The Human of Emotions

Hi!

Haven’t been on here in so long.

So first offs, Happy New Year! 

And here goes my attempt at writing xD

The Human of Emotions. 

It’s been a while said Sadness to Hope, as they looked down upon their human being.

“She obviously hasn’t been doing well and that’s the only reason you’re here. But once I grow stronger, you’ll disappear,” replied Hope in a snide manner.

“You don’t get it, it’s been a while since I’ve had the company of bright and cheerful things. It’s been quite mundane up here with only Depression and Insecurity, no matter how great of friends we are,” Sadness tried to explain. “It’s no fun being the overpowering emotion and gets so lonely at times,” he finished.

“I’m different. I couldn’t care if there were any other emotions because I’m strong enough to be alone. Those nightmares of isolation don’t haunt me. So go on, disappear! And then see if it matters to me.”

“Those humans down there, they’ve got it so wrong. They think you’re a beautiful specimen; they look up to you but they don’t realise that you, Hope, are a bitch. You give them something to believe in and then just as quickly it’s taken away from them. You lift them up, just so that you can tear them down. It’s quite amusing to watch if it didn’t involve me. Every single time that they lose hope, they turn to me, Sadness. And while I’m all for being the most important emotion in a person’s life, I’m only important because YOU let them down. YOU think you can exist alone without any other emotion for company, you haven’t been isolated yet,” ranted Sadness

Hope laughed, a beautiful, musical one yet it sounded so cruel to Sadness. She stared at him with her warm eyes but all Sadness could see was the coldness behind the façade of warmth. She then spoke in her musical voice, “It’s not every day that I see you caring about the emotions of humans, it’s actually a sight to see. You think I’m a bitch? Have you ever looked at yourself though? I at least give those humans something to live for, all you do is make them contemplate Death. “

“Well at least I’m realistic,” replied Death in a calm manner.

Before Hope could speak again, both of their bodies flickered and then they disappeared off the face of the world. Just like their human.

 

That’s about it 🙂

The Perfect Storm

Hey guys,

So I’m officially on vacation (finally after a couple of months of sleep deprivation and anxiety). Anyway, here’s a poem I wrote a few days ago. Let me know what you think of it 🙂

The Perfect Storm

Won’t be gone for long,

Won’t let you down,

I’ll be there for you,

She thought back to all the lies she’d been told.

Don’t depend on others,

Don’t think of those people,

They aren’t going to come back,

Her mind gave her the sage advice.

Create the perfect storm,

Draw them back in,

Make them want you no matter what it takes,

She listened intently to what her heart had to say.

As the two raged a battle,

She curled up in a ball,

Took too many pills

And instead flew away to another world.

So that’s about it 🙂

Song of the Day: *slightly obsessed with this song.. not going to lie. 

That’s about it for now,

A Happy That The First Semester Is Over Teenager/Adult 

Rate this:

Hey guys!

So, since I have my end sem exams going on, I decided to procrastinate and this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think of it

A Better Place.

Drained out, eyes shut

Imagined himself in a better place

Tiny holes in his hand

From where the needles pricked his skin

Dark rooms, strangers everywhere

Wanted isolation, took a trip to another world

Cried out, hated and was confused by that place

Blue and red lights stormed into the scene

Woke up on a plain white bed

Took some time, healed himself

Thought of the world as a beautiful place

Then thunder struck, life came his way

And he dealt with it in the way he knew best

 And he pricked his skin with needles once again.

And that’s about it 🙂 

Song of the day: 

Since I need to go back to study (unfortunately), 

Till next time 🙂

And I’m going to start blogging pretty regularly because I’ll have a huge break for about two months, so there’s that!

Okay, that’s about it.

See ya,

How’s University Going?

Hey there!

I haven’t been on here forever and it’s completely my fault. I haven’t had the time to do much of anything really.. 

Law school makes sure there’s some assignment or project or test which counts for a massive percentage of our grade almost every other day.. 

Writing has sort of become a pain, almost a chore and while I might not like that, there’s also not much I can do about that. Not to mention, I’ve had the most severe writers’ block I’ve ever had. 

But I think I’m finally over that phase in life. I’ve been working on this assignment of mine, an academic essay and it deals with myths and literature and I’m super excited to be doing that. 

