Don’t rely on others to make you happy.
People change. Circumstances shift. Expectations hurt.

Instead, learn to find your own little ways to enjoy life —
a walk under the sky,
a song that speaks your soul,
a dream you quietly chase,
a moment of peace you gift yourself.

Because real happiness?
It blooms within — not from someone else,
but from you.
Be your own reason to smile.
Arna 5h
Every time I gaze at the mirror,
a storm of doubts rises within me —

Am I worthy?
Am I beautiful?
Am I doing enough with my life?
Am I ambitionless?
Am I being too carefree?
Am I gaining weight?
…and so many more.

But amidst the flood of questions,
my heart gently whispers:

You are worthy.

It’s not the external beauty that defines you —
It’s your self-love,
your kindness to yourself.

Mirrors only reflect what’s visible.
But what really shapes us
is the change we choose
beyond the glass.
The mirror shows a surface; your soul reflects the truth.
Arna 22h
"Work hard and show the life you always wanted to lead to all the people around you who are confused about what you'll do in life and confusing you in reaching your aim."
Let your success speak louder than their doubts. Work hard, stay focused, and show the world the life you were always meant to lead.

Discrimination—
It didn’t begin with Varna, nor with apartheid's chains,
But within the four walls, where love should reign.
Not in the laws, or ancient scrolls,
But in whispered tones, in measured roles.

At home, it begins—subtle, sharp, and sly,
When praise is uneven, and questions fly:
"Why aren’t you fair like her?" "Why don’t you grow tall?"
As if worth is measured by looks, that’s all.

It hides behind laughter, yet cuts like a sword,
When money decides if you're cherished or ignored.
When beauty’s a ticket, and silence is gold,
And kindness is punished, while pride is bold.

We talk of religion, region, caste and creed,
Of outer divides that the papers read.
Yes, they are real, and rightly fought,
But what of the wars at home, left to rot?

What of the brother who’s called "lesser than"?
The sister mocked for not fitting their plan?
What of the friend who never speaks out,
Because love was withheld, replaced with doubt?

The world fights battles the eye can see,
But the heart bleeds in secrecy.
For no law can change a mother’s choice,
Or the unkind edge in a father’s voice.

And those who suffer, suffer alone,
With pain too quiet to be known.
No marches held, no banners flown—
Just broken spirits, fully grown.

So before we chase the global wrongs,
Let’s listen to our own home's songs.
For the worst kind of hate is the one unspoken,
And the deepest wounds are the ones left open.

"Home is where love should begin, not comparison"
Before we fight society’s evils, let’s pause and listen to the quiet injustices echoing in our own homes—where love should dwell, not comparison.
Arna 2d
Lying down under this beautiful starry night
Fills me with a quiet kind of happiness.
Alone on this silent hilltop,
A glowing lantern beside me,
My favorite book in hand —
It’s the scene I always dreamt of.
For once,
I’ve stepped away —
From responsibilities,
From the noisy world,
From people and their expectations.
Here I am,
Feeling the warmth of the lantern’s light,
Letting it remind me
That a simple, peaceful life is still possible.
This silence.
This natural breeze.
This soft glow.
This time with myself —
It’s all I need right now,
To hope again.
Sometimes, peace isn’t found in places full of people —
It’s found in a quiet hilltop, a glowing lantern, and the warmth of your own company.

Can I?
Arna 3d
I want to be your forever!!!
I know it’s not possible but…
Can I be your shoulder in your low times?
Can I be your listerner when you turned to be my radio?
Can I be your biggest cheerleader when you show your steps?
Can I turn as your photographer when you steal my heart with your beauty?
Can I be your admirer to your writings?
Atlast, can I remain to be your friend until we part our ways???
Some wishes aren’t meant to come true —
but even as silent prayers, they mean the world.
Arna 3d
"We can’t blame our fate nor the destiny everytime. Just accept everything and move forward with a smile."
Acceptance isn’t weakness —
It’s the strength to walk ahead without carrying the weight of “why me?”
Arna 4d
Nothing can make things worthless.
A failed mission cannot make technology useless.
A drought or a failed crop can never make a farmer any less.
A crumbled book cover or a torn page cannot make the book less valuable.
A not-so-good-looking dish cannot be any less in taste.
Everything has its own worth.
Even if it faces failures, gets destroyed in some ways— it remains worthy, unchanged to the eyes that know its value.
"It’s not the cracks or failures that define worth, but the eyes that see beyond them."
Arna 5d
"They call me strange.
Maybe it's because —

I'm a girl who stays home,
While others my age are out with friends,
Skipping college, traveling, clubbing,
Doing all the Gen Z things.

