Childhood
The Quest for being right
You really have no idea how desperate most people are to be right all the time. It’s quite amazing!, they’ll go as far as denying reality itself if that means they can be right in the end. This yearning for validation can shape a person’s judgment and fundamentally influence their overall worldview. Deep down, the need to be right comes from a drive for certainty and self-assurance. Being right is comforting, reassuring, and provides an internal balance. Humans always seek for validation from other humans, this builds up their assurance, ego and happiness, it makes up for the flaws they might have while satisfying their biases.

The Shadow Game. Content Warning.
In a quiet, seemingly ordinary neighborhood, there lived a 10-year-old girl named Pari. She was a charming and innocent child, loved by everyone. Every day after school, Pari would come home, hug her mother tightly, and then lose herself in the world of her dolls. She lived in a blissful routine, unaware of the darkness that lurked in the corners of her life.

one too many. Content Warning.
I wrote this in 2021 for an Ela assignment Being the black sheep of the herd can be empowering. It can make you feel different from the rest, like you have a destiny placed by God waiting for you in the footprints of life. But sometimes, that small shed of light can become nothing more than the moon's aura, nothing more than the reflection of a candle. And you slowly feel yourself become an outcast of society, the laughing stock of the herd.You feel as if you can’t dance like the others, you can’t frolic in the meadows or feel the euphoria of love. As that slowly slips away, you feel life itself become dragged into nothingness, yet the only escape from that ever cycling reality leads you to the slaughterhouse of the farm. The long lost legacy God left you, was to die a death of meaning, to sing your beautiful song as you're stripped of what makes you your own self being. It takes away the humanity of the ones who care for you, and it shows their true intentions.They saw you as nothing but dead meat all along.

A Glimpse into My Latest Reflections
Life has a way of prompting us to reflect at unexpected moments, and recently, I found myself in such a state of contemplation. It wasn't a grand event or a life-altering revelation, but a series of small, interconnected experiences that led me to pause and look inward.

CONFESSION
In my room alone, I was looking at the ceiling, and my mind was wandering back to the memories of my past. The truth was at last to be faced, the false confession of myself to myself to be revealed, to see the great bond between my heart and soul.
