what are we here for?

at least once in our lives, we wonder what our purpose is. what the purpose of humans are on this planet. but what if everyone had their own individual purpose. that not everyone has the same purpose in this world.

i don't think that everyone has the same purpose. that's why we are unique. we are given the talents we need to achieve our own purpose. we have to learn what that is and fine tune it so that we can achieve what we want to achieve.

some people's purpose may be to win the nobel prize. another's might be to invent the telephone. are those the only people that have achieved their purpose? i don't think so.

what about the people whose purpose to be an amazing mother. what about the people whose purpose is to take care of their family. what about the people whose purpose if to help friends. what about their purpose in life?

we don't need one big purpose to live. we don't have one big purpose to achieve. we don't have to compare ourselves to other people to find out our purpose.

we all have our own purpose. no matter what it is. that's why we are the way we are.

find your purpose. you never know. it could be right in front of you.

dreams are a wish your heart makes

it's the middle of the night, and i'm pulling an all-nighter because of the amount of work i have. while people are deep in sleep and in their realms of dreams, i stay awake to witness it.

has there been one day where you wake up and you realise that you've had the worst dream ever? the day where you wake up in the middle of the night and then realise that it was all a dream? lately that's been happening to me.

i've had weird dreams for the past week or so. apparently they're meant to mean something. but i can't get my head around it.

dreams are a wish your heart makes. dreams are a way of your subconscious telling you that some things need to be changed in your life. and when you have nightmares, that means that you are scared of what's going to happen.

when you go to sleep at night, underneath your warm blankets, don't be afraid to dream. don't be afraid to see what your heart wants. don't be afraid to look inside you.

that's what dreams are for. to show you who you really are.

too good to be true

every single time something good happens in life, i always stop myself from letting it happen. i know what you're thinking. you're thinking why? why would she stop herself from letting something good happen to her?


that's because i think it's too good to be true. every single time something good has stood in front of me, i have sabotaged it so that it becomes something bad for me and i can then later tell myself that it was too good to be true.


i don't think i'm a person who should be happy in life. not yet at least. the reason for that? because i don't think i've worked hard enough to be happy. i've been lazy and irresponsible and down right rude. who would want to be with someone like me? and so to make sure that i'm right, i turn everything good into my life into something bad.


when the day comes that i think i deserve something good in my life, that's the day that i will allow good things to happen. i won't sabotage it to make it bad. i'll make sure that it stays good in my life.


until that day, i'll sabotage away.

ripping off band aid

when it comes to doing brave things in your life, we always have to have a little push to do it. whether it be standing up to you parents, mending friendships, or being honest, we need someone to help us rip the band-aid off.

every single time something bad happens to us, we get scarred. whether it be physical or emotional, it always leaves a mark. when that happens, we try to fix it. we want our wounds to heal so that we can continue with life. even though it may have changed a bit.

every single day we reach a point where we have a chance to rip off the band aid to show that our wounds have healed and that we are going to move on in a better light, but we don't. we don't want the band aid to come off since we're scared that the scar will still be there. we're scared that the scar will become worse. we're scared we're not brave enough.

but that has to stop. if we don't rip off the band aid and continue on with life, how are we supposed to know whether the scars have healed? when are we going to be brave enough to rip the band aid off and be brave if not today?

so i ask you this, is today the day you rip off your band aid?

disconnecting

these past few days, my laptop has not been working because of my charger. and my phone has been acting weird. it has a mind of it's own. people may think that i've been dying since i have nothing to communicate with but i think otherwise.

yes at first i thought oh god! what am i gonna do? how am i going to communicate with the world? i'm completely disconnected. but after a couple of days, it felt good.

to have time to yourself, to gather your thoughts, to think of nothing at all. all the peace and quiet. it was different. and nice.

the world around us is so fast-paced, so hectic, that sometimes we don't have time for us. we're running around trying to finish our to-do lists. but have you ever just sat down, disconnected from the world and thought of nothing?

you don't have to worry about someone not reaching you. or that someone didn't reply on facebook. you can get lost in your own thoughts. you can finish the book you were reading. you can focus on yourself. de-stress.

i know that as the semester goes on it will get harder to do things like this, so take advantage of it now.

disconnect from the world and connect with yourself.

distance means nothing

this past weekend, i had the time of my life. summer is almost ending, and for the first time since it began i was surrounded by all the people i care about. and that's when it hit me. that this is the last time for a long time that this is going to happen.

in college, you meet people that you end up being friends with for the rest of you life. and you meet people that you are acquaintances with. the only problem is that one day they have to leave.

it's sad how things have to change. how everyday someone has to leave us. and slowly groups become smaller and smaller until one day it's just you heading back home to face the real world.

but i know that these people, the people in my life right now, to them, distance is nothing. that even though we're going to be a million miles away, we will still keep in touch. we will still call each other about the smallest things. laugh at the smallest jokes, cry at a tragedy, and enjoy life with everything we have.

i have friends all over the world. and the ones that matter most to me are the people i'm in touch with. whether they're half an hour away or half way across the world, these are the people whom i love.

to us, distance means nothing.

horoscopes

i don't believe in stars, horoscopes or anything like that. sometimes, yes i do look it up just for fun. just to see what they say and if my day has gone like they say it has. sometimes it happens to be true, other times, not so much.

in india, we don't look at the solar horoscopes. we look at the lunar horoscopes. apparently the time and date that you were born has a big influence in your life.

it can tell you a lot of things about your future. your professional life, your love life, your social life.

although i don't believe in things like this, my mom got a reading and she told me about it. i obviously thought it was nonsense but after she gave me a timeframe, i started to wonder. you can't help but wonder if your life is going to end up like that. whether all the events in my life from now on are going to lead to what she told me.

then i think to myself, that maybe now that i know, i can change what i don't like about it. but then i think, what if by changing my actions now, i'm actually going to the end up doing what it says. what if this is meant to happen. that my actions are triggered in such a way that what i do now will end up leading to the certain events.

then i stop myself. i started remembering my new years resolutions. that i wasn't going to think about the future. that i was just going to do.

but sometimes i can't help but wonder.

what would you do?

change the present so that you can try to have a better future or just let life run it's course?
