When I was in school, I used to wonder why no one ever fell in love with me. Almost everyone had a crush on one or the other and I was kind of the one who others never fell in love with. I always used to wonder why this happened. Was I not attractive enough(shit, I cannot even believe I thought this), didn't anybody really wanted to know me?Why wasn't I loved by anyone? Why didn't anybody wanted to have a crush on me ? :( (plight of a girl who was just growing up). Maybe many of you had thoughts like that in your mind,when you were growing up.( don't tell me I am the only, I'm trying to be real and raw here). Many years  have passed since then and my ideas and ideals have changed. I have seen many jumping at the sight of somebody telling them they had a crush on them, not really knowing the person.  I think it was a privilege to be loved by someone or that it was validation that you have reached somewhere( even though I don't know where). If I could tell myself...

I recently went on a trip. I decided to go because I wanted to see different places and to get inspired. I had a love hate opinion about the trip half way through it. I had decided to find almost everything that was wrong about it ,for me. I learned that nobody have to be nice to you or help you and that you shouldn't expect anything in return. I took it knowing that I was going to be alone in this and I have to take care of myself. But I was entirely wrong about all of that. I came home with many wonderful experiences, memories and adventures. I learnt more about myself and others. I learnt about the different places. I wish I could go back in time and relive it all again. I learned that I missed my family terribly and I'm terrible at outdoor activities and next time I would learn to pack more efficiently. I guess that's all for today. Hope you all had a wonderful day.

                        We are constantly in motion. Running, chasing dreams. And the midst of these motions we forget to appreciate the journey, the places that we have reached, the life that we have built and all these passes us by like a blur. And even though the blur is beautiful, clarity is amazing. We forget just to  pause and live in the moment. This, right now is all that we have, embrace that and move on, continue with your everlasting lust for chasing your dreams because you are to go places. Pause and reflect for a bit. You are nearly there. Don't worry.
