I was thinking – why do we tend to wish to erase and forget the year that passed? Why do we say things like: thank god the year is over? Even worse, why do we tend to only remember the tough times and totally dismissing the good ones as if they never happened? Wait, are we doing this with everything? And are we purposely claiming misery? Continue reading

We live in a fake world
Don’t you feel we are living in a fake world. More and more we are surrounded by everything that seems fake, unreal, too modified, too flawless, too good to be true, and the list goes on. I am not exaggerating. I promise you that. Look around you.
Take a moment to stop and notice Continue reading
Miserable
Ever wondered why people have these looks on their faces as they go to work in the morning.. Have you looked at their facial expression or lack thereof on your way to work especially during the morning commute.
One morning on the commute to work, I recall being on the bus with someone dear to my heart, bringing my attention to look at the people around us and observe their body language.

The Sweetest Escape
Some people find themselves in a place where they ask themselves: how did I get here? And why did I do this to myself? Did I do the right thing? And where do I go from here? These questions you ask yourself when you realize you have come at a cross road and you need answers to your current state. It’s not like you did not think things through. It’s simply a stage where you reassess your decisions and the path you have taken. You are not surprised one bit, when you find yourself doing the exact same thing, many others like you did. You escaped your reality that didn’t make you happy and you took refuge in chasing a mirage. That is called the sweetest escape.

Yes, all those things are factors in the equation, however, it is by the defining moments in your life Continue reading
