Fake It Till You Make IT
I just told someone it's all up hill from here. They are pretty words that were meant to encourage someone not to dwell on the bad, and that it is going to get better. I didn't know her, but saw the pain in her eyes. So, I told her pretty words, as I finished her transaction, so that she might not let one bad stressful situation ruin her day. Looking back on it I'm glad that I said it, but I must ask myself why can't I live up to those words? All too often I'm guilty of living a do as I say and not as I do life. I work to encourage others, but I let my own stress ruin my day.

It’s fun until it’s not
I was just a teenage girl trying to find some advil because I was cramping heavily at the time. My mom would keep all her pills in one spot so as I was looking through , I notice a prescription for ‘ Alprazolam ’ . I would always hear about that drug heavy on the internet and near my peers at school. So when I notice it I instantly got curious and decided to see just what the hype about this was about . The rest of the day I felt normal , I was waiting on some big thing to happen but it didn’t. Until , I noticed that my anxiety would get worse when I would hang out with my friends and being out. That’s when the dependency started when I found out it was for anxiety. When I was on ‘xans’ I would be very hyper sexual , impulsive , reckless and i got myself in bad situations. However , everytime after a night out of xans if i woke up the next day feeling guilty about what I did the day pior I would take another one and i day by day I just used it to escape. I was happy I didn’t feel and I could just do because anxiety was always holding me back so all of this was new to me and I inreturn ended creating a big hole of problems and I wasn’t addresing them.

Looking for second chance at happiness? Living a better tomorrow is a step away!
Life yields a second chance to every one of us. It’s called tomorrow. And it doesn’t happen by chance. We begin to live our second life the moment we realize that we’ve got only one and fancy a new morning with a fresh chance to make of it whatever we want!

Taking off the Costume I Wore
Today, I had to bravely decide to throw away the costume I wore to disguise my true self. I knew it was time to reveal who my authentic self is. I cannot live pretending to be someone I am not anymore. I had to do it for myself and God to throw that costume away that I wore every single day. It became my security.

Why do we write
We all have heard about the theories of what sets an author on a journey to write, what motivates him, how and from where does he get the ideas and words and the articulation to put those together effortlessly into some great poetry, articles, blogs, stories and books. Some say that writing helps them to cope up with the painful experiences that they have gone through in the past or are going through everyday in their lives, some say that they get to express themselves through their writing. For some, it is an effort through which they try to make a difference in this world and for others it is a way to escape, for a while to a whole new world of their own “DISNEY LAND”. Some use their writing abilities as a medium of emotional detox while others, through their writing, help themselves as well as others as a guide towards making the right decisions in their life predicaments. There are uncountable reasons for why one writes and this list can be non-exhaustive. So, why does someone write? What is the point of this question at all? The whole point of this argument is that it can never be answered but only explored. This debate is never ending. Hence, through this space, I will try to do just the same. EXPLORE. I will try to address a few themes which, according to my experience are the touchstones to Writing. Let us start from ground zero. IMAGINATION AND GENESIS OF IDEAS. Every action starts through imagination. This title pretty much envelops all the areas which we are going to explore throughout this write-up. Whether we talk about the American business magnate Bill Gates and his ideas of coming up with Microsoft, the technology entrepreneur Elon Musk and his incredible Cyber Truck or an exceptional character like Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. All of these were originally tiny ideas which came into existence by the imagination of these great minds. It is however a strange feeling how a small idea, if paired up with the right direction of thought can lead to exceptional achievements. So, let's now delve into applying these imaginations and ideas into the next level. THINKING AND THE TRAIL OF THOUGHTS. Now what do we do about these imaginations and ideas? And how is it even possible for a small idea to lead to such big ventures? This is where thinking comes into play. Thinking transforms the ideas into plans and plans, when further thought through can lead to their execution and finally fruition. We've all been through the situation at several times in our lives where, sometimes there's an idea or a simple thought which leads to another one and so on and we find ourselves stuck in this continuous trail of thoughts for hours. Some may call it day-dreaming but this is the exact idea behind the accouchement of a story. You put these trail of thoughts into words and who knows, you might be ready with a quality story! People don't only write because they want a fortune out of it, there are other reasons too. Some do it because they have a NEED TO WRITE to EXPRESS themselves. Here, by “need” we do not mean that they have a need to make money out of it but simply as a medium to express oneself. There are people who are not very vocal and good at expressing themselves through voice and feel the need to do it through words. Talking, for them doesn't make any difference but the power of words does wonders. Remember how we talked about “escaping to our own Disney Land” and “detoxifying our emotions”? That's the power writing has. It is unimaginably wonderful how J.K Rowling’s escape from the real world into her own imagination which takes us all on a tour to a mystical experience through the series of “Harry Potter” books and movies and how the characters certainly become our exemplars and we even have devised a term to characterise the fans as Potterheads. And we all know how, by writing these books, Rowling finally came out of her miserable life which encumbered her into several years of chronic depression. Writing stories was just her way to disconnect herself from the pain that she was encountering in her real life. Little did she know that Harry Potter will become a go to space for almost the entire world. GUYS THAT IS A REAL BIG DEAL! I am sure there are numerous other inspiring stories just like this one. Shakespeare used to express himself through his poetry. Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist, Nicolas Sparks, Chetan Bhagat and there are thousands who can be listed into this category. I also feel that there is nothing more intimate and romantic than displaying your love through your writings. It makes the person on the receiving-end feel extremely special and as if he is on the top of the world. It certainly does make me feel these ways! Words have such great emotional appeal and warmth attached to them that they have a potential to leave an in-transient, ever-lasting impression on the audience. And due to this attribute, many influencers and role models through their quotes, motivational books, life-inspiring stories and experiences try to make a difference in this world, share their knowledge, educate and enlighten especially those in need. The paramount result of writing is that it offers a sense of happiness, contentment and pleasure to the writer. I chose to write about happiness in the end because according to me, it is all that matters. And that is why I write. To be happy. Every contradiction seems to fall in place when you are happy. Each one of us, at some point or the other, have dreamt of being a writer. And I believe that everyone should perhaps give those tiny imaginations and the trail of thoughts at least one shot. You never know what you might end up creating! There is no finite number to create Superheroes, right? After all, the quality of thinking depends on the model of your head and that is exactly what is reflected on your writing. So, IMAGINE! THINK! WRITE! And most importantly, BE HAPPY AND SMILE! CHEERS!!!

Being Empathetic Was My Biggest Weakness
It was just another day when I looked outside my window and saw the usual. The bustling street, people rushing to work, and an air of stress surrounding the crowd like the 8 am fog in winter. But today, this air seemed to wrap around my thoughts as well.
