Good things happen when you least expect them

I'm sure you'd agree with me that sometimes good things happen when you actually expect them the least. Then why is it that when things don't go as planned we overthink about what could have beens or sit and sulk about it. Think about the moments when something wonderful happens not because you planned it but because life has its own way with things.


Recently I was feeling quite low having an emotional imbalance ,didn't want to talk to anyone and just distancing myself. I was thinking within my thoughts that others actually don't really care the same way you care for them. It was at this exact moment that I received an unexpected text from someone on instagram whom I never spoke to before, but just followed each other since we had a mutual friend.





So apparently she saw my likes on some sad reels and reached out to me. At that moment 

I thought to myself, “Aww this person is so sweet, would I have done the same thing? To my friends surely yes and it goes without saying but to a random person maybe not really”. 


I replied to her saying that I was fine and how I appreciated her concern which I genuinely did. After that we started talking and I made a new friend. Totally unexpected at the unexpected time. This whole scene completely changed my mood that day.

Fun fact, she texted me when she herself was going through some stuff as well, which melted my heart and made me feel like she has to be the sweetest soul I met this year. The very fact that she reached out to me without caring much whether I would positively reply to her text but that she'd at least try meant a lot to me. 

Maybe if I wasn't feeling low at that time I wouldn't have appreciated her concern. I would have probably not even replied to her text thinking that I don't want a random person's sympathy and interrupting my space. And that changed my whole mindset, that you need to keep your mind and heart open at all times.

 When we stop trying to control everything and let go of strict expectations, we make space for the unexpected. This doesn’t mean giving up on dreams or goals. It simply means trusting that good things can happen in their own time, sometimes in ways we never imagined.

Surprises like these also teach us valuable lessons. They remind us to stay hopeful, even during tough times. Life can feel challenging, but it’s often in those moments that something amazing comes along.

We need to stop focusing so much on the endpoint of the destination that we dont enjoy the journey. Slowing down and enjoying the journey is what will give life meaning. 

The beauty of life’s surprises is that they keep us curious and grateful. They remind us that not everything needs to be predicted or planned out. Sometimes, the most magical moments happen when we’re just going about our day, and be open to whatever comes our way.

So keep your heart and mind open. Good things are out there, waiting to find you when you least expect them, filling your life with a sense of wonder and happiness.


Thanks for reading!!

See you next time

With love,
Misty

get to know me(not more than this )

My name is Misty Goes.  To be very honest I actually don't like my name and there are reasons why. Firstly being such a simple and easy name people still pronounce my name wrong. Mind you my name is spelt as M-I-S-T-Y there's no H and I'm not Bengali neither am I named after Mishti Dohi. I'm not named after the fog or mist or anything and hence my username(might change my username later). Also my surname is pronounced as Go-ehz and not the literal 'goes' so don't ask me where I go, cause I get those lame dad jokes a lot.  I'm finally 18 years old which felt like forever to actually be of legal age. I enjoy spending time with friends. In my free time I like to listen to music or just binge watch movies. Growing up with my elder cousin sister and a younger brother I was always treated as the middle child even though I'm the eldest. Personality wise I have traits of the middle child like being easy going, always being rebellious, being less perfectionis...

Thinking positive

 "Think positive" is more than just some motto or feel-good mantra. it's a powerful mindset that can transform our lives. Positive thinking involves focusing on the good in any situation. When we approach challenges with a positive attitude, we are more likely to find solutions and overcome those situations. My teacher once told my class that it's important to have control over our thoughts and that whatever we think in a way affects our reality. She also said those thoughts then become our spoken words which then ultimately occurs in real time emphasising the value of our thoughts. Shoutout to Ms. Merle for telling us this. Though previously I used to always tell my friends that "Positive thinking equals positive outcomes'' but being an overthinker wouldnt actually truly follow it myself...but eversince ma'am told us about how our thoughts affects our reality it's become a practice to keep my thoughts clean and positive. So everytime now if I...
