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 didn’t trust enough to keep.

The questions you keep shoving under your bed like emotional laundry.


And something strange happens.

You don’t break.

You don’t dissolve.


You become.


Not a new person, but a truer one. One that doesn’t need to explain everything or hold it all together. One that can sit in the unspoken and still feel whole. You stop trying to escape yourself and instead, you inhabit yourself. Fully. Softly. Without armor.


And the blur watches.


Not as a guest. Not as a fleeting visit.

But as something ancient, recognizing you as kin.


So this time, when someone calls your name… you don’t flinch.

You hear it. But it’s quieter now, like it’s echoing through a cathedral you just discovered inside your own ribcage. You blink. You look around. Life is still happening. The wall is still a wall. But something has changed.


You’ve kept a piece of the blur with you.


Worn like a secret tattoo on the inside of your mind. A reminder that the infinite is never far. That the realest parts of you don’t need to shout. They whisper. And sometimes, they stay.


Because the blur doesn’t always have to be a place you go to escape.

Sometimes, if you’re brave enough to hold it…


It becomes a place you live.

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...

Whispers that stayed.

 One day, like any other, I went on a run till the Lalbagh Botanical Garden. Running had become a sort of ritual for me a way to feel alive, to push myself, to be alone with my thoughts yet surrounded by the world. I love sunrises and sunsets, the way they slowly take over the sky, painting everything in warmth. I love the stars and the moon, the way they watch over us in silence. Nature has always felt like home to me,the lakeside, the rustling leaves, the calming roar of a waterfall. And most of all, I love people and their stories. That’s probably why I enjoy talking to people so much hearing about their lives, their triumphs, their losses. But the ironic thing? The moment someone asks about me, I go on a tangent. I distract them, lead the conversation somewhere else. Not because I don’t have stories.I have plenty but because I don’t know why I never want to "open up" that well when it's about me. It’s annoying, really. I’ve been told that. And yet, here I am, always s...

How to Outwork the Noise

 Some people chase peace like it’s a prize,others just build it inside their silence and guard it like a dragon. The world’s obsessed with being seen, but the funny thing is, the ones who actually do something worth seeing are usually too busy to wave their arms for attention. Funny how the loudest ones usually have the least to say, right? See, hard work isn’t romantic. It’s not a montage. It’s messy, ugly, repetitive. It’s the sound of you talking yourself out of quitting at 2 a.m. when your dreams look more like delusions. The people who make it aren’t magical, they’re just the ones who didn’t fold when the world got loud. Spoiler alert,there’s no background music when you’re dying inside but still grinding. Focus is rebellion. In an age where everyone’s screaming, choosing silence is almost violent. You stop feeding the noise, and the noise starts panicking. It’s hilarious. Everyone wants to know why you’re so calm, why you’re not reacting, why you’re not explaining yourself to...
