  • Don’t Produce Kids

    I am not asking you to not have sex. Let’s be clear. Do whatever you want to. People are doing what they want anyway! But please use protection. It’s definitely the most important resource right now. With everything happening around us, it’s important not to make any further mistakes! We’ve already committed plenty.

    The people who are getting married or planning a family, guys please think about it!!!! Do you REALLY want another ranting human being? That kid would rant more than we do! Especially for cleaner air to breathe, water to drink and playfields!!! That kid would have more social media accounts than the number of teeth! 

    You want a kid? Adopt One! There are so many kids surviving without a family! Give them one. May be they’ll survive better.

    Truth is, what have we achieved being born?!! We are the pawns of time! Moreover, Pawns of the system!

    We choose leaders who are here to fulfill their intentions. 

    We choose lovers who cheat on us.

    We choose jobs that we don’t really fit in.

    We choose expenses that we really can’t afford! 

    We CHOOSE our lives. 

    Yet, we blame it on life.


    Who do you think will face the consequences of OUR choice? Us? No. Not at all. We’ll be long gone, struggled, survived, fought and won may be!

    But the next generations will thank you ????

    For pollution.

    For debts.

    For laws that doesn’t make any sense.

    For poverty that really doesn’t go away!

    For resources that won’t exist anymore!

    For climate change.

    For global warming.

    For being born under such drastic circumstances, even when we knew what was coming!!!


    Keeping aside the people who’re doing SOMETHING to attain the resources and rights back, trying to bring in the change we ALL want and NEED, what are the rest of us doing?

    We are creating humans to LIVE IN THE WORLD THAT WE DIDN’T HELP BUILD!!!! 

    YES. You did nothing!! You just stood there,watching  and wasting all the resources!

    These people may not even read this!! But if you know anyone who’s wasting stuff, share this with them! And if you’re the one who’s trying to save it, THANKYOU. Keep it up. But still, DON’T PRODUCE KIDS.

    THERE’S NO POINT.

    It all sounds so negative and demotivating right?

    Well, that’s not intended.

    It’s just the bitter truth!

    Think it this way! This is a very crucial time for economy.

    We’re all managing finances somehow. Fulfilling our needs via EMIs and savings.

    A kid’s expenses are twice or thrice of your monthly income! Plus the stress and anxiety. Your freedom will go away. No more hanging out with buddies and no more vacations with friends!

    So SAVE YOURSELF , MONEY AND YOUR LIFE.

    SAY NO TO KIDS.

    If you still want kids, then you should become a good no no, a better human being altogether. Else, the next generation will dance on your head without a question and then it’ll be too late. You’d wish, if they were never born or if there’s a chance the world can end soon!!!

    Oh wait! Is That what you’re contributing for??!!!!

    Ohhhhhhhhhh…..

    Now I get it!!!!!

    You’re CONTRIBUTING TO END THE WORLD SOONER THAN IT’S SUPPOSED TO, so that you won’t have to raise the kids YOU CHOSE TO PRODUCE.

    Okay! My bad. Keep going.

  • Happiness Is A Loophole

    Are you happy today?

    Or right now?

    Did you just sigh at the question?

    Did you say ‘I don’t know’?

    Why do you care that I am asking this?

    How would it affect me if you’re Happy Or Not Happy?

    It only affects YOU.

    I have been calling up happiness as the most important emotion for a long time. Happiness is overrated. Of course, everyone seeks to be it.

    But the search destroys you emotionally!

    Keep reading and you’ll know why!

    I am not talking about Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness crap! That’s damn stupid and cliché to even think  about it!

    I am talking about the constant need to be happy.

    Like,

    “At work , I have been feeling a little off today. Why can’t I be happy? May be if I sleep, I’ll feel better afterwards.”

    “I just woke up and I am already feeling low! What’s my problem! I can’t figure it out and I can’t be happy! I want to be happy, that’s the only way towards peace!”

    Or is it?

    You want peace or you want happiness?

    You can’t have both if you keep running in search of the thing you will never find if you don’t have peace, a.k.a. Happiness!

    Does this make you uncomfortable?

