LONELINESS / NO. 16 / 6th MARCH 2024

 Solitude Vs Loneliness

    Dear readers, the other day I requested suggestions on what people would like to read in my next blogs in an Instagram story that I uploaded. I'll be writing about the subjects that each person suggested for the next few days.

    One of my best friends asked me to comment on something like "Loneliness is sometimes heart full of happiness." 


    Alright, just hold on, let me explain first. I think he intended solitude rather than loneliness. (Correcting my closest friends when they misspeak or mispronounce makes me happy like nothing else, lol). They occasionally become agitated when I constantly correct their grammar and pronunciation. I can't resist correcting them every time; at the end of the day it's the English Literature mind. Back to business.


    One can never be happy when they are lonely. The distinction between loneliness and solitude is significant. Being alone or isolated from others is what the former refers to. It hurts a lot of the time. Because of the way we are made, we can only survive in environments that are social. For this reason, after creating Adam, God decided that he would not be well off living by himself and gave Adam the ideal partner, Eve. That is how we are wired—biologically, emotionally, and mentally.


    A healthy way to take some time for oneself and engage in self-care or introspection is to engage in solitude. Although solitude is something that people choose to experience, loneliness may at times be forced upon them. Pursuing solitude is beneficial while it is harmful to ignore loneliness.



   Spending time alone with oneself improves one's perception of the world and oneself as a person. According to psychologists, it helps people develop their personalities and characters by nourishing and nurturing them. However, loneliness depletes a person's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual resources by making them depressed. Even for a single day, loneliness can be rather challenging for an individual.


"Loneliness is a condition while Solitude is a choice!"


Thank you Sammy (Samson Jesinth) for this amazing topic.

  Monkey Bars          Hey readers, its been a while and I hope you all are doing good.  It's wonderful to be back and to pen down the ideas that I usually keep to myself.  A few days ago, while I was randomly exploring the internet, I stumbled upon this incredible quote by C.S. Lewis that reads,           “ Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.”     Although the quote is straightforward and easy to understand, what an analogy it is! We often claim that life is not a bed of roses, but how much do we truly understand the effects these difficult situations have on us? Most of the time, we don't.  When we experience anything unpleasant, we often find it difficult to let go of it. We keep going back to the same experiences to keep them fresh in our memories, whether they are related to relationships, health issues, failures, or setbacks.      We don't always know that the act of repeatedl

 THE MISUNDERSTOOD CONCEPT OF FEMINISM The concept of feminism is misunderstood most of the times. Its a simple ideology and its just that we often fail to understand it perfectly. We always complicate simple things in life. So let's see what feminism actually is.  FEMINISM:                        It is nothing but EQUALITY. Every individual in the society must be considered equal which often is not. Feminism strives to empower women and in doing so it also makes them realize their rights. It is mostly misunderstood that women are trying to overpower men. The point is not that. Be it a male or a female, both the genders are no less than the other.                         The other day I was scrolling through my social media and something caught my eye. That is when I decided to write this blog. I understood that there were different opinions on this concept. It is alright to have different views unless the whole meaning of the concept doesn't change.    A FEW SUBJECTS WHERE MEN

Bestfriend...      Dear readers,  the other day I requested suggestions on what people would like to read in my next blogs in an Instagram story that I uploaded. I'll be writing about the subjects that each person suggested for the next few days. My bestfriend Jelshiya asked me to talk about my bestfriend (basically about her).       We've known each other for five years and have been best friends for three years. In our first year as undergrads, we got to know one another. Our interests were very similar, and there was an instant connection. Being my best friend means that you must be able to relate to me in all of my phases, even when I don't say anything. To me, she is that person. She doesn't really need any explanation from me. She'll know everything about me just looking at my face.      Being friends demands more than just being there when things are going great. Providing support is essential when everything seems to be falling apart. She was the one who wip
