Memories Over Regrets✨

-

Sometimes, what our heart desires might not be accepted by our brain. There is always a clash between our desires and our duties.

I have made many such decisions where my mind and heart ended up in a tug-of-war. If my heart wins, I am happy for a while. If my mind emerges victorious, I may not feel immediate joy, but I am at peace in the future. Both wish for my well-being, yet I treat one of them as the villain depending on the situation. And somehow, I always end up cursing my brain for being right — always.

I once came across such a situation where my serotonin still hits its peak just by brushing against those memories, even today. They haven’t faded; they are simply shielded by maturity and responsibility.

Sometimes, being mature sucks. It snatches away the little joys.

At times, I wish to be that innocent child again — clueless about what tomorrow holds, carefree, focused only on scoring good marks so I could enjoy all kinds of extracurricular activities. Those days taught me how life could be fun without the stress of future goals and constant evolution. It was pure, genuine, and organic.

But now, it isn’t the same anymore. I am not a child, and I cannot act immature or irresponsible. I have to make my own decisions and take a strong stand, even in the worst consequences. And that scares me a little.

These responsibilities have tied my hands, leaving me with no freedom to choose what my heart wants. My brain takes the lead. It is said that we shouldn’t make decisions purely based on emotions. It may feel harsh in the moment, but taking time to think can make it right for the future. I am happy that at least one of my organs reacts logically rather than emotionally.

Yet again, my heart questions me.

Many of us make decisions, feel happy in the moment, and regret them later. Why? Were we not truly happy in that moment? Are we not allowed to live the life we want? Are we not allowed to be happy in our own way? Weren’t the memories beautiful?

Sometimes, I feel like my heart would jump out and punch me for overthinking! And still, I don’t have a clear answer.

No matter how valid my heart’s arguments feel, I often stand with my brain. Because later, I don’t want to regret the memories made — they are precious, priceless. Life cannot always be lived under the constant watch of logic.

And so, here I am again — confused, yet concluding that I will follow my heart, not just my brain. I want the memories to stay with me, even if the person or the situation doesn’t. And I am certain I will not regret them. As I said earlier, they are precious and priceless. They cannot be bought with currency. They are organic, pure moments when we truly feel alive and happy about the decisions we make.

That’s life.

We cannot plan every move. It’s not a game or a business strategy.

It happens.

So live the moment now — and relive the memories later. 

❤️

Time to Flip the Script

-

 I’ve always wondered if I was truly capable of something big—if I had it in me. But time and again, I found myself shrinking, second-guessing, and undermining my own potential. Fear, self-doubt, and the weight of starting something on my own kept holding me back. Procrastination crept into even the smallest tasks.  And while seeing others achieve great things would momentarily light a fire in me, it never seemed to last. My desires kept shape-shifting, multiplying without motion—hibernating, dreams- waiting to be awakened. Then, the perfect window opened—an opportunity with time, space, and silence to finally realign my life with my passion, my interests, and my purpose. Even then, it wasn’t a sudden sprint—it took time, a slow unraveling, a baby step toward something bigger. But today… today feels different. Today, with genuine interest and fresh energy, I’ve made a promise to myself: I won’t let go of what sets my soul on fire. Writing—sharing my thoughts—isn’t just a ho...

Every Choices, Decides the Future

-

Every choice we make is both a gift and a test of our character, as it shapes the path ahead. Often, we may feel scared, overlooked, or even foolish while making a decision. But the truth is, if a choice is made without proper thought or consideration of the possible outcomes, it is we who have to live with the consequences. Let me share a simple yet powerful story that reflects this idea. For a long time, I dreamed of becoming a doctor. It was always my answer in the “ambition” column, and soon, everyone in my class knew about it. But when the time came, I couldn’t get into medical college. I had the option to take a gap year and prepare again, but I chose not to. I didn’t want to "waste" a year. Now, I often regret that decision. Had I taken that bold step, maybe I could have become the cardiologist I once envisioned. Looking back, I feel that some proper guidance or insight back then could have helped me make a better decision.  Interestingly, since I started blogging...

Trying new stuff is always so much fun!

I always used to think that trying new stuff would bring out the best in me. Yes, of course it does. But the question is, do I dare to give it a try at least? I was kind of hesitant to try anything new on my own, thinking about what others would say about it. Am I really up for it? What if others don’t like my writings? These were all my fears—not self-doubt, as I had previously shared. Yet, these fears never let me start anything new… until now! Sometimes, I feel really grateful for living alone in a new city, away from all the family chaos, because this life actually gave me a chance to introspect and understand myself much better. It made me bold enough to be decisive all on my own. I call that growth. This feels like a transition period where I’m trying to come out of my comfort zone and try new things every time. And it’s actually FUN!!! I’ve now started writing my blogs, expressing my feelings on Instagram through posts, engaging myself in creating small content for my YouTube...
