The most misunderstood, misfelt, and underrated feeling.
Water flowing from eyes can never be fake.
It could be from happiness,
Can be with grief,
Can be out of jealous,
And can be through overwhelm.

The reason may be anything,
But they can never be fake.
They hold valuable expressions
Which words in dictionary too fail.

They carry the pain,
Unexpressed emotions,
And more.

Tears are misunderstood
For being weak, sensitive, and over-emotional.
But they are not in true sense.
One can never judge the value of tears.

They make heavy hearts lighter.
Hidden suffers heal.
They make expressions visible.
Make the situation intact.

Never look low of tears,
And the one who lets them flow freely,
Than to submerged them fearing judgements.
Tears aren’t a sign of weakness — they are the purest form of unspoken emotion. Let them fall. Let healing begin.
Arna Jun 24
"We can’t blame our fate nor the destiny everytime. Just accept everything and move forward with a smile."
Acceptance isn’t weakness —
It’s the strength to walk ahead without carrying the weight of “why me?”

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."
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.
Arna Jul 16
Distractions
They turn a man into a lazy soul,
a responsible citizen into a careless one,
a meritorious student into the disobedient,
and a kind heart into something selfish.
They **** righteousness,
while building a false sense of self-esteem.
They drown us in the unnecessary—
a flood of moments we never asked for.
Distractions feel comforting when we’re caught in them,
but they leave us with regret the moment we step away.
Keeping them at a distance
is the first step toward change—
toward becoming who we were always meant to be.
They come quietly,
feel comforting for a while,
but leave us with nothing but regret.
The first step toward becoming better
is knowing what to walk away from.

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.

Irreversible Scars
Arna Jul 17
A broken vase can never be fixed even glued.
A torn page can never cover it's despatched appearance.
Rifted paths can never passby again.
Past that happened can never be changed.
Occured loss can never be recovered.
Likewise,hurting others with words or actions can never be healed with a mere sorry.
Some things, once broken, can never return to what they were — including hearts.

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.

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."

Temporary

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.

The End of Good
Arna Jul 16
"Good never lasts forever —
not even the people with the kindest hearts. "
Good never lasts forever —
not even the people with the kindest hearts.
Sometimes, even the warmest souls
walk away when the world grows too cold.
Arna Jun 14
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?

Simple like -
A homely atmosphere,
A loving family,
A supportive friend,
A peaceful life,
A meaningful profession.

Are these huge to expect from life?
Sometimes even the simplest hopes feel like luxuries. Is it wrong to dream of peace, love, and belonging?
Arna Jun 15
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.

Is it too much to ask for just that?
Self-love is strength. But connection is survival. Even the strongest hearts sometimes long for another to lean on.

The Weight of Absence
Arna Jun 10
Only absence makes clear of the value of their presence.
When Absence Speaks Louder Than Words
Arna Jun 26
"Work hard and show the life you always wanted to lead to all the people around you who are confused about what you'll do in life and confusing you in reaching your aim."
Let your success speak louder than their doubts. Work hard, stay focused, and show the world the life you were always meant to lead.

Unspoken Goodbyes
Arna Jul 22
Every night,
I tell you,?
“Go to sleep, good night.”?
But deep inside,
I whisper,
“No… stay a little longer.”?
Expectations always hurt —?
and your reply is always the same:? "Okay, bye. GN."
Just out of care,?
because you know lack of sleep harms my health.?
And I know —?
you always wanted to have a long conversation,?
where there’s nothing to share,?
but just presence is all we craved.
Some goodbyes are painful yet needed.
Arna Jul 7
"Even if it’s not your dream, give it your all — for the ones who saw a dream in you."
Not every dream begins in your heart.
But sometimes, the faith others place in you is reason enough to chase it —
Not for the goal, but for the ones who believe you can.

When Nothing Works
Arna Jul 13
"In certain hard moments, not even your
comfort food,
favorite perfume,
healing music,
that one comforting conversation,
a peaceful walk in nature,
or a joyful outing can bring you back to normal."
"Because sometimes, it’s not about fixing the moment — it’s about surviving it."

The Last Goodbye
Arna Jul 24
It happened before I even started school —
a goodbye I never wanted,
never understood, but have carried ever since.
It was with the most important person in my life.
She was strong —
strong enough to fight death with all her might,
just to hold off that painful goodbye.
But in the end,
God won,
and He took her far away from me.
So far…
that we never met again.
So far…
that all I have now are stories, photographs,
and pieces of her living gently in our memories.
Her absence became my first grief,
her love —
my first lesson in strength.
Some goodbyes are painful as hell.

Choose goals over chaos
Arna Jul 22
"A priority list with GOALS than people is far better."
Sometimes, peace begins when you stop prioritizing people who don’t value your path.
A priority list with GOALS rather than people isn’t selfish — it’s survival, growth, and purpose.
🌱 Focus on what builds you, not what breaks you.

