A Strange Girl!!
Arna May 16
For Her
Appearance doesn't matter,
But a kind heart does.
Unwanted attention? No.
A true shoulder to lean on — yes.
Fake concerns don’t move her,
But sincere words always will.

Yes —
She may seem strange to you,
Because you can't decipher her soul.
She’s a rare gem
Amid all the world’s noisy pleasures...
She shines brightest
In the quiet kingdom of her own world.
"She isn’t defined by the world’s standards — she listens with her soul, loves with her heart, and lives in her truth."

When Presence Hurts
Arna May 27
"It's hard to live in a place where your existence feels more like a burden than a responsibility."
Some truths hurt, but they also remind us we’re not alone in feeling them.

Painful moments...
Arna May 18
Giving fake smiles...
Hiding pain infront of family...
Confusion of what to share and what to hide...
Fear of perspective changes...
Fed up with sympathy around...
Being unloved...
One side efforts...
Losing loved ones ...
Getting stranger vibes from close ones...
Taking blame without fault...
Lack of clarity in life...
Handling panics on your own...
Bad?
Probably the worst!!
The silent struggles people go through — especially the pain that hides behind a smile and the burden of emotional isolation.
"If you relate, know you're not alone."

Unwritten Ties
Arna Jun 9
“Some people come from nowhere and become family.”
It’s not always blood that builds a bond — sometimes it’s shared laughs, silent support, and showing up when it matters.

Unapologetically Me
Arna Jun 11
“People are always there to judge… but I’m not here to collect their judgments.”
Walk your path with pride. The noise around you? Just echoes that don’t matter.

No Regrets, Only Lessons
Arna May 20
Don’t let a day to come in your life when you grieve on your past days for not using them wisely.
"Every day is a blank page — don’t wait for tomorrow to wish you had started today. Make your time count now so your future self thanks you, not resents you."

The Addiction Loop
Arna May 18
"We can get rid of addiction by getting addicted to another addiction.
It can be negative on positive or positive on negative."
"Swapping one cage for another. Choose wisely."

Silent Brilliance
Arna Jun 17
"Sometimes,
it’s not necessary to show people in which aspect you are the best and prove that you are talented.
Some things remain precious when hidden."
"Not all light needs a spotlight. Some strengths shine best in silence."
Arna May 21
"The deepest life lessons come from: mistakes, trust breaks and
realizations."
The deepest life lessons aren’t taught—they’re felt.
Through mistakes that scar, trust that shatters, and realizations that change everything… we grow.
Arna Jun 20
Every profession, situation, or phase of life carries its own set of complications — ones only truly known to those living through them.
Students struggle with academic stress.
Employees are haunted by deadlines.
Players carry the weight of victory and defeat.
Nations wrestle with public welfare and diplomacy.
Parents worry endlessly about their child’s future.
Teenagers silently endure the taunts of relatives.
Women face the constant glare of societal judgment.
Failures are mocked, and winners are burdened by expectations.
And every girl's family quietly bears the unspoken burden of dowry and marriage.
"Not everything we see is all there is. Behind every smile, there's a silent storm."

A home?
Arna May 16
A home?
A place where your mornings start with scoldings and nights end with arguments?
A place where you are unloved?
A place where you don’t even know what your siblings feel about you?
A place you are having heavy heartbeats and panics?
A place where you don’t feel like sharing anything?
A place where your existence doesn’t seem worthy?
A place where you can’t even cry peacefully?
A place where no one express what they feel?
Is this place called a home Maa?
Is it? Really?
“Built with bricks, filled with pain — can that ever be called a home?”
Arna Jun 13
"When life seems tough, nature becomes the silent healer—calming the mind, soothing the soul, and reminding us that even storms pass."
In the chaos of life, nature whispers peace.
A walk among trees, the sound of rain, or a gentle breeze—
sometimes that's all the therapy we need.

Friend to Stranger
Arna May 16
She was not too close,
Also not so unknown.
She was not a friend for life…
Neither just friend.
But still…
She always respected my opinions
Listened to all my blabbering
Bared all my naughty antics
Secured all my secrets
Understood all my feelings

Yes!! She was special and her absence is getting hard now.
"Not a forever friend, not a stranger either… just someone who understood me in silence and stayed without a label. Now her absence echoes louder than words ever could."

