinking she will appreciate you in front of everyone but it does not help and leads to you making a fool of yourself, well, that is how the fine line works. 


As long as you are aware of the reality and then making assumptions to make things work, it is understandable and pretty rational. It is when you become unrealistic and start planning things differently than what evidence is in front of you, it starts to get difficult and makes you a dreamer or delusional. Knowing when to limit your confidence and seeing what stands ahead of you makes a big difference. Yes, it will work out if you believe in it strongly but for that you need to have a strong support backing it to believe in it. 


You know, hope is in fact a silly little flower that you find even in the cracks of a wall. It is just the idea of not giving up, even when things get tough, especially then. And it might take you to places you deserved to be more than you need to be because; it brings you closure to who you wish to be, sometimes, it might just need a little dust of unbothered confidence and believe that you got this, even if it does sound delusional.

It’s a new beginning…

“Two steps forward and one step back is still one step forward”   It is here. The new year we have all been eagerly waiting for and also planning into. There might have been so many realizations and new goals list coming up. The new year resolutions and the trending vision board. It is like having a blank slate for yourself, you can write, draw, paint, sketch or even stick pictures of how you wish to be in the upcoming year. It does seem fascinating to imagine a year and plan for what can be done. But what seems even more exciting is doing every damn thing in the starting of the year itself.  You might have already settled into the gym membership mood or started the skincare or even started planning your days. It all feels so rushing, like adrenaline pumping through the veins with all the newness and getting things done. But do you know why it all seems tiring after a point of time? Well, that secret will stay with me for a while, but until then, let me tell you something even...

I hate myself

 "True self-care is not bath salts and chocolate cake, it's making the choice to build a life you don't need to escape from." Well, as much as I feel sad saying this, it is a very commonly spoken statement. And let me tell you, it has never helped anyone be better but rather makes you feel more low about yourself. And no, depreciating yourself as a form of motivation does not work, it makes a pattern in your head which is super unhelpful. No, it is not okay to eat unhealthy for days thinking its a form of self love, it is not okay to feed negative thoughts to your mind, it is not okay to drink too much and feel the pain is subsiding, it is not okay to drown in sad thoughts either calling it a part of life and it is not even slightly okay to have anger fits and then sit in guilt.  I am not saying it does not happen, all I am saying is that it is not helping you love or even accept yourself and just making things more unhealthy for you. But if you just do it for yoursel...

In sickness and in health

“Actions speak louder than words” The promises that we make to people are never ending. We will be there for each other; we are in love, nothing can change it or even no power can separate us. Yes, very valid and so supportive but are these only words or shown in action too? That is where the real question lies. We do show our support through words and say so many things but how much we actually work on it, that makes a difference. And you know, it gets disappointing to only hear words and not see it in action because why would you say it if you cannot do it! The way out in this is very simple, say what can be done by you. Do not make promises out of your capacity. It is okay to be there without saying it, it is okay to not buy the fanciest thing when you know the last thing you can do is pluck a flower and it is absolutely fine to not go out of the way to get things done when it is not leading to happiness for either of you. All the things you say should be in love and with genuinenes...
