I first discovered Oliver Tree through his collaborations with Cherdleys. Back then, I was spending hours watching comedy sketches, absurd internet humor, and the kind of content that made no sense but somehow felt perfect. The videos featuring Oliver immediately stood out. He had this strange energy that was impossible to ignore. His bowl haircut, oversized clothes, and completely unpredictable personality made him look like a character from another planet. At first, I thought he was just another comedian playing a weird role. But the more I watched, the more I realized there was something different about him. Behind all the chaos, there was genuine creativity. Every appearance felt like performance art. He knew exactly how ridiculous he looked and leaned into it harder than anyone else. That curiosity eventually led me to his music. What surprised me most was how someone who could be so funny could also create songs that carried real emotion. Tracks like "Hurt" and many oth...

There are some things in life that you can prepare for, and some things you cannot. A knee injury was something I never saw coming. One moment life was moving normally, and the next I was dealing with doctor appointments, MRI reports, pain, and months of physiotherapy. It was frustrating, inconvenient, and exhausting, but it was also temporary. At no point did I believe it would affect anything beyond my physical recovery. What I didn't anticipate was how quickly assumptions can change the way people see you. Around the same time, there was a potential relationship that had been developing through an arranged marriage process. Months of conversations, family involvement, and gradual progress had created a sense that things were moving somewhere meaningful. Nothing was final, but there was enough consistency to make me believe we were heading toward something real. Then my ligament injury happened. The injury changed my routine, but it never changed my intentions. I was still the sa...

The last few months have been a whirlwind of business challenges, my knee injury, unexpected losses, and lessons I never asked for but somehow needed. Some deals didn't work out,  and a few dreams had to be put on hold. what surprised me the most wasn't the financial loss. It was realizing how losses reveal relationships. Some people stayed beside me when things got difficult. Others disappeared the moment the numbers stopped looking good. I guess that's part of the journey. The truth is, I spent so much time trying to save my business that I forgot to take care of myself and the people who genuinely cared about me. Maybe success isn't just about profits and growth charts. Maybe it's also about who remains in your corner when everything feels uncertain. I don't have all the answers right now. I only know that giving up isn't an option. So today, I'm choosing to rebuild. One step. One decision. One day at a time. "Sometimes when things are falling ap...

Six months. Six months of conversations, delays, waiting for the "right time," waiting for clarity, waiting for someone to make a decision. It is funny how an arranged marriage proposal can slowly become a part of your daily thoughts without ever actually becoming a part of your life. Every few weeks there was a new reason to wait. Busy schedules. Family discussions. Timing issues. Something else that needed to be sorted out first. I told myself patience was a virtue. Looking back, patience and hope often wear the same clothes. Then came the knee injury. A torn ligament. A few weeks on crutches. Doctor visits. Physiotherapy. Nothing life changing, just one of those unfortunate things that happen. Yet somehow it felt like the entire story shifted after that. Maybe it was the injury. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Maybe the interest was never really there. I honestly don't know anymore. What I do know is that after six months of delays, uncertainty, and trying to stay opt...

Well, Well, Well ! It's a Return of some sort a lot of things has happened but in this journal, I'll be writing about a theory called, "The Three Meeting Theory"  There is a theory called Three Meeting Theory   you meet the same soul three times, but never in the same way, The first time they're nothing just a passing face in the background of your life. The second time, it's different, There's Something there you can feel it, but the timing is actually wrong, Life pulls you apart, one of you isn't ready, maybe both and then, The third time after everything, after growth, the breaking and the healing, when you've softened in the right places and your heart no longer fears love in the same way, at This time it is quiet, you don't question it, you just listen to it and RECOGNIZE it because may be some people aren't meant to find us once, They're meant to find us when we're finally ready to stay. Thanks for Reading Prateek Gupta 3:43 P...