I get asked “how’s university going” a lot by people back home who are going to colleges in the same time. And I can’t tell them how it’s really going because I can’t put it into words. It’s honestly like a roller coaster. The moment you think you’re doing okay, you realise you’re really not. Sure, it’s a ton of fun at times and then on the other hand, it can get pretty depressing. Also, you see the same people and hang out with them almost all day long and you get really close to them. But that at the same time is unfortunate because you get on each other’s nerves and that leads to massive fall outs (not that it’s happened to me, yet). University is sort of like a paradox. It’s fun but at the same time you miss the people back home (and the FOOD). I’ve made a bunch of friends here and honestly, college has been fun so far (sort of?) I mean I have an existential crisis almost every other day (sometimes I have several in one day) but that passes by quite fast. 

Anyway, our first semester is almost coming to an end, which is sort of insane because time really flies. It’s like I’ve been living in this bubble and now that I’m going back home for a short visit,  the real world is going to hit me!  

I decided to randomly post on here because that’s what I do when I just need to write to take some of the stress off. I had a ton of plans for this blog and I still do, it’s just going to take way longer than I first anticipated. I’m not saying law school gets easier but now I’m sort of used to the entire college schedule and I can work around that. 

OH and if you’ve been on my blog before and you know who P is, it’s her 18th birthday today!! If you don’t know who she is, she’s one of my closest friends 🙂

Also, random update: I finished watching Stranger Things 🙂 It’s quite a nice T.V. show

Okay so lastly, I’m going to start posting again, this I’m sure of.

A Teenagers Writing: During Breaks

Hey guys,

I stopped writing these because well, I just wasn’t up to it for a while. Anyway, I hope you guys like it 🙂 And let me know what you thought of it. Also, this is a filler one so it’s incredibly short. 

During Breaks

I heard the crunching sound of the gravel and looked up from my sandwich to see him as he came to a halt next to “our” bench. It hadn’t been our bench since the last time we’d spoken. He had taken a few days off, for one of those trips I suppose. He just stood there, not uttering a word. Sick of the silence, I said “Hi” but it came out more like a question. He smiled a little and replied with a soft “hey”. I guess he was finally sick of standing because he sat down next to me. The silence ensued once more and just to break it, I asked him what he’d been up to since we had last spoken.

“I went on a road trip. I needed some time to rediscover myself. Feeling broken and thinking there’s nothing you can do about it is one of the worst feelings someone could possibly have. I went to these tiny restaurants and jammed with street musicians just to feel alive again. And you know what? I started feeling more like myself each time I played. It’s taken me while to realise that the person I had become was not the person I had always wanted to be.The things I learnt from these incredible artists who live music each day of their lives really wakes you up, their energy is contagious. There’s so much that they teach you while you play with them, not just about music, but about life. I met people from various backgrounds and it was incredible to see that music brought them together. I’d become almost aimless and doing this made me feel like I’m heading in some direction again. And it’s okay to not be heading in the same direction that you were heading towards when you started out because everything changes you. And I think I’m finally okay with myself. Anyway, how’s life been on your end? Still being the model citizen of the world?”

I started to reply but was cut off by the sound of our supervisor telling us that our short break was over. “There’s always the next break”, I said. 

 

So that’s about it!

A Teenagers Writing: The Girl’s Light

So this is one of the poems I wrote really recently. Let me know if you liked it and if you have any constructive criticism, let me know 🙂

The Girl’s Light ©2016

The room was engulfed in darkness,

Filled with voices that had no bodies.

Then a sliver of light brightened the room

And there she stood, commanding attention

She walked and the light followed her every move

The voices had fallen silent and seemed to cower

Their fear of the light made her stronger

And it made the room brighter than ever before

Until one of the voices began to incite the others

And one by one, the whispers began once again

And they grew louder, turning into shrieks

The girl and her light began to move away

And just as suddenly as it was lit, it went out. 

 

Today’s Song: MAX is brilliant. 

So yeah,

That’s about it for today’s post. I haven’t really been posting lately because the first two weeks of university have been really hectic xD 

P.S. They’re putting up this Harry Potter Carnival which I’m stoked about 🙂 

Anyway, I know I’ve been writing this in the recent posts (which really aren’t all that recent) but I’ll start posting regularly 

Till the next time,

A Sort of Busy Teenager. 

Also, I’m going to refer to myself as a “teenager” because well, I don’t feel like “adulting”. Not on this blog at least. 