    Keep reading, you’ll be anxious towards the end!

    No I am kidding, you’ll feel the emotion, you’re meant to feel RIGHT NOW!

    Did you just get the idea what I am talking about?!

    I think you did!

    Anyway, keep reading to prove you got it right…

    There are so many emotions now, that we never experienced before. Now we freak out if feel anything but happy! Well, we should not! This world has over-sold the idea of Happiness. So much so, that we WAIT for a certain phase or emotion to be over so that we can FiNAlly, be Happy! We keep searching for it in innumerable things or people or places.

    ” May be if I take a vacation i’ll be happy.

    May be if I talk to my love, I’ll be happy.

    May be if I call-in sick from work and take a day off,

    I’ll feel better!…”

    And this MAY BE goes on and on…We keep searching, keep on the mission to be happy, without actually knowing what Happiness really is and How it CAN be felt!

    I am not going to tell you that Happiness is Within Ourselves, because if you’re reading this ,you know that already and this sentence didn’t work for you that is why you are here may be! You didn’t FIND it WITHIN YOU!

    You can’t.

    Yes. Its true.

    You won’t find happiness within yourself, because we as living beings have infinite emotions within us and we can’t focus on just one! Within us, is an ocean of feelings, tiding their way one by one to the shore. Happiness sure tides up and goes back… Something else comes again, may be sadness or numbness… Happiness again…. Washes off the shore, all the worries taken away… Stress comes again… Leaves some residue… Happiness again, takes all of it away… This cycle keeps on going. 

    Do you know why we are depressed and anxious ? I don’t know man! I don’t have all the answers all the time , because trust me, I feel the same. So I have accepted the fact that its okay to be feeling anything if not happy or to feel nothing at all. Life is like that. Accept this and you’ll find peace at least.

    P.S. This never aimed to tell you HOW TO BE HAPPY! Read anything ,you won’t find happiness, because (oh wait! I told you already!). Well, read this again then!

  • How To Deal With Anxiety

    Life is sooooo, ugh, I can’t even describe it! It was so great when we were in school. The things that used to worry us out were actual problems. Like, puberty, pimples, crush and attractions! That senior or junior who is so cute, but no, they’re senior! “But oh my gosh, did you like see like how cute he ysss!!!Like , Totallaayy”…! Then we went to college, discovered some more problems, like assignments, grades, college fests, competitions and winning and hostel life, and puberty to the next level, pimples became acne and all! Like actual problems, literally! We thought how hard can life be? Once I get a job or go ahead in my career, everything will be juuuuust fine! Just breathe¡!! Pheww… ThEN CAME THE WRATH OF EARLY 20S, WHERE EVERY DAY FELT LIKE A BATTLE AND EVERYONE WAS EITHER A FRIEND OR AN ENEMY BUT NO ONE COULD BE CONSIDERED A STRANGER, BECAUSE ADULTS ARE WEIRD. …..

    With time, came struggles of course, physical, emotional and mental. Raise your hands if you have anxiety, breakouts on your whole body and have  no  idea what you’re going to do in life!!!! Yeah, well! When you’re going through this stressful phase, feels like never ending, just keep in mind these 5 points-

    1.  You’re not alone and it happens with everyone.
    2. Everything in this world is temporary, the good times and the bad times. That’s how we balance right?!!
    3. You’ve faced harsh times and have conquered them before. You can do it again.
    4. Hard times are there for a lesson. Learn everything you can from this situation!
    5. IGNORE EVERYBODY.

    Sincerely, These things are the best things to cope with any situation because you know, they’re negatively positive, reassuring and a bit true ! So try them if you want to.

    Now, of course we are talking about anxiety! I think, in this millennial generation, if you don’t have anxiety, you’re missing out on something man!!! Get a life!!

    Okay, jokes apart, anxiety is like cold, everyone has it and it can be okay for a while, but before you know it, you’re again inside the trap!

    Anxiety have many types. The main ones are Emotional and Social (I think). Seriously, I have read nothing about it, just experience is talking!

