Journal entry- One for the ambitious melancholics

I do not claim to know myself well enough but I think that I have always been a borderline workaholic. Productivity and a constant sense of accomplishment is my high in life and something that keeps me driven. However, one common misconception that people have about workaholics is that we love work so much that... Continue Reading →

Journal entry – Authenticity

I always felt life is so much easier when you're unapologetically, yet responsibly yourself. One social issue I often have is dealing with people who try too hard, albeit unsuccessfully, to constantly hide and miscommunicate parts of themselves to maintain a projected image.

Most times, objective understanding of a situation reveals that the person in question was never deserving of the pedestal we placed them upon. Neither did they equivocally ask for...

The omnipresent alter ego

I wonder how many of us have a whole other world created within our minds that we resort to whenever our realties become not as favourable as we’d like. I often read social media posts about how a lot of people hoard their minds with fictional characters that are perfect in their worlds within the... Continue Reading →

The insignificant mind controllers

At 25, a whole new set of dynamics of life begin unfolding and it is a consistent struggle to keep up with the world – at least for me. For someone mesmerized by and very conscious of human psyche and behaviour, it is a much bigger challenge to be keeping oneself convinced that things have... Continue Reading →
