After so long…

Disclaimer: Just beginning this blog with some trashy random thoughts. You can ignore it and scroll down to the content directly:)

There are moments in life when one begins to think that everything is over. Like everything is just finished. It is that time in life when losing seems less difficult than winning, when giving up seems much easier than trying continuously, when everything is so vague to consider any glint of light on the other side.

People usually ask where are you lost? Why have you ghosted everybody? What’s wrong?

I say- I’m lost in a labyrinth of my own thoughts. I’ve ghosted the entire outer world to find peace within my actual inner world. Because when all other crack-heads would be bawling their eyes out to find satisfaction, my own world would be guiding me towards light.

Usually people crave for the unfinished stories. But aren’t they supposed to be that way? Isn’t it meant to be unfinished to call it unfinished? Still they want a freaking ending.

Now, where is the problem?

People fret about everything finishing but ultimately end up wanting a finish. I mean isn’t it weird that you want for something to happen and ultimately end up contradicting your own thoughts?

Okay! Enough of these dim thoughts and questions! Time for the actual content:)

So, today’s blog is about an important topic: mental breakdown and how to cope with it.

You may have heard this thought a lot which says: “It is okay to not feel okay”.

But is it really?

Living in a world of denial and continuously thinking that it is okay won’t lead you anywhere. My personal opinion says that you need to comprehend this fact that it is not okay! That there is something wrong and you need to figure it out in order to fix it. Obviously, you are gonna find comfort sitting at a place and crying for no reason but does it really help? Do your tears really stop? Do you feel that weight off your head and do you all of a sudden go back to happy zone after sitting for a whole freaking day and weeping for no reason? Probably no.

Then what to do? Just think that it is okay and continue living that way?

No!

Every time you step out of your comfort zone to do something that your mind resists to do, is the time when you write your fate all by yourself. You push yourself against the direction of what you’re destined to do. Now this is something which makes you courageous! Accepting something which your body refuses and adapting to newness over something which your body already preserves, makes you come out of that aura of darkness.

The world of negativity and darkness leaves you at the starting point of two crossroads. Out of these two, one says to give up and let it all go, while the other suggests you to hang tight and that you are gonna ace it all after this. Some people out there choose the first and others dare to walk on the second. The main difference between the two is the will to find the closures to what they’ve already begun. Not that people who leave in the middle are any less on confidence or will power but they let failures channelize their way. They don’t focus on the art to learn from failures.

Things become so much easy and sorted the second you dip out of hard work, right? And maybe this relief helps you to remain happy for some time. But what after, say 6 months? How would you escape that time when you would ultimately have to start from the scratch all over again? You go back in time, make yourself vulnerable to situations, refrain yourself to begin by making excuses and ultimately end up sitting back.

The stress in your mind won’t expand its reach unless you allow it to. Forcing yourself and becoming a little harsh to yourself would never harm. Sometimes to just know what you want is not enough. It demands passion, consistency and courage. To just dream about something is not enough but a will to fulfil helps. To just think that it is gonna be okay won’t help but to make efforts to make it okay will.
