O restless heart, what ails you so?
What cure exists for this aching woe?
Ghalib
Today, I have nothing vibrant or colorful to share with you. Life has been nothing short of a whirlwind these past few days. Everything feels so overwhelming, leaving me little time or energy for anything else.
Social media? Netflix? I don't have the time, energy, or even the mood for them. Even on Steemit, my presence has been scarce. Yet, this is the only place where I can (if at all) find solace, unwind, and be myself without judgment (or maybe not).
Where do I start from? Ok from the fact that people can be such a**holes sometimes. (Pardon my French!). Why am I such a sensitive soul? And it does hurt when I think about why I can't just let go of this incessant need to not unplease everyone, or worse, why I can’t give people a taste of their own medicine? Why does "What will people think?" is still a part of my life? I think have answers to almost every (rhetorical) question. But I really don't like the answers.
And this, (an)other, fact leads to an other unrhetorical question cum answer...
Why there’s this crushing pressure of society. Why do I even bother with it? Perhaps because we are not solitary beings, no matter how much we wish to be. But here, in the setup where I live, life thrives on gossip. Yes, that’s the word. Gossip fuels their existence, their closed and confined lives where there’s little to do but dissect someone else’s.
It’s suffocating. So yes, here I am, venting my heart out to you, hoping to find some clarity, or at least the comfort of knowing I’m not alone in this struggle.
Do you ever feel this way? Trapped by the expectations of others, these cunning creatures? Those who prey on other people's good intentions.
And why is there always a chain reaction kind of thing? One idiot after another. It’s like these shitty people keep showing up in your life one after the other! In a short span of time. Please tell me it's not only me.
I could have been one of those people — actually, the opposite of them. Opposite to the kind of people who are born with the ability to read the emotions of others. Was it so difficult?
What a nuisance, right? Forget about feeling anything; such wretched people can go to hell. It's easy to say but hard to do because these people are part of your system, environment, and sometimes even your workplace. You have to deal with them no matter what.
But today, I felt a lot of peace, or maybe not. I could have dealt with the b*** more firmly. When someone is unnecessarily stepping into your lane and doing so rudely, it becomes absolutely essential to give them a shut-up call (you know what I mean by shut-up call here). So, yeah, you have to give it to them. Otherwise, they don't know when to stop opening their potty mouth. Sorry again. Just to be clear, I have my limits too. If you keep nagging, you'll get a slap right in the face. Otherwise I am a very docile, peaceful human being.✌️😌
Enough with this venting... I had to! Does it feel good? Erm, I don't know. Maybe when you tell me that I did the right thing... Hihi
Or you can also tell me that it's ok to be rude sometimes.
I just realized I have so many sunset pictures in my gallery. If you’re out of words, or pressed on time, no problem! Just join the vibe and drop a sunset picture too. Solidarity?
میر سے معذرت کے ساتھ کہ
وہ تجھ کو ستاتے ہیں تو تجھ پہ بھی لازم ہے میر
خاک ڈال ، آگ لگا ، نام نہ لے، یاد نہ کر

I grew up in the city and lived there until I was 30 years old. Despite the considerable population density, I did not often encounter gossip there. The situation changed when I got married and we temporarily (as it seemed to us at the time) moved to the village. At first I was a little shocked. It seemed that some people's heads were designed only to look over the fence into other people's yards. I it was surprising to learn that people were interested in my humble persona. They were interested in knowing everything: where I work, what my position is, where I was born and who my parents are... any information. It is interesting that the information they obtained was mixed with conjectures and absolutely fantastic gossip arose. For a while, people thought that I was almost the head of a big company and could get them all into high-paying jobs, but I don't want to do that because I'm so bad. There were fun times 🤣
There is no recipe for dealing with gossip. Even when I tried to honestly tell people everything that interested them, they still didn't trust me and trusted the gossip.

I mean, really? They wouldn’t let a peaceful human being like you live quietly?
I think people tend to believe whatever fits their idea of someone, regardless of reality. Personally, I am not wired to think ill of others. With every justification in my mind, I want to believe that people are, or at least should be, inherently good, especially since we live in what we like to call a cultured and civilized society.
But the truth is, jealousy, intimidation, or even sheer boredom can push people to gossip. And sometimes, they do it just for the thrill of it. At the end of the day, there’s little one can do to change that, except to rise above and stay true to oneself. Easier said than done. But what other option do we have!
Of course it's okay to be rude sometimes! My recommendation would go further: be rude to all and everyone for the most part. It'll be all the more captivating for someone if you're friendly ;-)) Seriously, you're not in the diplomatic corps, you don't owe anyone humble courtesy.
No, I haven't felt that way yet. I still don't think I'm as thoughtless as those whose behaviour you deplore. I just don't let almost anything extrinsic get to me...

You're not alone dear, you're not alone. Thank God. I thought it is only the case with me. But we're all sailing the same boat(hyper sensitive people like us, those who run on vibes).
I wish i could say this(your post) to them but again karma scares me.
To survive in this world, dheet ban jyen, bara scope hai, par banain kese😶
My best friend( who married a year ago) said, Amina ignore things, your sharp memory(you flex about) isn't gonna help you, it's more like a curse.
I think sometime that all the people in this world should be illiterate/jahil. Who will be offended then?
