This phase of life after turning 20 feels heavier than I ever imagined. It’s not just about growing up. It’s about suddenly feeling responsible for everything... 💭 Questions keep running through my mind. What job should I do? Should I start my own business? Or should I just take a small job and continue studying? 😣😑 Sometimes, the questions go even further. Should I think about marriage? Or should I leave everything behind and just enjoy life on my own? 😐💬 It feels like being stuck in the middle of a thousand unanswered questions, not knowing which path is right and which one is not... 💫💬 While my mind is filled with all these thoughts, life feels heavy in another way too. Every step forward comes with a silent pressure... 😓💔 I know that whenever I chase my dreams, my parents will always stand beside me. But at the same time, when I see them slowly growing older, a deep pain rises within my heart… 👪💔 I feel caught between two worlds building my future and protecting my paren...

In every stage of life, we collected memories, some unforgettable memories They quietly settle in our hearts, waiting for the right moment to come alive again... 💘💬 Today, a simple thing brought back one of those memories. My mother came home with some Olive pickle, and just one look at it took me years back into my childhood... 🥹🫒 I must have been around eight years old back then. Growing up with my three brothers meant life was always full of noise, laughter, and a little bit of mischief... 👪💕 One day, the four of us sneaked into the neighboring garden. There was an olive tree, and without thinking twice, we started picking the fruits. I couldn’t climb the tree, so I gathered the fallen ones from the ground.... 🫒💫 We brought everything home and built a small wood stove  in the yard. With a big pot, we boiled those olives and turned them into our own homemade pickle. It wasn’t perfect, but to us, it tasted like the best thing in the world... 🫒🍴 There was a big tree ...

In all of our lives, there is always that one song, the one we love the most, the one that brings back memories we never forget... 💫🎀 In my life too, there is such a deeply emotional and beautiful song. It is “Oba Apple Malak Wage” by Amarasiri Peiris 🍎💗.  It’s a song I’ve listened to countless times, a song that feels so close to my heart... 💭💞 At one point in my life, my first love sang this song to me in his own voice. And somehow, he made me feel like I belonged to that song... 😭💝 He used to tell me that I was like an apple blossom in his life. A flower that blooms only during a beautiful spring rare, delicate, and not easily found... 🥹💘 To him, I wasn’t someone ordinary. He always said I was like a rare flower; someone not easily found in this world... 💫💝 I was the apple blossom that suddenly appeared in his life during a beautiful spring. I was the warmth that lit up his world... 🔥💖 And whenever he looked at me, especially my eyes, he would softly hum that song…...

Sometimes in life, a simple button like " Block " carries emotions that are much heavier than people imagine. 💬 Most of the time, we block someone because we no longer want any connection with them. It feels like the easiest way to create distance. 💫 But not every block comes from hatred or anger. 💔 Sometimes we do it because we simply don't know what else to do.... Blocking someone you truly love is never an easy decision. It is not always because you stopped caring about them. 💫 Sometimes it happens because you cannot express your feelings to that person anymore. Silence becomes the only way to protect your heart. 💫 The hardest part is knowing that you had to hide your feelings from the very person you once cared about the most. That kind of silence can feel like a quiet madness inside the mind... 💬 And even though the option to unblock is always there, you choose not to press it again.... 💬 Not because you forgot them... but because you know that looking back wi...

Do you know? Sharing your life with someone you love is always a risk.... Loving someone deeply and choosing to build a life together means you are willing to take that risk and not everyone is brave enough to do that. 💭💝  To take a such a risk, a person needs to have personality. They need to know who they are and have a strong sense of confidence in themselves. 💝 But personality does not appear overnight. It grows from confidence and confidence begins when you truly understand who you are.... 💖 Before giving your life to someone else, you must first know yourself-your values, your limits, your dreams, and your worth.... 💫 Only people who carry that self-awareness and confidence can truly find someone who matches them both physically and mentally. Someone who respects the life they have built. 💗 Otherwise, what happens is painful. The beautiful life you carefully created for yourself slowly starts slipping away, shaped by someone else's expectations.... 💖💫 Your life is so...

At the right time, we should learn to recognize the unnecessary characters who enter our lives and let them go...... Because not everyone who comes into our lives adds value to our journey. Some people may smile and seem close but still become a burden to the heart and disturb the peace of the mind. Such characters can change a person's entire life journey in just a moment.... 👥💬 It is not important to say that they are bad people. What truly matters is being able to understand that they are unnecessary in our lives... 💝💫 Never allow anyone to steal your smile, 😀 Drain your energy, 💪 or take away your happiness from you... 😇💖 Don't give anyone the power to control or change your life. Because this is your life.  You are the one who should decide your own path. 💭💕 We must move forward, 💫 With love, 💝 With calmness, 😇 and with people who truly understand us... 🫂 And the rest ？ Yes.... let them go quietly, without any hatred. 💖💫 That is not a loss. That is self - r...

The most beautiful feeling that comes with youth, the one that fills life with unforgettable memories, is the feeling of first love... 💖 Even though my first love is no longer by my side, both of us still carry a collection of memories that can be remembered even today... 💝 My first experience of love began about three or four months before my Ordinary Level examination. We carried that love forward for nearly four years, facing many struggles and obstacles along the way. But destiny never allowed us too truly belong to each other.... 👬💕 Even now, I find myself standing alone beside a love that is mine, yet not mine. I love him so deeply that whenever someone asks me to be with them, I compare them to his behavior and qualities and end up rejecting every love story that comes my way. I know this is not something I should do, but all I can do is allow my heart to feel what it feels in those moments.... 💔💭 Every moment I spent with him was precious and beautiful. Among countless me...

There comes a time in life when you slowly realize that living is the hardest part. Not dying, not giving up - but simply continuing to exist while carrying everything inside you. 💫 It was a time the many problems in my mind made me feel helpless. Thoughts that stole my sleep surrounded me, and I found myself hoping for help even from people who were never really close to me. ☺ Then come more questions. What will they think of me? Am I being a burden? Will they understand me or judge me? One question turns into many, and the mind feels louder than the world itself. Choosing to live through difficulty is not easy. But choosing to give up is not something me heart allows me to do. Even when my hands shake, something within me still holds me together. My trembling hands still hold on to me, and my mind stands up for my body every single moment. That quiet strength is what gives me the courage to keep living. 💬😣  I carry everything the best way I can. I remind myself of the people w...
