“I’d like to mend fences with you. Not because you are right and I am wrong. Nor because I am weak and you are strong…. Mending fences….such an easy thing to say but why is it so hard to do…? So, how do we mend fences? Who should go first? Is there ever such a…

What It Takes to {Be}long?
“How far will you go to belong?” A sense of belonging whether it is at work, school, church or anywhere else is probably one of the most assuring feelings one could ever have. It is the knowing that they do not consider you any different from the rest of the crowd. That feeling of being…
Living in an Abstract World
I dream of a world where we won’t get our superiority from the uncertainty of others. Where we don’t mistake kindness for weakness. Where we co-exist and not just exist. I always tell my husband and daughter that I was born in the wrong era. I am fascinated with everything old. I enjoy listening to…
{un}spoken
“You call me sensitive, but this is how I show my feelings. Since when is showing feelings not acceptable? The past few days have been challenging for me as far as writing is concerned. Not because I don’t want to write but rather because, I am blocking some part of me. You see, writing is…
Of Purpose & Being Real
“In the midst of what is new, exciting and beautiful….I prefer to see the bruise.” In the age of Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, selfies and the countless filters, applications and “instant” connections that can make us not only look good, feel good and perhaps better than anyone else…..I’ve lost myself.

I always think the good about people, especially of the ones I cared about or have known for quite a while. And I don’t just trust or love…
When It’s Time To Go
When I was younger, the talk of death terrified me. I find it such a morbid topic to talk about. At that time, I also dreaded looking at or seeing coffins. I’d skip the viewing because I’d rather remember the person while they were alive. But lately, the thought of death doesn’t scare me anymore….
As We See It
I’ve blogged several times how I love dandelions. And how most times, I see a wish instead of a weed. And it’s the truth. But then, there is also the reality that…a weed will always be a weed, an evil – evil, and a bad thing will always be a bad thing. Sometimes, you just…
Washed Away
I couldn’t see what was real, until time had washed away everything else. As I was looking out the window watching the rain, I caught a glimpse of myself in the side mirror. The rain dripping out the window makes it a little bit difficult for me to see my reflection fully. But…I like what…
Tunnel of Love
“People believe I Am what they see Me as, rather than what they do no not see. But I Am the Great unseen, not what I cause myself to be in any particular moment. In a sense, I am what I am not. It is from the Am-notness that I come, and to it I…