Whispers of Nature
Arna May 28
Passing clouds...
Soft blowing winds...
Melodious bird chirps...
Lushy green bushes...
Soothing cool waves...
Beautiful flower gardens...
Sunrise and sunsets...
Stary nights...
Calming moonlight...

Little things of nature yet give unknown happiness and sense of peace.
In the quiet of little things, nature reminds us that peace doesn’t shout—it softly stays.

Gratitude
Arna May 17
Be thankful to your parents...
Be grateful to God....
Be obedient to your teachers....
Be there for your friends...
Be available for any help....
Show gratitude to everyone you meet....
As everyone has their own perspective and policies....
Some may teach us how to behave and rest about how not to be....
There will be many to give advises on how to behave...
But it's important to learn from the one who is imperfect and show them your version of being perfect!!!
"Gratitude isn’t about having everything — it’s about seeing the beauty in what you already have."

What was her fault?
Arna May 16
What was her fault?    
A desire to have a family?
A sacrifice which created another family?
A dream to be a working woman?
A want to live happy?
A life to see her children achieve big?
A kind hearted nature who always searched her happiness in her people's happiness?
What was her fault after all??
"Heaven gained her. I’m left with the question — what was her fault?"
Arna May 27
People call me strange.
They say I live in fantasies.
They call me weird, shy—
A soul who always tries to escape from reality.
An impractical, imperfect introvert.

But what people don't know is:
I’m not strange—just simple and safe in my own space.
Not a survivor of fantasies,
But someone who uses them to ease the weight of life.
Not weird, but vowful.
Not an escaper, but an exceptionist.

I am not broken—just different.
Not lost—just elsewhere.
Not weak—just layered.
Not escaping—but creating.

So let them call me strange,
But know this—
In a world that often forgets to feel,
Maybe strange is exactly what we need.
To be misunderstood isn't a flaw—it's a sign you're not afraid to feel, to dream, to create. In a world numbed by noise, maybe being strange is the truest form of strength.
Arna Jun 23
Nothing can make things worthless.
A failed mission cannot make technology useless.
A drought or a failed crop can never make a farmer any less.
A crumbled book cover or a torn page cannot make the book less valuable.
A not-so-good-looking dish cannot be any less in taste.
Everything has its own worth.
Even if it faces failures, gets destroyed in some ways— it remains worthy, unchanged to the eyes that know its value.
"It’s not the cracks or failures that define worth, but the eyes that see beyond them."
Arna May 17
Every problem has a solution...
Every field has it's significance...
Every child has their own talent...
Every parent has their own parenting style...
Every doubt has it's clarity...
Every disease has it's remedy and medicine...
And every failure has a day of success.
"In the puzzle of life, every piece has meaning — even the ones we don’t understand yet."

Random Peace
Arna May 18
I find peace in darkness...
I crave for my alone time...
I wait to get drenched in rain...
I like chopping onions...
I love taking shower...
I prefer nights over mornings...
Because these small moments allow me to let out my concerns, weep in peace and let my tears flow without others knowing and no need to give explainations to my tears.
"Peace found in places where emotions are free to flow."
Arna May 26
Some things in life we carry,
Not because we care,
But because we must.
Like faded promises,
And roles we never asked for—
They cling to our spine,
Etching silence into our skin.

Not every burden is born of love.
Some are stitched with duty,
Unseen, unpraised,
Yet always there—
A shadow in the light,
A name we answer to,
Even when our heart stays silent.

We don't resent it.
But we don't cherish it either.
We simply carry.
Because someone must.
"Some things can only be carried as a responsibility throughout the life
and can never be out of love."

Life Truths
Arna May 17
I just read a quote today which said :
"A fresh rose lives for days,
but a dead rose lives for forever."

But it is completely opposite in human life...
An alive person is judged, compared and unloved but a dead person is remembered, respected and lasts only in memories.
"Roses bloom, fade, and leave a lasting memory. Humans live, struggle, and are remembered after they're gone."

Silent Expectations
Arna May 26
Every time I expect something from life,
A flood of questions rises within:
Don't expect. Accept and adjust.
Be happy with what you have.
Many don’t even have what you do.
And many more voices echo the same.