Procrastination is the tendency to delay or postpone important tasks or actions. It is something that most people struggle with at some point in their lives, whether it is putting off an assignment until the last minute or avoiding a difficult conversation with a loved one. While procrastination may seem like a harmless habit, it can have serious consequences in both our personal and professional lives. In this post, we will discuss the causes and effects of procrastination, as well as some strategies for overcoming this common problem. One of the main reasons why people procrastinate is due to a lack of motivation or interest in the task at hand. It can be difficult to stay focused and engaged when we are not passionate about what we are doing, leading to feelings of boredom and frustration. Additionally, some people may struggle with perfectionism, feeling like they cannot start a task until they have all the necessary information or skills to complete it perfectly. Another cause of ...

Motorcycles have always been a symbol of freedom, power, and adventure. Riding a motorcycle is an experience like no other, and it is no wonder that so many people have a profound love for them. Recently, I have found myself falling in love with motorcycles, especially my new old Hero Impulse. I had always admired that Bike from afar, but I never thought I would own one myself. However, after some research and careful consideration, I decided to take the plunge and buy an old Hero Impulse. At first, I was nervous about riding my new motorcycle. I had to learn how to balance, shift gears, and brake properly. But with practice, I began to feel more comfortable and confident on the road. Riding my motorcycle became an escape from the stresses of everyday life, and I began to look forward to every ride. One of the things I love about my Hero Impulse is how versatile it is. It's great for commuting to work, but it's also capable of tackling off-road trails. It's a small bike, so...

So, actually there is nothing new with me I've been Avoiding boredom and Avoiding accountability. How did I get here? Everything hurts. My mind is foggy as hell. I hate everyone and everything. I need to bite my tongue and save face as best I can. Avoid people. Next Month I'm off to Mumbai for a few days Drinking lots of water because the trainer said so also I don't want myself to be turning into a Junk Food eating werewolf. I cleaned my room.

Oh Hey Journal, I am so sorry that I abandoned you again !.! Seriously telling you I have spent the vast majority of the last 6 months or so, planted in my command center, working. Don’t get me wrong, that is actually a good thing. I am blessed to absolutely love my work, which tends to lead to me spending way too much time working. I am determined to find a healthy work-life balance. or Whatever that is. Does it actually exist? So, where the heck did my motivation go for actually Living life outside of work? I honestly don’t have a clue where to start. I just know that it is beyond time for me to start taking action because I am certainly not going to find whatever it is that I seem to be searching for without taking some actual steps to get out of the rut I seem to be in. “The courage and strength that you so desperately seek is right there within you. Close your eyes and feel it. It has been there all along…” - Owl City  This process is definitely going to be baby steps for me. ...

the title of this post is "post" because my mind is fed up and i don't know where I'm heading... so, where I have been ??? pretty much nowhere. just here not writing and procrastinating for months. anyway... All my lights are off. Besides my glowing Laptop, it’s nearly pitch black in my humble one bedroom. I’m wearing a DCEU Flash T-Shirt I got from free authority warehouse sales I like this t-shirt because it makes me look that I'm a fan of Flash but I am not. I am the Green Lantern fan boy from the wrong side of the tracks. My nose and hands are still cold though. It’s much quieter in my area. I’m in a tucked-in neighborhood now, far away from any busy streets. Switching to this place from my usual 3 storey cosy-flexy Home it is not saving me any money well I previously said Frugality was the new cool but Fuck That. I'm flexing, I'm content fuck it all, I am just living. As usual, I’m going to be awake and the world will sleep . It’s so quiet that I can ...

I am going to be totally honest about some of the creators on YouTube here in India. So, I used to write for some big creators in India I have written over 40 odd sketch scripts and general monologue content in 2017 and 2018 for different Youtubers here, first up they seem totally nice when you watch them on Youtube but not so much when you write for them, They're the absolute worst. You know as they say "Reality is often Disappointing" it is the perfect saying. All of them are pretty narc up in there brains first they totally think that a writer who writes for them doesn't deserve to be paid... like they're doing a favor to us using our content to make money. * "We will give you Credits" is the most popular sentence and it always comes first out of their mouth. * It is always your fault when they can't enact a scene from your Written monologue. * "Come up with something fresh, dude!" like you're paying me a heck load of a money ...

