 Little Things


Daydreaming turns my head into a realm of fantasies. I spend hours fantasizing my ideal life, instead of living the one I am presently just existing in.

Like most people, my ideal life looks like a mostly unrealistic, perfect life filled with prosperity, wealth, love etc. If only the scenarios in my head would actually come to life. If only.....

But life is not a rom-com, not until you start romanticizing the mundane things, the little things.

We idealize a fake life too much to be able to romanticize and appreciate the one we are blessed with. When it's truly the little things in life which makes it so beautiful.

I have always found the moments in my life that brought me the most joy are the small ones, whether it be looking at the moon while listening to your favorite playlist, a perfect bite of food, a time spent with your friends where you think to yourself “I am going to miss this moment”, going through an old photo album and having your grandma tell you stories from your childhood, a walk under the stars on an empty street, a peaceful sunset where silence feels like music to the ears, or a random yet meaningful conversation sparked at 3 a.m.

These things are what makes life simply beautiful. We believe that we will be the happiest at reaching a certain point in our life where all our dreams come true, but happiness is not a destination, its the journey and we call it life. Yes, It is a bumpy road but without the lows would we ever learn to appreciate the highs?

I like life more when I remember to enjoy the little things in everyday. Romanticizing your daily routine fills you up with so much gratitude and makes you feel like a main character in your own little realistic movie.

Waking up to the sun softly entering your room through the gap of your curtains, the smell of your morning hot coffee, your exclusive concert in the shower, your neighbor bringing you a new recipe they tried to taste, a kind stranger who smiled at you, having a good hair day, your favorite band playing on the radio, petting a dog you met on your way back home, going home to the smell of a delicious meal being cooked by your mother, ending the day with your family watching a cringe reality show which all of you low-key enjoy.

There's at least one little thing in your day worth being grateful for. These little things might not always be a core memory in your mind, but it once made you feel a positive emotion, it made you smile or even laugh and boosted up you serotonin levels and that is special in its own ways.

Once you learn to be grateful for these little things, you will fall in love with life a little more and hate it a little less.

I hope reading this was your little thing today<3

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
