Maybe Things Really Do Fall Into Place

Image
♡ play our song ♡ October, 2026 🧿 🧿 Sometimes I think about the girl I was in May and June and honestly wish I could sit next to her for a bit. Not to spoil how everything turns out, just to tell her it won't always feel like this. I was overthinking literally everything back then. Worrying about the future, wondering if the things I wanted so badly would ever actually happen, trying to predict every outcome like that would somehow save me from stress. (It did not.) And then slowly, things just... fell into place. Now I'm studying something I used to wish for so much. I sit in classes where professors talk about stuff I actually find interesting, I'm meeting new people, going to new places, and building a life that feels more like mine. It's so weird how something that felt impossibly far away becomes a normal part of a random Monday morning. Like, I used to pray for this, and now I just wake up and go to class. Maybe that's why I believe...

an introduction, apparentlyÛ¶۟ৎ

  So hi, I'm Amolika. And I will be the single most clumsy, chaotic person you ever meet, guaranteed. The catch is, if you meet me for the first time, I come across as this super chill, nonchalant person. Give it like a MONTH ig,  and you'll realize I'm actually unhinged in the best way. and no, i'm not saying this to hype myself up; this is literally just what my friends say about me. I'm only the messenger. Let's talk about the clumsiness first because it deserves its own paragraph honestly. if you're my friend you already know. i once fell while running, and I swear it happened in actual slow motion, like i had time to think "oh no this is happening" while it was still happening. embarrassing? yes. do i regret it? also yes. but i was with my friends so it immediately became a whole bit instead of a tragedy. i'm also the most leo-est leo you'll ever meet (august girl, obviously), and yeah, i'll say it myself, I can absolutely be a bit...

If Your Standards Change, So Does Your Self-Respect

Image
Ok, so this year taught me something I genuinely wish someone had told me earlier: self-respect is NOT optional. like i used to just let things slide, let people treat me a certain way, and just...  deal with it. and it always caught up with me later. always. I used to give up on myself so easily. The second something got hard, I'd just fold. But starting college kind of flipped that for me. I realised loving yourself is actually so much better than I thought it was. I used to think if i was sitting alone somewhere, it meant something was wrong with me, like i didn't have people. But that's not it at all. it just means i've learned to give myself space and do the things I actually like, without needing someone next to me to make it feel valid. and honestly that's where self-respect really comes from, not from saying "I respect myself" but from what you actually let happen to you. if someone's being disrespectful, the move isn't to hold on tighter...

starting 2026 grounded

Image
Hiiii everyone, I'm back. This year's blog is gonna look a little different i think, still figuring that part out. but happy new year to everyone reading this!! i really really hope 2026 is better than 2025, like genuinely, because 2025 taught me SO much but this year i actually want to use it, not just survive it lol. and we're like a few days in and it's already giving me things to think about so here we go. so the first thing, the didi who comes to clean our house. every single day she shows up with a smile, like actually smiling, never once complains, and she WALKS more than 3km just to get here. we went to her house recently and it was smaller than like, a bathroom honestly, and she lives there with her whole family (five people) plus some baby dogs she takes care of too. and she has zero complaints. none. just shows up and does what needs to be done. and i won't lie that hit me kind of hard. like how often do we complain about stuff that genuinely doesn't ...

The Most Beautiful Thing I Saw This Week

Image
So I was walking back from the gate today and I literally stopped mid-step because the trees in my society are COVERED in flowers rn. like when did this happen?? i swear they didn't look like this even a week ago, I would've noticed. i just stood there for way longer than necessary tbh. they're so pretty, like that pink you only see in those cherry blossom pics from japan on Pinterest, except this is just my society, on a random day, for no reason. no one planted them to look like that. no one's out here specially watering them. they just bloomed whenever they felt like it. which is kind of crazy when you think about it, like pretty things really just take their own time and don't ask anyone first. anyway i got so obsessed i picked up a few that had fallen on the ground and pressed them into my journal lol. idk why but i liked the idea that even on days i don't write anything, i'll open it and there they'll be, just sitting there being pretty. and ok...

Falling in Love With Seasons, Not Just People

Image
So lately i've just been letting life do whatever it wants tbh. like some days are just heavy for literally no reason, some days pass by and i don't even remember them, and then some random day just sticks with me and i genuinely could not tell you why. i've started noticing all these tiny things lately, like how the air feels right before it rains, or how time just slows down when i'm stuck in my head thinking about nothing, or this weird comfort in just... watching the world do its thing around me. i literally call myself an autumn girl and i've never even seen autumn once in my life lol. it's just rain here basically. but idk maybe that's actually the whole point? like you don't need some perfect aesthetic moment to feel something. a boring grey sky can hit just as hard as golden leaves if you actually let it. we spend so much time waiting around for the right person, the right moment, the right whatever. but honestly life's already giving us e...

You Don’t Need a Week Off. Sometimes, Just Two Days Can Change Everything.

Image
I was literally just lying in bed thinking about how one small trip can change you. like actually change you, your whole perspective, idk how else to explain it. anyway for me that trip was udaipur. two three days away. that's it. that's all it took apparently. ok so my parents took me and i'm still not over it honestly. udaipur is not a JUST A  place. it's SO royal it doesn't even feel real, like i kept forgetting i wasn't in a movie. NAINA, YOU WERE SO RIGHT ABOUT UDAIPUR. three days and i genuinely did not want to come back, I think I actually said that out loud like five times and everyone got annoyed w me lol. i just got so into being there that i forgot i even have a life waiting for me at home, like everything just. didn't exist for a bit. we went because a family friend had an event, and the resort we stayed at was insane, like actually one of the most beautiful places i've ever been. and ok i have to say this bc it's crazy, my screen time wa...