    Emotional anxiety is very draining and exhausting (both are like same words, but i like them both here, so..). It hits you slowly. Like one day, you feel tired a bit, not that active or motivated, even if you did everything right! You feel lost for no reason. You create reasons. The brain plays a bitch role here. And the next day, you have a breakdown. You feel breathless and hopeless. You feel like you’re going to die and nobody will save you. And it’s hard to breathe and you feel dizzy! … Finally, it stops. Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s called a panic attack / anxiety attack. You feel fine and better the next day by the way. So Yayy? Or Nayy?….

    Nayyyy…… Super Duper Nayyyy!

    Anxiety attacks are one of the worsts! So I hope you don’t have them.

    Social Anxiety (from what I’ve learnt) is directed to the social conditions around as ,as the name suggests. Like ,loud sounds irritate you, people irritate you, basically everything irritates you.

    There’s a sub-part to this for me, called OCD! (Yeah, Monica Geller has it and alot of you as well..)….OCD is obsessive compulsive disorder and it is basically something you are obsessed about but also not obsessed about like when you are leaving your house and you think you forgot to switch off the stove or the gas but you already did that but you still check it like twice or thrice before leaving the house, so that’s called OCD.

    I have experienced these types of anxieties and I have dealt with them. So I am going to tell you, how you can deal with anxiety too!!!

    When it comes to our feelings and emotions, the heart is the master. So when it comes to emotional anxiety, the heart is the one you need to trick and train to control it. The things that you can do are -you can do deep breathing when you feel like very anxious. You can try as much as you can to let it all out by but crying, don’t overdo it, you’ll get exhausted. You can also do a workout or exercise or go out cycling or for a walk because it really helps to keep your heart into better circulation mode and  it helps with the mood to become better. So, this is how you can deal with emotional anxiety but the problem is, if you have anxiety you need to be careful about your habits and the people you hang out with. You also need to keep a track on how often do you get panic attacks or feel anxious which can help you to control it the next time anything happens. Keep a track of triggers around you that make you anxious and remove them from your life. Take good care of YOU.

     

    HEART TO HEART

    When it comes to our feelings and emotions, the heart is the master. So when it comes to emotional anxiety, the heart is the one you need to trick and train to control it. The things that you can do are -you can do deep breathing when you feel like very anxious. You can try as much as you can to let it all out by but crying, don’t overdo it, you’ll get exhausted. You can also do a workout or exercise or go out cycling or for a walk because it really helps to keep your heart into better circulation mode and  it helps with the mood to become better. So, this is how you can deal with emotional anxiety but the problem is, if you have anxiety you need to be careful about your habits and the people you hang out with. You also need to keep a track on how often do you get panic attacks or feel anxious which can help you to control it the next time anything happens. Keep a track of triggers around you that make you anxious and remove them from your life. Take good care of YOU.

    BRAIN GAME

    When it comes to our social behaviour, our reflexes and our responses, the brain is the master. To deal with people around you, you first need to train your brain to be calm and the trick of deep breathing helps here as well. It helps both the heart and the brain,so do the deep breathing thing. You can also meditate or if you cannot concentrate while meditating you can just close your eyes and calm your mind for just about a minute or two. You should take small breaks in between your work or your tasks. That just recharges your brain so that you don’t feel stressful and anything like anxiety can stay away from you. If you still feel very anxious or stressful, you should journal a lot.   You should write down your emotions,you should write down whatever you’re feeling. This really helps because the brain is kind of a hollow vessel and it can contain only few things. It gets worked up with a lot of information, so you need to let out some of the information in order to make room for some other information you really want to keep in your brain. So that is how you trick your brain to remain stress free, by unloading it.

    For OCD, the trick you can apply to your brain sound simple, but is very difficult! You have to control your brain and not let the brain control you. So, tell yourself repeatedly that you have already done that task and you don’t need to check it again. You have to do it repeatedly, only that’ll work and otherwise the brain will control you like it always do. So try to take control of your brain and that’s all I think you can do.

    You can deal with all the hardships in your way. The only thing stronger than these hard times is our will to remove them and enjoy life as it is.

     Take Care.

    This is such an insightful perspective. It’s true—no matter how much we engage with others, our minds are constantly processing,…
