Craving bliss

  Woke up this morning and somehow something was amiss Was it the heat or a hunger for a face that I could kiss And then with the dawn it dawned upon Now that he was gone Its just me and my thoughts Let me go back to slumber Musing it was all a wishful dream "Oh wait" my heart skipped to say Curbing a longing that so belonged Wear a veil of glee and go along Hiding till it healed strong Sent a silent prayer to the heavens above Drape my heart with kindness and love Because life goes on and so shalt thou. - Love, tetalz ❤

Lost yesterdays

  I may be down but that’s not where I’m meant to be The dirt under my feet will wash away the sadness of tomorrow Is that the sunrise on the ken? Or my face in the afterglow For shall tear wash away the pain And bring the memories unperturbed Of sweetness and innocence Of easy days and sleepy nights In the shadow of today a better tomorrow awaits. - Love,  tetalz ❤

How can life turn toxic - 9 reasons it all went downhill after you thought it has all worked out?

We all attain a point in our lives when we are at the top of our game. Feeling of happiness and contentment comes naturally. As they say, reaching your “hunky-dory”. Sometime back, I was in such a situation myself. A job I loved, a family who loved and supported me, a partner whom I adored, my knight in shining armor, strong bonds, and even stronger dreams. I could not believe life could be so fair to me, granting me every wish, like I suddenly became God’s favorite child. And before I knew it, I was alone in my room having panic attacks and popping anti-depression pills. Friends left, my knight felt he needed to move on, family doubting me and to top it all, my job suffered, and so did my health. Sitting alone with nothing but my haunting thoughts, days became nights and nights turned into days. Tears would not stop and feeling of misery would not leave me alone. It felt like I fell from the seventh heaven to the rock bottom. One moment I was planning my wedding, and the next moment I

  How difficult it is for you to let go of your previous mistakes? Do you find it hard to delegate tasks to others in fear that they might mess it? Do you stay gloomy when even a simple conversation does not go as per your plans? If all this sounds like you, you might be a perfectionist after all. A perfectionist is a person whose goal is to plan every move, rethink every thought and weigh every word before speaking. A perfectionist has an impulsive urge to know the outcome before they invest their time or efforts or resources into something. I know what you might be thinking that all of us were curious as kids and now that we’re adults, our priorities have changed and that we may not delve deeper into the basic stuff, stuff that we’ve been doing for years like making a cup of tea. Well, yes, time and again everyone gets such feelings, but a perfectionist stays a perfectionist for tasks ranging from threading a needle to running a country.   Everything needs to be accurate, precise w

Create with the heart; build with the mind!

  Best time to reconnect with yourself is right now I personally find that creating things is a one-way ticket to happiness, peace and calm amidst the chaos. It helps you slow down and relax, irrespective of the situation you might find yourself in. The time spent in doing such activities is another easier way of taking a break from your devices. Another form of meditation which is the need of the hour in this world.

A letter to the person who broke me

What’s it like to be hurt so bad that it totally changes your outlook – And I am not talking about the suddenly blossomed grey hairs, hmmm... wait a minute -  towards life. If unfortunately your go-to answer is YES, , please go-ahead and rummage through the whole of it. If fortunately your answer is NO, please go-ahead and rummage through the whole of it.  Sometimes life doesn’t give you any choices as I did now. Why? I’ll let you know at the end. So rummage on. I recently had a bout of infection which restricted my mind and soul into quarantine. A room with myself, my thoughts, and my coughing-wheezing body is enough to get all sort of shenanigans running amok in anybody’s mind, I tell you. From scraping and sanitizing every inch of the surface, to tracking down every neuron and  christening it in  my  head,  I’ve  visited  everywhere and then some in those 2 weeks (because that’s all where you can go!). I was trying so hard to stay away from the NEWS and bad thoughts that I kept re
