  • 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…

    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…

    Well, it’s a question that stirs a lot of emotion in me, not because I don’t have an answer, but because the journey toward this answer has been anything but easy. You see, while most children grow up dreaming of becoming something, an astronaut, a doctor, a teacher, I, too, had a dream. I wanted…

    From my perspective, being involved in the community doesn’t always have to mean being physically present in large social gatherings or events, especially for someone like me who finds comfort in quiet corners, thoughtful reflection, and meaningful one-on-one connections. My way of engaging with the community is rooted in emotional presence, mindful contribution, and offering…

    Whenever someone asks me, “What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?”, my mind goes blank for a second. Just one day? That’s such a tiny window of time. How do you even experience a job fully in one day? I suppose if I really had to choose something fleeting and…

  • The Essence of Uniqueness

    That’s such a beautiful and thought-provoking question. From my point of view, as someone who’s deeply immersed in psychology and also quite introspective by nature, I believe what truly makes a person unique is a combination of both inner and outer dimensions, some visible, others beautifully hidden. First and foremost, I think our thought patterns…

    First of all, video calls with my bestie are my personal comedy shows. We live in different states, but distance has only made our gossiping game stronger. We talk about everything under the sun, sometimes meaningful, often complete nonsense, and always ridiculously funny. From analyzing someone’s cryptic Instagram story like it’s a Sherlock Holmes mystery,…

    Well… when I was five, to be brutally honest, I didn’t even know there was something called “future.” Future? What future? I was too busy living in the present like a tiny Buddha, enjoying my roohafza, running around barefoot, watching cartoons, and just being blissfully unaware that one day I’d be expected to answer deep…

    Honestly, there are so many things most people don’t understand, but if I had to pick one, it would be this: karma is very, very real. People often live like whatever they’re doing, whether it’s hurting someone, being dishonest, or taking shortcuts, won’t come back to them. But I truly believe jo karam karoge, wahi…
