When insecurities hit so hard

So I'm trying to put into words what it feels like when insecurities hit hard. It's like a tidal wave crashing over me, engulfing me in doubt and fear.

There are moments when I feel like I'm not good enough – not smart enough, not attractive enough, not successful enough. It's a constant battle between my rational mind and the voice of insecurity that whispers in the back of my head, feeding off my vulnerabilities.


I find myself comparing myself to others, measuring my worth against their achievements and appearances. It's a toxic cycle that only leaves me feeling more inadequate and alone.

But amidst the storm of self-doubt, there are moments of clarity. Moments when I realize that my insecurities do not define me. They are a part of me, yes, but they do not have the power to control me.

I've learned that it's okay to feel insecure sometimes. It's okay to have doubts and fears. What's important is how I choose to respond to them.


Instead of letting my insecurities consume me, I'm learning to embrace them. I'm learning to acknowledge them, to sit with them, and to understand where they come from.

And in doing so, I've discovered that vulnerability is not weakness – it's strength. It takes courage to confront our insecurities, to face them head-on and say, "I may not have it all together, but I'm still worthy of love and acceptance."

So here I am, baring my soul here, hoping that someone out there will read these words and know that they are not alone.


We all have insecurities, but we also have the power to rise above them, to find strength in our vulnerability, and to embrace ourselves – flaws and all.

And if you're reading this and struggling with your own insecurities, just know that you are enough, just as you are. You are worthy of love, happiness, and all the good things life has to offer.

So let's embrace our insecurities together, and let them be a reminder that we are beautifully human – imperfect, yet perfectly deserving of love and belonging.


Wishing you a great day.

Thank you :)

When attachment hurts

The hardest part of attachment isn’t always losing someone - it’s watching them drift away because of life. Not because they’ve stopped caring, not because they’ve changed as a person, but because circumstances stepped in. Distance, busy days, different paths. Suddenly, the friend who once felt like your everyday comfort now feels like a guest in your life. And it hurts in ways words can’t carry. The calls grow fewer, the replies slower, the laughter shorter. You tell yourself, 'they still care… it’s just life'. But your heart aches anyway, because attachment makes you sensitive. Every small change feels like a loud silence. Yet, even through the ache, you can’t deny how beautiful it is when such friendships first arrive in your life. The ones you never expected - born out of a random moment, a casual conversation, or sheer coincidence - end up carving the deepest spaces in your heart. These friends make the world feel lighter, like you’ve been handed a quiet gift you didn’t ev...

But still..

It is hard, but still… we go on. It is heavy, but still… we carry it. It is uncertain, but still… we hope. It is painful, but still… we love again. Because somehow, deep down, we know - life doesn’t stop for the storms. And maybe that’s what makes it beautiful. It’s not always easy to wake up and try again when everything inside you wants to give up. But you still do - quietly, stubbornly, beautifully. You may not even realize it, but that’s courage. Not the loud, movie kind; the soft, everyday kind that says, "I’ll face today anyway.” It is confusing - when people you cared for drift away, when plans fall apart, when dreams take longer than they should. But still… you find small reasons to smile; a good song, a sunset, a message from someone who remembers. That’s life’s way of saying, “Keep going, you’re not done yet.” It is tiring to be the strong one all the time. To be the listener, the comforter, the one who understands while silently needing to be understood. But still… you ...

The absurdity of suffering

Bad times don't just "feel bad". They feel like suffocation. Like something heavy pressing on your chest that no one else can see. I don't try to make suffering prettier than it is. Pain is real, and when you're in it, advice feels hollow. And yet, something strange happens with time. Some of the deepest insights I've seen in people's lives didn't come wrapped in joy and clarity. They came from heartbreak, from disappointments, from nights that felt endless. There's something absurd about how much we learn from suffering, how pain becomes a kind of teacher no one asked for, but everyone meets eventually. The existential lens does not sugarcoat things. Life has no built-in meaning. We suffer, often without reason, and sometimes we break. But within that absurdity lies freedom; we get to choose how we respond. The suffering may not be meaningful in itself, but what we do with it can be. That's where the human spirit becomes something fierce and b...
