No, love. You haven’t seen me. You’ve seen the version of me that loves you. One that tears up when you don’t meet expectations One that forgives and forgets a hundred mistakes One that never returns the rude remarks And one that has love left in her heart to still shower. No, love. You haven’t... Continue Reading →
Journal entry – In a world that caters to volatility
One thing my generation (and the ones after that) has really struggled with is the idea of having to give things time. We were brought up into a technologically advancing, and considerably advanced world that adapts to the most volatile human qualities in no time. It cuts down efforts, shortens time needed to complete a... Continue Reading →
Trenches
The trenches of the graph Ugh, how they’re the most consuming of all When the conscience slips down to the worst part of the mind And wanders the trenches looking for triggers Triggers for self sabotage and fits of anger How consuming are the low points of life. The awareness of its fleeting state does... Continue Reading →
Inflicting insecurity
How is it so easy to inflict insecurity Even in the toughest of minds with foundations of intellect And barriers so high no commoner can impeach It’s still easy to implant insecurity. Post years of perseverance after confidence And endless nights of racing against time for excellence After unseen fulfilment found in what the world... Continue Reading →
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.

The fair share of disappointments
One thing that I have seen a lot of people struggle dealing with is disappointments in life. There are very few in the world, or at least around me, who seem to lose control over all they have believed about themselves when something goes the way they did not prefer. Dealing with disappointments in life,... Continue Reading →
Self assurance and relationships
It’s a common human tendency to expect returns for what has been invested. Especially in relationships, most fights occur when one person invests and the other withdraws consistently, without mutual benefit. But honestly, such matters are not given enough emphasis as they hold the potential to completely break a person down. We tend to think... Continue Reading →
The most accessible therapist
“Let me in, without a shout Let me in, I have a doubt There are more, many more Many many many more Like me” These are lines from a song I have heard a lot. I go back to this song every time I feel low, and the way it hits is practically emotional fulfilment.... Continue Reading →
The most ‘uncool’ thing mistaken to be cool
There are a lot of millennials and teenagers I come across on social media who tend to put up a rather impressive profile, thanks to high quality photos accompanied by sophisticated captions. Sure, it’s a good thing and we are all impressed by them, until it gets way too pretentious to put up with. A... Continue Reading →