But what if my expectations are simple?
A homely atmosphere,
A loving family,
A supportive friend,
A peaceful life,
A meaningful profession.

Are these huge to expect from life?

I believe in self-love.
I believe we shouldn’t depend on others for happiness.
But in the long run, we all need someone—
Someone who admires our efforts,
Someone who showers love and care,
Someone who stays loyal,
Someone who lifts us when we fall,
Someone to lean on—when self-care isn’t enough.
"Sometimes, the smallest hopes feel like the biggest dreams. Is it really too much to ask?"

Not just words
Arna May 30
They call it pichi rathalu,
a waste of ink and time.
But they don’t see the tremble in my hands
when I hold a pen,
or the storm I quiet
by pouring pain into lines.

Each word I write
is a cry I never screamed,
a tear I never showed,
a wound I stitched
with syllables no one dared to read.

They say, “Just study, forget all this.”
But how do you forget
what saved you?

These writings—
they aren’t just thoughts.
They’re survival.
They’re scars made beautiful.


"Let Them Call It Madness"

They call it pichi rathalu.
They laugh. Say I’m wasting time.
Say I should just focus on studies, like everyone else.

But they don’t know.

They don’t know these pages hold my pain—
not drama, not attention-seeking.
Real pain. The kind that keeps you up at 2 AM.
The kind that chokes you when you're trying to smile.

I write because if I don’t, I’ll explode.
I write because it’s the only thing that listens without judgment.
Because no one asked me,
“What happened?”
They just said,
“Be strong.”
“Move on.”
“Stop being so emotional.”

So I bleed on paper.
That’s not madness. That’s survival.

Let them call it anything.
This—
this is the only thing keeping me alive.
They call it madness.
But they don’t see the battles I silence with ink.
This isn’t just writing —
It’s survival.
It’s the language of wounds turned into words.
Let them laugh.
I’ll heal anyway.

Some random days...
when everything feels heavy.
when lyrics hit deeper than usual.
when every Instagram reel or YouTube short feels too relatable.
when you feel like you're not enough.
when you start sympathizing with yourself.
when you want to scream but stay silent.
when you want to cry your lungs out, but don’t know why.
Some days are just... painful and complicated.
And that’s okay.
"Some days weigh more than others. And if all you did today was survive, I'm proud of you. "

Own Your Journey
Arna Jun 11
Don’t give others the chance to:
– Remind you of your goal.
– Question your abilities.
– Doubt your path to your dreams.
– Judge your lifestyle.
– Make your decisions.
Let your confidence be louder than their opinions. Your life, your rules.

The Weight of Absence
Arna Jun 10
Only absence makes clear of the value of their presence.
When Absence Speaks Louder Than Words
Arna May 20
Even after tasting all cuisines from different time squares,
Eating home food by your mom’s hand is what gives you satisfaction.
Not getting full marks,
But getting extra marks than expected is what gives you satisfaction.
Showering love and caring siblings is cute,
But teasing them and irritating them is what gives you satisfaction.
Dad buying the things we wanted is okay,
But buying them with our own hard-earned money is what gives you satisfaction.
Seeing happiness on your dad’s face is nice,
But you being the reason behind his pride and happiness is what immense satisfaction is.
It’s not always the grand things; sometimes, it’s the simple moments that leave the deepest mark.

A Home Beyond Words
Arna May 21
A place where silence is understood,
Joy is shared,
Love is endless,
And you're never a burden—
Only someone to be cherished.
That’s the family we all dream of.
Not everyone gets it,
but everyone dreams of it—
a family that understands your silence,
spreads joy without reason,
loves you beyond measure,
and never lets you feel like a burden.
An ideal family is not just a blessing…
it's a rare kind of magic.

Getting a loving family,
Who understand your troubles without telling…
Who make efforts to spread happiness…
Who loves you more than you do…
Who feels you as their responsibility but not a burden…

An ideal family : Dream of every human being!!
A family that feels like home—where love needs no words and you're never a burden.
Arna Jun 9
There will be always TIME for materialistic pleasures but TIME will be running short for uncertain things.
Especially the people you love.
As life is unpredictable, realize their preciousness and give them some time.
We chase things that can wait and ignore hearts that may not stay. Make time — before it slips away.
Arna Jun 12
"Some things can only be carried as a responsibility throughout the life and can never be out of love."
Some responsibilities aren’t chosen out of love —
they're inherited, expected, and silently endured.

