Music is an Emotion
Arna Jul 9
It calms me when I’m restless with stress.
It gives me peace amidst all the chaos of the world.
It soothes me during times of suffering.
It becomes my silent savior — especially when I feel lonely, even in a crowd.

The deep, meaningful lyrics...
The mood-lifting tunes...
A singer’s soulful voice...
The vibe...
The magic created by instruments blending in harmony…

Everything about it speaks to my soul.
Yes, for me — music is not just sound, it’s an emotion.
When words fail, music speaks — straight to the soul.

A Strange Girl!!
Arna May 16
For Her
Appearance doesn't matter,
But a kind heart does.
Unwanted attention? No.
A true shoulder to lean on — yes.
Fake concerns don’t move her,
But sincere words always will.

Yes —
She may seem strange to you,
Because you can't decipher her soul.
She’s a rare gem
Amid all the world’s noisy pleasures...
She shines brightest
In the quiet kingdom of her own world.
"She isn’t defined by the world’s standards — she listens with her soul, loves with her heart, and lives in her truth."

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.

Painful moments...
Arna May 18
Giving fake smiles...
Hiding pain infront of family...
Confusion of what to share and what to hide...
Fear of perspective changes...
Fed up with sympathy around...
Being unloved...
One side efforts...
Losing loved ones ...
Getting stranger vibes from close ones...
Taking blame without fault...
Lack of clarity in life...
Handling panics on your own...
Bad?
Probably the worst!!
The silent struggles people go through — especially the pain that hides behind a smile and the burden of emotional isolation.
"If you relate, know you're not alone."

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.

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.

No Regrets, Only Lessons
Arna May 20
Don’t let a day to come in your life when you grieve on your past days for not using them wisely.
"Every day is a blank page — don’t wait for tomorrow to wish you had started today. Make your time count now so your future self thanks you, not resents you."
Arna 7d
"Some people just can't resist your smile,talent and happiness for no reason."
Some people won't need a reason—
your smile will irritate them,
your talent will threaten them,
and your happiness will unsettle them.
But that says more about their emptiness than your brightness.
Keep shining anyway.
Arna Jun 23
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."

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 May 20
Sometimes, we can’t do anything but to just
sit and miss them.
Sometimes, it’s better to
just hide all your emotions in your tiny heart.
Sometimes, opting for silence
is the best option in all situations.
Sometimes, a comforting embrace
is enough to heal you when sympathetic words doesn’t.
Sometimes, all you crave for is a hand on your shoulder
or a shoulder to lie
or a person to hear you and comfort you
when you feel low
than having the whole family to console you.
Not every pain needs words.
Not every tear needs an audience.
Sometimes, silence understands more than sympathy.
Sometimes, all the heart asks for is a quiet presence —
a touch, a glance, a gentle reminder that we’re not alone.
And in those tender moments, healing begins.
"Sometimes, silence is the loudest cry for comfort."

Until It Exists
Arna Jul 5
"Never give up until you make your dream life exist."
– A reminder to keep chasing, no matter how long the path.
Your dream life is not just a wish—it’s a goal.
Push through the struggles, hold on to hope,
And never give up until you make it real.

The Addiction Loop
Arna May 18
"We can get rid of addiction by getting addicted to another addiction.
It can be negative on positive or positive on negative."
"Swapping one cage for another. Choose wisely."
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.

A home?
Arna May 16
A home?
A place where your mornings start with scoldings and nights end with arguments?
A place where you are unloved?
A place where you don’t even know what your siblings feel about you?
A place you are having heavy heartbeats and panics?
A place where you don’t feel like sharing anything?
A place where your existence doesn’t seem worthy?
A place where you can’t even cry peacefully?
A place where no one express what they feel?
Is this place called a home Maa?
Is it? Really?
“Built with bricks, filled with pain — can that ever be called a home?”
Arna Jun 20
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."

Friend to Stranger
Arna May 16
She was not too close,
Also not so unknown.
She was not a friend for life…
Neither just friend.
But still…
She always respected my opinions
Listened to all my blabbering
Bared all my naughty antics
Secured all my secrets
Understood all my feelings

Yes!! She was special and her absence is getting hard now.
"Not a forever friend, not a stranger either… just someone who understood me in silence and stayed without a label. Now her absence echoes louder than words ever could."

