Changing Circles

It's funny; But, I've come to realise that i tend to write more when something is not going right in my head.  I logged in through my id and realised that my blogpost was gone. Whooosh! just gone. I panicked , trying to find a solution and eventually  gave up.  My soul and body were not in alignment.

I admire chaos- but this wasn't one of those days. I was acting moody, shouting at everyone, just staying in my room  and writing/drawing. I got out every now and then- thinking that my mood might change- but, every time i got back , it was back to 0.  Then, after a few weeks of just being by myself and writing/drawing everything down- i realised that my diary will always always be there for me no matter what. Not judge me ( not that it matters), act mean or just leave.  I told a few of my close friends about it- broke down in front of them and realised that you need people as well to support and be there for you. I don't do that very often- but, am trying, everyday.  And, let me tell you, i am so blessed to have them in my life. Sure, i can jot down my feelings in a diary- but, that's it. 

A very close friend of mine said this whilst trying to cheer me up 

" If only we could help ourselves then this world would be a very lonely place. Put it in a balloon and let it float."

Today, better than what i was a few weeks back, i finally logged in. It was synced to my personal account. This wouldn't have happened if my mind wasn't calm.  I feel better and i'll get better. 

Whilst going through my blog- i realised that there was this one particular blogpost that i didn't publish. Made me realise how far I've come.Maybe that's what i needed to hear- the old me - telling that don't give up- you've long long way to go.   So, here goes. :) 

" I personally think that broken hearts can lead to some serious creativity. I am not saying that happy people can't create magic, they totally can. but thats just the way i think. I know the world out there is very cruel and trying its best to change you, but don't be foolish! be strong and face your fears.

I don't think about the world anymore, sometimes loneliness is the best way to unleash your creativity. There are days when i feel " oh man, i can't do this anymore" and then there are days when i say to myself" I CAN DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD" . Its a curse/gift you have to live with for the rest of your life for being an artist.

Stop thinking when you click a picture and just take a deep breath and say to yourself i can make this picture magical!

I remember when i was in school, i hated math, i used to wait for art class to start. Funny thing is when i won my 1st award(all India painting competition) i came 3rd out of 1000s of entries. Here comes the funny part , when i got my medal and certificate , i told my mum" i didn't even paint that drawing" :s. she just laughed.

I think i was so engrossed in my world that i didn't even realize that i actually painted that drawing.

I would rather be called a daydreamer than some stupid employee.

I prefer daydreams over reality

Let me know what you think!

best,
