The days are going too fast. What’s going on?

When you experience phases of life that fuck you up and shatter your confidence, darkness spreads all around you. Then, your only option is to go deep within, find a meaning to live, and become your own light. So that you can ward off the darkness that's consuming you.

Number of the beast

"I only have so much patience for reality."
Whispers of the Unmaker: None of the Above 2 (if I ever finish the darn book).

No one will give you a chance if you keep waiting for your turn. You have to ask for what you want.

“Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ”

―William James

The fruits of a tree fall only when they’ve ripened. Similarly, we can’t let go of people, emotions, and relationships just by letting go. We let go when we’ve accepted the changes with passing time.

“Dreaming keeps you from seeing what’s right here in front of you.”

But what if I’m sick of what’s right here in front of me?

Because failures and rejections sting less the more you go through them. It’s like building an emotional muscle.

There comes a saturation point where you’ve had so many failures and rejections that you stop taking it personally.

Alone is when you want to recharge your batteries.

Lonely is when you feel unloved and you feel no one understands you.

Giving away kindness is the best to live your life. That kindness will not only come back to you multiplied, but you'll also be deeply satisfied when you start helping others.

“I don't know if any of us are ever completely cured of anything”

Even though you feel like you lost a lot of time and you’re no longer in your 20s, start today. Because the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

A lot of people are lonely in our over-connected world. Yes, we push others away because we don’t want to be hurt anymore.

But we get unlucky sometimes and have no one to talk to.

So, be kind when a friend calls you after a long time. However, don't do it at the expense of your own sanity.

A lot of our problems would vanish if we stopped getting distracted — learning & planning to solve our problems on our phones and the internet —and instead focused on finishing the work that we had started.

Abstract and theory sell better than the bitter truth that actually works.

Even though having a difficult past or the onset of a condition hasn't been your fault, it's your responsibility to do something about it.

But you've changed today. You are no longer the person you were. You are a disciplined, consistent, and hard-working individual, and that is your reality. And you've to accept that from now on, you'll see your to-do list empty from time to time.

It's difficult to get in terms with a shrinking to-do list because you never finished all your tasks. You procrastinated and jumped from one incomplete task to another.

When you start being consistent and disciplined, your to-do list shrinks smaller and smaller everyday, until there are no tasks left to tick off.

Fighting multiple enemies at once means death — both in real life and video games. I forget this simple rule & start multiple projects at once, get overwhelmed, and end up doing nothing. So, my solution is to run away from these tasks, take rest, recover, and then annihilate them one by one.

You start imagining things others don't think and believing things others don't say about you. This creates confusion both in your mind and your real life and relationships.

Therefore, it's crucial you deliver on your own promises and expectations.

Failing to deliver on your own promises and expectations decreases your confidence and makes you insecure.

Introverts may not seem to live an interesting life. Because they don't talk much or participate in social activities.

But trust me, in their minds, they live 10 different lives that are much more interesting than the lives of many great men and women.

We may philosophise all the philosophies, but we rarely value who and what we have. We realise their value only after they leave. Probably, one of the biggest tragedies of human beings.
