When Your Soul and Mind Collide...
Writing happens when your soul and mind collide with ideas and pictures, things that you want to do or say. It can be quite overwhelming sometimes. For me, my thoughts are much faster than my typing speed, so I often find myself struggling to get all of my thoughts out before I forget them. Even so, writing has taught me so many important and valuable things over the years, and I'm very grateful for that.

Read This if You Feel Like Giving Up. Top Story - February 2025.
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts. How beautiful would life be if we let go of pain, anger, sadness, grim! I wish we had built-in programming that would delete all the moments and experiences that stirred catastrophic fires and raged war and kindled and whooshed the fire within us simultaneously! Human minds behold the capability of inventiveness, of loving, of living and yet with so much to be blissful about, we are inherent in our ounces to be boggled about negativity, to be enveloped in the traumatic flashes of our photographic memory. I know it is vital to be grateful for the goodness of life, the light that exists in our strides, the privilege and the beauties that we possess, the existence that we lead is a dream for many, that all consorts to be the gospel truth and cannot be denied. But at the end of every second we spend in this mortal realm, in the most painstaking way I would shout in gallant echoes of the rooftop, it is okay to not be okay!

Wasted Dreams, Empty Promises
I was told when I was a kid, that when you grow up, you go to college and then you get a job and a house and have kids and do all of the things my parents did. Turns out, that's not actually what life in America has ever been like. This picture of the perfect "nuclear family" doesn't exist, and for a lot of my life, I have let that hold me back from really seeing what I can do in this world. I'm still processing everything, but I have done a lot of healing over the last year. Now, I want to do something big, like I've always wanted to. I want the life I imagined as a little girl to be true.

An ode to being lost in life
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designated ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection. It is comforting to know that some mighty and divine force beckons us in moments of need and sometimes all we need to do is let go and have faith. Life in its truest mirth often transcends through the truces of rationalisation and delusion, through the light of knowing exactly what to do and under the traces of pretence which hides the scariest part, not having a single clue as to where your life is going.
