Teenagers and Spirituality????? | Day 1

 

Do Teenagers Even Need Spirituality?

Okay, real talk — what even is spirituality?

Like… people throw that word around a lot, but to me, it’s just about trying to connect with something bigger than yourself. That “something” could be God, energy, nature, the universe, your higher self — whatever makes you pause and go, “Whoa, maybe I’m not the main character in this whole existence thing.”

And honestly? I think teens do need that connection.

Look, our generation is low-key fried. We’ve got a million tabs open in our heads, attention spans shorter than a TikTok, and this constant feeling of rushing — but to where, exactly? We get so caught up in school, goals, social media, the grind, the comparison game… that we forget to just be. To sit in silence. To wonder. To trust.

Sometimes, I think we forget there’s something (or someone) out there that knows what’s going on — even when we don’t. Like, haven’t you ever had a moment where something happened, and at the time it made zero sense, but later you're like… “Ohhh. That’s why that happened”? Yeah. That’s the universe doing its thing. That’s spirituality, bro.

For me, that connection is God. Always has been. My name, Varad, literally means “blessing of Lord Ganesha”, and I honestly vibe with that. Whenever something good happens, I say thanks. When I’m down bad, I ask for help. It’s not deep rituals or temple visits every day — it’s just me and God having our own little understanding. Feels grounding, y’know?

Also, new thing: RAKS

I wanna try something : RAKS — Random Acts of Kindness.

At the end of each blog, I’ll drop one thing I did that day to spread some good vibes. And if you’re reading this, I’d love if you dropped yours in the comments. Doesn’t have to be huge — could be anything from helping your mom with dishes to saying a quick prayer for someone, or giving your friend a compliment they didn’t expect.

Today’s RAK: I prayed and asked God to keep everyone happy today. Yeah, even that dude with whom i had a small quarrel. Also you - the one reading this right now.

Final Thought (not deep, I swear)

Spirituality doesn’t need to be all ultra serious. It can be as chill as just talking to the sky, sitting in quiet, or noticing how crazy-perfect timing can be sometimes.

If you’ve never tried tapping into that side of life, maybe just… give it a shot. Doesn’t mean you have to start levitating or anything. Just be open. You might find peace in the most unexpected places.
