The beauty of Spring lies in Autumn

-

Spring is arguably the best season on Earth. Sprouting of flowers from the buds of a plant, chirping of birds and the constant flow of cool breeze makes you feel alive and kicking. Almost everything you see is coming to life and even those trees which have shown zero signs of life are budding flowers which is so satisfying to see and the entire environment is covered with vegetation.

I feel like Spring signifies the best moments in our lives. All the victories we have had, the cheerful moments with our loved ones, all the experiences of the inexplicable wonders of nature resembles epitome of ecstasy. We feel on the top of the world during these times but sometimes during these, we fail to realize what actually got us there.

It was a result of all the hard work that you poured in before hand. When there’s a dopamine surge in our brains i.e, when we achieve something it drops our IQ by at least 50 points. We just get in the moment emotionally that we are unable to process things in a rational way and understand what all sacrifices we have done in order to get this. We’re blinded by the present and forget our roots.

The roots of that helped us make an identity, carve our own way in life.

The same applies to seasons, if it wasn’t for autumn where we see the fall of leaves, blight of flowers and basically the drying out of environment, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate the beauty of spring. There’s winter between autumn and spring which makes us adapt to the environment and somehow forget that we had a season of drought and when spring finally arrives we rejoice in nature as if it’s a miracle. Just the way when we focus on some task and zone out of everything else, sometimes even forgetting what and why did we set out to achieve this for! we fail to have a holistic view. If only autumn and spring were next to each other we would be able understand that all the goodness in life comes after a bad phase that is why when you’re going through a tough phase just keep in mind that a bright future is just around the corner.

This is why the real beauty of Spring lies in Autumn.

What is it like to share your life with someone?

There are a handful of memories which stays with you for a lifetime, moving out of your parents house and living alone is one and that feeling gets a total new turn when you start living with someone. Of course here living with someone infers to living with your partner rather than a roommate/friend because you picture your life with that person in a totally different way compared to a friend. You start to share responsibilities of the household together and it feels like you’re starting a new home outside of your real home where you were brought up in. All the things initially are very rosy and you’ll love every bit of it and then slowly the differences will creep in. You’ll want to do something and your partner would want something else. In most cases you will be able to find a common ground and resolve the issues but there will be times when both of you will be poles apart. Such situations will create a havoc in your relationship. You’ll start questioning what’s the point of being t

Why do many people stay mediocre in life | A Philosopher's Perspective

Mediocrity more than a self realization stems from the society’s expectation from us; which is not necessarily a bad thing. And in this article we will understand why. But before we understand that, here is why people stay mediocre in life. Most people stay mediocre in life because they get accustomed to the comfort zone they’re in. Even if they’re not really where they want to be, extended period of anything be it a bad situation becomes comforting and it becomes very difficult to choose uncertainty over comfort. Credits: Unsplash Cocooned in the comfort zone It is obvious that someone who is drowning will put his life to swim above the water even though he doesn’t know how to swim. But someone who already knows how to swim and is not in a difficult situation is relaxed and stress free. Now if you ask him to level up his swimming skills or to learn surfing, seeing the amount of learning curve it has, he will rather opt out of it. This scenario happens to all of us countless times in

When you loose touch of your previous self - The Good and The Bad

Okay this post is a realization and reflection of what I’ve been going through. To put it bluntly, I have not written anything in past couple of months. Although the dates on each post reflect reach month but that is adjusted, I have not touched the keyboard in about half a year. And I feel I have lost touch of writing, not only does this feel like a task task, I don’t see the point altogether. Maybe I need sometime to revive my old though process but frankly I don’t want to. I am planning to quit writing, by this obviously I mean writing articles on this blog. I still believe writing as a way to vent out suppressed emotions is one of the best ways to heal and grow. I don’t know why but since yesterday when I decided that I will stop writing, there was a sense of relief in my mind that I do not have to do all of these tasks and now I can utilize all of this time for something else. I maybe wrong in this and if that is true, you’ll see me back here again but if not, Sayonara it is!
