Whenever Possible

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

I wish I could say that I have a proper sleep regiment. However, like most adults I sleep when I have the time to sleep.

When I was a kid, I remember crying and throwing a tantrum any time, my parents told me that it was time to sleep. Little did I know that when I grow up sleep would be the one thing that I crave the most.

During university days, late night parties, and midnight plans was something that was considered ritual. But now that I have started working and the reality of life has hit me, even when I am exhausted. I sometimes end up, sacrificing sleep to study or work.

I did try to stick to schedule where I woke up early and went to bed early, but that lasted about two weeks, so now I do not look at the clock anymore, the moment I feel drowsy, I whatever it is that I am working on and go to sleep.

And to wake up like most independent individuals, I keep about 8 to 10 alarms, which I snooze over 10 to 15 times before finally giving up and waking up to my day.

Strategy?

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

I don’t have any strategy to increase Comfort.

What do you say for this – Buy more  pillows?

I believe that life in this world is filled with struggles. One can say money will buy you comforts but to get that money you struggle. You struggle today with the hope that tomorrow can be comfortable. However not everyone gets to that comfortable life.

So I don’t have any strategy for a comfortable life. Work hard, enjoy the happy moments, hope for the best, fight till the end and maybe, just maybe, you will get the dream you hope for.

Absolutely Nothing

Being a pessimistic person really puts a dent in being excited about the future.

I want big things in the future but the focus and determination to achieve it often fades away after a few hours.

Since I don’t make the effort it obvious enough that I won’t actually reach my goals. I always think if I make all the effort and fail I would be upset more so instead I procrastinate.

I am learning to be hopeful again about my future and maybe soon I will also learn to be excited about it as well. 😊

What are you most excited about for the future?

Pride but not Honor

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

As a woman, I was always taught that we must sacrifice things for my family’s sake. To maintain the peace in the family.

It took me some time to figure out the difference between the two. I realized that pride is to feel superior to the others. And in most cases pride destroys everything. You tend to loose yourself in the battle to assert yourself as being better. The moment you let go of that pride you learn to accept things and people. Letting go of the pride needs to come from within it does not come from another’s advice. It happens when you realize that there is something more valuable that you will gain and letting go of your pride feels like freedom.

On the other hand, I also realized that not everything considered pride tends to be pride. Protecting your honor is not wrong. Honoring yourself is the truest form of self-love and though it is quite difficult to do, one must always try. Giving up your honor today, may not rock the boat today, but for the rest of your life you would have no harmony within yourself.

It’s Over Now

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

Standing at crossroads
Where did we go wrong?
Things were all mayhem
But we promised we’d stay strong
Everything that ever happened
Seems like a haze of a time long forgotten.

Every step is breaking us down
Life is charting a path that we hate
What was, is not what is anymore
Things that made us smile bring now despair.

Missing you is something I never wanted to know
Cause being with you was my forever story
The choices we made and the chances we took
Made us reach where we are today

A destiny that was never imagined
A future apart
With solitude and a broken heart.

Small Gestures

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

Not a big fan of the world-altering romance. I think something like that would just overwhelm me.

I believe in the small actions that people do.

Like pretending to look at the phone just to give you time to catch up and walk together. Or switching the restaurant to one of your favorites.

Even though they seem like small insignificant things I think they have profound meaning. They are not done to be appreciated instead they are done out of habit. As if it’s the most normal thing for them to do.

I believe being part of someone’s normal is my kind of romantic. It almost feels like you share a world of your own with that person even though there are a billion people around you.

And that to me, is just beautiful.

Chocolatey Goodness

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I am unfortunately not a person with much of an idea when it comes to food and even lesser when it comes to chocolates.

But over the course of my life I have identified some flavors that work well with my limited palate. I love the taste of hazelnut in chocolate and I also love the taste of dark chocolate. I should mention that the chocolate that has always been close to my heart is “Kit-Kat”.

If I were to to describe my dream chocolate it would be the Kit Kat wafers with Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut cream! 🙂

Empty Conversations?

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I am not one for conversations. I choose to brood over things in my solitude.

It took me sometime but the only time I do “talk” to people is when I want a distraction. Random empty conversations might not add to anything useful in my life but they stop my mind from attacking me. Even if it is just for a short duration in that moment all my worries go to the back of my mind.

On rare occasions that I have a “heart-to-heart” conversations with someone it helps me realize that my life is much better than most people. It gives me a perspective other from my own and I get will to fight a little longer.

So contradictory to most people’s opinion, in my opinion empty conversations do have value.

Being Persistent

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

I prefer to not try rather than fail and I use that as an excuse every time I slip up.

I have huge plans of what to achieve in my future and I realize that to get there what I need more than anything is to keep pushing forward. It’s okay for those days where I just want to be lazy and waste time. All I need to learn is to get up and keep moving forward.

“One step backward two step forward.” I need learn to keep chipping at that block. Here’s to phase 2 of Year 2024.

Seriously?

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

The first thought I have is ‘what a weird question’. My mind always is running. I have developed the habit of multi tasking and in most cases, at any given point, I think I am always thing of two things at the same time.

So I have no first thing that comes to my mind. the prompt should probably should have been “What is the first thing on your mind when you wake up?” and the answer would be — Where did I throw my bedsheet this time..
