What makes you different?

I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

So, what actually makes us all different?

Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

What if he’d come outside?

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Can you make it?

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

What are some hard rock or heavy metal bands that are overrated?

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

Is Max Verstappen unstoppable this season?

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

For those who were actually old enough to have experienced the 1970s and not for those who were born in the 70s. What were the pros and cons of that era?

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

What makes you YOU.

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

So, keep on experimenting.

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.

What are some effective ways to cope with loss and grief?

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Agree?

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