Because I stay quiet,
Even in moments that demand boldness,
Choosing calm over chaos.

Because I prefer simplicity over fashion trends,
Minimalism over extravagance.

Because I love classics,
And music that speaks to the soul —
Not just the charts.

Because books are my escape,
While social media is just noise.

Because I find peace in solitude,
Instead of blending into crowds.

Because I’m single,
In a generation chasing love,
And running from its complications.

Let them call me strange.
I call it being
Imperfectly perfect
In my own small,
Quiet,
Cute little world."
They say I’m strange — because I choose calm over chaos, books over buzz, and solitude over noise.
But in this little world I’ve built, I’ve found my peace.
And maybe, just maybe… strange is beautiful.
Arna 6d
I know it may be cringe but I want to dedicate you first whatever I write....
And here is one out of many for you!!

I want to be your forever...
I want to be your shoulder when you're low!!
I want to be your lap when you wanna lie down!!
I want to be your listener when you turn to be my radio!!
I want to be your biggest cheerleader when you dance!!
I want to be your admirer when you say something!!
I want to be your photographer when you get ready!!

I know I can't be forever but I want to try and I want a chance from you!!
"It might sound cheesy, but my heart’s in every word.
This one’s for you — the first of many."
Arna 6d
Don’t I deserve a caring hand to tap my head and say
“everything will be alright”?
Don’t I deserve a supporting hand to stand by my side in all times?
Don’t I deserve a listener who could understand my words?
Don’t I deserve a quick reply when I am in need?
Don’t I deserve a small appreciation for my efforts?
Don’t I deserve some encouragement in building my dreams?
Don’t I deserve some soothing words when I feel worthless of myself?
Don’t I deserve cute gestures when I feel lonely?
Atleast, don’t I deserve a person whom I can call mine?
"Sometimes it’s not about wanting too much —
just the bare minimum, from the right soul."

Temporary
Arna 6d
"Nothing lasts forever, even the people you love."
"Nothing — not even the people we love — stays forever.
But the way they made us feel, that stays a little longer."
Arna 7d
Every profession, situation, or phase of life carries its own set of complications — ones only truly known to those living through them.
Students struggle with academic stress.
Employees are haunted by deadlines.
Players carry the weight of victory and defeat.
Nations wrestle with public welfare and diplomacy.
Parents worry endlessly about their child’s future.
Teenagers silently endure the taunts of relatives.
Women face the constant glare of societal judgment.
Failures are mocked, and winners are burdened by expectations.
And every girl's family quietly bears the unspoken burden of dowry and marriage.
"Not everything we see is all there is. Behind every smile, there's a silent storm."
Arna 7d
"Make KINDNESS your purpose of life in until you find or mark your purpose."
"Until life reveals your purpose,
let kindness be your way of living."

"Sometimes, it's better to leave in between rather than to stay till the end bearing the pain."
"Not every ending is worth reaching.
Sometimes, peace begins at goodbye."

Where Peace Hides
Arna Jun 19
Where do you find PEACE?

In Dad’s comforting words?
In Mom’s handmade food?
In your sibling’s company?
In your grandmother’s lap?
In your friend’s protective nature?
In family’s quality time?
In the nature?
In Music?
In someone’s heart touching poetry?
In happy memories?
In late night talks?
In achieving your dreams?
In your partner’s arms?

In short, PEACE can be found everywhere if searched.
"Peace isn’t always found in silence — sometimes it’s in voices, in hugs, in memories, in poetry.
It’s all around, just waiting to be noticed."
Arna Jun 18
Everyone says:
“Pichi rathalu”, “Time waste”, “Just focus on your studies.”
But I say:
Writings born from pain are never random.
They carry pieces of my silence,
echoes of my battles,
and truths too heavy to speak aloud.
"They mock the scribbles, not knowing they’re survival.
Each line is a wound stitched with words."

Ours, Forever
Arna Jun 18
"The happiness given by ours, real and permanent cannot be valued in words and deeds."
"The joy we find in what's truly ours — it's timeless, wordless, and beyond measure."

