Should we fall in love?

-




I fell in love a few days back! 



Well, it was for lines that I read.

It goes like-

     "you are a mirror

    if you continue to starve yourself of love          

    you will only meet people

   who"ll starve you too

     if you soak yourself in love

    the universe will hand you those

    who"ll love you too."

                  -RUPI KAUR.


It is so true and the writer has put it so beautifully in words that I have read this a hell lot of times after the first encounter. I thought the idea was worthy enough and could be talked about in a post.


Well, it is not easy to fall in love, indeed we even fear to love ourselves. There is this constant fear of heartbreak and the recession that follows. So instead we choose to fall for materialistic things, for example, the car we want to buy, the ring we wear, books and the list goes on.


What can rather be done is that we can start small and love deeply and firstly our parents. The ones who love and care for us selflessly. Then maybe work on ourselves and love what we are. Love and accept ourselves guilt-free. So the idea is to accept ourselves with all our imperfections.


Another phrase that has rather become common is that "The more I understand people the more I fell in love with my dog".The love for pets, especially dogs and cats are insane. All our favorite celebs love their pets and some admit to loving them more than people! Miley Cyrus, Kylie Jenner, and Ellen DeGeneres to name a handful. Well, the Indian celebrities are no less, Amitabh Bachan, Priyanka Chopra all love their pet dogs.


Well, people are indeed complex and hence difficult to understand and ah! cope with. But something it is also true that in a way we all starve for love the same way the poor starves for food. One amazing trick is, rather than focusing only on the qualities that the other person possesses,we should rather focus on how we feel when we spend time with them. It is said, the ones we feel comfortable and secure with are the right choices.

So indeed of starving ourselves, maybe we could be brave and dare to love and then learn from our experiences.

Your crush vs your guy.

1. Your crush is probably one of those people who can make you feel the most uncomfortable. He can make your head spin, make you feel weak in your knees, and get you to blush when you don't want to. While your love interest is someone you are the most comfortable around. 2. Even if your crush is a total loser, that won't harm you but an awful lover can stink your life. You can end up placing your crush on a pedestal even though he is an idiot. You would glorify all of his credentials and overlook all his ineptness. 3. A friendly gesture from your crush can leave you awestruck but even though your guy goes miles for you, he can still fail to win you. (the heart wants what it wants). 4. Your love interest seems to be a net flix subscription to you but your crush looks like a membership to the clubhouse. As in the Netflix subscription, you can get easily compared to the inaccessible membership to the clubhouse. 5. Your crush has a very short shelf life, on the other hand, your l

Are you bored?

A lot of people were acutely bored during the lockdown and it persists. The pandemic has seized most of our routine activities. Personally, whenever I have felt bore for long, it always leads up to frustration, demotivation, and anger. Hence, that is the last way I want to feel.  It is urgent to understand and eliminate such emotions.   Every emotion that we feel is trying to communicate something to us. Lack of work does increase our chances of feeling bored. But that isn't the only cause. Lack of quality of work that we do is the leading cause of such an emotion. We shall analyze the kind of work we are doing in our field. Quality of work is most important to feel content. Someone who has no objective can never feel content or motivated. It is crucial to have at least one passion and strive in that particular field. If not so, we will always be bored, and lose the idea of time. There are countless opportunities in this digital world. Hence, it is foolish to complain about not hav

Why so obsessed with beauty?

Why are we so obsessed with our appearances. Does this dimension of our life deserve all that botheration? The race to look the best is doing more harm to women than body hair. This is not to praise the twinkle in our eyes or the glory in our smile, but to make a point that our obsession with beauty is mad-crazy. The way I look at it someone's attractive looks do no good to you. The present beauty standards are undermining, distracting, and destructive. It affects women more, on average women own 40 cosmetics. As long as you are not aspiring to be eye candy or to join show-biz, there is no need to freak so much about your looks. Can we just stop talking about who wore what at the party? Can we breathe and let people be. It is high time that we admire each other for confidence, sass, talent. Let us complement each other on what we do rather than how we look. We have had enough of airport looks, the gym looks, the event looks, behind scene looks, and many more, paparazzi never seems
