As I jot this down, there’s a mix of sadness and relief. Love isn’t just a chemical reaction or physical attraction; it’s about presence and connection. The women I’ve loved had more than just charm—they had a unique essence. Even when love feels past tense, it never fully leaves. We’re all trying to grasp this feeling, writing and reading about it, but maybe we never quite do. And that’s okay.

Aiming not for a perfect rhythm but perpetual movement, I share thoughts and practices that resonate with my quest for happiness and fulfillment. Happy New Year! 🚀

My exploration into music’s intricacies challenges predictability and the brain’s comprehension amidst infinite possibilities. Evolution shapes our musical tastes, while the human brain grapples with classifying ‘good’ music. How it navigates trillions of musical permutations remains a mystery. This quest extends beyond music, questioning truth and personal preferences. It acknowledges diverse musical tastes, from ‘tiktok’ to classical, and ponders if exposure to mature music shapes mature minds.

Think of your body as a vessel for energy, absorbing from the world. A friend, facing family strife, depression, and societal expectations, blamed himself for circumstances beyond control. Many battle self-blame in societies like India, fueled by family struggles, societal pressures, and perfectionism. Recognizing these roots is crucial for empathy. Mindfulness, stepping back to analyze thoughts, can combat self-blame. Understanding shared human experiences, including the damaging cycle of self-blame, fosters a kinder world that celebrates uniqueness, breaking the cycle of self-hate. The negativity in your bucket isn’t your doing; it’s someone else’s contribution.
