2021-A Thrilling Escapade

-

 HEY EVERYONE!

WELCOME BACK TO THE LAST POST OF THE YEAR!!

2021 has been one of the most enthralling year for the 'Damselz-in-Sanity's family. 

Today's post is based on the biggest milestone's we have achieved over this year- every month!

Without further ado, let's get to it :)

JANUARY

A low-key month, starting off with the year. Gradually gaining a lot of popularity and audience midway, and publishing my very own pieces of photography.
Best post of the month: Aeipathy

FEBRUARY

Things took off. 
All of the posts went viral and brought in SO MANY new readers. My dm's were flooded with praises of all of the post-cried at most of them cause they were so sweet-knew that my posts started to influence people in the positive way and, published my very first poem.
Best post of the month: Procrastination

MARCH

A small bump in a highway of success.
Though a lot of popularity as compared to the previous month wasn't gained, it marked the end of hiccups. Why? Keep reading and you'll get your answer :)
  Best post of the month: Benefits of Crying

 APRIL

BOOM.
Literally BOOM. 
All of them. 
One of the most successful months so far. We crossed over 400+ new readers just that month and all the posts went viral. I had the opportunity to take my very first interview this month and boy was it a success. So many people congratulating me, sharing my posts and what not! An incredible month indeed.
Best post of the month: Surprise!!

MAY

Amazing month again-had an unexpected(not kidding) post go SUPER viral. Most of it was based on Anxiety and the #faltufriday was just WOW. Never knew my immense love for Bollywood films would be so common!

Best post of the month: My Love For Bollywood

JUNE

I honestly have no words to describe this month-all of them fall short. It was THE MOST AMAZING month EVER. All the posts: VIRAL. My dm's: FLOODED. The love and reach: UNCOUNTABLE(600+???) The most unexpected yet BEST month of blogging: June, 2021. A smol victory: WE GOT VERIFIED BY GOOGLE!

    Best post of the month: Mental Struggles Of The LGBTQ+ Community

JULY

As good as it gets.

Viral, viral, VIRALLLL.

YES. 

Posted another-one could say prequel-poem on my blog-response to which was MASSIVE! We hit a milestone of crossing over 5000+ global readers too!

A thrilling month, but little did I know what awaited me.

Best post of the month: What's Causing So Much Anxiety in Students?

AUGUST

ONE YEAR.

August 2021, marked one year of Blogging and by far the most happening month of the year. I was fortunate to get interviewed for the very first time. Tons of activities through the month made it stand at number 2 of the most happening months of the year! The #faltufriday of that month was something I should have done at the beginning of my blogging journey but ironically the most engaging post of that month!

Best post of the month: HAPPY ONE YEAR!!

SEPTEMBER

Another great month!

Throwing light on some unspoken issues, this month gathered most of its popularity through it. Most of it was spent preparing for something even better. Flooded dm's, yet again-only for the next month to get 10x.

Best post of the month: Bullying-Does It Still Exist?

OCTOBER

MY VERY FIRST COLLAB! What an amazing experience! Throughout the week of World Mental Health Day, the team I had partnered up with and I organised loads of fun activities. In less than 3 days of the month, we hit a milestone of crossing 6000+ readers! An amazing month indeed; to add to that, pretty tough competition for the spot of the best post of the month.

Best post of the month: Queen of Silly mistakes and Journaling 

NOVEMBER

The awareness month.

All of the posts were based on Eating Disorders inspired from recent activity that took place in front of me. 

Best post of the month: The Glorification Of Eating Disorders

DECEMBER

A crazy journey with a happy ending. As we enter into the new year of 2022, I don't think 2021 would want us to end in a distorted manner. An incredible month after all-most of the posts: viral again! Crazy amounts of support filled in my dm's coupled with some unique ideas that struck my mind(dw you'll know soon)

Best post of the month: The Pressure to be "Perfect"

That was it for today's post! You can also check out the posts for each month under the archive section on my page.

Thank you all so so much to everyone who have supported me through this year. Couldn't have reached here without y'all.  

Comment down which month you guys first came across my blog and your favourite month below! Here's to another great year ahead :)

Wishing all of you a prosperous and great year ahead,

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

The Broken Hot Chocolate Machine

 I've been in college for about over a month now. In the 40 days I've spent here, I've visited the food hall over 100 times - of which the Hot chocolate machine has been broken for over 90. Bombay's humidity was quickly replaced by Boston's "Fall" (it's winter guys) and the only thing helping me through the transition was a cup of hot chocolate every morning. But about 2 weeks in, the hot chocolate machine broke.       Initially, a piece of paper, closely stuck by tape, lay pressed against the machine: " Hot Chocolate Machine is Broken! "  4 weeks in, it's now a laminated sheet of paper, carefully stuck to the machine. Someone took the time to type it out onto a computer, print it, cut it, have it laminated, and stick it up to the machine. Do you know what they could be doing in that time? (Hint: getting the machine fixed!) This post is not about the machine. (Obviously Kuhu, it's a Mental Health blog - get to the point!) We often pro

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Is a Fresh Start Always the Best Thing?

-
Image
 Before starting Junior year, I pledged to myself that I would make it "my year." I would study super hard, I'd make a million friends, and I'd come under the teacher's radar. Jump to September 2022,  I was burnt out. Walking back home with earphones plugged in, I remembered the first line of this post. And then I also realised how incredibly stupid it was of me to think I could ever accomplish it. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't stupid because it was unattainable; it was stupid because it was unsustainable. Many a time, when we wish to just give up everything and "move on" ( start completely fresh), we tend to forget our past and our learnings from it. That is (one of) the biggest mistake we as humans make. Rather than acknowledging a fact, we tend to ignore it and act like nothing happened because after all, Ignorance is Bliss, na? A fresh start shouldn't mean giving up your whole life in pursuit of something new. A fresh start is when yo
