Can Matchmakers Love Too?
Hi, my name is Tecna (she/her). Whenever someone asks me to introduce myself, the first thing I always say is "I am the proud developer of the app Significant". And in case you are wondering what is Significant, it is an app that helps you find your significant other. I got this idea when my friends kept complaining about their single life but also felt shy in approaching people. So, I created this app that gives everyone a feeling of a game while looking for love.

Expectations from 2022 me
Dear 2022 me, Here is how I want you to be when the next year arrives. As you are about to graduate soon, I want you to start working hard like you have never done before. Develop new skills and make new connections. Stop burning bridges and start rebuilding the broken ones. But most importantly, do not lose yourself.

Sorry
In my 9th and 10th grade, my teacher always told my class she didn't like hearing "sorry" when people did something on purpose. Didn't do homework? Don't say sorry. Said something inappropriate? Don't say sorry. While she may not have been everyone's favourite, her morals were surely insightful. And as I grew up between my high school and university, I learnt a lot of things from the meaning of the word sorry to regret and making amends. In this article, I will be sharing with you what I have learnt and hope that you get to learn something and make your life enriching.

It's ok :)
It's okay. It's okay to feel you don't know what you are doing right now even if you are 22 or something. Our life was never meant to be all about success or progress or anything as such but just to enjoy life. It' okay...to feel you don't belong here. It only means you have an extraordinary mind; you do not like to think with the style of common. It's okay if you feel like not doing the best. In the end or somewhere in later period of your life, you will realize that just being able to sustain your happiness is enough to feel successful in your life. It's okay to think a lonely life is fine. Fate may have chosen for you to have temporary or non-meaningful relations in your life and sometimes, we can not help with it but just live with it. It's okay. It's just okay to find comfort in not being surrounded by too many people or just people itself. Human lives now exist around progress and not connecting with their inherent nature. There is a reason why we don't feel any social anxiety or urge to impress when we are around animals, and maybe even children. We just feel ourselves around them; just our true, non-stressed, jolly ourselves. Hence, it's okay. It's ok to take a break from reading this article ;) It's okay if you find yourself feeling helpless. You must remember that there are either solutions to your problems (some maybe bitter) or your situation is not a permanent one (though it can take a long time to get out of it). Hence, it's alright to feel helpless. It's another way of knowing that help is coming from another source other than yourself. It's okay to be scared of being happy. We may just never know how long it will last and we are just afraid of losing it; we are afraid that we may never get that time back, that moment back. For some of us, we may get a chance to feel happy again after a long time. Hence, it's okay to feel afraid of being happy. It's okay to feel tensed before anything you are going to do. You just don't want to ruin it; you just don't want to make things difficult for others or just yourselves. You just want the very best for yourselves and everyone :) It's okay to get away from family and friends for good. We have differences. We have similarities. What outweighs the other decides whether we want to preserve a relationship or not. Family and friends may help us grow, but in the end, we must remember we all are individuals and we decide how we want to shape our future. Hence, it's okay to not feel guilt when cutting away a relation which the society asks us to respect. It's okay to get tired of life. Yes, life is always about learning and progressing. But in the end, emotional peace is what we cherish the most. When we think of peace, we mean life with no hassle enough to break us down. Hassle could be enemies, some difficulties, achieving through failing multiple times and such. These hassles can make life tiring especially when there is minimum to no break. Hence, it's fine if we feel tired. It's okay to just say "I'm fine" to people instead of exploding your anxieties onto them. Not all have time to sit and listen to us patiently and understand us well. Some may listen, but just to feel better about themselves and/or even gossip. Some may get tired of being a vent dump and leave the friendship. Hence, it's okay to say "I'm fine/alright." It's okay to have problems and not do much about them. Sometimes, that's what helps us feel we are living a life. Hence, it's alright to live a non-monotonous life. Hence, it's okay to not worry much about them.

Me and Rain
Ever since I was a child, I always enjoyed the rain. I would always wait for them to arrive early so that I could gather with my neighbourhood friends and splash rainwater on each other no matter how dirty it was. After getting wet, I would go home only to be greeted by my concerned mother who would ask me to walk carefully to the bathroom, not because I could slip but because I would dirty the floor with my dirty, wet feet. Not going to lie, but bathing in clean water after bathing in rain was never a good feeling. It would feel itchy around the back and other body parts. But at the same time, it always felt it was worth it.

Just Existing
I really wonder what has happened to me. In my school, when I was bullied, I turned into some kind of a wise, mature person. I became alone and I felt lonely. But that gave me the chance to explore introspection. I began to wonder what's the point of teaching about morals and kindness when "no one" (my class was like my whole world to me) is going to learn them. I was bullied as a feminine boy so I began to wonder why can't people see that a boy is a boy no matter what. I began to think like this and then for some reason, I felt I had started thinking on a universe level. I began to wonder what was the purpose of our existence. To take birth, to study, to give exams, to get a job, to get married, to have children, and then die? In fact, why do we have children when we find them annoying to raise? And then they leave us afterwards (a majority of them maybe). Anyway, but that was 4-5 years ago. Within 2 years after that, my classmates changed but not all of them. They all still bullied me but mildly then since we all were in our final two grades. We had to focus on our grades. But they became a bit friendly with me. It made me felt nice. But I guess that was a bad thing that shouldn't have happened. My brain changed its course of thinking. It went down from universal thinking to an average person's thinking and I felt I had dulled myself. I stopped thinking about universe and people.
