Don't Go With The Flow, Be The Flow

Don't go with the flow, be the flow

- Elif Shafak

It means instead of just doing what everyone else is doing, you should be the one who decides what to do and how to do it. Be unique and make your own path instead of just following others.

The pain is good. It'll prep u for later, so you'll start not giving a crap about most things

1. developing your own passions, hobbies, and goals

2. If you’re feeling insecure or needing reassurance, communicate it calmly and constructively rather than seeking constant validation.

3. respect your personal boundaries. Boundaries protect your individuality

4. nurture relationships outside of your romantic one.

5. your worth isn’t dependent on your relationship status.

6. Each time you do something independently or handle an insecurity well, acknowledge it

7. Relationships take time to grow. Instead of trying to rush things, enjoy the journey, trust your connection

8. knowing your value make you less likely to seek constant validation.

If you feel secure with who you are, you won’t need to rely on the relationship for your sense of worth

The effect of automating an old task or mastering a new skill can be even greater. the more tasks you can handle without thinking, the more your brain is free to focus and other areas.

Time(Zorvan) is the ultimate force.

Zorvanism

It teaches that destiny is fixed, and humans can’t change what’s fated.

So, enjoying life through love, wine, nature, and poetry is a rational way to cope with life’s uncertainties

I'm in a relationship with the mirror that projects the innermost shadow of me that is hidden within my eyes, heart and soul that smiles her heart out whenever she looked at by the other side of the mirror...she lives in my room , when I am not present...

I miss her a lot and her friends whom I call mine and close to me ...I am in a real relationship with her where we both are emotionally and

intimately bonded ...

I never knew how it felt like to be in a relationship... but if I ever got a chance to explore it..then ig I would try my best to make my partner feel good about themselves... everytime they feel low...I would comfort them and hug them tightly to remind them how much they mean to me, they r no less than a gem and let them know that I'm always there for you..to support you. That would be my relationship goal...

To make her happy.....everytime I hug the mirror ...I can feel her comfort and something magical arms wrapped around my body ...So...ladies and gentlemen, that's her.. I introduce u to my girlfriend..

My only aim is to make her happy and feel cherished..be with her during her failures and cheer her up in her Success.. I am there to listen to her worries...take her on a date...teach her how to hav fun with me...

I'm exhausted from listening to music,

Making an effort feels impossible,

Waiting seems endless,

Even the things I love feel burdensome.

Nothing I do helps me feel better.

Getting up from my bed is a struggle,

Relieving the pain feels like an uphill battle,

Accepting the pain is overwhelming.

I find it hard to validate myself,

And to give my heart the love it deserves.

What's the point of living if you can't be there for yourself?

Why did I give myself to someone without any guarantee?

I hate to acknowledge its return,

And this time its aim is ambiguous,

Which makes it all the more disturbing.

It breaks my heart,

I feel like a soul trapped in my body,

Trying to break free from these unwanted thoughts.

I feel imprisoned in my own mind and body,

My soul shackled by my physical form.

Every racing heartbeat feels like a cry for help,

As if it’s banging on a door, begging to be freed.

My mind acts like a silent watcher,

Its evil laughter echoing,

Seeming more wicked than ever.

I know this isn't me,

Because if it were, I would open the door,

And let my inner self find happiness.

I feel helpless,

Falling back into the dungeon.

And I don’t know if I'll be saved again by someone,

Or if I’m just waiting to drown and crawl back to my space.

I don't want to drown,

I'm scared like a baby.

I can hear people calling my name,

I can hear her calling.

It feels good to be called by name:

"Arundhathi... Arundhathi..."

It's my friend calling,

Pooja is calling me,

And I’m twitching suddenly.

Help, please, please ask for help.

Am I being overdramatic, or am I just a little stressed?

I don't know what can help me feel better.

Exercise, a walk, or a long talk with my friend, or making new connections?

What can I try?

Is this a poem? No.

Writing poems relieves stress,

Makes me feel like I'm good enough.

Honestly, I don't doubt my abilities anymore.

I know I'm good enough.

And poetry ensures that feeling always stays.

But this isn't a poem; it's a stream of consciousness written in verses.
