If you are lucky enough to find love, remember that it is there. Hold it gently. Don’t throw it away. Love doesn’t usually arrive with certainty. It comes quietly. It settles into your life through small, ordinary moments—shared silence, familiar laughter, the comfort of being known without having to explain yourself. And because it arrives…

Where Is Christmas?
Every year, the question shows up again. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a small wondering that drifts in sometime between the early decorations and the endless lists. Where is Christmas? The song asks it with innocence—almost like a child looking around a room that feels different than they expected. And maybe that’s why it stays…
Where Words Land
It’s a quiet ache many people carry but rarely talk about. You pour time, thought, and pieces of your heart into something you create — words, ideas, work that matters to you — and somehow, the people closest to your life are the last ones to notice. The last ones to read. The least likely…
Life Is A Book
Imagine reading a book with no way to turn back the page. No rereading a chapter. No flipping back to catch what you missed. No undo. How carefully would you read it? Life feels a lot like that. Not in a dramatic, everything-is-fragile way—but in a quiet, sobering one. Days move forward whether we’re ready…
If You’ve Found Your Way Here
Lately, I’ve noticed something quietly beautiful. Visitors from different countries finding their way to this little space of mine. Different places. Different stories. Different lives. Some of you pause on the homepage, just long enough to look around—like standing at the doorway of a house, unsure whether to step in or move on. And I…
Invisible Disease
When Your Body Starts Explaining What You’ve Been Feeling All Along There are moments in life when your body starts giving you answers before you even know the right questions to ask. For a while now, I’ve noticed things that didn’t feel quite “normal” — the kind of tired that sinks into your bones, the…
Some Stories End For A Reason
Sometimes we don’t realize it right away. We hold on, we rewrite chapters in our mind, we hope maybe the next page will make sense of the pain. But life has a way of quietly showing us the truth long before we’re ready to say it out loud. And the truth is, not every story…
The Things We Lose Without Knowing
It’s strange how easy it is to lose pieces of ourselves without even realizing it. One scroll at a time. One harmless reel after another. We laugh, we double-tap, we share — until little by little, the things that once made us uncomfortable start to feel normal. It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s subtle — almost…
The Heart’s Pages
I came to the realization that writing is my way of showing my heart’s pages to people who have never learned how to read. There are moments in life when spoken words simply fall short — when even the most sincere intentions cannot bridge the distance between what you feel and what others can understand….
You Don’t Have To…
You Don’t Have to Carry It Forever. Just because someone projected their hurt onto you doesn’t mean you have to carry it the rest of your life. Sometimes pain passes through people like a storm that doesn’t know where to land. It finds the closest heart—often the kindest one—and pours itself there. And before you…
