Adoration or obsession.

As per Merriam Webster:

Adore means: to feel or show great affection and devotion. 

Obsession means: a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling. 

So there’s a fine line between adoration and obsession. One doesn’t realize when adoration turns to a full time obsession. 

I personally feel that when one is obsessed with something or someone, it’s out of their control. One doesn’t start feeling this strongly over night or knowingly. It happens without one’s realization and it hits hard. 

Adoration on the other hand is when you feel strongly about someone but there’s a certain amount of respect and reverence associated with that feeling. 

When does this adoration turn to obsession?

If math were to come into this situation, this is what it would look like. 

Adoration - Respect = Obsession. 

When the person thinks that the object of their adoration is theirs and only theirs that’s when it turns to obsession. But one forgets that nothing or no one is for theirs to keep. We all came empty handed and we will leave similarly too. How easy is it to forget this one simple fact of life? My answer is, it’s very easy. 

Often being so wound up in life’s mumbo jumbo, we forget what we came with and what we will take back. Which is nothing. But we do leave behind a legacy. A legacy that one’s people will remember for some time to come. 

Back again

After a long hiatus away from the Blogosphere, I’ve finally decided to give it a go again.
My head usually swims with a gazillion ideas and thoughts. It’s like it never shuts off. I’m so thankful to my dedicated set of girlfriends who very patiently listen to my every little rant and rambling. Now what they do after that is something that I’m completely unaware of. I’m secretly hoping they don’t shut me out completely. Now that would be hilarious.
Imagine me trying to talk as always and they say, shuddduupppp! And I make a puppy face and they go fine get on with it. Then I start over.
Yeah point being that ain’t gonna ever happen. I’ll always talk and they don’t have a choice. And I’d like to believe they know it. We like to keep the expectations clear, this group!
So anyhooooodles, since I’ve decided to not torture my girlfriends as much with my yakety yak I’ll be blogging a lot more than before. Which means now I will be asking if they read this new post a million times!
Good times! Adios for now and keep coming back for more.

The heart is at an uncertain unrest.

Is it me or is it my emotions wrecking havoc in my mind?

I feel a turmoil in my head.

I feel a storm brewing, a wild nasty storm.

I need an outlet.

I am on an emotional roller-coaster.

I am a disaster waiting to happen.

I need some peace time, some me time.

I need to sort out my agitated head.

I need to make truce with myself.

I need to find peace within myself.

I am driving myself insane.

I hope I don't give up.

I love my life, I want to live my life.

All these emotions are not helping me.

I dont want to be the carrier of all these sentiments.

I want me back.

I cannot live being this immature person I'm not familiar with.

I don't know who she is and I do not want to entertain her any further.

I am not me.

I am being someone I don't know, someone I loathe.

I will not let that someone rule me and my life.

This is my life and I want my life back.

I want my peace back.

I want my personality back.

I want me back to the way I was.

I've changed and not for the good.

I've become a hotheaded and snotty person.

I know that is not me. 

I detest that snobbish girl staring at me  from the mirror every morning.

I've become a bitch.

I will change myself, for the better.

I will redeem myself, for everyone around me.

I will bring my old self back, for my family.

I will be me, so when I die, I will be missed.

I am me.

Bang bang or fizzle pop?

When I got back to blogging I thought my mind would explode with things to say, but looks like that ain't gonna happen. I am always so full of ideas, but now why do I feel that putting those thoughts on paper has become a humongous task? I do want to write, rant, and be crazily verbose. Now if only my hands will follow suit.

So apart from my thoughts on whether to go bang bang or fizzle out, here's just one pick from my brain……….... Coconut water.
I was reading a blog post(which was recommended by a friend of mine) about where bottled or canned coconut water is sourced from and which ones are the real deal. Well by the end of the post I was extremely well informed about the different processes that go into making it and then shipping to various parts of the world and also how we as humans have a knack to complicate something as simple as procuring a coconut.
This made me think, isn't that right also when it comes to relationships? We have an extraordinary ability to convolute relations just because in most cases our ego gets the better of us. Its a wonder we still continue to evolve despite all the obscurity. How hard is it to patch up with someone without getting the big E in the way, how hard is it to pick up the phone and make a call just to say Hi? But no, that would mean bowing down and accepting defeat isn't it? Well, if you see it from a glass is half full point of view, the person who makes that call is infact the greater one, with more sense and life experiences. So doesn't that make you a winner i.e. if you are still keeping score!


Think about it. Life doesn't have to be complicated, its as simple as you want it to be.

Back with a bang!

Wow its been 5 long years since I blogged. Life got in the way, what can I say!
Well I'm back, hopefully for good and this time I plan to stick around a little longer.
So wish me luck my peeps and let's begin in 3. 2. 1…..
ACTION!

The choice is made, the verdict is here

The news was out last week.........Archie Andrews proposes Veronica Lodge.

Many people, had issues with that, saying that Archie was ruthless and that he should've chosen Betty Cooper instead , etc etc....

But me? I was happy and not the least surprised, well it always seemed so obvious, that AA was totally smitten by VL. Why then would one assume that he would choose BC over VL? Moreover, VL has a better package to offer, and in this present day, anyone will opt for VL.

Moreover, I always liked Ms.Lodge and thought very highly of her. Sure she is shallow and boastful and of the brat type, but hey she's got the works going for her man, why shouldn't she use it? Atleast she is being honest about her fabulousness right!

Betty reminds me of Devdas, always sad and constantly hoping but never wins (well occasionally she does though, but only as second choice). The Betty types are too hypocritical and personally methinks they are just too tough to deal with. And I mean no offense btw.

Ultimately, what I mean to say is that I'm glad Archie chose Veronica and I'm sure they'll live happily ever after. The only sad part about this though is that, the comic will end (sobbing continuously!). I love the Archies collection, I always get them, I grew up reading them and never missed an issue back then (now it's a different story though). My comic reading will never be the same again.

So what do you think about Archie proposing Veronica and not Betty? Tell me more.

A healthy tip

I hope you guys haven't missed me while I was MIA! Well, I was a bit out of the blogging mood, so that kinda kept me away from Viva la Vida. Now, I've even lost track of my thoughts....

Ok, so according to the Food Detectives, the amount of water a person needs on a daily basis is.............here's the equation:

Your weight / 2 (your weight divided by 2) = water required in ounces, to maintain a healthy system and skin. 

So what they say about an average person requiring about 8 glasses of water a day is true, because ultimately (unless you are underweight or over), the DV of water is somewhere between 55 - 70 oz.

Do some good to yourself and drink up that pure, clear liquid.......WATER!

Edited to add: weight in pounds(lbs) / 2 = water required in oz.......all units in US system
