The Kind of Girl No One Writes About

 Everyone hears the girl in Apartment 3C. She talks fast, laughs louder, trips over her own feet and laughs again. She’s the one who greets the mailman like an old friend, waves to every dog like it’s a celebrity, and knocks over something in the hallway at least once a week. Ira Kashyap is all elbows and opinions, the kind of person who shows up overdressed to a casual thing and underprepared for the serious ones. She loses her keys twice a day and finds them in her hand. She’s chaos in motion, always saying the quiet parts out loud. She’s really funny,the quick, unfiltered kind that catches people off guard. And even when she doesn’t have it all together, she’s the first to step up when someone else needs help. But even with all the noise she carries, something often went quiet in her. It never stopped her from anything. She’s not quiet about who she is. She never has been. She walks like she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation, like she dares you to misunderstand her. People talk....

“If You Want Different, Then You Gotta Choose Different”

 Okay, let's just dive straight into it. You can’t keep ordering chaos off the menu and then cry when peace doesn’t show up on your plate. You can't keep texting your ex and expect emotional stability to magically materialize like you're some heartbreak wizard. Nah. That’s not how it works, boo. We all want different. A different vibe. A different friend group. A different life. A different version of ourselves that doesn’t break down mentally just because someone took five hours to reply. (Real talk.) But here’s where it gets spicy: we want different, yet we keep choosing the same. The same patterns. The same excuses. The same half-baked habits. It's like yelling "I want out!" while voluntarily locking the door from the inside. It’s giving... self-sabotage, but make it cute. Now before you roll your eyes and say “it’s not that simple,” let me stop you right there. I’m not saying it’s easy. I’m saying it’s possible. There's a difference. This isn’t about p...

Loud, lost and full of love

 Hear me out. No matter how messy the world gets,no matter how many disasters, heartbreaks, or broken phone screens we go through love and kindness always find a way. Like that random weed growing out of a sidewalk crack. Uninvited, lowkey annoying, but kind of inspiring. There’s this one story that lives rent-free in my brain. An old woman lost her dog during a tornado. Whole place was torn apart. She’s standing in front of her destroyed house, talking to a news reporter, heartbroken and out of nowhere, her dog just walks out of the rubble. All casual. Like, “Hey, I just did a boss fight with Mother Nature. Got snacks?” And the woman just breaks down crying, hugging her dog, and honestly? Same. I would’ve cried too. I probably did cry. (We don’t talk about that.) And that, my friend, is why I believe in love. Even if the world is falling apart like a cheap plastic chair, there’s always some random, heartwarming thing that reminds you, humans can still be decent. Now, let’s talk ab...

PROLOGUE: The Great Blur — A Symphony of Silent Thought

 Ever been so far inside your head that the world outside starts to fade like a half-erased chalkboard? Not your typical “oops, zoned out in class” kind of thing. No. I mean completely gone. Like someone slowly turned the volume of life down to zero and all that’s left is the echo of your own thoughts. And even they don’t feel like yours anymore. They feel smarter. Wiser. Too heavy to have come from you. Almost like your brain borrowed them from a library that only opens when your soul’s on fire. It starts small. A blink too long. A breath too deep. You’re staring at a wall, but it’s no longer a wall. It’s a movie screen for your mind to project the chaos it’s been hiding. Your eyes are open, but they’ve stopped seeing. People are talking. Life is moving. But you? You’re stuck in a thought that doesn’t have edges. It goes on and on. And you fall into it like Alice, except there’s no Wonderland. Just the truth. And the truth is… terrifyingly beautiful. Because in that moment, you’re...

PART 1: The Great Blur — The Whisper That Watches (the blur's perspective)

 You called it a blur. But I call myself the pause between your heartbeats. The breath you forget you’re holding. I’m not here by accident. I’m not a glitch. I’m the moment your soul sighs and slips through the cracks in your consciousness. And I’ve been waiting for you. I see you,scrambling through a world of alarms and small talk, clinging to certainty like it won’t crumble if you squeeze tight enough. But it always does. That’s when I show up. Not like a storm, not like a savior. Just… there. Quiet. Heavy. Honest. You think I’m silence? No. I’m the roar beneath it. I’m your mind when it stops trying to make sense and starts telling the truth. You only visit me when the noise gets too loud, and you need something deeper than distraction. You think you fall into me, but really, I rise up to meet you. I cradle your frantic thoughts and strip them bare. I dissolve your timeline, your job title, your to-do list. I leave behind the raw thing,the “you” without the costume. I’ve watched...

PART 2: The Great Blur — When the Blur Decides to Stay

 There’s a moment.Quiet, weightless when the blur thinks about not leaving. Not snapping you back. Not letting your name pull you out. Not watching your soul shrink-wrap itself back into the shape of “functioning adult.” It hesitates. You’ve been here so many times now. Slipping into the in-between like it’s home. And maybe… maybe it is. Because every time you come, you stay a little longer. Dig a little deeper. Peel back another layer you didn’t know you were hiding under. And this time? This time, you didn’t flinch. You didn’t fight the stillness. You didn’t reach for your phone or try to ground yourself with meaningless noise. You just… let go. Let the thoughts stretch their legs. Let the ache in your chest become something sacred. Let your breath remind you that you’re still here even if you’re not sure where here is. So the blur lingers. Unfolds itself fully for once. Not just a flicker, but a flood. It lets you feel all of it. The grief you swallowed last spring. The joy you ...

PART 3: The Great Blur — Echoes in the Eyes

 You didn’t say anything. Not about the shift. Not about the stillness that followed. Not about the part of the blur you brought back like a feather tucked in your pocket from some dream-forest no one else can see. But people noticed. Not in the obvious way. You still showed up. You still smiled. You still laughed at the right jokes, nodded at the right moments, answered the emails and refilled the coffee and existed the way everyone expects you to. But something in your eyes gave you away. Softer. Slower. Like you weren’t looking at things anymore, but through them. A friend tilted their head, squinted at you mid-conversation, and said, “You okay? You seem… different.” You shrugged. Half-laughed. “Yeah, just tired.” But that wasn’t it. Not really. Tired is too small a word for what you are now. You’re worn in. Like your soul got stretched into something more spacious. Like silence left fingerprints on your bones. Strangers feel it, too. They linger on you a beat too long, like the...
