    I know it’s time to unplug when even the things that usually light up my soul start to feel heavy. When I don’t feel like talking to my best friend, the person who knows me better than I know myself. When sketching, writing, or pouring my heart into my journal, which are usually my safe…

    If I had to choose one quality I value most in a friend, it would be loyalty, but not just loyalty in the traditional sense of standing by you. I mean the loyalty that shows up in quiet moments, in presence, and in staying in touch even when life is tough or complicated. To me,…

    Yes, I do. I was born and brought up in India, where religion isn’t a set of beliefs; life is religion. I’ve grown up seeing my parents perform pooja, fast, light diyas in the temple space at home, and begin the day with the ring of bells and incense. As a kid, I imitated it…

  • The True Meaning of Having It All

    To me, “having it all” does not turn out to be what the world traditionally makes it out to be. It’s not about a million dollars in the bank, an enormous house with gleaming marble floors, or shiny luxury vehicles parked in a row. It’s not about fame, power, or the type of achievement that’s…

  • A Quiet Light That Keeps Shining

    When I think about the legacy I hope to leave behind, I don’t think of accomplishments, awards, or belongings. I think about energy, the quiet, soulful mark I leave on the hearts I’ve touched, the lives I brighten, and the minds I stir up gently. I want my legacy to be love, not the big,…

    Honestly, I adore cold weather; it’s my absolute favorite season, hands down. There’s something incredibly comforting and healing about winter that touches me not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. The instant the temperatures start to drop and that cool chill moves into the air, I experience this odd feeling of inner peace……

  • The Quiet Sacrifices

    I’ve sacrificed more than I can count, big ones, small ones, but all held together behind a smile. One of the earliest dreams I ever sacrificed was painting. I adored colors, brushes, and the sensation of creating something that felt like me on a canvas. It wasn’t a hobby; it was how I explained the…

    Honestly, it’s hard to pick just one. There are so many areas I feel need healing, nurturing, and growth. But if I had to start somewhere, I’d say the most important improvement I want to make right now is within myself, my mind, my body, and the way I treat myself. I want to improve…

  • My Forever Friend

    If I had to share a story about someone who’s had the most beautiful and positive impact on my life, it would be about my best friend, my soul sister, who’s been with me for over 12 years now. We met in school, just two ordinary girls trying to figure out life, unaware that we…

  • The Freedom to Be Me

    To me, freedom is not just a word, it’s a deeply personal and transformative experience. It’s the feeling of breathing fully, of living in alignment with your truth, without constantly seeking validation or suppressing your desires to meet someone else’s expectations. Freedom, for me, begins with liberation from relationships that confine rather than nurture. And…
