We were having a discussion about love, relationships and marriage in my Positive Psychology class today. I didn't listen to the entire class, but when I tuned in, my professor was speaking about sacrifice. Sacrifice for love. Some of my fellow students expressed that they didn't believe love is enough for a relationship or marriage,… Continue reading Sacrificing for love

Some things are ‘just for me’
Do you have a few things you keep to yourself? Objects, thoughts or emotions. They're yours and no one else's, you rarely talk about them because sharing them is tainting them. I have some things like this and I know for certain that others in my life do too. People who are not private, become… Continue reading Some things are ‘just for me’
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

The eye of the storm

It's a little overwhelming, no doubt; yet the weight of that feeling on your chest is something you welcome. For me, the feeling… Continue reading The eye of the storm
Flux
Human beings are always evolving, constantly in a state of flux in tandem with the world around them. Nevertheless, there are some things that remain the same - the most inert parts of our personalities, belief systems and habits. Maybe it's because of genetics, maybe because we were conditioned to be a particular way and… Continue reading Flux
Love: A poem

And I feel privileged to have felt it. Love from time to time,when things get darki'll… Continue reading Love: A poem
I was not made for fickle hook ups, casual dating or plain, old fucking
I wrote this one when I was seething with intense emotions that drove me to spit out all my thoughts into writing. Though, I do believe in every single word I've written in this one (even though I may act otherwise, sometimes). i was not made for fickle hook ups, casual dating or plain, old… Continue reading I was not made for fickle hook ups, casual dating or plain, old fucking
Love
Love, the big word. Daunting, fulfilling and wholesome. I've been wondering, what does 'love' mean to me? My idea of this concept has changed over the years, and will continue to change through the years. Only, I think I want to document what it means to me right now at 4:16 PM, 11th April, 2020,… Continue reading Love