Gratitude
Arna May 17
Be thankful to your parents...
Be grateful to God....
Be obedient to your teachers....
Be there for your friends...
Be available for any help....
Show gratitude to everyone you meet....
As everyone has their own perspective and policies....
Some may teach us how to behave and rest about how not to be....
There will be many to give advises on how to behave...
But it's important to learn from the one who is imperfect and show them your version of being perfect!!!
"Gratitude isn’t about having everything — it’s about seeing the beauty in what you already have."

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.
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."

What was her fault?
Arna May 16
What was her fault?    
A desire to have a family?
A sacrifice which created another family?
A dream to be a working woman?
A want to live happy?
A life to see her children achieve big?
A kind hearted nature who always searched her happiness in her people's happiness?
What was her fault after all??
"Heaven gained her. I’m left with the question — what was her fault?"

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.
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.
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.

Temporary
Arna Jun 21
"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 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.
103 · May 20
Trust Is a Silent Bond
Arna May 20
If a person is sharing his/her personal secrets with you,
they do it with trust and not hope of gaining sympathy or support.
You really don’t need to feel their problems.
Just be with them and assure them that no matter what the future holds, you’ll be always there by their side in all times.
"When someone opens up their soul to you, they’re not seeking your sympathy — they’re offering their trust. You don’t need to fix their pain or carry their burdens. Just be there, fully and truly. Sometimes, presence speaks louder than any words ever could."
101 · May 26
Silent Expectations
Arna May 26
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?
A homely atmosphere,
A loving family,
A supportive friend,
A peaceful life,
A meaningful profession.

Are these huge to expect from life?

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.
"Sometimes, the smallest hopes feel like the biggest dreams. Is it really too much to ask?"
101 · Jun 29
Chase Dreams, Not People
Arna Jun 29
"It’s better to work hard to achieve your goals and make your family a happy one than to run behind the people who doesn’t remain or care for you."
In the end, your efforts mean more than empty attachments. Build a life that brings pride to those who truly matter.

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.
Arna May 17
Every problem has a solution...
Every field has it's significance...
Every child has their own talent...
Every parent has their own parenting style...
Every doubt has it's clarity...
Every disease has it's remedy and medicine...
And every failure has a day of success.
"In the puzzle of life, every piece has meaning — even the ones we don’t understand yet."

Random Peace
Arna May 18
I find peace in darkness...
I crave for my alone time...
I wait to get drenched in rain...
I like chopping onions...
I love taking shower...
I prefer nights over mornings...
Because these small moments allow me to let out my concerns, weep in peace and let my tears flow without others knowing and no need to give explainations to my tears.
"Peace found in places where emotions are free to flow."

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.

Life Truths
Arna May 17
I just read a quote today which said :
"A fresh rose lives for days,
but a dead rose lives for forever."

But it is completely opposite in human life...
An alive person is judged, compared and unloved but a dead person is remembered, respected and lasts only in memories.
"Roses bloom, fade, and leave a lasting memory. Humans live, struggle, and are remembered after they're gone."
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. "

Not just words
Arna May 30
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.

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 Madness"

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.
They call it madness.
But they don’t see the battles I silence with ink.
This isn’t just writing —
It’s survival.
It’s the language of wounds turned into words.
Let them laugh.
I’ll heal anyway.
Arna Jun 24
"We can’t blame our fate nor the destiny everytime. Just accept everything and move forward with a smile."
Acceptance isn’t weakness —

Imperfectly Perfect
Arna Jun 22
"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.

Nature Knows
Arna Jul 12
“When life seems tough, nature heals.”
Sometimes all we need is a quiet walk, a sky full of clouds, or the touch of a breeze to remind us — peace still exists. Nature doesn’t ask questions; it simply holds space for our healing.
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 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 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.
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 Jul 7
"Even if it’s not your dream, give it your all — for the ones who saw a dream in you."
Not every dream begins in your heart.
But sometimes, the faith others place in you is reason enough to chase it —
Not for the goal, but for the ones who believe you can.
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 26
"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.
