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.

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.

When the clock strikes 12

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

I think that night owls can relate to me.

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.

When do you feel most productive?

A Few Words of Comfort

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

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.

Choosing my Career

Published on by wordhues1 Comment

I know many would probably have a better answer to this.

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.

Draw

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

There are many things that I do to unwind.

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.

With Difficulty

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

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.

Rainy Day Compliment

Published on by wordhuesLeave a comment

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.
