I know that corruption in politics always deters us to vote. We may end up thinking “What is the point? Nothing is going to change.” And in most case it is true.

In my opinion, we cannot complain about something if we do not do anything for it. Politics is a difficult career to pursue and one really needs the talent and skill to stay in it. Personally, I feel that I would not be able to handle it and so I choose to vote for the person who I think would be best out of the options I have.
I believe it is my right and responsibility to vote and if I do not do that I should not expect others to perform their responsibility.
I am most productive when everyone is asleep. I feel the quiet of the night makes me more focused on what I am doing.
I do feel sleepy at 10 pm but when I push through that sleep I can keep on working till dawn. Time passing doesn’t even come to mind. Only when my house wakes up again in the morning do I realize that I have skipped bed time all together.
Many times in life I see people who seem to be lost in thoughts their face filled with worry and grief.
I used to walk past them with hesitant steps. I really wanted to talk talk to them, to give then a ear. I was never sure how to approach them and I had the constant fear “What if I say the wrong thing”.
Today however, I take the chance, I ask them if they need to talk or if everything is okay. I think if everyone took the time, to ask how others are doing even when they are unsure it makes a huge difference.

It is the first choice I made without anyone’s influence. No parents, no friends, no hours of research. It was a “Eyes closed Giant Leap”. And it has been worth it. I have realized that since I chose a career than neither my parents nor my sister knew nothing about I fight harder to make it work.
It was a risk and I fight everyday to have no regrets on it. Everything that I gained or loose in the way to get to my destination is totally worth it.
I think being nervous is quite natural and in some cases it could be something that actually saves one’s life.
Being nervous around people makes me cautious of their every move. I have developed the habit of observing people and have avoided many dangerous situations.
Noises…. well some of it are just creepy. Could you blame me? Imagine a wailing cat at 3 am in the night. Not something that I would make me think of happy thoughts.
And of course, with everything odd that does actually happen in the world, add to it my wild imagination. And even there is no base in reality for it, I get nervous.
But the one thing I do despite being nervous is to fight through it. Keep breathing and make smart choices.
Sometimes I like to draw up a warm bath and read a nice book. Or maybe just order in food and put on a K-drama on TV and binge watch till I fall asleep.
But the best thing I like to do is to draw. I love any sort of art. It disconnects me from the world and makes me just happy.
Social Media is a nice thing to those that can use it well! But, for a person like me I find it quite challenging.
I am trying to use it in moderation so I don’t get addicted to it. And there is the added fear of not updating anything that people might take offence to.
In general, I just use it to get ideas about areas I am interested in and then I switch to watching a TV series instead.
I always walk to office. It’s too close to take a cab but the uneven terrain makes it more hard than it would have been on level ground.

I always try to leave office before it turns dark so I have the daylight with me. In my locality, people usually don’t smile, everyone keeps moving with a purpose. I quickly adapted to that lifestyle, I put headphones on my ear, my hoodie over my head and eyes on the distance I need to cover.
But one day on the way back to home, the small drizzle decide to become a heavy rain. I was too far from my office to make my way back and I was too stubborn to take cover till it slowed down. So, I kept walking and then out of the blue a stranger at the bus stop yelled “Hey beautiful! Whatever you are fighting for you will make it! Keep Hustling!”
I don’t even remember her face given that the rain drops were in my eyes but it made me smile. I yelled back “Thank you!” not just for the compliment but for giving me a little more strength to carry through life.
Whoever you are, if you ever read this post, Thank you for giving me a happy memory. It took you a couple of seconds, but you made it into my core memories.

Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
Forever, I had think innate need to hold on to people. I felt that I needed to be there for them. Little did I know how much that would affect me.
I was taught that you do not abandon people when they are in a bad situation. For a long long time I maintained that and fought hard. I kept thinking to myself that the person that I was standing by would realize my commitment to them and reciprocate at least a portion of it.
But like they say, the stronger you try to hold on to things the more it hurts. I kept hoping and waiting and at the end of the day all I got was humiliation and loneliness.
It hurts like crazy when you have to walk away from someone and you regret it immediately. But if you hold true and stay away, it almost like a shroud slips away and everything seems a much better.
You finally realize how easy breathing can be when you not burdened by the overthinking. Slowly and gradually you realize and accept that sometimes walking away is really the best thing you did for yourself.