 

A Teenagers Take on Turning 18 and all that.

Hey there!

I’ve become terrible at blogging on time and the only excuse I have is that I’m leaving for college soon and, yeah, that’s about it XD

Anyway, last month I turned 18 (it’s the 1st of July here) and it was a pretty eventful day. I actually gave an entrance exam on my birthday which means I had to wake up at six in the morning and go write a paper for no real reason (I’ve already gotten into the college of my choice). But my friends surprised me by coming to my place at 12 in the night (or in the morning, I’ve never figured that out) and then a bunch of them threw me a surprise party later in the day, which was pretty amazing of them!

So yeah, I’m finally 18! To be honest, it’s not much different than being 17 or 16. I mean the only differences are that I can vote (but I’m not going to have to do that for another couple of years) and that I can drive (still haven’t learnt how to, so that’s not happening anytime soon either). I don’t know how 19 feels like yet, but when I get there, I’ll let you know how that goes XD 

Oh and I officially moved to college last Saturday and I’ve been living in the dorms for about a week now. Classes start from Monday, so I’m looking forward to that (there’s only so much you can take of the campus XD) So I’m going to stick to my Monday weekly posts from next week  and I’ll try being punctual. (I said this the last time around as well).

So I guess that’s it for now.

A Teenagers Take on Life #2

Hey guys,

So the last time I posted (which was almost a month ago), I was in a bad state of mind. And it didn’t get better for a couple of weeks after that so I decided not to post. I never wanted this blog to showcase any negativity and I just decided that I’d post when I was okay with what I wrote. Also, I’ve been giving lots of entrance exams for colleges and that’s been hectic. 

It’s really scary with college admissions because you have no clue about where you’re going to go and it’s super stressful. Over here, our admissions start only after our 12th grade results come out, which means they’re going to begin in pretty soon. We also have entrance exams for a couple of programs. So I’ve been giving the entrance exams for law. 

And then we had the first entrance exam results come out even before I’d given the last exam. The good news is that after all that time studying and not really having a life, I’ve gotten into the college I wanted to go to 🙂

It’s been a crazy ride with multiple breakdowns and I’m just really glad that it’s all over. And it’s good to know that it wasn’t all in vain. I’m going to try and be super regular about my posts from now on because I have about two months before I leave for college and I really have no excuse for not posting 😀

Anyway, let me what’s happening with you and what I’ve missed on here as well because I tried going through all the posts I’ve missed and there’s a ton XD

A Teenagers Writing: Darkness

Hey guys!

 

This is just one of the poems I’d written a short while ago and I’d love any feedback on it 🙂 It’s sort of the second part of my poem Silhouettes, which if you haven’t read, you can read right here. 

 

 

Darkness ©2016

 

She watched as the smoke engulfed Them,

She was free at last yet felt so alone.

For They had been there right beside her,

Through all the pain They had caused her.

It was truly ironic that she missed Them

Those who had broken her wings and chained her.

Those who had shattered her will into tiny fragments.

She used to be part of something,

No matter how much she detested it.

She walked the streets now alone,

With no power to prove her worth.

They had slowly become her pillars,

They, whom she had once detested. 

She looked around to see the pure creatures,

And realised that she could never go back in time,

She could never become who she was before.

She had become a part of Them,

And was now inseparable from everything They had stood for.

No one would ever look at her as an innocent,

But as a member of something that they detested.

She had no where to go for They didn’t need her anymore,

And the pure creatures shrunk away from her.

She had truly fallen from grace,

And so she kept walking, into the everlasting darkness.

A Teenagers Top 10: Things You Go Through When You’re A Senior

Hey there!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: I was just wondering if you guys wanted to make like a Facebook group or something where all the bloggers could communicate with each other and let the others know when they’re posting? I think it’d be pretty fun 🙂 Let me know what you think of it by emailing me at shubhamb1806@gmail.com or commenting down here. 

When you’re a senior, life is very different than what it was when you were a freshman. There’s a ton of projects to do, application essays to hand in and you have absolutely no idea where you’re headed until the last couple of months, which is incredibly scary. People  who you thought would be your friends for life change and drift apart and you find new people to hang out with. 

So for this week, I decided to put together a list of feelings you’ll probably go through at some point of time during your senior year. It’s sort of inevitable that you’ll go through these things because there’s honestly not much time. I’m not going to mention only the difficult times but also the fun ones because it isn’t just plain awful, it’s more like a beautiful mess. 

