Let’s Meet Again

To the one who lit up my life like the Sun;  The one who saw me fall and rise and run; I still remember how you fed me while I watched the stars.  The way you rocked me, watched me fall into your arms. To the one whose food felt like home, Love, magic, and

The Truth About FOMO

It’s a regular Saturday night. You’re sitting on your phone, flicking through Instagram stories, waiting for life to pass by. The daily social media report tells you that parties around town, dinners at fancy five stars, and downtown shopping are the highlight of the hour. Thinking about it now, a double cheese pizza in bed

Bittersweet Moments

To the school years that flew before our eyes,  How did things change so fast? How did eager-eyed toddlers with no care in the world become adolescents choosing their paths into adulthood? How do years of togetherness compare with photographs now? Ironic, isn’t it, how time escapes your hands and you’re left with decisions to

The Evil Twin

The evil twin’s back again. One look in the mirror and it’s sitting right there. Head in your hand, hand in your hair. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed it, because damn right you have, that sniveling presence of yourself conjured up in your head. The nasty beast waiting to highlight your every flaw, the

Why? Have we failed to escape from thewhims of society’s impervious

Quaran-fine?

Another hour. Another day passes before my eyes. Time slowly but steadily slips away, in its glory of abundance. It’s been more than two weeks now. The entire world has come to a standstill, plagued by the coronavirus pandemic. Everything we used to count on for our temporary happiness has been subdued, fading away into

Future State of Mind

Well, well, that gut-wrenching, intimidating feeling is back again. Hello to you too, but this one’s clearly gotten the better out of me. Here it is, the big fat question mark haunting my dreams, the constant nagger wishing I had it all together in place, and the idea I just can’t seem to get around,

Maybe, maybe?

Just like any other day, I sit here today, me and my thoughts, in a world of our own. It’s a regular Thursday, nothing out of the ordinary, but there’s something that’s different. Maybe it’s a result of my loud, emotive surroundings or maybe it’sthe aspiring girl in me talking. But today, I wonder, I

The Best Teachers

When was the last time you made a mistake that changed your life? Obviously, you’re thinking of a “mistake” as probably an incorrect decision, a wrong choice, or maybe even an imposing action that you’re currently overanalyzing the after-effects of. If you’re wondering how it had the power to create a positive ripple effect in
