Dreams Are Not for Sleeping

Why dreams exist to awaken us, not comfort us. 

We often think of dreams as soft, comforting things - fleeting fantasies that arrive in the stillness of night. But the truth is, we are not given dreams to help us sleep better. We are given dreams to wake us up. 

Dreams are not designed to be cozy distractions from the harshness of life. They are not a balm for our wounds or a substitute for what is missing. They are not there to remind us of what we don't have and leave us feeling disappointed in our present. No, dreams serve a far greater purpose. 

Dreams are seeds of possibility. They are sparks meant to ignite our courage, our action and our determination. they give us something to reach for something just out of grasp, yet somehow still real. They challenge us to rise beyond our circumstances, to defy limitations, and to stretch into who we are capable of becoming. 

When we treat dreams merely as escapism, we betray their power. Because the true purpose of a dream is not to comfort but to call. A call to action. A call to growth. A call to persistence. 

Dreams stir our souls. They whisper truths we have not dared to say aloud. They show us what we deeply desire, what we were born to pursue, and what lights us up from the inside. And if we choose to listen - really listen - they have the power to change everything. 

But it takes courage. Because dreams are not easy. They often demand sacrifice, patience, and faith. They ask us to believe in something we cannot yet see. They push us to show up., even when it is hard. And they test how deeply we want them.

Yet, the most beautiful truth is this: dreams are possible.They would not be given to us if we did not have the potential to bring them to life. 

So, if a dream has been placed in your heart, know this - it is not random. It is not accidental. It is yours for a reason. And you owe it to yourself to try.

How to Let Go Kindly

The passing on should not be noisy and inhumane. Self - respect is something which can be quite a thing. A drama is not needed in every outcome. Many or much needs and justly merits grace. When you are ready to give something up, be it something processional, connection, a conviction or even a character of yourself, you do not have to demolish a mountain or make a bridge combust to walk away. And this is one way of releasing with out hurting: 1. When you are truthful with yourself you are the first person that you ought to deceive. Understanding is the initial hospitality. Realize truth and facts to yourself before you relay them to someone. You ask yourself-Why are you keeping it? Or is it fear, or love, or habit, or guilt? 2. You dont have to make a big exit Certainly you do not need to say much good bye to anybody. It may be sometimes the kindest thing not to take much hold, not to be very like, instead of being very unlike, as not to say anything very ill. 3. Being the best ver...

Letting go : The Lesson I Din't want, But Needed

There are many things that don’t break us; they just ask to be released. We carry a certain heaviness. It's not because we have to, but because we don’t know how to set it down or let it go. For me, it was a friendship I clung to too tightly. It used to bring joy, laughter, and comfort. But over time, it began to feel like walking on eggshells. I felt responsible for someone else's happiness while neglecting my own. Still, I held on. Letting go felt like failing. It felt like giving up on something that once meant the world to me. Then one day, I realized I wasn’t holding on out of love anymore. I was holding on out of fear—fear of being wrong, fear of being alone, and fear of what others might think. That’s when I learned what letting go truly means. Letting go isn’t always dramatic. It’s not a slammed door or a final message. Sometimes, it’s simply waking up and choosing peace over pressure. Sometimes, it’s not about walking away, but stepping back—kindly, firmly, and fully. ...

When They Walk Away Without Apology - It’s Not You, It’sTheir Conscience

Have you ever found yourself wondering why someone who just you just vanished? Why they chose silence over accountability?Why they disappeared instead of simply saying,”I am sorry?” You are not alone.  Sometimes people don’t walk away because they don’t care - they walk away because deep down,  they know they were wrong, and they don’t have the emotional maturity to face it.  That is what psychology refers to as guilty conscience.  When someone knows they have treated you unfairly - disrespected you, betrayed your trust, or hurt you - they may start avoiding you altogether. Not because you are at fault, but because being around you reminds them of their own failure to take responsibility.  Avoidance becomes their escape route. Accountability is too heavy a burden for those who lack the courage to own their mistakes.  And so, instead of apologising or repairing the relationship, they simply. Remove themselves from your life quietly. Without closure.Without e...
