Vent: For you and me

 " Is my body weird?" is a question we all have had or are asking ourselves currently. I have too. In fact, for almost my entire life until now, I didn't like my body. I was always insecure. Thicker thighs, flabby arms, love handles, double chin, it always made me feel like if I'm not perfect nobody would want me in their lives. I knew that wasn't okay, because when you have a love-hate or just a hate relationship with your own self, you have the same relationship with everything and everyone else.  It is true. As soon as I started to accept my body, I started noticing the changes in my relationships as well as other aspects in life.  Each body is different; some are skinny, some are not. Some have a small waist but wider hips, some have the perfect shape and some don't. Despite all of this, it doesn't take away the fact that all of these bodies, irrespective of how different they are, are normal. And there couldn't be one thing wrong with that. Nowada...

                          Until, I got into a relationship, I had never actually realized how bad I was at expressing myself, at being vulnerable. I suppose, before that I never exactly needed to.

And communication requires expressing, the courage to own up what we feel and be strong enough to say them out loud;  which was far more difficult than I had ever anticipated. To work on something like that takes time and I definitely took mine, still am taking it.  See, I've noticed, that communication, although extremely important, is particularly tricky. We, as humans have sometimes, a knack, for not saying what we precisely want to, which leads to misunderstandings and problems. Nobody wants that, ever. When it comes to communication between two people - a male and a female especially, there has to be a very specific manner of expressing oneself, since our ...

 Never had I ever thought I'd be sitting in my bedroom on a random afternoon starting ANOTHER blog. I have always been told that I'm good at helping people. Listening to their problems, understanding where they come from, their mental state in the particular situation, to be there for them if and when they need me, for anything. For me, it's quite simple. it's a part of who I am, and for so long I used to hold back with everything, which never got me anywhere - I didn't grow and progress and I was scared all the time. Growing as a person is so important; and its importance became clearer to me during 2020. This blog is nothing too extraordinary - it's only a part of it.   This is just what I have to do, want to do and hopefully it will be extremely helpful to the both of us. In the blog series  Vent: for you and me, we will talk about relevant life lessons, how as humans, we tend to make things complicated when truly everything is simple. How doing day-to-day ac...
