Bad habits
E
Hi, I'm a little new to this, not true to it so I don't know what I'm doing. I'm thinking maybe it will help me relax and stop overthinking about how much of a horrible person I am; I mean it's not like I'm the worse person in the world... nobody really is, I guess I just go through and or put myself through situations that make me look and feel bad.

Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued
Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued There’s a peculiar kind of quiet that comes when you stop chasing validation from others. At first, it feels uncomfortable—like something is missing. The spaces where someone’s laughter used to fill the air feel too vast, and the silence of your phone is deafening. But then, something miraculous happens.

Longing for a Life Beyond the Noise
Finding My Way: Dreaming of a Simpler Life Amid Responsibilities Life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes, in the midst of responsibilities, we find ourselves longing for something different. A whisper of a dream, a vision of a life we wish we could have—but don’t know how to achieve.

Goodness Is Weakness. Content Warning.
While I Slept Last Night, The Real Me Held The Waking Me Hostage I wasn't bound or gagged. I was sitting in a dark room that was lit by dim bulbs, and viscera dripped from the ceiling to the floor. It wasn't the intestines and seared and ragged flesh that lined the walls as curtains or the exsanguination of random limbs littered on the floor that told me it was a nightmare. It wasn't the blood and guts that oozed from the walls endlessly that told me that it was all a very bad dream. Those things are in every dream. I am unbothered by the gore of my mind.

The Other Woman
I don't know if any woman sets out to be "the other woman" - the woman we often see in movies, in books, and on tv whom someone's boyfriend, husband, or otherwise significant other is cheating with. Did any little girl ever dream of being the other woman? I don't know. But I've known a few, and they have interesting stories to tell.

An ode to my wanderlust- my recent travel reflections
The darkness that surrounds the storm is often the most turbulent period of hardships that embellish us into the trance of not knowing what to do. I learnt the lessons of patience, virtue and gratitude from the darkest periods of my life. Life has its ways of embracing us in its wisdom, staggering us into the whirlwinds of challenges and adversities, only to gift us with peonies of hope. Hope can metamorphose mountains of hatred into the galloping beauty of existence that showers us with the narrative of self-belief and confidence. It is often in a wanderlust away from our daily surroundings that we realize the wonder that the world we live in has to offer. Forgiveness after a storm is like accepting the catastrophe without denying the damage it has done. It is painful but necessary to survive, to thrive in our lives.

Who Am I?
Who Am I? In the journey of life, we often encounter a deep, introspective question: "Who am I?" As we seek an answer, our ego frequently stands in the way, distorting our perception of reality. The ego, in essence, is an emotional veil, making us believe that we are the most important and that we are superior to others. However, when we take a step back and observe with a clear mind, we realise that there is no real 'I.' We are merely a small, yet significant, part of this vast universe.
