Heys

Heys is a collection of my letters I send to myself. It's a way for me to step out of me and reflect on me, and life.

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

Akash, I’m sitting here sipping coffee early in the morning at this coffee shop and you what I notice? I see lot of people just driving by in their motorbike with their dogs. Some sitting on their laps, some on the the footrest, some with multiple dogs. Everyone going for a walk at the beach I presume. And it strikes that me how dogs give their humans a sense of purpose in a way. Now they’ve someone to look up and take care of. A reason to get up early in the morning. And in a way, dogs get a sense of purpose too. To take care of their human counterparts. It is codependent in a way. I see that and I’m like I need my dog. I mean, I need a purpose. Something to look up to. And maybe it doesn’t have to be grander you know.

Thanks, have a beautiful day
Akash

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

Akash, you’ve a certain way of looking at world. But not everyone looks at the world the same way. And when you stop to consider all these different world views, you’ll really get a better understanding of how you look at the world. You’ll iron out your beliefs, values and systems. So keep a open mind and go talk to people!

Thanks, have a beautiful day,
Akash

Hey Akash, how are you doing today ?

You know it’s very hard to see clearly when the things are muddy. Duh. But it’s hard to realize that when you’re in that muddy situation. It’s obvious only in hindsight. So sometimes you need to learn to trust your instincts and not what you’re seeing in front of you. Because what’s in front of you is really muddy. It’s like how a pilots trusts the readings on their computer to make the decisions rather than from the window because it’s a storm outside. You’re the pilot, and the computer is your instinct.

Have a good day man

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

You can’t solve a problem you don’t know/understand. So, you’ve got to define your problem clearly and precisely. You’ve got to know the inns and outs of the problem. Only then can you begin to solve it. Define your problem man.

Have a lovely day,
Akash

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

Self Respect. You’ve got to earn your respect. You do that by doing things that deem worthy of your own respect. Write those things down and make it your #1 priority to work on them. Literally every other thing just comes later.

Have a beautiful day,
Akash

P.S. You do not have to succeed in any of those respect worthy things. But you do have to try. Give your all.

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

I don’t know what to talk to you about today but I still want to talk to you, you know. I feel like, sometimes you don’t need to talk at all. Just being there and sitting with them in silence, in peace, is enough. Sometimes that’s all you need.

Have a beautiful weekend

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

When you hang out with people you don’t vibe with, you waste a lot of energy. Yours and theirs. You need to learn to say no. It might seem like that you’re doing a disservice to them by saying no, but it’s actually the opposite. You see, when you say yes to something you didn’t mean to, you’re already not there. And by saying yes, you’re actually doing a disservice to everyone involved.

Have a beautiful day,

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

You know what I’m thinking about? Neediness. It rubs off the wrong way. Especially when it’s implied neediness rather than explicit. Because it makes people think that you have some hidden agenda. Makes you distrustful and a cheat. At the end of the day, there’s nothing outside of you that can get you peace, which ultimately I believe is what you want. Think about it.

Have a beautiful day,
Akash

P.S. Think about the implicit neediness from you, towards you.

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

The sun always brings the good in you. And night, the dark in you. Thing however is, the dark part is lot creative. So, you need to learn to play with fire without getting burnt. It’s going to be very risky, but rewarding. And you’ve always been fighting with it which has led you nowhere. I want you try the opposite. I want you to befriend the devil in you.

Have a sunny day,
Akash

Hi Akash, how are you doing today?

You know what’s on my mind lately? It’s that thoughts are just that, thoughts. They’re not you. And more importantly, when you get emotional about them, that is when you give power to them. They’ll come and go as they please. You need to learn to just observe them. Like, how a scientist observes their subject.

Have a beautiful day,
Akash