Silent Brilliance
Arna Jun 17
"Sometimes,
it’s not necessary to show people in which aspect you are the best and prove that you are talented.
Some things remain precious when hidden."
"Not all light needs a spotlight. Some strengths shine best in silence."
Arna Jun 17
They call it pichi rathalu.
They laugh. Say I’m wasting time.
Say I should just focus on studies, like everyone else.

But they don’t know.
They don’t know these pages hold my pain—
not drama, not attention-seeking.
Real pain. The kind that keeps you up at 2 AM.
The kind that chokes you when you're trying to smile.

I write because if I don’t, I’ll explode.
I write because it’s the only thing that listens without judgment.
Because no one asked me,
“What happened?”
They just said,
“Be strong.”
“Move on.”
“Stop being so emotional.”

So I bleed on paper.
That’s not madness. That’s survival.

Let them call it anything.
This—
this is the only thing keeping me alive.
You call it madness. I call it surviving without anyone knowing.
Arna Jun 17
They say, “Just study, forget all this.”
But how do you forget
what saved you?

These writings—
they aren’t just thoughts.
They’re survival.
They’re scars made beautiful.

Let them call it anything...
It’s not a hobby. It’s not a distraction. It’s what kept me going.
Arna Jun 16
They call it pichi rathalu,
a waste of ink and time.
But they don’t see the tremble in my hands
when I hold a pen,
or the storm I quiet
by pouring pain into lines.

Each word I write
is a cry I never screamed,
a tear I never showed,
a wound I stitched
with syllables no one dared to read.

To be continued...
They call it madness. They don’t see the pain behind the pen.
Arna Jun 15
He need not bring us luxuries,
As he never failed to fulfill our needs even without asking;
He need not be taking us on holiday,
As the quality time he spends with us is more than enough;
He may not take us to restaurants often,
As his handmade dosas never fail to taste delicious;
He may not be fashionable and trendy,
As he never judged our fashion sense;
He need not give us valuables,
As he gave us enough value education;
He may not be by our side always,
As he taught us well to stand on our own feet and to face the society;
He may not hold power in the community,
As he earned immense respect with his kindness and ethics;
He may not teach us how to make money;
As he never forgot to teach us how to save it;
He may not work in a reputed organization,
As all he care about is his family and not money or his career growth;
He may not be expressive,
As we can witness it in his actions;

He may not be anything as he is everything for us!!
And admiring his contribution may take my whole life.

I may never express to him how much I admire him, care for him and love him;
But one fine day, I will convey him how much his happiness means to me through my success.
Not all heroes wear capes—some wear simple shirts, carry the weight of the world silently, and smile when you succeed.
This is for him—the father whose love is unspoken but deeply felt.
The one who gave us everything while expecting nothing.
One day, I’ll show him what his silent sacrifices meant—through my success, and my strength.
Arna Jun 15
I believe in self-love.
I believe we shouldn’t depend on others for happiness.
But in the long run, we all need someone—
Someone who admires our efforts,
Someone who showers love and care,
Someone who stays loyal,
Someone who lifts us when we fall,
Someone to lean on—when self-care isn’t enough.

Is it too much to ask for just that?
Self-love is strength. But connection is survival. Even the strongest hearts sometimes long for another to lean on.
Arna Jun 14
"Small things bring huge SATISFACTION."
It's not always grand success or big achievements that bring peace.
Sometimes, it's a warm hug, a kind word, a quiet evening, or a cup of chai.
Small things, big satisfaction.
Don’t overlook the magic in the moments.
Arna Jun 14
Every time I expect something from life,
A flood of questions rises within:
Don't expect. Accept and adjust.
Be happy with what you have.
Many don’t even have what you do.
And many more voices echo the same.

But what if my expectations are simple?

Simple like -
A homely atmosphere,
A loving family,
A supportive friend,
A peaceful life,
A meaningful profession.

