Chapter 78 : Poetry : The Realism of Love



Love, a tale both old and new,

A feeling vast, yet interpreted.

We weave it as immortal art,

But does it hold such timeless heart?


It isn’t easy, nor always kind,

A test of will, of heart, and mind.

Not grand gestures, nor spreading fire,

But quiet acts that don’t expire.


Love cannot fix what’s deep inside,

No magic cure for pain we hide.

Two souls must stand, both whole, complete,

For love to grow, for hearts to meet.


It’s choice, not just a fleeting flame,

A steady course, not just a game.

When thrill fades into steady streams,

Love builds its strength in shared dreams.


Unrequited, it leaves its ache,

A silent lesson, hearts must take.

For loving’s power, raw and real,

Is not in getting, but to feel.


It shifts, it grows, it learns, it bends,

From passion’s heat to trust as friends.

Not less, but more, it finds its way,

Through every night and dawning day.


But love requires a heart that's whole,

To give, yet guard, your sacred soul.

For empty cups can’t quench the thirst,

Self-love and care must come first.


And though it blooms, it may not stay,

Some loves are meant to fade away.

Yet even in their brief spark,

They leave their light within the dark.


So know, dear heart, love’s fragile art,

It’s not a race, nor quick to start.

It’s magic real, yet bound by ground,

A choice where truth and dreams are found.

Chapter 1: Embracing Self Awareness

Let me begin my first blog with a quote, " Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom"- Aristotle I am Alena, I am a normal girl with ordinary talents. If that is the way I introduce myself, what makes me different and what makes me unique?  Most of the people including myself, become insecure and shy away from challenges life has in store because of not being self-aware of their potential. Self awareness plays a major role in personal growth and well being of a person. We need to understand and keep track of our strengths and weaknesses. Our strength could end up turning into our weakness and our weakness could end up being our strength later. An example from my life: In school, I had a hard time making friends which I considered as a flaw, In college I don't find that as an issue which ends up being my strength. I remember starting a personal diary to jot down my emotions and instead of writing what I truly felt, I wrote as if somebody would read it. That is not th...

Chapter 48 : I turned 19!

  Today has been the best birthday ever, and I can't stop smiling! The morning began with the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, made with love by my mom. She surprised me with a beautiful dress that instantly became one of my favorites. My dad followed with a gift box filled with decadent chocolates, and my brother, knowing me too well, handed me my favorite chips, such simple yet thoughtful gestures that filled me with joy. When I got to college, I was greeted with warm hugs and heartfelt birthday wishes from everyone. Messages poured in, not just from friends at college but also from people I hadn’t expected, old schoolmates, friends from church, and even people I hadn't spoken to in a while. Their kindness and love made the day feel even more special, and I couldn't help but feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people.  One of the highlights was a heartfelt handmade letter from my best friend, Angel. It wasn’t just any letter; she had crafted it in...

Chapter 2: Pain behind every smile

For the people who think life is unfair, "The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears, and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain"- A beautiful soul. Behind every smile there is a hidden story. I had a teacher who had an immense amount of positivity in her. She always wore a beautiful smile on her face. She loved teaching her students and put in maximum effort to everything she did. Seeing her being so positive, I thought she didn't have much trials in life and I wished I was like her. Was that the reality? No!.  One day, we had a personal conversation with her and we realised how melancholic her life was. She narrated an incident where she was on the verge of losing her life and she talked about the other issues she had to encounter everyday of her life, which was not something we would imagine her having. She hid all the pain with a smile. I still remember asking her jokingly, "Should I write a book based on your ...
