- What Remains After Words.
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
To myself, I say that I need to act towards people how I would act to myself. I need to act and, give out the same energy, same reactions, actions that i’d show to myself. I see and, act accordingly to people the same way i’d to myself cause’ I see them as my reflection.
Oftentimes, I whisper to myself how boldly I embody a lot of what feels right; the love, the kind heart, the softness, the quiet act of understanding, the relentless pursuit to keep myself close to the right energy. And, it would be painful if these don’t reflect back onto others.
How I would feel afterwards that I made someone hurt through my words, my actions, or how I made someone feel lesser of themselves. Or, the sudden ache they receive when my presence overshadows them – the sudden burst of shock, or of despise.
All these I have refused to embody; cause’ what’s the joy you get from seeing someone drown in regrets of your own wrong doings ? Or, the wrong impact you’ve had to only show in their life. It will be visibly bad, if you turn up for yourself and, forsake yourself of good doings to others.
Showing outwardly for others or even strangers is not “People Pleasing”. It’s far beyond that; it’s simply of returning humanity a favor which you were blessed with. It’s the quiet favor you do to humanity – to the people you relate with, the people you cross paths in life, that strangers in the bus, that fellow that had only occupied himself with sadness.
I act rightly to others how I would act to myself; the willingness to help, the smiles I express to others jokes, the attention I paid heed to when they speak, the act of gifting to express gratitude, the little hugs & shrugs, the being there for them to lighten up the ambience.
I understand if you’ve done all these and, yet get worse in return but, that shouldn’t kill how good of a person you are. You shouldn’t drop that good heart you’ve always got. Don’t void yourself of that happiness that comes within from helping others cause’ of someone else’s mistakes.
I’ve learned never to suppress the heart that showed kindness out of sheer willingness cause’ of someone else’s flaws cause’ we as humans are oblivious to know the people we made smile, what they talked about, or how they wish to be us.
… And, I hope people are incredibly happy at the sight of you, reciprocate and, act rightly towards what you’ve shown to them.

- The Day I Handed My Fear The MIC.
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
It’s the season of festivities and, my scenery right now is so void of that sensation; it feels like nothing of festivities at all. Every angle of my scenery doesn’t speak loudly of the fact that, something too exciting is imminent. It’s so dull.
Public speaking has always not been my thing; it’s always been kept at arm’s length like we’re long time foes. I honestly don’t fancy public speaking cause’ i’m such a shy person. I run away from any chance to stand at the front of a large crowd.
It feels almost as if the eyes of everyone will devour me or are anticipating to have me as their prey – every time, I stand at the front of a big crowd, I reek of stage fright.
I get really anxious and, my heart starts pumping more unusually at a rate i’m not used to. My feet become cold and, all i’d think about is leaving that place immediately.
But, not too long, a year ago, something happened. I stood amongst a large class and gave a speech so confidently that, I felt so indifferent of the other speakers – And, everyone was in awe and, applauded me.
It was exactly the day of my school presentation. I hadn’t foresaw it that I will be the one to present alongside a mate of mine. The invitation came like a thief at night and, evenly I couldn’t tell if it came with woes or with pure bliss.
But still, I accepted the impromptu invitation and, I prepared ahead of the presentation; I read so much and, studied a lot like I was going to win a lottery. But, it was just honestly for a day presentation.
The day of presentation had finally arrived and, I was hoping my group wouldn’t be called to present first but, guess what ? We were the first group to present – Being the first group to present at school presentation was really a headache and, one will always consider themselves unlucky.
Eventually, my mate and I approached the stage and, stood at the front of the class and, immediately, we were asked to present; she was the first speaker fortunately. I had literally decided to be the second speaker – at Least, get a breath before presenting.
Prior to the presentation, the group leader had opted to give me a paper to use to present but, it was so unlike me and, would have proved my preparedness as a waste – I love challenging myself and, so I took on myself to present from off heart.
Eventually, it got my turn and, I did brilliantly well as I read from my heart and, all my coursemates started wondering how I did it. At that moment, I don’t know what had gotten into me but, it was so composed and, stage freight itself was scared of me.
I got applauded so loudly and, everyone just stared amazed at what had happened. But, I felt so calm even as the scene had people looking at me. The immediate groups came forward after and, tried replicating what I had done but, no one could read without their papers.
I felt so much aura and unique. After the presentation, the lecturer complimented me and, even my coursemates had enjoyed what i had pulled up my sleeves at the presentation on stage.
Since then, I have become famously known in my department. And, it still feels so warmer and good till this day.
