"Keep being you, always. 💯"

 I went through something that had me feeling like I was stuck in a plot twist.

So, I was super close to one of my friends—like, meme-sharing, inside-jokes level of close. And then... poof... she just stopped texting.

Single grey tick after single grey tick. No explanation. No “Hey, I’m busy.” Just silence.


And what made it worse? She was still chatting with everyone else. But, you know, I was left in the chat's dark corner.


Naturally, I turned into an overthinking machine: “Did I send a weird meme?” “Did I accidentally say something off?” “I swear I didn’t ghost her first!”


It was exhausting. So, I went to my mom for some wisdom. And she said, “Whatever happens, don’t change who you are. Just talk to her like nothing happened. That’s how you grow.”

(Thanks, mom, for being the real MVP.)


So, I did what any emotionally drained person would do—I dove into hobbies. Watched Movies, learned baking on my own, scribbled in my journal, ate snacks... you know, the usual healing routine. Slowly, I got back to my groove.


Then, guess what? She came back. Like nothing ever happened.

And said sorry.

Now, I don’t know if I should be happy or like... did I mess up somehow?

But, nah, it wasn’t me. I realized, ghosting is just part of life. It’s like getting an “unsent message” from the universe.


So, yeah, life’s weird like that. People will come and go, and sometimes they leave without explanation—but guess what? It’s okay. You’re still gonna be fine.




Realization:


People will ghost, glitch, and come back like an old Wi-Fi connection.

But whatever happens—stay true to you. Keep doing your thing.

 Don’t let someone’s temporary silence dim your permanent vibe.

And if they apologize? Great. If not? Still, you’re killing it.

Chickenpox Diaries: 19 Days of Forced “Me-Time”

  Everything happens for a reason, right? Well, life just gave me 19 days of chickenpox leave, and trust me—it was not the kind of vacation anyone would ask for. The first 4 days? Literal hell. Couldn’t even sip water without wincing, throat burning like fire, body screaming with pain. To top it off—full-time isolation in my room. 24×7. I used to check the mirror every day, hoping the blisters would heal fast. But honestly, though I always had clear skin, I didn’t even get sad about the “connect-the-dots puzzle” on my face. My only prayer was to get rid of the throat pain and weakness. And don’t even get me started on the bland food—life had lost all taste. From day 5, things started getting better—pain faded, blisters began drying, and I could finally feel human again. But while I was fighting pox in my room, my class was living in a mini drama series. I left on a Monday after the 2nd period (two blisters + fever + body ache gave me away), and the very next day panic spread becaus...

A Weed and a Whole Lotta Wisdom

 We’ve always heard it—“there’s something to learn from everything in the universe.” And guess what? Even a weed teaches us something. Think about it. A weed? Grows on its own. Needs no fertilizers, no pesticides. Stands tall, strong, independent. A self-made lady, honestly. And what do we humans do? Uproot her. Why? Because we think she’s "useless." She’s a weed—not a flower in anyone’s vase, but a wild one who never asked for space and still found a way to grow :) But who really is? Let’s take a moment to salute her—Miss Weed. She’s not dependent. She doesn’t care for your validation. She thrives anyway. Now contrast that with us humans. We build bonds, trust people, and end up accidentally depending on them. It’s a social phenomenon, right? But when the thread of trust breaks—it’s broken. Even if we tie it back, that scar? It stays. A constant reminder of the snap. And that’s where our inner trauma kicks in. The fear of being bandaged again holds us back from trusting anyo...

“This is your sign: being you is more than enough.”

 If you were the quiet kid growing up—the one who avoided group photos, spoke in whispers, and got asked “Why are you always so serious?”—then congratulations, we might be long-lost twins. See, being an introvert isn’t just a personality type. It’s a full-time job. Especially when society hands out badges of honor to the loudest kid in class and treats silence like a social disease. As a kid, people were always like, "Why doesn't she smile more?"—and clearly, none of them had ever heard of a resting face.I wasn’t shy—I was selectively social. Being decent in academics? Great. But if you lack social skills? Life becomes a level-99 difficulty mode. To make it worse, childhood is that beautiful time when people think mocking kids is a form of love. They’d point out everything: my teeth, my weight, my silence. As if I was a walking review page. “Can’t smile properly.” “Too quiet.” “Looks sad even while eating snacks.” Bro, I was just existing. Honestly, for some adults, teasi...
