The Mind or The Heart ?

-

Something that comes up constantly and consistently is a paradox between the head and the heart. Often times, we are caught dangling in the battle of our mind and the heart about most situations in life. The push and the pull between what is logical and what feels emotionally right is so challenging. There's a constant voice running around our heads - "I'm stuck in this war between my heart and my mind''. There is a lot on your mind. Your heart is full, yet heavy. You have a lot of uncertainties and hopeless moments, but also feels like you know the answers, instinctually. It's hard.

Why are we given the head and heart, which are so clearly to be in opposition ? Why do we constantly feel like we need to choose ? 

Because it is likely that we are going to choose the heart. Again, and again - until our brains scream at us loud enough to be logical or reasonable enough. But, do we really listen ? We hope for our hearts to be right. We keep playing with the flame that burns us in hopes that we'll either get used to the burn or it will magically stop hurting us this time. Our heart is like a kid and our mind is a fully fledged human for the world. Choosing your heart gives you inner bliss and choosing your mind gives you what the world has for you. It depends on the circumstances to choose between the two, wisely. 

Sometimes your heart needs to accept whatever your mind already knows. If it's still in your mind, then it's still in your heart. When we hear something about our past or anything at all, our hearts tend to take the good news from it whereas our minds take the bad news. That's how it is most of the times - leading to an unending battle. 

You've got to train your mind to be stronger than your emotions or else you will lose yourself, every time. Your mind needs to be convinced of the truth that it has to let go because your heart already knows how to heal. If you avoid the conflict to keep the peace, then you start a war inside yourself. Your sanity shouldn't be sacrificed in order to defy logic. It doesn't mean you're weak just because your mind and heart feels so damn heavy!

Your heart is at war with your mind because it is preparing for the heart that is meant for you. 

Hold your heart! Set your mind free!
When your mind takes control, your heart will start listening to your mind. When your heart finally accepts what your mind already knows, things will change and you won't be the same person who first walked in. 
Until then, we've got to keep feeling this feeling.

role of camera rolls.

Sharing camera rolls are something that's personal. It’s not just about the photos—they're opening up and trusting me with their most personal moments. Their camera is filled with memories they cherish, and by sharing, they’re saying, “I trust you to see this part of my world.” You get to see their joy, their travels, their special people, and even the little things that make them smile, like their favorite food or their pets. Sometimes they might rush past a photo of themselves that they don't like, but to you, it’s adorable. It’s in these moments you see the comfort they feel, the trust they’ve built with you, as they let you into these raw, unfiltered parts of their life. But this trust and openness go deeper. It’s a reminder that you should never settle for less than what you deserve.  When someone feels comfortable enough to share their highs and lows, to let you into their world, that’s a bond built on mutual respect and care. Once you experience this kind of connect

Some people weave into your life so deeply that erasing them becomes an impossible feat. In every aspect, even the pettiest daily references, their memory lingers, making even the act of breathing a reminder of them. There's a constant replay of their face, of the memory you shared that's stuck at the back of your mind and you just can't shake it. Right from the moment you open your eyes to the final blink at night, tons and tons of memories flood through you - unfailingly, terribly reminding you of them. Not everyone we meet leaves such an indelible mark. But there are those few who infiltrate our existence, entirely. And when they leave, letting go becomes insurmountable. You can neither hate them nor resent them. You can't NOT think of them even if you don't want to because they've infiltrated every corner of your life. They're there everywhere,   reminding you of everything. From brushing your teeth to the soundtrack of some random song during lunch, ev

You can't stop the rain from pouring.  You can't stop the thunder from lightening.  You can't count the raindrops every second. You can't get rid of the canon events. You can't forget and remember things at the same time. You can't start with love and end with itself. You can't ignore their thoughts and memories.  YOU JUST CAN'T . But - You can only go with the flow.  Sometimes, you want to be loved - the right kind of love. The kind of love where you don't have to ask for it, where you don't have to tell. The kind of love that's real. Nothing fancy. Nothing delusional. Nothing extraordinary. A love that's simple, easy. A text that reads "Hey, I miss you" at the middle of the day. A call to just hear your voice. Dropping by your place with your favorite food to make you feel better when you're having a bad day. All the little things! Self-love is great, but receiving love from another person who can take care of you, love y
