Namaste writers! I hope that you are being good and healthy. I am Mahek and I am back with another blog related to things that happens in our daily lives.

Winter has knocked our doors and I am so excited, as my favourite season is right above my head and not to mention my most favourite festival Diwali is also round the corner. Something about this all-festive vibe makes me feel more excited about this month. Amidst this all, there is hollowness, I was feeling from past few days and still I am. I tried to name it everything I could, be it a fomo (fear of missing out), missing my friends, or wanting to be with my partner but soon I realised that it's not related to anyone I mentioned. In fact, it have had something to do with my habit of bottling up. Yes, to my surprise I was keeping all the things to my mind and not expressing them in a healthy way and by healthy way I mean I was not accepting it, ignoring my mind chatter related to it at all cost. Although, I want to say that whoever is on this platform and writing regularly can relate to one thing that writing is that one thing we all tend to love the most otherwise we wouldn’t be coming here daily or almost to write and read our fellow writers' words.

IT IS NOT GOOD TO HAVE TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING. 

I read the above quote somewhere on the internet. Expressing is good and so keeping it to yourself . But sometimes you might not be wanting too much of either. Expressing or sharing your emotions and feelings too much might bring a little discomfort, as you may end up telling your secrets that were worth hiding or to be with only your loved ones. And so is bottling up. Keeping everything inside your heart and mind  might end up suffocating your soul.  It’s very mandatory to strike a balance between both things. 

I noticed the other day that I am feeling a bit suffocating and that I wasn't feeling myself lately. Walking against the night breeze, my mind was entangled in thoughts. Realisation hit me hard when I felt that it was all happening because I had developed a habit lately of keeping everything to myself and not expressing it in the manner I did earlier. As I also wrote above that some of us here just loves to write and I am among one of those. I love to write. It doesn't matter if I take huge gaps, I know It’s not right, but one thing never changes: my love for writing and expressing my true and genuine feelings. Not to mention taking huge gaps is not at all a healthy habit for a writer and I am on the path to correct it.

For conclusion i will only say that don’t bottle up each and everything, express it, in whatever form you are comfortable in or you generally do, just don't suffocate yourself. And, if you are someone like me, then mate don't ever let that distracting little piece of poop inside your head ruin your consistency and mood.

Always believe in yourself. Your future self is so proud of you for always contributing your 1% each day to your 100% success in the future:) .
