Wandering soul, Wandering eye, Wondering what's gone wrong with me🦋 The Trouble of Wanting by Joy W

Hey there people! Nidhi is back with another narrative! As always, not here to rant, I'm here to give you a decent reading time. My blogs are aimed at giving you the slice-of-life feels and not to preach you and teach you, we're here to ponder and learn together.

We are here to see the butterflies hopping from one flower to another. We aren't here to brainstorm whether the butterflies should fly or not? Do they choose the flowers? How do they fly? Why do they fly?

When you waste time on these questions, you miss the mesmerizing moments where a blue coloured butterfly treated our eyes!

Same goes with life. If you keep on looking for questions, and then their answers, you miss on the most important part about it, breathing joy and living life to the fullest!

BTW How has life been? I know we all have different answers, but yes my dear, struggle is a commonality. We all are fighting our own battles, and trying to save our clans from the troops and running away from imposters. We don't have an option, but to stay in the prevalent game among us.

I know, in such saddening (read: maddening) times, it's difficult to wake up, brush your teeth and get dressed up to go nowhere. Though we all love our homes, and our house feels like a warm hug, but isn't it true that we love coming back to it, after a long day at work. How do you appreciate and value the taste of honey, if you haven't had anything which doesn't taste like honey?!

The irony of the situation is that we do feel that our house is our space in this wide and wild world, but nowadays we Can't Keep Calm, and Won't Keep Calm, and we want to get out of this shelter home...The world outside our house, is waiting for us with equal anticipation.

Did you ever think that there will be a time when going to the grocery store will light up your face, because you'll get rewarded with a trip, down the memory lane, yes it has now become a fond memory to wander and lust over the trip feels.

Before you sulk and feel sorry for the world and for yourself, try to look for the butterfly and the reasons to be happy, to celebrate. During these harsh times try to be gentle with yourself.

Celebrate! Celebrate your small victories, and acknowledge your efforts. This way you can reward yourself with the Best. Gift. Ever. "The Zeal to Live Life!"

If you like to live life because you feel that it's a better option than death, then you are just existing on this planet. If you love to stay alive and awesome, because each day is a new chapter and starts with a "Once upon a time....." and you feel that you are this Youtuber with the best vlogging content, and you want to document each day of your life and face everyone, because you're accountable to your subscribers (read: friends and family) and if you feel that better days are on their way...then you are living life and all your sadness, obstacles, falls and all the sulking lows, will just be another day from your vlog.

Congratulate yourself if you've brushed your teeth on time, if you've helped a friend, if you've read a classic by your favourite author etc. Keep a check on your mental health and ask yourself if you're happy. Reward yourself with the best coffee/tea and a stargazing session! Dance your heart out. Start living and we'll soon reach to the tunnel's bright end, stay sad and you won't even notice that there's a bright end!

Keep Hustling! Keep Shining!
