FRIENDSHIP

-

 My name is Aayush. I come from Balkhu, Kathmandu. I was born in a regular middle-class Nepalese family. My father is a civil engineer, which has inspired me to become something great despite of my rough full past. 

I didn’t want to live in a crowded city, so I chose Damak. Flying to Damak alone and starting a new life in a totally different place was a really huge challenge for me at first but now everything is much better. Adjusting to listening the language takes time and sometimes I missed my family and friends in Kathmandu a lot.

At The College, I have a number of great friends who I get along well with. They are from different places  including Ilam, Biratnagar,Kathmandu  . Many of them are my classmates and others I met in the common room, the Social Club or through mutual friends. Even though we’re from different places with distinct cultures, we understand and respect each other. In class, whenever someone has difficulty studying, everyone is kind and offers to help.

We have lunch together in the common room and talk about our own hometowns. It is really nice to get to know about different cultures. We often talk about what’s happening in different places. When there is an event held by the Social Club at the College, my friends and I will help to organise things. We work, we laugh and we all enjoy ourselves during every event. With my  friends, we usually go to different places to have different food to relieve our homesickness.

I  won't definitely stay friends with these people beyond the College. The times with friends are the most precious memories for me in Damak. Even though I will also make new friends, I won’t forget my old friends. That’s friendship.

 Being alone isn’t a bad thing. It’s a good, necessary, healthy thing. It’s a time to reflect, to appreciate, to think, to create, to process your life. Reflection and synthesis of ideas are crucial to learning and growing, and for many people, this can only be done when they are alone. Kierkegaard nails this with one of my favourite quotes: “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” Damn, Kierkegaard, I bet you spent a ton of time alone. So why are we so damned afraid of being alone? Because we’re afraid others will think we’re lonely. There’s something wrong with lonely people, or else why wouldn’t they have people around them? There must be something broken about them! If you learn someone is lonely, you best stay away from them. Leave them to their cats. Loneliness results in more loneliness; it’s a beast that feeds itself. (Please know that I don’t believe any of this — or at least I don’t want to, but these are thoughts that I hear in my head beca...

Is this love?

  Think about this for a moment: Why would you ever choose to be with someone who is not excited to be with you? There’s a grey area in dating many people get hung up on — a grey area where feelings are ambiguous or one person has stronger feelings than the other. This grey area causes real, tangible issues. “She said she’s not interested, but she still flirts with me, so what do I need to do to get her?” “Well, I know she likes me, but she didn’t call me back last weekend, what should I do?” “He treats me well when he’s around, but he’s hardly around. What does that mean?” Most dating advice exists to “solve” this grey area for people. Say this line. Text her this. Call him this many times. Wear that. Much of it gets exceedingly analytical, to the point where some men and women actually spend more time analyzing behaviors than actually, you know, behaving. Frustration with this grey area also drives many people to unnecessary manipulation, drama and game-playing — like “forgetting...

Loneliness

          Loneliness is a complication. New town, New Job, depression, social anxiety, low self-esteem, no friend, sometimes it's none of those things & sometimes it's all of them. Sometimes it's brief, sometimes it's more long-lasting. Sometimes it makes sense why & sometimes it doesn't make any sense at all.       There might be a simple solution for some, while for others there is not. You can see why it's so complication, just like with most thing there is no single common cause or cure. Nor is there a clear definition because how could we possibly define any element of something so abstract. If we look at the term loneliness online the first things that pop up is sadness because one has no friend or company. I wouldn't say that entirely true. It wasn't in my case at least.     For me, it was actually around the time when I was surrounded by people almost constantly, very rarely was I not accompanied by others, althoug...
