I haven't been a cocaine addict or a major addict of anything really, but there have been times that I have drained a lot of my time into social media and video games. Lately, I bought a new game on my ps4 and was really enjoying my time while playing the game, however the moment I got out of the game, I would start to realise all the things I need to do. All the problems I still need to solve and all the issues that I still need to work at. You know, at that moment I realised that addiction is simply running away from life's real problems, probably the more important ones and making yourself feel better just by having something or playing a video game. I am not against social media completely, but I am against the idea of being addicted to social media. You can make yourself feel better by having so many people like your instagram post or you can make yourself feel better by doing something that's important in your life, for an example planning a trip to Europe would make ...

Lately, I've noticed a common trend among people—they just can't seem to be genuinely happy. During a recent conversation with a friend, he expressed his belief that if certain things fall into place, life will be sorted. Whether it's getting married, landing a promotion, or achieving specific goals by a certain age, it's as if happiness is constantly being postponed. But why delay happiness? Can't we find contentment in the present while pursuing our ambitions? The pressure to achieve certain milestones by a certain age only adds unnecessary stress. So, what exactly is happiness? Dictionary definitions describe it as "feeling or showing pleasure or contentment," but it's more than just words on a page. Happiness is found in the simple pleasures of life—listening to your favorite song, engaging in a beloved hobby, or even having a meaningful conversation. It's all around us if we choose to recognize it. But what mindset leads to happiness? In my op...

 Recently, I have been pondering upon dealing with the ups and downs of life with stability and figuring out the right way to do it. Turns out that there's no right way out here, but there are things that we can control and understand. Let us first understand what are values in its most fundamental sense? So if we go by the dictionary definition, " a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life" are values. Basically it's what a person thinks is important in his or her life. When we go through life, in its very beginning our values and principles are taught to us by our parents and teachers. We live by it for most of our lives, but there are life experiences and other aspects of society that might shift our beliefs on what's important to our lives. For an example, I personally believe that hardwork is the key to success and now there are other individuals that have gotten successful without a lot of hardwork. No...

 There are days when I have felt low, angry and disgusted. The times when I question my self worth, the way I look at the world and I feel being lesser than some X, Y or Z individual. Recently, it happened to me when I was playing cricket and didn't feel 100% because there were way better players than me on the field at that particular day(imo). Forget connecting the shot, I would feel nervous even going in batting assuming that I am not good enough. As I came back home, I started questioning why is this happening, I almost got a mental fog during the moment but as I took a warm shower, got dressed up and was about to sleep I pondered on what's happening and why is this happening? Upon thinking a little deeper, I realised that this was more about my feeling of inadequacy rather than them being on the field making me nervous and insecure. It was me who was comparing someone's years of hardwork with one day of my practice.  A lot of people there had great attacking shots but ...
