Why am I confined to my own imaginative world?

How is this world connected to me? It’s been 20 years on this planet and I still don’t understand my tie-in with this world. Everyone has their own viewpoint towards this world. Every individual has their own way of looking at this world. But for me it’s different; completely different, sometimes it feels like I’m in a wrong world; this world is wrong and doesn’t belong to me, I shouldn’t be here. Sometimes it feels like a prison; like I’m a caged bird of this prisoned world. Sometimes it feels someone would’ve come and set me free from this prisoned world. Then I thought and thought and though and then decided why not me; why would I have to wait for someone else to set me free, why can’t I set myself free. So, for now, I am confined to my own imaginative world, the world created by me, the world where only my imagination lives no one else. By living in my self-created world, I’ve learned that imagination can lead you anywhere and wherever you want to go, I’ve learned that imagination is irreplaceable and more valuable than reality. I personally believe that imaginative world helps you to vanquish anything in this world. By imagining you allow your mind to roam freely which can aid creativity and innovation. And then I realized that for me it had become vital to create an inner world not to escape from reality but to get some inner peace.

It is very well said by someone that “Thoughts Become Things”, willingly or unwillingly, consciously or unconsciously we always think about something. Without thoughts, without feelings, we would not be able to discern the thought form in our imaginative or real world as well.

 I don’t know how many of you have come across with the term “Nefelibata”. It means ‘the one who lives in the clouds of their own imagination; an unconventional person’. It is actually a Portuguese word derived from ‘nephele’ means cloud and batha means a place where you can walk.

Tell me, can you hear the sound of the wind through trees in this real world? Nope, you can only do it in your imaginary world, the world you’ve created inside you. Close your eyes and think, think about anything; create some imaginations be it related to you, your love life, your workplace, etc, go through it deeply; look for the very small, precise details, live it truly in a place where your own strength is drawn, where you are your most authentic self, a place no one can find you, a place into which you can disappear whenever you want and then tell me how that creative and innovative world don’t turn your mundane life into a great magical experience, tell me how the things don’t appear more beautiful than they actually are. Just close your eyes and walk through the cloud made by you, the cloud made up of your own imaginations, the cloud where only you can walk and you’ll feel tranquil when you become nelipot while walking. Undress the reality by using your imaginative power and dress your inner imaginative world in the most impressive manner and then you’ll become the sapiosexual in your own eyes and then you’ll become an artistic storyteller to yourself.  Just imagine how thrilling, how amazing our world would become just by imagining things, just by creating the cloud of your own imaginative thoughts.

Walk leisurely alone in your own world you’ll get the peace of mind you’ve never ever imagined, the peace of mind that will only come from pleasant thoughts.

“One day you’ll be at the place you always wanted to be;

  One day you’ll get the level of serenity you always wanted to get;

  One day you’ll live the life you always wanted to live;

  One day you’ll have the things you always dreamt of;

  One day you’ll be in the world you always wanted to be”.

  Just don’t stop believing yourself.

 Now let’s see what imagination can do. Imagination leads you to the new ideas, new ideas lead you to the creativity; creativity leads you to the innovation, innovation leads you to the invention; through the resourcefulness of your invention you create a different vision to live your life happily whether it is an imaginative or the real one, doesn’t matter.

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

An Open Letter To The Hustlers

To be or not to be, to go all in or to unwind and relax, we question our dreams, running in constant chase of our quests to come true, we are the ones who never sleep. Dreamers we are called, the ones who passionately strive in the endeavours of the best they could ever be, here is a letter to me, a letter to you. In the stride of embracing the best you have ever been, nurture your soul before the onset of the abundance in you that lies unseen.

Too bold, too much for your age, you are doing too much, how often have you heard these notions been used to describe you? As we tirelessly strive to achieve the next goal we have in our mind, we are often told that we are being hard on ourselves, to enjoy life a little. Life in its entirety passes by us in its dynamic flair, and the existence we envisage holds unique individuality to each one of us. The choices one makes for themselves belies them and them only, and t

How To Remain Centered And Calm In Face Of Difficulty

My life is a mess and I have nothing to be grateful about! I witness myself say this phrase from time to time, where life plonks us into the desperation of ebb and flow of wilderness and things not going in our favour.

It is easy to say we are grateful and in complete balance when things are going well and life feels like the warm embrace of the sun shining on a Sunday morning. But the real test lies in remaining grateful and centred when life feels like spinning out of control.

While it is easier said than done, here are some reminders that might help you get through the days that feel like a burden –

1) This too shall pass, no moment in time that feels permanent loses its impermanence. We often lose hope when things don’t go our way and during these sad days, we should remember, that t

15 Most Liberating Thoughts For Someone Who Needs It

Our life unfolds in a succession of revelations of who we are. It is when we sit down and repeat the same sentence in our head over and over again, in every action we perform, every activity we indulge ourselves in, does it indulges into our existence as a habit.

The key to having a sense of liberation is allowing life to flow through, not forcing anything and more essentially not resisting change. I believe that our life improves in the direct proportionality of how often we are exposed to situations where are forced to challenge our age-old beliefs and counterfeited perceptions and seek the greater version of ourselves. When we get too comfortable in the comfort zones we build for ourselves, we do not grow into the people we are meant to be. Sadly most people embrace change only when metamorphosis is the less painful and only possible option.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

What are the five love languages?

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
