Dear boys and men, As a girl, I might not completely understand what you go through, but as men, you too might not completely know the magnitude what we, as women, go through too. It’s really easy to think that one is superior because they’ve been told that they are that, from the beginning. It […]
x Read more xI’ve been thinking a lot about how is it that we’re free when everybody is just out to get each other down with them? There are just too many misconceptions about gender, too many instructions from this invisible voice of ‘society’ that screams and shouts at all of us to tell us how to live, […]
x Read more xIn my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. “Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”- The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I […]
x Read more x“You look beautiful today.” You must’ve said or heard that sometime in your life. But what is it really? A compliment to make someone feel good? A testament to their looks? No. Being beautiful runs deeper than your skin. It runs deeper than the visual appeal. It takes a lot to be beautiful. It isn’t […]
x Read more xWhere to live? YOUR PAST Every single day that ends becomes a part of our past, every minute that passes so quietly, so unnoticeably, while we idly fret and stare blankly at nothing at all, it’s all in the past.

x Read more xIt’s a funny word – “anymore.” I won’t love “anymore”. I won’t trust “anymore”. I won’t fight “anymore”. I won’t cry “anymore”. I won’t try “anymore”. I won’t lie “anymore”. I won’t be strong “anymore”. I won’t smile “anymore”. You must’ve said these sentences so many times throughout your life. It’s such a definitive word. […]
