Dull can be Bright

Sunsets have always been my saviour. Over a period of a few years I have realised my habit of going for a walk was always to see the sun set.

Quarantine had just taken away that from me. I live in a place surrounded by trees and high rises. I can't really see the sun. I miss it.

(I’m no expert here, these are just my thoughts.)

I believe they are a way to what we actually feel, our sub conscious’s way of telling us what we want. Or as I read somewhere, it’s just a warning for whats coming in the next few months. Like sixth sense.

Lately I have been dreaming about people I barely I know, or have met only once. I seem I have a deep connection with them.

I know that I want to know them better and be in there lives. (it’s because I have a curious mind and I want to know everything about them.)  

However, I can’t seem to comprehend how that’s possible. Should I reach out to them? Should I just let it be. 

My mother says if you remember a dream for more than a day, then it is definitely of some significance. 

I wish I could understand how the sub conscious works. Can anyone tell me? It would be of great help.

6 year old me got irritated.

I love meeting new people. 

On flights, on local buses, trains or even when I am waiting for a friend in a mall. I like looking at people and try to think about things like ‘Is she having a good day?’, ‘where is he going?’, ‘what is he thinking about?’ so on.

I find it intriguing that it actually keeps me busy. 

Since I spend so much time thinking about other people this thought crossed my mind. THEY CAN BE WHATEVER THEY WANT TO BE IN THAT PERIOD OF 5 OR 6 MINUTES. 

As real as I am with them its not necessary that they are doing the same. they might be hiding something. Or they could be a horribly bad person or a extremely good person. I MIGHT NEVER KNOW.

I think it’s amazing that one can be whatever we want, whenever they are meeting new people. One can be that nice person who everyone likes, and if one continues with that persona they could eventually become the best version of themselves.

Being a stranger to someone is so comforting. you can be strange and jelly fish and there is no way they would remember you in the next month of their lives. (that is only if you don’t cross them hundred and fifty times a day.)

I love meeting new people, they make me curious. 

AND CURIOSITY IS THE DRIVING FORCE IN ME.

It makes we want to live an adventurous life and experience new things, learn about other cultures, celebrate them and become a perfect stranger in someones life.

As they say ‘you don’t know it if you don’t go through it.’ Same is with people, they will be pretenders until an effort is made to know them. 

DULLESTBRIGHT REQUESTS YOU ALL TO GO OUT AND BECOME THE STRANGER YOU WANT TO BE. EXPLORE. ADMIRE. LEARN. XOXO

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS <3

I want a thoughtful road trip, with long walks on the beach.

Where as they want a boom boom car and splashing in the sea.

I want deep talks while the wave leaves trinkets of sand stuck between my toes.

They want pictures to remember the times by.

The heart to heart conversations are all I want and need to have a memory stuck in my head forever.

Maybe the pictures are clicked to show the world the amount of fun they had. But the enjoyment within comes when you actually have something and someone to remember the place by, the time by.

DULLESTBRIGHT IN DEEP THOUGHTS.

One should visit at least two places which mean the most to you whenever you are moving to a new city or a country.

Being a Geographer and an individual who shifted to new cities every 2-3 years, I think it's a wonderful thing to do.

Growing up I realised there is only a few actual locations that we remember. Be it because of a person or a beautiful sunset or a small road side stall very popular amongst your friend circle. It could be anything or anywhere.

Watching the movie I realised that I should do that. No because I'm depressed or I want to get over something. It's because those will be the places that I will want to think about the most when I leave. I will want to remember moments and people from there.

So here's to visiting those places which mean the most. Those places which bring out all the colours in you, at full brightness. Here's to memories.

DULLESTBRIGHT LOOKING OUT FOR ALL THE COLOURS. XOXOX

I spent my first ever night in a forest. THE WHOLE FREAKING NIGHT.

Got up super early (code saying “didn’t sleep at all”) to see the sun rise. Super excited to see the first sunrise of 2020 or rather the first sun rise I ever got up to see. But guess what? There was literally no sun. Just mist. Wind. Mist.

I think it was absolutely worth it though. Imagine you can see the mist moving. And shivering in cold. My instinct was to climb the edge of the rock and introspect.

That’s what I did.

My friends were against it. But I was like chuck it …I’ll still do it. I sat there for meager fifteen minutes. There were only two people that too not so close to me.

The photo is an absolute candid. I had no idea they were clicking my pictures.

