Having people around you always changes your path someway, without realizing you’re going where they want to go but not necessarily where you want to be, I’m glad I gave my self the chance to wander alone, and allowed myself to be everything they didn’t tell me to be. The End Just some outpour of…

I found hope in reading, and that’s what I plan to give people with my words.
Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
A couple of years ago I came across one of my favourite poems- ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’, by Dylan Thomas. The poem goes- Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise…
Do Not Normalize
During this period, I’m certain everyone has passed by something that’s more traumatising than the pandemic we’re all experiencing. You might wonder what could be more drastic than this pandemic, and I am sorry to provide our “humanity” as the answer. From the increasing rates of domestic violence, to the infuriating number of cases in…
Don’t be So hard on yourself!
Go at your own pace. Stress is nothing but the outcome of the imaginary challenge you put yourself in- of having to be better, smarter, faster. You just have to be you, and make it beautiful in your own way, no matter how long it takes! The End Just some outpour of thoughts in intricately…
Embrace the Journey
We often go hard on ourselves when we realize that we’re not where we want to be, for whatever reason. We don’t blame the cracks in the road, or the storms that caused us to trip, we only blame ourselves. The thing is, the concept of blaming should be erased from our souls. Finding anything…
Change the World
What would you change about the world if you had the power? The answer to that question for most of us would be anything between making the world a more beautiful, kind and a better place in any way we can; but isn’t it peculiar that all of us would agree on this one answer…
Bloom
How familiar we are with darkness can be quite surprising at times. You sit there and wonder how someone that looks so alive can actually be so melancholic. I believe that this darkness is what sets the right contrast for us to see clearly. But our role doesn’t end there, we don’t just survive and…
The Art of Talking
The desire to open up can be very strong sometimes- the idea of someone actually being able to understand and walk along your healing process with you can be very attractive. But the things that can go wrong in this seemingly “easy” decision can be overwhelming. When you first approach a person, you don’t think…
The Infinity Inside Now
I always thought moments were infinite, no matter how big or small they were. A moment can embrace you until you become nothing, or shun you with all of its details. And that’s why some memories never go away, no matter how hard you try to scrub them off your brain, and also that’s why…
Astronauts
We all get hurt, we have experienced how it feels to get abandoned, to fail, and to see the coldest sides of the people that were once warm with us. However, I’m a firm believer that the intensity of your pain is controlled by you- you choose to view yourself as the victim, or as…
Routine
I missed the days when I went to bed feeling like I’ve accomplished something, now every night I stare at the ceiling and think of the great plan that will miraculously pull me out of this routine, then I fall asleep thinking, then I wake up and repeat it all again. The End Just some…
Apologize
Not every human trait is humane. Humans envy, humans destroy, humans deceive, humans hurt, and humans can be possessive; and the mistake each and everyone of us make is accepting our mistake, giving ourselves a pat on the back even if we ruin somebody else’s day as long as that somebody isn’t us. One of…
Second Option
I wake up and I decide it’ll be a ‘Me-Day’. I won’t let any thoughts pull me down, and I won’t let my love for them make me stumble. I walk through the streets and admire the potential behind all of these strange faces. Time passes, and it almost feels like I’m untouched, like I’ve…