Are these huge to expect from life?
Sometimes even the simplest hopes feel like luxuries. Is it wrong to dream of peace, love, and belonging?
Arna Jun 13
"When life seems tough, nature becomes the silent healer—calming the mind, soothing the soul, and reminding us that even storms pass."
In the chaos of life, nature whispers peace.
A walk among trees, the sound of rain, or a gentle breeze—
sometimes that's all the therapy we need.
Arna Jun 13
Some random days...
when everything feels heavy.
when lyrics hit deeper than usual.
when every Instagram reel or YouTube short feels too relatable.
when you feel like you're not enough.
when you start sympathizing with yourself.
when you want to scream but stay silent.
when you want to cry your lungs out, but don’t know why.
Some days are just... painful and complicated.
And that’s okay.
"Some days weigh more than others. And if all you did today was survive, I'm proud of you. "
Arna Jun 12
"Some things can only be carried as a responsibility throughout the life and can never be out of love."
Some responsibilities aren’t chosen out of love —
they're inherited, expected, and silently endured.

The Quiet Ones
Arna Jun 12
Hiding their talents, afraid someone might steal their light.
Valuing others' happiness, often at the cost of their own.
Caring for everyone — even those who curse them out of envy.
Neglecting their own health while nurturing others.
Spreading smiles, while burying their own pain deep inside.

These aren’t flaws...
They’re the quiet traits of strong, introverted girls —
Silent warriors with golden hearts.
"You may never hear her story out loud — but her actions speak volumes."
Arna Jun 11
Always have gratitude for your parents.
Show empathy, not sympathy.
Be kind, but only until you’re respected.
Patience is your greatest strength.
And above all — love yourself endlessly.
Grace in the heart. Fire in the soul. Balance both — and you’ll walk through anything.

Own Your Journey
Arna Jun 11
Don’t give others the chance to:
– Remind you of your goal.
– Question your abilities.
– Doubt your path to your dreams.
– Judge your lifestyle.
– Make your decisions.
Let your confidence be louder than their opinions. Your life, your rules.

Unapologetically Me
Arna Jun 11
“People are always there to judge… but I’m not here to collect their judgments.”
Walk your path with pride. The noise around you? Just echoes that don’t matter.
Arna Jun 10
You’ve got one life.
Don’t treat it like a stage for laughs,
when it’s meant to be a stage for growth.
Don’t make your life a joke.
Don’t make your life a JOKE

The Unshakables
Arna Jun 10
They test your patience.
They hold your memories.
They fuel your strength.
— Parents, siblings, and friends...
Unbearable. Unforgettable. Unstoppable.

Unwritten Ties
Arna Jun 9
“Some people come from nowhere and become family.”
It’s not always blood that builds a bond — sometimes it’s shared laughs, silent support, and showing up when it matters.
Arna Jun 9
There will be always TIME for materialistic pleasures but TIME will be running short for uncertain things.
Especially the people you love.
As life is unpredictable, realize their preciousness and give them some time.
We chase things that can wait and ignore hearts that may not stay. Make time — before it slips away.

The Unspoken Pages
Arna Jun 9
Stopped writing in diaries...
Fearing someone might read them.
Gave up typing on Word documents...
Afraid her privacy might be shattered.

She let people walk away —
Without sharing a word,
Not because she didn't want to,
But because she was done with sympathy...
Something she had seen too much of in life.

And so, she grew silent.
Tired.
She let it be...

Until her heart whispered:
"You're safe with me."
Privacy restored.
But the heart grew heavier than ever.
Some stories are written nowhere. Just carried quietly in hearts too full to write, and too brave to burst.

The Silent Giver
Arna Jun 9
She was a simple girl.
A kind, happy going, compassionate and a talented one.
Over thinking was her hobby.
Taking pain was common for her.
She valued people more than self…
And received pain more than she deserved!!
She smiled through the ache, loved without limits, and lost more than anyone ever saw. Some hearts break quietly… yet beautifully.
Arna Jun 5
Working Moms? Na! They are Goddesses, Home-makers, Teachers, Motivators, Singers, Caretakers, Understanding Partners, and above all — the Best Moms.
True All-Rounders.
But even all-rounders have hearts that crave...
A caring partner who shares the load.0
Supportive in-laws who respect their dreams.
Loving children who see their efforts and admire their strengths.
Understanding parents who still check in.
A friend to confide in without judgement.
A solo vacation to breathe and just be.
A break from never-ending chores.
Little treats and words of appreciation.
They deserve it all.
Not just on Mother’s Day, but every single day.
Because being a mom isn’t a role—it’s a full-time miracle in motion.

