How Stress Got Ghosted by Me ?

Once upon a damn-near-breakdown night in the cluttered, haunted messy mansion of my mind, Stress showed up like an unwanted ex

—loud, relentless, and obsessed with all my screw-ups. 

It ranted about missed deadlines, body flubs, social disasters, and even the recent suspicious death of my houseplant.

But this time? I wasn’t having it.

With the cold, merciless stare of a cat who’s already knocked over your favorite mug once too often, I asked, “Who the hell is this ‘I’ that’s so damn upset?”

Turns out, that “I” was nothing but a ghost

— an empty, scriptless shadow that vanished when I stopped feeding it attention. Poooof. Stress’s whole drama club just evaporated.

Not done, Stress tried its usual tricks

— whispering about the past like a bad memory hoarder and screaming about the future like a fortune-telling lunatic. 

But I wasn’t buying tickets to that nightmare circus anymore.

I locked eyes and said, “I’m living in the now, buddy. Try catching me.” [ Telugu Pushpa movie dialogue - Dhammuntey Pattukoraaa nannu Shikavatthu lol ]

Stress froze, confused like a cat trying to figure out why the laser pointer vanished into the abyss. No past to chew on, no future to chase

—just this damn present moment staring back.

Then, with the smirk of a cosmic prankster, I said, 

“All is well.”

It was like a mind-mic drop that silenced the chaos. Stress looked around, dumbfounded, like it had just realized it forgot what to say to its own joke.

Finally, I surrendered —not to Stress, but to the deep, unshakable calm . It was like telling Stress, “You’re not on my contact list anymore.”

Stress growled BOW BOW like a Street Dog, and then slipped away

— left powerless when I took the complete control.

Moral 

• Stress is just a hollow ghost begging for attention—it dies when you stop feeding it.

• The present moment is your ultimate getaway car from worry’s mugging.

• Saying “All is well” is your sneaky ninja move to deflate panic.

• Surrendering to your inner calm is the ultimate ghosting strategy—no texts, no calls, no future or past 

So next time Stress slides into your DMs with a guilt trip or a panic attack, remember: you’re the one who can swipe left forever.