Summer in India
Arna Jul 13
Summer in India isn't just a season—
It's a feeling, a memory, a melody of warmth.
It's the season of:
Mangoes and juicy watermelons,
Beaches kissed by golden sunlight,
Pickles drying under the harsh sun,
Ice creams and colorful icegolas,
Breezy cotton and floral prints,
School holidays and family vacations,
Power cuts and candlelit evenings,
Sleeping under starry skies on the terrace,
Holiday homework and handwritten pages, Internships, summer camps, and endless stories.
A season where time slows down and hearts warm up.
Summer in India isn’t just weather — it’s nostalgia melting in mangoes, laughter echoing under the stars, and memories wrapped in the scent of sun-dried pickles and freedom.

What does your summer feel like?
Arna Jul 2
Sometimes, I truly feel time slips away too fast —
in the quiet joy of little things like:
Watching passing clouds and tiny stars.
Talking endlessly with my best friend.
Playing with little babies, their laughter echoing.
Sharing quality time with family.
Getting lost in music.
Reading a story that feels like it understands me.
Night-outs filled with laughter and memories with cousins.
Gazing at a silent line of ants on their journey.
Listening to Grandma’s timeless tales.
Some moments…
just deserve to last a little longer.
Some moments don’t ask for forever—just a little more time.
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."

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.

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."

A Lantern of Hope
Arna Jun 25
Lying down under this beautiful starry night
Fills me with a quiet kind of happiness.
Alone on this silent hilltop,
A glowing lantern beside me,
My favorite book in hand —
It’s the scene I always dreamt of.
For once,
I’ve stepped away —
From responsibilities,
From the noisy world,
From people and their expectations.
Here I am,
Feeling the warmth of the lantern’s light,
Letting it remind me
That a simple, peaceful life is still possible.
This silence.
This natural breeze.
This soft glow.
This time with myself —
It’s all I need right now,
To hope again.
Sometimes, peace isn’t found in places full of people —
It’s found in a quiet hilltop, a glowing lantern, and the warmth of your own company.
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.

I Am Just a Mirror
Arna Jul 12
For many,
I am just an object —
A thing that shows reflection,
That breaks when anger is thrown,
That helps with selfies,
That assists in dressing up well.

But there’s a side no one sees:
I help build their confidence,
I make them feel beautiful,
I help them reverse safely,
Reflecting both their presence and pain.

I listen to their talks,
Their silent stares, their tears.
I’m there through their highs and lows,
Feeling their every emotion
Without ever saying a word.

And yet,
I’m just an object
Lying in a corner.
Forgotten.
Until needed again.
An unseen witness, a silent healer — the mirror holds more than just our reflection. It holds our emotions, our secrets, our growth... and quietly stays, even when we forget it.

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 18
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."

Ours, Forever

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.
Arna Jul 2
There are moments when time slows to a crawl —
and every tick feels heavier than the last.
While studying for an exam that refuses to end.
When you miss someone so badly it hurts just to breathe.
When your friend suddenly goes offline and silence takes their place.
When you wait endlessly for someone who hasn’t arrived yet.
When your favorite show or match hasn’t started, but your excitement already has.
When the classroom feels like a prison, and the end bell feels miles away.
Some seconds stretch like lifetimes —
teaching us how heavy longing, boredom, and anticipation can really be.
Some seconds don’t pass — they linger, stretch, and teach us the weight of waiting.
Arna Jun 17

It’s not a hobby. It’s not a distraction. It’s what kept me going.

Don’t I deserve a caring hand to tap my head and say
“everything will be alright”?
Don’t I deserve a supporting hand to stand by my side in all times?
Don’t I deserve a listener who could understand my words?
Don’t I deserve a quick reply when I am in need?
Don’t I deserve a small appreciation for my efforts?
Don’t I deserve some encouragement in building my dreams?
Don’t I deserve some soothing words when I feel worthless of myself?
Don’t I deserve cute gestures when I feel lonely?
Atleast, don’t I deserve a person whom I can call mine?
"Sometimes it’s not about wanting too much —
just the bare minimum, from the right soul."

“Move on.”
“Stop being so emotional.”

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

this is the only thing keeping me alive.
You call it madness. I call it surviving without anyone knowing.

What is Love?
Arna Jul 10
Love —
It has numerous definitions.
It is not a feeling, nor an emotion.
Not a thing, nor a situation.
Not an event, nor a celebration.
Not illogical, nor illusional.
Not a complication, nor a commitment.
Not attachment, nor attraction.
It's something pure.
Unexpressive. Undefined. Invisible. Intangible.
Love has many perspectives.
For some, it's —
Parents and friends.
For others —
Things and travelling.
Different people, different definitions.
Some say love is God.
Some say food.
Some take relationship.
Some hold on to companionship.
For some, it's being kind.
And for some, it's in happiness.

Love is everywhere.
In gestures, in glances,
In sacrifices unnoticed,
In the quiet presence of those who stay.
Comment down your definition of love.

— The End —
