Stream of Consciousness
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.

My Journey in January and February 2025: Embracing 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.

The Forgotten Ones
Blackwood town had never lacked whispers of something sinister lurking behind the large pine trees. There were stories generations told about ghostly howls at dusk, dark forms dancing against the breeze, and an old, long-abandoned orphanage standing like a watching sentinel on the outskirts of town. Few were willing to discuss it, and even fewer were brave enough to approach.

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.

Poor Mindset
In her frustrated speech Senator Mehreen Faruqi states that there should be no billionaires in Australia and that having 150 of them is directly related to incremental unfavorable changes in statistical representation of the percentage of the Australian population living below the poverty line. In other words, the 150 of them are the reason why the country is getting poorer not the government itself that runs policies and administers the states that see poor stay poor.
