them to be and after all, overthinking won’t make a difference to what is bound to happen, what is to
happen will happen.

stuff that once meant the world to them. Amid the ongoing race to acquire more and more materialistic
pleasures, it is to be understood that there is no harm in having a hobby and enjoying what brings
intrinsic pleasure and joy in one’s life.

initiating self-talks that have no benefit of their own. Communication doesn’t merely abridge the gap
but also provides a clarity over certain matters that self-talks certainly cannot.
