The Struggle Between Love and Letting Go

  The Struggle Between Love and Letting Go They say life is a constant act of letting—letting go of people we love, things we cherish, everything that once meant the world to us. And yet, we are told, if it was truly meant for us, it will find its way back. But what’s the point of loving if we simply let go? I’ve always believed that love isn’t about surrendering at the first sign of difficulty.  Love is to keep loving, no matter what, and never letting it go from your soul—until it asks for leave, but even then, it will always remain a part of you. Yes, sometimes letting go is a sign of love. But what if we never try, and it was actually meant to stay? Maybe the universe only wanted us to put in some effort. Letting go after giving your everything is one thing—but letting go before even trying? That’s when we lose the chance to know if it was truly meant to be. Love, in its truest sense, is about balance. It is about holding close what matters to you and only letting go when...

Fear of Being Abandoned

  Fear of Being Abandoned Even when life looks okay on the surface, one fear never truly leaves—the fear of being abandoned. No matter how close you get, no matter how clearly someone shows that you matter to them, there’s always a quiet thought lingering in the background. What if one day they choose someone else?

Even the idea of being left by them is terrifying. So you try to protect yourself the only way you know how—by pulling away, creating distance, or leaving first. Because maybe it won’t hurt as much if you’re the one who walks away. It was never meant to be like this. But past trauma has a way of sneaking into the present, even when the present is bright. Why can’t we j...

How I Stay Sane When Life Gets Messy

  How I Stay Sane When Life Gets Messy Firstly, what is optimism? Most people call it positive thinking. But for me, it’s more than that. It’s the small spark that keeps you going when life feels heavy, messy, and completely out of control. Optimism is the ability to look at the brighter side even when everything around feels dark. It’s an art—maybe even a talent—and not all of us are born with it. There are phases in life when we’re at our most vulnerable. Nothing seems to go right. Every plan we carefully made starts falling apart. In those moments, even breathing feels heavy. Yet somehow, that one optimistic thought about the situation makes the weight feel a little lighter. For me, optimism has always been a way to escape—to run from phases that were never part of my planned road. Call me delusional if you want, but I call it optimism. I choose to think of all the positive outcomes a situation could lead to. This is how I try to see the silver lining: If I score less on somethi...
