Have you ever wondered about who you are? What are those little things that make you into you? What are your likes, dislikes and characteristics? Who are you? The thought just occurred to me a couple moments ago. I was laying in bed, watching a video and it happened, I asked myself: Who am I?… Continue reading Clay
Bad days
Everyone has good days and bad days. I've been having a couple of meh-ish, bad days in a row now. It's not too serious, but I feel like these things build up, you know? My bad days usually start with a feeling of heaviness when I wake up in the morning; maybe because of a… Continue reading Bad days
Passion vs. doing things just-so
I need to do some reflection right now. I'm not quite able to wrap my mind around it clearly, but I'm hoping that writing it down will help me compartmentalize my thoughts. Right, here it goes. I like to think that I'm the kind of person who knows what she wants. For the most part,… Continue reading Passion vs. doing things just-so
Staring at the sky
Have you ever laid on the grass, the concrete or your terrace and looked at the sky? Have you left that overwhelming sense of peace washing over you as you watch the clouds float, the colours changing and the lights fading? It's absolutely beautiful, wondrous, mesmerizing even. It's meditative. Nothing else matters in those moments.… Continue reading Staring at the sky

Power in a conversation
Just a few minutes ago, I was having a conversation with my internship/work supervisor. We were talking about a feedback and pitch call for potential clients. She said something that really hit me. She said, always be conscious of the power you hold in a conversation. Ensure you have that power and you're not simply… Continue reading Power in a conversation
Wind-up toy
I believe that I do relatively well at university - both academically, in my co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. My marks, certificates and volunteering proves that. I think I do relatively well, or rather, I think others think I do relatively well. Lately, it's been a good time, achievement-wise for me - I've been interviewing people… Continue reading Wind-up toy
Some things never go away
When I was a teenager, I self-harmed. I would cut myself every time I got upset or sad or angry. I was around 13 years old when I first did it, I was really sad about something, but I just can't remember what. By the time I turned 17, it was a terrible dependency. I… Continue reading Some things never go away
Zig-zagging
Let's, just for a moment, hypothetically assume that everything we wish to achieve lies on a single straight line. Along the straight line are various checkpoints of wants, desires and achievements. Every time you fulfill a goal, another takes its place and so the story goes. Life, however, is not a straight line. More of… Continue reading Zig-zagging
