On and On and On
I don’t always like it. Sometimes it’s unbelievably difficult to put exactly what I want to say into words-the way I feel it. To be able to convey the emotion with the precision it deserves. And sometimes, it just flows. The words come effortlessly , and I feel like I’ve captured exactly what I want…

Trapped in Freedom
By definition, freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. It sounds simple. Empowering. Even obvious. But in the quiet corners of my day-to-day life, I find myself asking : Am I truly free? Are any of us? I am a woman. A mother. A daughter. I carry responsibilities…

Alive Afraid
Lately, I’ve felt a pull-a quiet but persistent urge to live my life more fully. To love wholly. To be present in every moment, in every way possible. To enjoy the little things and the big ones. To live. At first, it felt magical. It still does-as I figure out more and more ways. Like…

Chasing Cola & Other Stories of Half-Living
“I’ll chase this with some Coca-Cola” -these marked the start of my weekend rhythm. This would be either some Whiskey or Gin- depending on the mood. They are not as frequent as they used to be-the weekends- and there’s a part of me that misses it though. Not the drinks themselves, but the release that…

All Around Us- Intentionally
“Calm down…the world doesn’t revolve around you.” We’ve heard it. We have said it. We’ve thought it-especially when someone gets too demanding or overbearing. And honestly, it makes sense. The world can’t revolve around just one person, right? But the, a different corner of life says: With enough intention, manifestation, and focus-you can bend reality…

Lingerie & Liberation: Learning to Just Do
To say I’ve had nothing to write about these past few weeks would be a lie. It is, however, true that I have not written anything anyway. A swirl of thoughts have passed through my mind. Things I’d love to share. Yet, translating them into something meaningful, helpful, and still interesting? That has been a…

Doubt With Benefits
I don’t know… I’m just not sure. Doubt shows up everywhere-before making decisions, in relationships, when facing new ideas. It creeps us quietly, and mostly, we don’t like it. It’s dismissed, even shunned. Not glorified. We’re often told to ‘just get on with it already’. And yes, at some point, action beats endless questioning. But…

The Why Beneath The What
Human beings are often described as creatures of habit-we live by them, we are shaped by them, and we’re constantly encouraged to cultivate good ones while discarding bad ones. And when it comes to evaluating our habits, identifying the negative ones is often easier than recognizing the positive ones we’ve nurtured over time. And while…

Life and Its Demand for Balance
Adulting, as I continue to learn it, seems to be an act of balancing. Work-life balance that we hear so much about-how important it is, how we must prioritize it-but the more we strive for it, the more elusive it seems. The effort to succeed, to grow, to upskill in our careers often clashing with…

Freeze To Flow
Water freezes from the outside in. The outer layers, exposed to the cold, radiate heat away more quickly, allowing ice to form. There’s more science to it-nucleation of points and the conductivity of water. But beyond physics, this principle resonates deeply with how we, as human beings, experience life. Just as water freezes from the…
