Limbo..

Welcome Welcome Welcome Beautiful!

Let us talk about "us" today. Us as in We, the Teenagers.

If you're a grown up reading this, you better take notes as one day you'll have a teenager too, and that moment you would not think of your time when you were a teenager yourself.

And if you're a little kiddo here, welcome sweety, do not be afraid, its the most precious age and you'll create memories you won't ever forget so, BE EXCITED!

As you guys know I am a teenager myself, and yes I too have gone and go through all those emotion drives. They're insane, aren't they?

An year ago I started watching The Vampire Diaries, and honestly if you've seen that, you'd relate, being a teenager is almost the same as being a vampire lol. All of your emotions are heightened, all you crave for is love, attention, FOOD and fun, and this is the time when we're most pressurised for our career and studies, of course, that's utmost important.

I have a friend of mine which I swear to lord is hard to find. She's the wisest girl I've met out of all the wanna-be-cool children. Well, won't blame her, she's the elder child of the house after all xd. It's seriously not a cliche you guys! I've seen in most of the cases that the elder child IS undoubtedly wiser. I am the youngest though :) Ya so sticking to the topic. She once called me out of nowhere and said,

"yaar mujhe kuch ho rha hai, I dont know mai extreme moody ho rhi hu, either I'm being too happy or too frustrated."

~"babe something's wrong with me, I'm getting extremely moody these days, either I'm being too happy or too frustrated."

I laughed a lot initially, but I knew it's genuine and it does happen to all of us. Out of nowhere a weekly drive hits us where we do not feel comfortable with our emotions. The hormones are released in such a way that we get anxious, depressed and panicked too quickly.

It is nothing to worry about.

All you should do in such a position is calm yourself down, take deep breaths, go for an unaccompanied walk in the evening, play your favourite music and sometimes just go as per you mood too.

There are situations when all you'll crave for is love to be given. You would want to throw unnecessary tantrums while expecting unconditional love in return. I too often face this. While you're in such a mood, try talking your emotions to your parents. I know it is hard for some, but I swear, once you'll start reaching out to them on such topics, you'd never turn back. My parents have been open about everything from the very beginning, and I believe that the half reason of my sanity is this. I am an Aries lol, I crave love and attention more than anything in this world.

If you are not comfortable talking to your own parents, then try reaching out to your sole friend or maybe your girlfriend/boyfriend, basically whom you can rely upon with your sorrows.

The main point is to talk things out. During this pandemic, the most common thing I've heard people going through is overthinking and anxiety just because they could not sound-off their emotions to friends and acquaintances, and believe me CHILDREN OF THIS AGE HAS A LOT ON THEIR MIND TO THINK OF.

There are the studies they have to ponder about, they've got friends/family's issues, maybe some relationship complications and what not.

Try being a shoulder to someone else who is in a position in which you too can/will be one day.

"Teenage years are a limbo. You're somewhere in between being a kid and an adult, and the world tells you to be mature and express yourself, but the minute that you do, it tells you to shut up. The thing is adults are just scared kids who were lucky enough to make it out of limbo ALIVE." ~ Chemical Hearts

You will want to give up, you'll be exhausted, but that is the only thing you DONT have to do! You need to gather up all the energy, all the vigour inside of you and fight through everything.

It is indeed difficult, but there's a way out of every problem.

"When one door closes, another opens up for sure." ~ My Mom

This wording mentioned right above, has taught me alot, and I believe in it blindly after passing through a number of hurdles in my life.

I too gave up a lot many times. It was my parents who held me through. They are and have been the biggest supporters and yours are too. Believe and trust them. That is what you need in this age you guys.

And for you adults there reading this, make your child trust you. Do not make them regret sharing their personal life. Be supportive. I don't say you to support them even if they're wrong, it is your job to correct them BUT! there's a way to do that too! We want someone to sit with us, talk it out and correct us WITH PATIENCE. Deep in we teenager's know that there is something wrong in what we did, all we need is someone to make us REALISE that. And I swear, being in that position, only LOVE can help us out.

Hold on to positivity, never take any decision while you're too happy, too sad or too angry, believe me THEY TURN OUT TO BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKES WHICH YOU REGRET UPON LATER.

Have hopes but not expectations.

You must have heard this before,

"It's the expectations that hurt us, not the people."

It is literal, and the sooner you understand, the better and easier your life will be.
