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 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."

"It’s never too late to move on and create the life you’ve always wanted to live."
New beginnings don’t have an expiry date — just the courage to take the first step.

"Getting stranger vibes from your close ones really hurts alot."
It hurts the most when the people who once felt like home
start treating you like a guest—
or worse, a stranger.

"Stay away from the people who behave or talk sweetly.
Sugar is injurious to health even sugar-coated words."
Not all sweet things are safe — some leave scars wrapped in sweetness.

Summer in India isn't just a season—
It's a feeling, a memory, a melody of warmth.
It's the season of:
Mangoes and juicy watermelons,
Beaches kissed by golden sunlight,
Pickles drying under the harsh sun,
Ice creams and colorful icegolas,
Breezy cotton and floral prints,
School holidays and family vacations,
Power cuts and candlelit evenings,
Sleeping under starry skies on the terrace,
Holiday homework and handwritten pages, Internships, summer camps, and endless stories.
A season where time slows down and hearts warm up.
Summer in India isn’t just weather — it’s nostalgia melting in mangoes, laughter echoing under the stars, and memories wrapped in the scent of sun-dried pickles and freedom.

What does your summer feel like?

"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."

"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."

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.

"Good never lasts forever —

Good never lasts forever —
not even the people with the kindest hearts.
Sometimes, even the warmest souls
walk away when the world grows too cold.

"Every sort of humour takes its life from pain."
Behind the loudest laughs often lie the deepest wounds.
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."
Arna Jul 24
It happened before I even started school —
a goodbye I never wanted,
never understood, but have carried ever since.
It was with the most important person in my life.
She was strong —
strong enough to fight death with all her might,
just to hold off that painful goodbye.
But in the end,
God won,
and He took her far away from me.
So far…
that we never met again.
So far…
that all I have now are stories, photographs,
and pieces of her living gently in our memories.
Her absence became my first grief,
her love —
my first lesson in strength.
Some goodbyes are painful as hell.

The most misunderstood, misfelt, and underrated feeling.
Water flowing from eyes can never be fake.
It could be from happiness,
Can be with grief,
Can be out of jealous,
And can be through overwhelm.

The reason may be anything,
But they can never be fake.
They hold valuable expressions
Which words in dictionary too fail.

They carry the pain,
Unexpressed emotions,
And more.

Tears are misunderstood
For being weak, sensitive, and over-emotional.
But they are not in true sense.
One can never judge the value of tears.

They make heavy hearts lighter.
Hidden suffers heal.
They make expressions visible.
Make the situation intact.

Never look low of tears,
And the one who lets them flow freely,
Than to submerged them fearing judgements.
Tears aren’t a sign of weakness — they are the purest form of unspoken emotion. Let them fall. Let healing begin.

"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 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 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.

Sacrifices
Painful, yet worthy.
Exist in every aspect of life.
As a child,
some fun if health doesn't permit.
As a teenager,
sacrificing extracurriculars to fulfill parents' expectations.
As an adult,
leaving passions to drown in a stressful job in order to lift responsibilities.
As a partner,
sacrificing one’s own wishes to prioritize partner's likes and dislikes.
As a parent,
keeping personal luxuries aside to uplift children happily.
Sacrifices—
even though seem tough to do,
give a sense of calm and content after seeing later results.
They hurt in the moment, but heal in the long run.
From childhood to parenthood, sacrifices silently shape us—painful, yet profoundly purposeful.

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.

They test your patience.
They hold your memories.
They fuel your strength.
— Parents, siblings, and friends...
Unbearable. Unforgettable. Unstoppable.

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.

Only absence makes clear of the value of their presence.

"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 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."

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.

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."
Arna Jul 8
"TRUST yourself and move forward rather than longing for people to trust you."
The strongest trust is the one you place in yourself — it never fades, never fails.

“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.

Every night,
I tell you,?
“Go to sleep, good night.”?
But deep inside,
I whisper,
“No… stay a little longer.”?
Expectations always hurt —?
and your reply is always the same:? "Okay, bye. GN."
Just out of care,?
because you know lack of sleep harms my health.?
And I know —?
you always wanted to have a long conversation,?
where there’s nothing to share,?
but just presence is all we craved.
Some goodbyes are painful yet needed.
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.

“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 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."

Love —
It has numerous definitions.
It is not a feeling, nor an emotion.
Not a thing, nor a situation.
Not an event, nor a celebration.
Not illogical, nor illusional.
Not a complication, nor a commitment.
Not attachment, nor attraction.
It's something pure.
Unexpressive. Undefined. Invisible. Intangible.
Love has many perspectives.
For some, it's —
Parents and friends.
For others —
Things and travelling.
Different people, different definitions.
Some say love is God.
Some say food.
Some take relationship.
Some hold on to companionship.
For some, it's being kind.
And for some, it's in happiness.

Love is everywhere.
In gestures, in glances,
In sacrifices unnoticed,
In the quiet presence of those who stay.
Comment down your definition of love.

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?"

"In certain hard moments, not even your
comfort food,
favorite perfume,
healing music,
that one comforting conversation,
a peaceful walk in nature,
or a joyful outing can bring you back to normal."
"Because sometimes, it’s not about fixing the moment — it’s about surviving it."

"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.

We all run after the ones
who don’t even turn to see us,
while the ones who truly care—
we leave waiting in the shadows.
And by the time we realize,
the gems are gone.
Yes… we are humans.
Flawed, emotional, and often, just a little too late.
We often chase the ones who don't care, while ignoring those who do—until it's too late. A quiet reminder of how human we truly are.
Arna Jul 6
Not opposite poles but similarities draw people close.
As there is so much scope to share, vibe and to do things together.
Not always opposites—sometimes, it’s the shared wavelengths that spark the strongest bonds.
Arna Jul 19
"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.

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 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.

— The End —
