Scribbled Thoughts

You’ve run upstairs to grab your cell phone from the bedside table. Swinging the bedroom door open, it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the dark. That’s when you see it. A looming shape in the corner of the room. You freeze. Adrenaline courses through you. Your heart is beating so fast you can feel it through your chest. Your muscles tighten. This is it. In the corner of your mind, you always knew  creatures  existed, and here is one now, in your bedroom, with unknown intent. Your thoughts fly past you a mile a minute, while your hand desperately scrambles with the light switch. Finally, you manage to flick it on. Light enters the room, and you see the "creature" is actually just the winter jacket you threw over the closet door earlier. A laugh escapes you, and you grab your cell phone before heading back downstairs. But you keep the light on. You have  probably experienced this before (if you haven't, then I guess I am the odd one out). I experienced this j...

Hi Friends!!! This is  Ishaan  and I am back with another post. Hope you all are doing  well. It's been quite some time since my last post, but anyway, today's post is about the different things we come across in life. Now, there will be ups and downs in life. You will face hardships and there will also be times when you will feel that everything is awesome. But, one basic thing about life is that it goes on. People will come into our lives and you never know for how long. Sometimes they leave at the end of the movie and sometimes they leave right in the middle. It's confusing, messed up, and painful. But, I want you all to look at pain as this thing, this tangible thing. Let's say pain is a box, when you take the box and open it up, it's all the memories and the love and all the good times you had with them. It may be dark and grey on the outside, but the inside is beautiful because it is a reminder that they were real. Remember that people come and go, and of all ...

Hi Friends!!! This is  Ishaan  and I am back with another post. Hope you all are doing  well. So, today's post is a bit different. It has a big role in my life. So, a few years ago I read a book called "Bloom For Yourself". It was a beautiful book containing poetic writing, woven into deeper lessons on healing, growth, faith, and self-love. So, let me share with you some of the things that this book taught me. "Something wild and beautiful happens when you start to love yourself and embrace every single piece of who you are." The author's words really motivated me. That one book helped me to see the world as a much better place. It completely changed my point of view towards life. What I learnt, is that the secret to living a better life was 'self-love'. How can you love life or love other people, if you do not love yourself? and if you are not ready to bloom for the world (to show them who you really are) then bloom for yourself. Bloom eternally, an...

Hi Friends!!! This is  Ishaan  and I am back with another post. Hope you all are doing  well. So, today l et's talk about the small things that we do in life that can bring a major difference in the world. We make many choices and perform various actions that we feel are very small and that they won't bring any major change. Many people give up their good actions and deeds thinking that they cannot make any difference. What they do not understand is that, when these small decisions, choices, and actions are brought together, they make a very big difference. Let me explain myself by telling you a short story. There was once a man. Every Sunday morning he would take a light jog around a park near his home. There was a lake located in one corner of the park. Each time he would jog by this lake, he saw the same elderly woman sitting at the water’s edge with a small metal cage sitting beside her. The past Sunday his curiosity got the best of him, so he stopped jogging and...
