I am back with yet another New Year post. I feel like I remember the existence of this blog only on 31st December every year. I will not try and take some resolution saying I will blog more. I probably won’t. But I like that I am recording something every year here. This year’s post…
2024… I need to take a few deep breaths just to recall all that happened this year. When I try to think back, it feels like I went through 3 years in 1. Starting from rekindling my old hobby with anime and manga to finding a bunch of people through it who put in effort…
So recently I got into a crazy reading spree and read the Heaven Official’s Blessing series. It is a series of eight books and it is about a “failed” god and his journey where he comes across a ghost king who seems to want to help him. It is the translated version of the Chinese…
It was one of the busiest airports in the world. Every single day thousands of people walk through this airport to get to their destination. It was around sunset time when she plopped down on one of the chairs in front of her gate. She was annoyed at the further delay of her flight. She…
It’s a peculiar thing how something as arbitrary as a song on the radio can trigger a memory you didn’t even realize you were cherishing, causing it to resurface. And when it does, a bittersweet smile appears because the memory belongs to the past and holds no relevance in the present. That’s exactly what happened…
Hey, How have you been? I am reading this book called “Beautiful world, where are you.” There are two characters, Eileen and Simon, whose rocky relationship reminds me so much of our own relationship. You were one of the first people I could call a best friend and mean it because, for the first time…
So far in my life I have had only two celebrity crushes. I am talking major feelings, posters all over the room, knowing about every single work of theirs. That kind. It is so much fun to do it. Project all the infatuation onto a real person but know for sure that it will never…
What’s something most people don’t understand? Recently I was talking to someone and asked them to show some empathy. Their response was “Why should I?” It threw me off. Like why would someone not try and understand another person? Isn’t that what makes us human? What is so difficult about imagining yourself in another person’s…
What activities do you lose yourself in? Saw this prompt and I just had to write. I always had trouble listing out hobbies when someone asked what I did for fun. It was and still is a long list. I do a variety of things. I write blogs, read (books and fan-fiction), write letters and…
Been wanting to write about this for a while. But never got the motivation to sit and pen it down. I recently got certified in Art Therapy. As in I am certified to conduct art therapy sessions. That got me thinking on how I unknowingly used art therapy on myself when the world stopped functioning…
I recently had to pretty much break up with a close friend of mine after they kept brushing me aside and took me for granted. Ever since I started therapy I hadn’t cried over someone. But I cried over this “friend”. On one side I was proud that I have worked so hard to get…
Another year has passed and it is time for my usual new year post. 2022 was the year I took off from work, worked and focused only on my health. What a journey it has been. Starting from getting a diagnosis for my mental health to getting surgeries done and slowly getting back to what…
In 2013 I got a job that took me to a new city where I had to live all by myself. I got a nice little place and began experiencing a new kind of life. The one with your own cooking debacles and the one where you figure out how to clean each part of…
Merriam Webster defines Hope as the desire with expectation of obtainment or fulfilment. It is when we want something to be true or something to happen. A long lasting dream of sorts towards which we work throughout our lives. It could be a dream job, a dream house, a love life, a pet, a family…
I opened up this draft from my 30th birthday. I wanted to write something but I couldn’t on that day so here I am. Writing after a very long time. If anyone out there is reading, why? I know I use my blog like a diary. But I wonder what makes someone read through these…
