The Subtle Difference

Hobbies aren't something to ignore. Hobbies are survival.

Everyone may or may not have a talent. Someone may or may not work on that talent. And only rare take it up as a profession. Performing on the stage, or unleashing your creativity takes a lot of courage. We are human beings, after all. WE ALL WANT APPROVAL FOR OUR TALENT. We seek appreciation for it, or we may sideline it. Which is why, I have a point -

Surround yourselves with people who encourage you, for your own little hobbies. Someone who asks you about it. Someone who shows interest. Or how else would you grow?


Not everything in this world is SELF-ORIENTED. For once, we need emotional support in life.
If you have found it, KEEP IT. Take their feedback, take criticism, but make sure it is only in a positive light.

There is a subtle difference between being demeaned, or facing negative feedback. Between constructive criticism and useless criticism. See, there are 3 kinds of people you could be with, in case of negative feedbacks:

Someone who criticizes your work, so you do better at it.
Someone who is blatantly ignorant of what you do.
Someone who criticizes your work, so you STOP.

Which one are you with?

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.

That Overused Term.

Ever think of love? What are the chances that a person could fall in love madly and deeply, to the extent that it consumes them? 10 times? Or maybe only once? They say those who do not seek it, those who do not fight for it, might not even find it. They may spend their entire lives, either hung over someone who they loved and lost, or settle for someone they do not even love. Under societal pressures or because of their own loneliness? But people have felt that emotion throughout history. Some find it in separation, which is also known to be the strongest of all the loves that exist. The dire need to look at someone and feel alive. The missing that is so powerful that it overtakes your mind and body. In the times of quarantine, the strings of your own heart can very well be understood. It is all peaceful out and there is a certain deafening silence. It could make you hear your soul, for you have nowhere to escape. Immerse yourself in books and movies as much as you want, but ...

Why Solo Travel might be Overrated

There are people who claim to love travelling alone. They claim that it helps them know themselves "better" and have some me-time. But, I live in a city where I face language barrier and have to spend a lot of time alone. Thus, when it comes to travelling, I doubt if I would ever want to go to another place far away and wish to do the same. Roam around alone with no one to giggle with. It is hard to accept that you don't enjoy me-time, as other people have this opinion that "intelligent" people would always love to do the same. There are billion intelligent, shit-crazy thoughts that pass through their mind when they are travelling and they can manage everything all by themselves. Why would you want to spend time alone, when you rarely get to enjoy a family time? Where is the world taking you? When you are out there on the beach all by yourself, won't you miss your funny friend who makes you giggle all the time? Won't you want to be with a partner ...