Without rambling on about how difficult it is, I’m just going to get to the point. So here’s the Top 10 Things You’ll Go Through When You’re A Senior. 

1. Submission Dates- These literally become the bane of your existence. It’s like you’ve got some submission or the other every single day. There’s going to be a couple of submissions that you just wing because you’ve literally got no time to do them. No matter how much you plan your work out, it just doesn’t work out in the end. So don’t panic if things take too much time. Just take a deep breath and prioritize. Think about subjects you’re not that strong at and work on those because it’s tougher to finish those submissions if you’ve left them for the last. Also, you become really used to pulling all nighters, I know I did! I also had a ton of break downs at night because I thought there was no way I could get everything done. 
2.  Friends- Friends honestly become one of the most important things in life. Even              more important than they already are. They’re the ones who are going through the exact same things you are. They’re the best people if you want to talk or rant to someone. They’re also a huge help if you’ve got too much on your plate. I always had a couple of my friends to talk to or just make sure I was awake till a particular time at night. They’re also very good at reassuring you and making you feel better. This is going to sound very “high-school musical” but you are all in this together! 🙂
3. College Applications – These are the most painful. Giving your SATs, writing essays out and just waiting for an answer makes you feel all jittery. It’s like you have no control over the answer because you’ve done the very best you could. Over here we also have a ton of admission tests which are a pain because not only do your grades but also your admission test scores matter! Which is slightly ridiculous but then again, that’s life. 
4. Time- Time is something you’re not going to have a lot of. So when you do take a break for like half an hour and you really want to watch a movie which is like an hour and a half, you make a compromise. You manage to watch the entire movie in about thirty minutes because that’s all the time you have. But of course, there’s still a ton of time to watch several YouTube videos at night when you’re really sleepy but cannot afford to sleep just yet. 
5. School Festivities – School Festivities are the best part about senior year because you know it’s going to be your last year at that particular school and you want to make it something you’ll remember your school by. It’s also going to be the last time you’ll be with all the people in your grade and it’s just really fun to take part in all the activities at school. 
6. Tests- “So it’s really funny how I remember lyrics of songs I’ve not heard in five years but I have no recollection of the things I’ve studied for a test just last night,”said I during a few of my tests. Honestly, there’s not much you can do because you’ve already got a ton on your plate and then you’ve had to study for three tests in a day. Life really isn’t fair to a senior sometimes. Also, you’re going to come close to failing or actually fail a couple of tests. And if you don’t, you’re doing something most people don’t know of 😛
7. Sleep – Sleep becomes your most favourite thing in the world. At one point of time, if anyone asked a friend of mine her favourite hobby, she’d reply by saying “sleep”. And that’s what you’re probably going to be reduced to at one point or another.You start thinking that sleep is the solution to all your problems (it is to some). It’s because you run on sleep deprivation and whenever you get a chance to sleep, you run with it. You don’t even care whether or not your favourite pillow’s there. You don’t even care about a blanket. (You totally care about a blanket.)
8. Appearances-  So one of the good parts about senior year is that most people don’t care about what you look like. It’s probably because all of you look the same- tired and like you’ve just woken up (which you have). Also, you tend to perfect your mean face because you need to let people know when they’re being annoying without using words.
9. Motivation… or the lack of it- At one point, the only two answers you have are a)no and b) I don’t know. You simply don’t care anymore and you lack motivation to do anything at all. It’s like you’ve given up. At this point of time, just know that there’s only a few weeks left and after that you’re finished with it (at least for a while).  
10. Graduation/Farewell – This is probably the best part of the year because you know you’ve got through it all in one piece and that you’re going to be okay. It’s sort of a bittersweet moment because you’re leaving behind a place that has (whether you like it or not) become your second home and that the same time you’re moving on to another part of your life which is exciting. 

Honestly, senior year is just one of the many years you’ll go through so make it the most of it and you’ll remember it for a long time. And time really does go by fast, senior year practically went by in the blink of an eye for us. Also, this is the last year you’ll be called a “kid” so have fun because the future is right around the corner. 

And that was it for this post. If you liked it or related to it, let me know by either commenting here or emailing me at shubhamb1806@gmail.com . Also, if you want to talk to someone during your senior year or just rant about life, I’m there for you since I’ve done the same thing last year.
