This morning at breakfast, as I was looking out the window and into the sunshine that spilled onto the nearby plants, I realised that I was feeling okay again. My wave is rising, I thought to myself. I have read somewhere that women are like waves. Our emotions tend to rise and fall, just like… Continue reading The Rising of the Wave

I Have Always Been the Sun
It's my 21st day of writing and I won't oblige myself to write everyday after this. After all, I think I was able to make writing a habit because I think about it and plan for it when I'm not doing it. I am so relieved because I felt like I have finally said my… Continue reading I Have Always Been the Sun
There is a Light That Refuses to go out
It's been twenty days of non-stop writing everyday and someone told me today that it's amusing to note that my writing has a progression. And I agreed with her. I have noticed the progression in my writing as well. From low and desolate, it steadily and surely climbed its way up until it broke the… Continue reading There is a Light That Refuses to go out
It’s Like Coming up for air
Today it felt like the ball and chain has been taken off of my foot and I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I feel grateful for writing because though it opened a can of worms, I was able to take out the trash and gain clarity because I… Continue reading It’s Like Coming up for air
Down the Rabbit Hole
I have noticed that it's taking me a while to come up with something to write about now that I'm nearing my 21st day of writing straight. Today is my 16th day and it's not that I have nothing to write about anymore, I still have a lot to write about, the problem is that… Continue reading Down the Rabbit Hole
I Have Loved you for a Year
Whenever I think of you, I'd like to think that we were born at a time where afternoons were golden and the internet was a pipe dream. We live on the opposing ends of the spectrum but we still meet somewhere in the middle. I keep thinking you don't belong in my world and I… Continue reading I Have Loved you for a Year
It all Comes full Circle
I'm writing late because my writing's usual time slot of six to eight in the evening was generously given to something important. Technically, the day still hasn't ended so I'm still qualified for my 21-day writing streak challenge. A while ago I was with the people who I've ended my 2017 with. And with everything… Continue reading It all Comes full Circle
All That we Leave Behind
I've been imagining what it would be like when I finally leave this God-forsaken place. I imagine myself having a destination to go to and the plane ticket that will ferry me to my new life. I imagine all the years I have built fitted into humongous suitcases and carry-ons; all the excesses of my… Continue reading All That we Leave Behind
When Everything Breaks all at Once
This time of year last year, if somebody told me how my 2019 is going to end, I wouldn't have believed them. I can still remember the closing of my year last year, it was cheerful and hopeful as compared to the sombre and ambiguous one this year. I honestly don't know what's going to… Continue reading When Everything Breaks all at Once
The Arduous Practice of Forgiveness
I keep hearing and reading from many spiritual leaders that in order for us to live a life with an inner peace that never gets disturbed, we have to practice meditation or prayer, we have to keep on giving until it hurts, we have to practice self-awareness, and we have to learn how to forgive… Continue reading The Arduous Practice of Forgiveness
