I have been always shy .. historically.. always .. I mean, I’m just so emotional, and sensitive to pretty much everything .. and was also exceptionally lonely for my entire life .. I, for many years now ever since I was 12, have been just overly concerned with what other people thought of me.. I just wanted to fit in and be seen, heard and understood.. I wanted friends to rescue me from my loneliness .. Perhaps that’s why I am very shy .. now I’m trying to get away from it by

I see a lot of blind, lost, misguided people in this world. People who talk, but don’t show. People who hear, but don’t listen. People who think, but don’t feel. People who share, but don’t care. People lost as to what to do, but keep on doing it. People who have nothing to say, but keep on saying it. People of great passion, but destitute in compassion.

I’d been very recently through immense traumatic misery and despair -even despondency. I'd thought that being the veritable incommunicado ghost would help me heal by allowing me to feel and express my emotions without suppressing them. I thought that two weeks of solitude would be sufficient and potent enough to do the trick. I was at least partially, wrong.

Smart; I know that I'm fallible, flawed and erroneous. I'm imperfect. I make mistakes. I goof. I blunder. I bungle up things sometimes. But I know that making mistakes doesn't define us unless we allow it. We're not defined by our errors or imperfections. What matters is to fix them. It's not "Am I perfect?", but nay "How do I deal with my imperfections. By sweeping them under the rug and negating them? Or by fully and unabashedly embracing them, taking responsibility for the

Foreword: It is said that questions lead to the answers; but in reality, when we ask the right questions, don't questions then themselves become the answer? After deep thought and rumination, it occurred to me that, when it comes down to it, questions don’t lead to answers, questions are the answer. Let me explain.
