One of the most popular, the rex begonia, is a fantastic low-maintenance houseplant for new plant parents.

The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence
The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence The echoes of the noise that surrounds us often succeed in their endeavor to surmount and overbear the inner compass and our intuition guides us toward it. The tendency of society to guide us towards the conventional way of life is its habitual way of functioning. While the ones who follow the laid guidelines are appraised and extolled and the ones who muster the courage to be unconventional are unfathomable and incapable as they do not work according to the prescribed guidelines of the societal norms. The comfort of comparison is way more elusive than the openness to change and empathy towards the different ways of thinking. The hesitation to accept a new way of living is viewed seldom as the hammered wheelings of time lay their footsteps.

The Evolution of Self Belief: From Doubt to Certainty
There are times when we doubt how far can we go. When we fall into the comfort of comparison and diminish our self-worth because of not being enough for the world. But what exactly is enough? Is being enough for the world a testament to how worthy we are, of our journey or is it a mere perception of the people who want us to conform to their level of understanding?

cold.. Content Warning.
Cold; like the pain I seemed to recognize, hidden deep beneath her eyes. I wish I would have known then, this world was bound to be so cold; I would have taken her with me.. or bought a ticket to go with. I still vividly remember the beauty in day our souls collided- Cold whistled all around us, brutal winds piercing at our skin, still we never broke to a shiver; all the ever-burning love our souls founded in one another, swaddled us much blanket like. Somehow after all not even five thousand degrees of burning love could protect from the crucifying cold.