Labels Don't Define Me
Arna May 30
They call me shy...I call it my way.
They call me calm...I call it my composure.
They call me silent....I call it my serenity.
They call me impractical...I call it a way to escape the harsh reality.
They call me illogical...I say it's my way to handle my issues.
They call me imperfect...I call it being human.
They say I am minimal...I say I am simple.
They call me rude...I take it as my self-respect.
They say I am stubborn...but I say it's my path to pursue my dream.
They say I look unfit...I confidently say I love flaunting.
People call many,
But I don't take any.
As I am not responsible to the assumptions they make up without knowing me.
They label.
I redefine.
They assume.
I stay true.
Because their voices don’t echo louder than mine.

Where Peace Hides
Arna Jun 19
Where do you find PEACE?

In Dad’s comforting words?
In Mom’s handmade food?
In your sibling’s company?
In your grandmother’s lap?
In your friend’s protective nature?
In family’s quality time?
In the nature?
In Music?
In someone’s heart touching poetry?
In happy memories?
In late night talks?
In achieving your dreams?
In your partner’s arms?

In short, PEACE can be found everywhere if searched.
"Peace isn’t always found in silence — sometimes it’s in voices, in hugs, in memories, in poetry.
It’s all around, just waiting to be noticed."
Arna Jun 14
"Small things bring huge SATISFACTION."
It's not always grand success or big achievements that bring peace.
Sometimes, it's a warm hug, a kind word, a quiet evening, or a cup of chai.
Small things, big satisfaction.
Don’t overlook the magic in the moments.

The Unshakables
Arna Jun 10
They test your patience.
They hold your memories.
They fuel your strength.

Unbearable. Unforgettable. Unstoppable.

Don’t rely on others to make you happy.
People change. Circumstances shift. Expectations hurt.

Instead, learn to find your own little ways to enjoy life —
a walk under the sky,
a song that speaks your soul,
a dream you quietly chase,
a moment of peace you gift yourself.

Because real happiness?
It blooms within — not from someone else,
but from you.
Be your own reason to smile.

Working Moms? Na! They are Goddesses, Home-makers, Teachers, Motivators, Singers, Caretakers, Understanding Partners, and above all — the Best Moms.
True All-Rounders.
But even all-rounders have hearts that crave...
A caring partner who shares the load.0
Supportive in-laws who respect their dreams.
Loving children who see their efforts and admire their strengths.
Understanding parents who still check in.
A friend to confide in without judgement.
A solo vacation to breathe and just be.
A break from never-ending chores.
Little treats and words of appreciation.
They deserve it all.
Not just on Mother’s Day, but every single day.
Because being a mom isn’t a role—it’s a full-time miracle in motion.

The Silent Giver
Arna Jun 9
She was a simple girl.
A kind, happy going, compassionate and a talented one.
Over thinking was her hobby.
Taking pain was common for her.
She valued people more than self…
And received pain more than she deserved!!
She smiled through the ache, loved without limits, and lost more than anyone ever saw. Some hearts break quietly… yet beautifully.

The Unspoken Pages
Arna Jun 9
Stopped writing in diaries...
Fearing someone might read them.
Gave up typing on Word documents...
Afraid her privacy might be shattered.

She let people walk away —
Without sharing a word,
Not because she didn't want to,
But because she was done with sympathy...
Something she had seen too much of in life.

And so, she grew silent.
Tired.
She let it be...

Until her heart whispered:
"You're safe with me."
Privacy restored.
But the heart grew heavier than ever.
Some stories are written nowhere. Just carried quietly in hearts too full to write, and too brave to burst.
Arna Jun 10
You’ve got one life.
Don’t treat it like a stage for laughs,

Don’t make your life a joke.
Don’t make your life a JOKE

Everyone says:
“Pichi rathalu”, “Time waste”, “Just focus on your studies.”
But I say:
Writings born from pain are never random.
They carry pieces of my silence,
echoes of my battles,
and truths too heavy to speak aloud.
"They mock the scribbles, not knowing they’re survival.
Each line is a wound stitched with words."

