An open letter to the voices in my head
Dear Echoes in my mind I understand how enraging it becomes from time to time to express yourself, to finally say what's on your mind, to bury your sadness and angst through my being. Because I know how infuriating it is to be confined in an endless labyrinth of what-ifs and curating the worst-case scenarios for every stance we go through. I know all you are trying to do is protect me from the potential perils of my existential stride, to shield me from the externality of how horrendous the world could be. I behold your concern, I see you as you are and I feel your pain, but I want to be honest with you and I am tired. I am tired of your constant whispers of how bad the world is, how everything can turn against me or how I can become better because the present me is not good enough.

Decision: The Foundation of Life
Ayan sat on a park bench, staring at the rippling water of the small lake before him. The late afternoon sun cast golden reflections on the surface, yet his mind was clouded with uncertainty. He was faced with a decision that had the potential to alter his life forever. For the past five years, he had worked as a junior executive in a corporate firm. It was a stable job, providing him with a decent salary and a comfortable lifestyle. But deep down, he felt trapped. His true passion lay in writing, something he had neglected for years in the name of security. And now, an opportunity had arrived—one that could either fulfill his dreams or leave him struggling financially. A renowned publishing house had offered to publish his novel. The catch? He would need to dedicate himself full-time to writing, as they required him to complete two more books within the next three years. Quitting his job meant stepping into uncertainty, with no guarantee of financial stability. But continuing in his current job meant suppressing his dream forever.

January and February 2025: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
I messed up. In complete honesty, 2025 has been a whirlwind of difficulties and lessons that have humbled me in its entirety. Though lasting only two months in its stretch, I have danced through the storms that have wearied the brevity of my soul. Some days were radiating with a sense of hope and oozing peace that displayed the possibility of a bright future, while others had a sense of doom, the kind of despair that doesn't go away with a full night's sleep, or ice cream or a warm bubble bath. It is the kind of tiredness that lingers onto your soul in its deepest trench, leaving no room for any light to enter.

I Deserve Better. Top Story - March 2025.
Recently, I had someone tell me that they thought I was in a relationship with someone. When I let them know that I wasn’t, they were shocked by it. Anytime anyone asks me this, they assume that since some people find me attractive that I am automatically supposed to be in a committed relationship. Then I often get asked why I am not making love my main priority.

Sipping Wisdom: A Personal Journey of Meeting My Younger Self Over Coffee
The air permeated a sense of calmness and stillness as I entered the coffee shop ten minutes late, I saw my younger self sitting there reading a book as she was sipping on her favourite caramel ice cream latte. Engrossed in her tale, she scrunched her nose as she did not like a particular stance of the story, I smiled with a serenity-filled eye as I saw the beauty of innocence brimming in her eyes. Hurrying across the table I told her sorry I was late and she said it was no problem. She asked me what I would like to have and I ordered an iced mocha frappuccino as she made room for me to sit alongside her on the table.
