Day 3 of finding my cutie 🤍

I care about you, not about what people say. I am thinking about you, not about what people are thinking about me. I just want you to be here. And one day we gonna post over here telling all these critics that "We waited for each other and put down the efforts by posting here even when we had not met" I love you 3000🤍

She left me.

I always looked at her and felt she is so beautiful, charismatic, and had an infectious smile. Looking at her made me smile broo. Chapter 1 One day I decided to ask her out. I messaged her and our conversation grew then she spilled out that she also liked me a lot. And she was glad that I asked her out. Chapter 2 She had studied in an all girls school and she had a stereotype about boys that they are all stupid and bad. And girls and boys should never be together. I was fine because atleast she liked me 😂. One fine day she asked me to break up with my brosss. I asked her why? She said your friends are all playboys and I don't like the way they look at me. (Disclaimer: My bros are really nicest guys and I have known them since childhood they are the best gentlemen). We had an argument which didn't end on a good note. Chapter 3 I left to a new state for my Job. After I reached there she messaged me that we can't talk and we have to stop whatever we had. I got anxious and worried and spent my 5 months not being able to contact her. I got into depression. Then me being restless on my birthday I came back to my hometown. At exactly 11:59PM when my bday was going to end she messaged me "Happy Birthday". I was so happy to see her message. Chapter 4 We started talking and she said that she is leaving to Canada for her higher studies. I was happy for her but at the same time I was sad. I didn't want to see her go. We both cried and stayed on call till morning watching each other sleep. Chapter 5: She reached Canada and she completed her formalities and procedures. We talked for few more days but then eventually she started giving me hints that she is not interested. Then one day she abruptly messaged me and said we can't talk and we have to end everything. I cried the whole night, because there was no way for me to contact her and she had blocked me. Chapter 6: It has been 1 yr to that day. Somehow I have gone numb. I'm slowly forgetting her.

Don't read if you believe in "dreams"

The past year has been the best! I'm engaged to my long-term partner, making the first person I loved, my last. I'm working in my dream company and dream role I've finally moved out and have a healthy distance from my controlling family I wish I could say all of the above but you know what they say "You plan. God laughs' My life has become a joke. After years and years of nurturing my relationship and working on myself, I've achieved nothing personally or professionally. Being an overthinker, I'd detail everything from plan 'A' to plan 'Z' to ensure my dreams come true. I had an extraordinarily amazing relationship but when it came down to marriage he didn't have time to even think about it. I have a brilliant resume filled with distinction grades, extracurriculars, and leadership roles, and yet I couldn't score an interview let alone be shortlisted for any role I wanted. With no choice, I'm stuck in a job that I absolutely hate and have no interest in! And finally, after 26 years of living with my family and growing up to be a responsible adult and doing everything and more, they ask me, they still think the worst of me, call me names, hardly acknowledge my presence, and make me feel guilty for barely living my life. I'm honestly so emotionally drained and feel like my whole life has been a struggle, hoping for things to get better someday. But all I feel is stuck. Everyone around me is moving on with their lives - getting married, moving to a new city/country, getting roles in dream companies and I'm nowhere close to anything I want. Being a practical and logical person I would usually not take advice from random strangers on the internet but I'm keeping an open mind and I'd love to hear your thoughts on my depressing life! 💔 People below 25 yrs don't bother commenting, unless you want to start a crowd fund for my therapy. P.S. The last para is a joke. Don't come at me about it in the comment section. I do need therapy though, but can't afford it. Not from an experienced psychologist at least.

Let's do this zindagi!

These are my thoughts that go through my head as I work towards a healthy and happy life. I wrote them down to never forget them, and come back to them whenever I lose sight. I am sharing this here in hopes that this might help someone else too, as a lot of us are going through something or the other since we got into adulthood. This is written in first person, so read it as something you are telling yourself :) ---------------------------------------------- It happened, it's in the past. There is nothing that I can do to change it. I can only learn and grow from my mistakes, from the wrongs that happened to me. I can change where I am, how I am and how I live my life. I have that power, and no one can take that away from me. . This time would never come back. If I don't like how my life is today, my standing, then I need to work on changing it. I need to ponder on the question "Do I want to be at this same place a few months down the road?" Yes, I am talking about months and not years, because if I don't like where I am today, I shouldn't be liking it ever, and it doesn't have to take a long time for me to realise this. . I won't ever have everything figured out, such is the nature of life. It's not a script; instead it is unscripted and spontaneous. There would always be something new, something that would demand my attention, something that is unfamiliar and uncertain, and I have to learn to live in the flow of it all. . I don't know where I am going, what will happen, what life has in store for me. I don't know anything, but isn't that beautiful? That this is that mysterious book, whose pages turn with time. But at the same time it isn't a mystery at all because what would happen to me would be the result of my work and efforts, at least to some extent, to the extent where things are under my control. . And if something went out of control in the past, till when should I punish myself over it? Till when should I keep doubting myself, keep being afraid? I am wiser now, and my future self would be too. I need to have faith in myself and believe that I am going to make the right decisions. I have a sensible head on me; I am intelligent, and aware. . Also, what is going to happen is unknown, uncertain, so why do I keep forgetting my own words? That I am not afraid of failing, rather I am afraid of not trying. Let's never forget it ever again. Let's do this life right, let me do right by myself. Let me live this life to the fullest. Let me gift myself the life I would be proud of having lived when I take my final breath and leave this world behind. Let me be present. Let me do it all and more. Let me squeeze life in the tightest of hugs that I could ever give, and not be the first one to let go. Let life let go of me when it's time. So until then, let's do this zindagi!
