I saw an Instagram post recently where the author was sharing that due to global warming and climate change, the earth could start spinning slower and days could get longer. The most liked comment on the post was questioning whether days were actually getting longer and I had to agree because even if it’s true, […]

2021 was when I first came to the conclusion that I had a paradoxical personality. It just made sense. I could be the most outgoing person you know (as I’ve grown older I’ve really mellowed out) but at the same time, I could easily tire from social interactions. Case in point: during my service year,

If there is something more than endings that I often find myself dreading, it’s beginnings and coincidentally, they always follow each other. For me, December always comes with a pressure, to reflect, to take stock and January comes with its own pressure of starting anew. But, this year I’m refusing to let the usual pressure
Dear 2024; My ‘Just Being’ Year Read More »
My dearest gentle reader, As we pull the curtain on this 11th month and soon, on the entire year, I feel compelled to pour my heart out to you. No doubt, we could survive in this world all by ourselves but that wouldn’t be true living. Life is given its meaning because of other people
Self-reflection is something we often do as a way to gauge where we are in our lives and make sure we are not going off track. I often use to say that if anyone points out anything about me, I would probably already know about it because I love being honest about the things I

So, I’ve realised why only a few people among billions seem to do great things with their lives. I don’t think it’s something that always applies but it’s definitely a big factor. So what’s the reason? Showing up is HARD! That is something adulthood has been teaching me lately. ‘God, I know there’s prophecy over

I cried so much until I wanted to throw up, I have experienced sad things before but nothing like this. I then remembered all the times I had cried and it seemed crazy to have even cried over such petty things. Pain is different for everyone. I don’t think I know how everyone else has
Hey you guys. To be honest, I really don’t have anything in particular to write about but I just know I have to write. I’m so happy that one of the tag lines of this blog is that I write random things so if this post is random, I’m justified. *inserts crying emoji* Sometimes if

Love is hard. Anyone that knows me knows I’m not a pessimist. I see life through the most rose-tinted glasses there is, in my world everything is sunshine, butterflies and flowers. So when I say love is hard, I’m not saying it in a negative way or speaking wrongly into the atmosphere. I’m not saying
Love is Hard; Here’s why you should still try it Read More »
When something tragic happens, we always tell ourselves that we will do better, be more present, tell our loved ones we love them more but a couple of days pass and life carries on as usual. We get stuck in the hustle and bustle and we forget the promise of mindfulness that we had just
