Let Me Stay
Lemme hold you by your arms and lean on your shoulder. You take a few seconds to realize what just happened, look at me with a side eye, and then, gently, you lean your head on mine. And as we both close our eyes, our lips curve into soft smiles, and our hearts overflow with contentment. Can I? May I? Would you reciprocate the way you do in my dreams? Ohh... it's been ages since I last held you, but this time, it would be different. Everything has changed—WE have changed, the feelings have changed—yet somehow, everything still feels the same. The soft corner we’ve always had for each other remains untouched. The passion between us, the understanding, the unsaid promise we have kept for years, and the way we can share anything and everything without fear of judgment, without thinking twice. The way I speak to you is the way I talk to myself, or even better than that. I love talking, but the passion I have when I talk to you is different. I wanna tell you everything—from how pigeons always build nests on my balcony to the way I talk to God and you listen to me so patiently, not that I leave you with any other option, but you don’t just listen to what I say, you retain it. And even though I never show it, I remember everything you’ve ever said and done. I notice the way you’ve looked at me and others. I took note of how you like your food less spicy and which fresh juice you prefer. I know the way you frown and how you get vertical lines on your lips when you are upset. I miss listening to everything you’ve got to say—from how you got to know about that new brand, to what's the most annoying habit of your roommate. I wanna listen to everything you have got to say. You’ve always felt like home, and maybe that’s why, no matter how much time passes, the warmth of you still feels so familiar. I want you to hold my hands. May I? What would it feel like to intertwine our fingers? To feel the gentle press of your palm against mine, as if every space between my fingers was always meant to fit yours? I imagine it would feel like grounding myself in something safe, something real. Like holding the universe in my hands and knowing it’s all mine. Can I lean my back on your chest, hearing the rhythm of your heartbeat? I’d wonder how thinking about something so simple could give me shivers. Your arms around me, your breath steady against my skin, and that unshakable feeling that this—THIS—is where I’m meant to be. But would this always remain just a dream? Would these moments, these feelings, ever find their way into reality? Or am I destined to only live them in the quiet corners of my mind, where everything is perfect, but nothing is real? Tell me, will I ever be able to hold you like this, to live this dream, or will it forever remain a whispered wish, lost in the echoes of my heart?

Think Like a Woman, Act Like a Man
I know this topic is going to rub some people the wrong way. They'll say I'm part of the problem for perpetuating gender stereotypes, for daring to say that women and men have some differences that cause them to generally think and act in different ways.

Keep these things to yourself if you want to remain happy.
Stop telling people your business. Some individuals talk to you so they can talk about you. ― Nipsey Hussle How can I stop telling people, and when should I know I am an oversharer? There is a gray line. Pay attention to minor things, especially when the debate gets one-sided. Think about your privacy. Don’t share it. People can use it against you. My granny used to say. There is a reason we have two ears and one mouth: listen more and talk less. How and when to stop Don’t share your weakness. People will use it against you in the future. I love to celebrate my accomplishments with family and friends after obtaining them. Don’t disclose when you start. I don’t share my future plans with anyone but myself. I started many ventures in the past; all failed. I acquired excellent things, but the primary lesson I learned was that I was oversharing. I only discuss my side hustle after attaining specific results. First, I formed a practice of building the business with 100% effort, and if it still needed to work out. Then there is no use in sharing; if it turned out, it’s time to organize a family BBQ. I will eat at the restaurant unless I have to give a huge tip. You are not dining at the establishment to make someone happy or providing a hefty tip. My father-in-law has a basic concept about tipping that I follow all the time. If the food is good and the waiter is extremely proactive about everything and also nice, I'll give a good tip. And if the service is adequate, there is absolutely no tip. With this approach, I enter each eatery. Now the question arises: do I have to provide a tip each time despite the amazing service? The basic answer is no. Pleasing others? Never put the secret to your happiness in someone else.- Unknown Don’t change your style of living to make your parents or friends pleased. Please don’t spend your life doing something you despise only to make someone happy, or they will feel good. That is a loser's mentality. I don't care what other people think, and trust me, most of the time they are even thinking about you. Prioritize your happiness over everything. When you are happy, you will make other people happy; it's not going to work the other way around. I don’t like to share my material belongings. I like to keep my act of compassion secret. You don’t need to share or brag about it. I used to express my problems in studying hard to get ahead in life. I used to think it might motivate someone, but I don’t do it. I think my character is enough to motivate. Stop and establish this practice of donating before you speak. Meditation can benefit you a lot. I tried it for 30 days. Make a list of safe subjects to talk about. Does the person you are sharing with need to do it first? Develop a rereading habit before you send texts, emails, postings, etc. Emotions Recognize your oversharing feelings. Before giving personal information, consider if that person “needs to know” and what they may do with it. Be an active listener; let the other person perform the talking portion. It’s completely good to chat all the time. Keep your responses short. When you overshare, you open yourself up to criticism and judgment from others. The ending thoughts Joy comes not via possession or ownership but through a wise and loving heart. Buddha If you just focus on the natural method to stay joyful, listen more and talk less, No one is going to assist you in finding out what actually makes you happy. You have to introspect and find out what makes you happy. Here is a short experiment. Go on a long walk, ideally in nature Think, when was the last time you were actually happy? What made you happy? Is there a way to repeat it? Is it worth it? Tip: Stop pleasing other people. It's not worth it. Thank you for reading, and let me know what you are reading. Stay curious & keep learning.