Beyond the Glass
Arna 7d
Every time I gaze at the mirror,
a storm of doubts rises within me —

Am I worthy?
Am I beautiful?
Am I doing enough with my life?
Am I ambitionless?
Am I being too carefree?
Am I gaining weight?
…and so many more.

But amidst the flood of questions,
my heart gently whispers:

You are worthy.

It’s not the external beauty that defines you —
It’s your self-love,
your kindness to yourself.

Mirrors only reflect what’s visible.
But what really shapes us
is the change we choose
beyond the glass.
The mirror shows a surface; your soul reflects the truth.
Arna May 20
Sometimes, we can’t do anything but to just
sit and miss them.
Sometimes, it’s better to
just hide all your emotions in your tiny heart.
Sometimes, opting for silence
is the best option in all situations.
Sometimes, a comforting embrace
is enough to heal you when sympathetic words doesn’t.
Sometimes, all you crave for is a hand on your shoulder
or a shoulder to lie
or a person to hear you and comfort you
when you feel low
than having the whole family to console you.
Not every pain needs words.
Not every tear needs an audience.
Sometimes, silence understands more than sympathy.
Sometimes, all the heart asks for is a quiet presence —
a touch, a glance, a gentle reminder that we’re not alone.
And in those tender moments, healing begins.
"Sometimes, silence is the loudest cry for comfort."

But the way they made us feel, that stays a little longer."

"It’s better to work hard to achieve your goals and make your family a happy one than to run behind the people who doesn’t remain or care for you."
In the end, your efforts mean more than empty attachments. Build a life that brings pride to those who truly matter.

The Quiet Ones
Arna Jun 12
Hiding their talents, afraid someone might steal their light.
Valuing others' happiness, often at the cost of their own.
Caring for everyone — even those who curse them out of envy.
Neglecting their own health while nurturing others.
Spreading smiles, while burying their own pain deep inside.

These aren’t flaws...
They’re the quiet traits of strong, introverted girls —
Silent warriors with golden hearts.
"You may never hear her story out loud — but her actions speak volumes."

Imperfectly Perfect
Arna Jun 22
"They call me strange.
Maybe it's because —

I'm a girl who stays home,
While others my age are out with friends,
Skipping college, traveling, clubbing,
Doing all the Gen Z things.

Because I stay quiet,
Even in moments that demand boldness,
Choosing calm over chaos.

Because I prefer simplicity over fashion trends,
Minimalism over extravagance.

Because I love classics,
And music that speaks to the soul —
Not just the charts.

Because books are my escape,
While social media is just noise.

Because I find peace in solitude,
Instead of blending into crowds.

Because I’m single,
In a generation chasing love,
And running from its complications.

Let them call me strange.
I call it being
Imperfectly perfect
In my own small,
Quiet,
Cute little world."
They say I’m strange — because I choose calm over chaos, books over buzz, and solitude over noise.
But in this little world I’ve built, I’ve found my peace.
And maybe, just maybe… strange is beautiful.

They call it pichi rathalu.
They laugh. Say I’m wasting time.
Say I should just focus on studies, like everyone else.

But they don’t know.
They don’t know these pages hold my pain—
not drama, not attention-seeking.
Real pain. The kind that keeps you up at 2 AM.
The kind that chokes you when you're trying to smile.

I write because if I don’t, I’ll explode.
I write because it’s the only thing that listens without judgment.
Because no one asked me,
“What happened?”
They just said,
“Be strong.”
“Move on.”
“Stop being so emotional.”

So I bleed on paper.
That’s not madness. That’s survival.

Let them call it anything.
This—
this is the only thing keeping me alive.
You call it madness. I call it surviving without anyone knowing.

Trust Is a Silent Bond
Arna May 20
If a person is sharing his/her personal secrets with you,
they do it with trust and not hope of gaining sympathy or support.
You really don’t need to feel their problems.
Just be with them and assure them that no matter what the future holds, you’ll be always there by their side in all times.
"When someone opens up their soul to you, they’re not seeking your sympathy — they’re offering their trust. You don’t need to fix their pain or carry their burdens. Just be there, fully and truly. Sometimes, presence speaks louder than any words ever could."
Arna Jun 14