do you guys ever try not to do something, its tricky isn't it "Self-Control - A Stigma". I guess if we all had perfect Self-Control we would be these movie gods and rockstars but that is the thing we are not and to most of the extent that is fine. The point still remains the same why can't we control ourselves, Ironically the movie "Fight Club" (oh, yes i am movie nerd) is not about Physical Fighting it is about what you want ti choose a Chick or a Broccoli, Reading a Book or Reality TV. It showed us that the Self-Control is the epitome to ultimate spirituality we face everyday. Like Meditation is Free, Fasting is Free, Showing Gratitude for things is Free, Spirituality is Free but Consumerism isn't Free. It is a Trap actually Consumerism is the exact opposite. It contains Strong animalistic desires Sex, Sugar, Porn and Junk Food of any kind and We can actually escape this trap of Consumerism and Ego. WE CAN BECOME FREE, if we only just try... LOSIN...

Life is truly just far too short to get hung up on things we cannot control. - Diksha 2020 HOLDING ONTO ANGER IS LIKE DRINKING POISON - well these times are crazy and calmness has left the body and brain. Yes, I realize that anger is a natural emotion that we can’t always control feeling but we certainly have the power to CHOOSE how we are going to respond to that anger. If we scream, holler, stomp our feet and throw a good old fashioned temper tantrum (and make sure we tell everyone on Twitter) what are we gonna solve besides dragging everyone else down with us? Is that fair? Yes, I also realize that you have the right to be angry and I don’t have a clue what you are going through, nor can I understand without experiencing it myself. I could share 23 years of reasons to holler and tell the world that life isn’t fair, but what the heck is the point? Will it change anything at all? I don't think so. What if we decided to try something new? What if we DECIDED to use our anger to...

All my lights are off. Besides my glowing Laptop, it’s nearly pitch black in my humble bedroom. I’m wearing this Bloodshot Tee that I bought in Mumbai. I like this t-shirt because it makes me look like I'm a fan of comic series but seriously telling you that it's a lie I'm a fan of Jason David Frank that's why I wear it. Man, Quarantine is hard, just when i thought that my venture was going good, Coronavirus came for it hard and pushed it further but still here Alive and Kicking I'm that mechanic trucker boy from the wrong side of the tracks.

I actually like it, for once people are following the Lockdown which is a good thing, and this silence living far away from any busy streets. hmm, Good. Saving the Money and living with Frugality is the new cool now. I’m awake and the world might be asleep now at 12:40 am. It’s so quiet that I can hear the ringing in my ears.

From the past two months after my exams and that one of a kind internship I was really having some trouble with my sleeping, Insomnia hits every night and the best thing in the world i.e "Music" isn't helping me with my sleep, because of this particular reason I started using sleeping apps which lead me to ASMRs (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) where I have now learnt a lot about the Voices within which I'm going to elaborate below: * Voice of Hope  The voice of hope still believes in fairy tales and happily ever after. It is often quickly smothered by the voice of reason, and ridiculed by the voice of darkness and doubt. But somehow, no matter what happens in life, this voice continues to survive.Yes, sometimes the light dims to barely a spark, but something keeps it alive, keeps it believing. * Voice of Darkness and Doubt The voice of darkness and doubt often believes that it is the voice of reason, that it is simply knocking some sense into me, forc...

It's an encouraging thing when you pour yourself into something and people go out of their way to let you know that they enjoy it. like even priceless. Just for once I want my life to be like a 90s movie. As I said earlier I have a lot of extra aimless and senseless material which is of no use, i will be throwing all of that here from now on. because why not ?! below is one excerpt, i wrote randomly: -Twenty Two- I looked in the mirror in the morning and what did I see? A average dark twenty-two year old looking back at me. How is that possible, how can it be? Wasn’t it yesterday I was nineteen? was living my best life, without all the worries. With twenty-five just a stone’s throw away I begin to wonder how to keep it all at bay Then I realize some aren’t blessed to see that day Life is short and I'm not getting younger, I wanna get rich like JP and Corden, 100k a month , sounds pretty golden. Another decade? to see... I think I’ll be okay. update* on...
