What if you were my lost friend? A tale of hope and emotions!

Hello you!
I hope everything is good at your end!
So as the main reason why I started blogging was to spread optimism and the need of strong faith and hope so it was only right that I discussed a little tale of hope and emotions with you. 
Very peculiar things happen sometimes and leave you in a really weird sort of thinking zone where you are left thinking that it happened because it was bound to happen this way. Similar was the case with me when someone came across my blog months ago and thought that I was his long lost friend because we share the same name, same writing style or whatnot so he messaged me thinking that I am her and now is what I really would want to address because being the sort of person who has been through a loss of a friend, a childhood friend, 2ish years ago and also a sort person who has faith strongest than the strongest thing that ever existed as I say, it felt really weird to see someone as similar. So I could see it through texts the hope that he had that he must have gathered before texting me, it was evident and to be honest I really felt gutted that his hopes weren't fulfilled because obviously I wasn't her. You know there is this thing when your hope breaks a drastic change takes place, it could be positive as it can make you believe more and that only happens when you really have a strong faith and a everything-happens-for-a-reason kinda mindset,or a negative one that people lose their hope and faith so when I thought of replying I was only thinking of the consequences of my reply because obviously I didn't want him to feel dejected by his faith and hope so I was in a sort of a denial. But I myself hoped for the better and replied and you know what I was impressed by his faith and hope not getting wounded by that because he was also a sort of really optimistic person and that felt really relieving and it was a gooden. I really would want to quote his words here which he said later on but I think they are so up my street and I liked them a lot so they goes like 'No, I wasn't strong enough, but Allah is so merciful that he has given me the strength to face all this. Actually he is so merciful to all human and has given us strength and courage to face all circumstances. we just have to find out those strengths'. These words felt like something I believe in so much so it was really good to hear such words from him and I knew that he took that very positively and so I was satisfied. These words should be understood by everyone, I know we believe in them but we don't really imply them in our life and we should just sit back and tell ourselves to fully understand this whole thing. So we just had a small chinwag and that was all and I said that I would really pray that she comes back so as I always say 'everything happens for a reason' , guess what happened he found her pretty soon after our chat and was so thankful that he found me and I prayed for him and because of that he found her and all, obviously that's not how it is but it just happened like this  because of his faith and hope and for him to not lose his hope that was beginning to fade with the passage of time but I am so grateful that it didn't happen and he was genuinely a really strong, faithful and hopeful person and with a hint of hope that I gave him, things worked out for him and that is what the beauty of faith is, that is why I stress on it so much always.  We don't know each other personally  but we both learned some bits from each other which both of us will always remember, it was a positive healthy small conversation that we had and you just learn from people every day and its good to know that very positive and hopeful are still out there when you see so much hopelessness around so its good to see someone like him. 
Two of the things are my motto for life one of them is 'everything happens for a reason and second 'faith can get you everywhere'! Honestly these two things are so true and our amazing to be lived by. Make them part of your life and see how things turns out to be on your way!
Always have a strong faith and believe in what you think, believe in yourself and your prayers. Faith is one heck of an amazing thing and for me its gets stronger and stronger every day. 
Whatever happens to you think of a fair few good possibilities of why that possibly happened and believe me you will always find a reason, a good one for sure!
So yeah thats that I hope that It would leave a mark on people that how faith can do wonders.

See you in my next post!

Why are we 'always' on the phone!?

Hey Everyone!!
I hope everything is good at your end!
A while back I finished reading a novel trilogy by the one and only Zoe Sugg and when I ended the last part ' Girl online going solo', I was amazed by the end. 



It has a very strong message and the answer to the misconception of us teens being on the phone all the time. I wont spoil it by giving away the exact scene, it was a very beautiful ending indeed, but the message is what I am going to talk about.
I know there are drawbacks of using the phone and some people aren't using it for all the good things yet the bad things but the majority of the people especially the teenagers are using it for various good and important things which are not only for the sake of recreation. 

  • We study!
These days because of all the technology advancement and all that, we have to do much of our study by using our phones. We are on different websites learning about things related to our college/ university subjects. We have our notes and slides whatsapped to us by are teachers. We have to connect with our class to stay updated on all the things, the classes and the schedules. Because of google, all our problems and queries are handed to it and we get answers in a jiffy. So the sole reason for the use of cell phones is this I believe but obviously people don't believe it,they think we are wasting time or whatnot but sometimes we actually are being productive while being on the phone. The emphasis on the word 'sometimes':). We are making notes on our phones which is a bit meh because the essence of making notes on a notebook with a pen is just very therapeutic in my opinion. But still the point is that we have notes and to do lists in our phones all the time and we are catching up on them. So yeah we study on our phones that's why you see us having our phones in our hands a lot especially during exam time but its thought that we are just chating away with friends but we are not we are trying to study by keeping our phone on airplane mode! We have group works and for doing that we have whatsapp groups in which we talk about the nitty-gritty details of our work and thats time taking as well.

  • We catch up with loved ones who are far away!

Another thing that we all know is that the world is becoming a global village but as much as we think of it as a bad thing sometimes but I know its good to be in contact with someone who is miles away but at the same time we feel like the distances have become so less and we talk and share so much of our lives that when we meet in person we dont have much to catch up on. This thing bothers me at times but its a very good thing at the same time and because of this we have to spend time on phone to catch up on with people who are far away and we cant meet them soon enough. Its very important to keep up with the friends and family who are living abroad or far away and you cant meet them so because of that we use face-time, whatsapp and several sites so thats take up a lot of our time and is the reason for us being on the phone. Its very important to keep up with the loved ones who dont live near us.

  • We Read!

We the readers, READ on our phone. Some read novels on it which I feel is a bit unhealthy for our brain and eyes but they do. Its the era of reading and writing online a.k.a blogging era so we read on it at least I do read a ton of blog posts on my phone similarly my brother is habitual of using 'pocket', an app that sets your favorite articles offline so you can read 'em on the go. He always does read them while he waits for me in the car so yeah that's the reason for being on the phone. 
I catch up on my favorite bloggers blog and reading takes up a lot of time as well. Blog posts are not that long so its fine to read them on the phone but try to read novels and stories in book form I would suggest because its bad for your eyesight!

  • We photograph!

We capture photos and upload them and some of the teens are earning from it and also taking a picture and editing and making it perfect requires a lot of time and effort so that is also a reason for being on phone. But its a good activity and it is such a mood lifter for a lot of people and taking pictures in not bad, its good and its also comes under the category of being productive but if you are taking selfies of yourself on your phone then that's not that healthy I believe, that's a waste of time so that's that if you are doing that then that's not being productive:)

  • We work!
People are working from home a lot these days and its not considered a proper job but it is and it takes up as much time as a 'normal' job does so for that purpose you have to be on your phone a lot doing emails and messages and contracts and all that which is being productive! A lot of teenagers or young adults are also doing online proper jobs which is very nice so doing that requires a lot of phones involvement!

There are so many good things that we are doing while we are on the phone but its bad too so we should try to restrict our hours of using it for sure. And just try to take good use of it, it has so many effective impacts on us if used well! 
Everything has advantages and disadvantages but most of the time we count the disadvantages more and advantages less. Also it is our responsibility to use things for the good and not for waste of time.
So yeah just had a random thought few minutes ago while sorting out my novels so I wanted to share it 
thanks for reading
See you in the next post till the be positive, have faith and be strong!
Bye!
