Uncertainty

By Nipun Chadha



" Trust the wait. 
Embrace the uncertainty.
Enjoy the beauty of becoming.
When nothing is certain, anything is possible." 
- Mandy Hale


You know the feeling of driving on roads that are unknown? 
How clueless you feel seeing the path in front of you;
And how you are constantly trying to figure the way out of reach to a desirable point from
somewhere you started. 
Compare this to how you feel driving on the roads just outside your home.
How comfortable it is, how prepared you are for the potholes. Just how easy it is to be in the moment.

The point I am trying to make is that uncertainty is uncomfortable. Especially when you are in a very comfortable bubble. 
But here’s a thing about bubbles. The higher they fly, higher is the probability of that bubble breaking due to the pressure it deals with.

Yes, uncertainty is uncomfortable. 
But coming back to my example of an unknown road. 
Do you know how amazing it feels when you finally reach your destination despite all the uncertainty? The adrenaline rush of knowing that you made it by yourself (Yes, I know google maps exist, but hear me out).

That is exactly the case with our lives. We spend most of our lives living in a comfortable position.
However, we are constantly in search of what we desire; because it does not exist in our comfort zone. 
We have to break out of that bubble, survive the fall, and somehow get back up to take the path never taken by us, find a direction towards our deepest desires.
So as I understand, uncertainty can trigger a lot of fear and anxiety. 
I feel we are doing a great job if we break out of our sweet and happy bubbles and embark upon the journey on a long foreign road.

3 years later, what life's like?

I'm picking up my pen again, and it feels amazing!  It’s truly easy to get swept away in the bunch of responsibilities, deadlines, and the never-ending grind of our daily routines.  Lately, I’ve felt this chaos more than ever. I’ve been so completely absorbed in the busyness of life that I’ve lost touch with the things that always brought me so much happiness. I've been so consumed by my responsibilities that I've lost touch with the things that bring me joy, and it's only now that I'm starting to feel the emptiness that's been growing inside me. Life can be overwhelming, and it often demands so much from us. Academic responsibilities, work commitments, family obligations, social engagements — they all pull at our time and energy. Yet, in the midst of this hustle, I believe it is necessary to pause and ask ourselves: What brings us joy? What makes our hearts sing? For me, it’s the simple pleasures: curling up with a good book, losing myself in the pages of a sto...

The intimacy of Silence

There is a rare comfort in sitting beside someone and feeling understood without uttering a single word. In a world where we’re pushed to be constantly be expressive, to explain ourselves and to articulate every feeling, there exists an almost magical power in shared silence — a kind of intimacy that words often fail to capture. In these quiet moments, connections deepen, and the space between two hearts grow smaller, free from the weight of expectations and explanations.  There are moments in life when we’re so overwhelmed, so exhausted, that even the simplest words feel heavy.  In those moments, all we want is someone who understands without forcing us to speak. The people who can sit with you in your silence, without needing to know the details, are the ones who know that sometimes, presence alone is the strongest form of support. They offer a quiet assurance that says, “You don’t have to explain yourself; I’m here, and I see you.” When life is heavy, when your heart feels ...

F-It list

 I have realized that I have always been an “I want to do it all,” kinda person. But there are moments when I don't want to hustle; instead, I want to lie the fuck down. Take it from someone who has consumed chamomile tea, tried meditation, and booked me-time in the calendar in an attempt of being her 'best self'. Balance isn't found at the bottom of a pricey tea or as the conclusion of a yoga lesson. Instead, it's a state of mind. And something that has really been working for me is - ' A Fuck-It list' We spend a lot of time checking things off our to-do lists, creating aspirational Pinterest boards, and pondering our next big goal, dream, or plan. Then we wonder why we've burned out. Answer honestly- How much time and effort do you put into stuff that doesn't really matter? Or activities that you think you "should" do rather than those that you really want to do? STEPS TO MAKE A FUCK-IT LIST -   Make a mental or physical list of all the t...