Few learnings:

This trip taught me that its okay to go out of the ay and meet your old friend and even be open to make new ones simultaneously.

Even though language was a barrier, you can overcome it because there is always at least one person who will understand you. One has to hunt for that person. <3

Sometimes its okay to get out the comfort zone and explore places at odd hours when you might not even think of leaving your house. Its at midnight in the middle of the forest.

Stay in contact with people who will go out of there way to show you wonderful and unexplored areas of the earth.

You might experience the unexpected. Go with an open mind.

Millions of places. Billions of people. Trillions of adventures.

There is so much life has to offer, but somehow here am I. Only handful of places, a few hundred people and like two adventures.

There is so much life has to offer but we are all looking for a way to grab it.

There are so many places I want to go to, so many amazing people I want to meet. I don't know where to start? How to start? Will someone do it with me? Or will i meet someone in the process. There are so many questions unanswered. I'm so lost. I wish there was someone to guide me through it or atleast sponsor me? 🙄🤔 (can't leave a chance, just in case.)

I would really love to see a lot and let the experience sink in. I'd tell share every bit of it.

NO ONE SAYS GOODBYE UNLESS..

So, I read a reaaaaallllyyyyy good book after so long. Everyone has heard about it in this new world.

John Green. Turtles All The Way Down. Heard of it? Yes? I thought so.

Anyway, there are so many things about this book that have my heart. The way it talks about life. It threw me into a ‘spiral’ (read it, you will get what I am trying to say here).

*it is about a book I can’t just leave it like that, I’ll will have to do or at least put somethings that make you WANT to read it.*

I actually don’t know what genre I should put in in, because it’s love, teenage and a mild mystery at the same time.

The book is about a teenage girl named Aza, who has a mental illness and is consumed by her own thoughts. She can’t control them and thinks that she cannot control her actions. According to her every person is actually driven by circumstances. To her, her thoughts are ’turning and turning into a tightening gyre.’

Then comes her friend from her childhood who is not mentally ill but understands all the thoughts Aza has, as he too has lost so much in life. He is a son of a fraud father and is a big brother who has to take care of a troubled kid.

His name is Davis BTW. *I generally don’t remember the names. I remember faces and that is all I remember. They way Mr Green describes his eyes. The brown eyes. They mean a lot to me ‘cause they ‘make me feel like there was something worthwhile in the brown of my eyes too’*

His approach to life had me. I love how he loves his life even though it has a crazy ‘rhyme scheme’. He writes short poems and blog almost every day. One of my favs is

“The leaves are gone

You should me gone, too

I’d be done if I were you

Walking alone

In the frigid dawn.”

See what Mr Green did there? How he described the insecurity in such a beautiful way. (I genuinely hope that, that is what he was trying to do there because I am no good at literature and I so don’t wanna make a fool out of myself.)

Anyway, I don’t know what I am actually going with this. I just love how there are s many things in life which a just beautifully described. Maybe it’s the teenage heart in me speaking but I really love the book and I don’t know how to say it. I can actually not write. You will see how bad I am at it. And I am worst at actually writing down how I feel.

Coming to the book again. The two meet again and start to understand each other. Somehow, Aza overcomes her spiral thoughts when she is with him. Both of them are glad that she found someone who saw the same sky as each other. Even though in the end ‘circumstances’ make them part they are happy as ‘what is yours now isn’t yours forever.’

Aza knows that she will remember her first love as it is pure and will remind her that she is worth all the care and capable to receive and give love.

That’s all for the weirdest book review ever.

Bye.

“No One Says Goodbye Unless They Want To See You Again.”

(Ha. Ha. I know I was clever with the ending. No bragging. I promise.)

Because we break hearts, not promises.

*I have written every quote I like in this*

I hope the author of the book doesn't kill me after reading this . Please don't.

Every one has someone they look up to. I always looked up to my parents. They just had everything planned and everything on track.

.

But growing older I just see that even they get all confused and off track. They just act out so many things. With all the smiles and fulfilling all that we wish for.

.

Listen to Sasha Sloan's songs. That are all very down to earth. You'll relate to each one of them. She's very expressive and just pulls off every song she sings.

.

I may make a few posts about her music. My new love.

(MARTIN GARRIX IS STILL MY FAVOURITE. I am allowed to listen to others too.😅).

Song- older.

That's all for now.