Labels Don't Define Me
Arna May 30
They call me shy...I call it my way.
They call me calm...I call it my composure.
They call me silent....I call it my serenity.
They call me impractical...I call it a way to escape the harsh reality.
They call me illogical...I say it's my way to handle my issues.
They call me imperfect...I call it being human.
They say I am minimal...I say I am simple.
They call me rude...I take it as my self-respect.
They say I am stubborn...but I say it's my path to pursue my dream.
They say I look unfit...I confidently say I love flaunting.
People call many,
But I don't take any.
As I am not responsible to the assumptions they make up without knowing me.
They label.
I redefine.
They assume.
I stay true.
Because their voices don’t echo louder than mine.

Whispers of Nature
Arna May 28
Passing clouds...
Soft blowing winds...
Melodious bird chirps...
Lushy green bushes...
Soothing cool waves...
Beautiful flower gardens...
Sunrise and sunsets...
Stary nights...
Calming moonlight...

Little things of nature yet give unknown happiness and sense of peace.
In the quiet of little things, nature reminds us that peace doesn’t shout—it softly stays.

Echoes from the Inside
Arna May 28
Pain . Realization . Loneliness . Surroundings . Family Issues . Spirituality . Failures . Mistakes
Things from where deep quotes arise!!
Some thoughts aren’t written with ink—they bleed from the soul, shaped by what we survive, not just what we feel.

When Presence Hurts
Arna May 27
"It's hard to live in a place where your existence feels more like a burden than a responsibility."
Some truths hurt, but they also remind us we’re not alone in feeling them.
Arna May 27
People call me strange.
They say I live in fantasies.
They call me weird, shy—
A soul who always tries to escape from reality.
An impractical, imperfect introvert.

But what people don't know is:
I’m not strange—just simple and safe in my own space.
Not a survivor of fantasies,
But someone who uses them to ease the weight of life.
Not weird, but vowful.
Not an escaper, but an exceptionist.

I am not broken—just different.
Not lost—just elsewhere.
Not weak—just layered.
Not escaping—but creating.

So let them call me strange,
But know this—
In a world that often forgets to feel,
Maybe strange is exactly what we need.
To be misunderstood isn't a flaw—it's a sign you're not afraid to feel, to dream, to create. In a world numbed by noise, maybe being strange is the truest form of strength.
Arna May 26
Some things in life we carry,
Not because we care,
But because we must.
Like faded promises,
And roles we never asked for—
They cling to our spine,
Etching silence into our skin.

Not every burden is born of love.
Some are stitched with duty,
Unseen, unpraised,
Yet always there—
A shadow in the light,
A name we answer to,
Even when our heart stays silent.

We don't resent it.
But we don't cherish it either.
We simply carry.
Because someone must.
"Some things can only be carried as a responsibility throughout the life
and can never be out of love."

A Home Beyond Words
Arna May 21
A place where silence is understood,
Joy is shared,
Love is endless,
And you're never a burden—
Only someone to be cherished.
That’s the family we all dream of.
Not everyone gets it,
but everyone dreams of it—
a family that understands your silence,
spreads joy without reason,
loves you beyond measure,
and never lets you feel like a burden.
An ideal family is not just a blessing…
it's a rare kind of magic.

Getting a loving family,
Who understand your troubles without telling…
Who make efforts to spread happiness…
Who loves you more than you do…
Who feels you as their responsibility but not a burden…

An ideal family : Dream of every human being!!
A family that feels like home—where love needs no words and you're never a burden.
Arna May 21
"The deepest life lessons come from: mistakes, trust breaks and
realizations."
The deepest life lessons aren’t taught—they’re felt.
Through mistakes that scar, trust that shatters, and realizations that change everything… we grow.
Arna May 20
Even after tasting all cuisines from different time squares,
Eating home food by your mom’s hand is what gives you satisfaction.
Not getting full marks,
But getting extra marks than expected is what gives you satisfaction.
Showering love and caring siblings is cute,
But teasing them and irritating them is what gives you satisfaction.
Dad buying the things we wanted is okay,
But buying them with our own hard-earned money is what gives you satisfaction.
Seeing happiness on your dad’s face is nice,
But you being the reason behind his pride and happiness is what immense satisfaction is.
It’s not always the grand things; sometimes, it’s the simple moments that leave the deepest mark.
