Your pain matters!
Your distress is understandable.Even if “worse” has been experienced by others.Even if someone else who has had the same experience does not find it to be crippling.It “could have been averted,” even though it “could have been avoided.”Even if it occurred many years ago.Even if no one else is aware.Your experience is real and genuine, […]

Passion Crimes!
Anita Kapoor, an elementary education major at Ahmedabad University was 18 years old. To support herself and move from her family’s house an hour away, she took two jobs, one at a hotel front desk and the other in retail. Anita had a two-bedroom apartment near university with Neha Rai, her roommate (19). Neha and […]

Beginner!
Allow yourself the luxury of being a novice.Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone who is truly exceptional at what they do was once a novice who struggled.And you’re free to do so.You are permitted to be a person who does not yet possess all of the answers.It’s okay to be flawed, to make errors, and to […]

Starry nights!
I was 21 when I first had a conscious crush on a female. We can track fascinations and extremely tight transitory friendships back in time and discuss whether or not they were crushes, but that’s not what we’re concentrating on right now. “I want to kiss her in real life,” I thought for the first […]

Take care!
To be valuable, you don’t have to be productive.Increasing your workload does not make you better, smarter, or more useful. Taking a break isn’t the same as being lazy. It gives you a sense of humanity. No one can work indefinitely without wanting to take a break.Nobody is always moving, doing, and producing.Everyone requires quiet […]

Toxic relationships!
Toxic relationships will alter your perspective on love. They will obliterate the distinctions between right and wrong, acceptable and unacceptable.When you’ve been in a toxic relationship for a long time, you’ll justify everything that goes wrong. In order to match your story, you’ll distort reality. You could consider jealousy to be charming. Screaming may appear […]

Chewing Gum!
Sexual assault is a trigger warning.There is no sex education in any Indian school.You attend a meeting where the speaker asks, “Who wants it?” while holding out a stick of gum.Of course, everyone does. Gum is a highly sought-after illicit drug and black-market cash.The speaker eats the gum, spits it into his fingers, and then […]

HOW?
There’s a very specific method I like to use when I’m trying to decide whether or not someone’s worth dating. First, I sit down and think – long and hard – about every single trait that I desire in a potential partner. I debate the pros and cons of various possible professions. I determine the importance of […]

A strong woman leads a strong daughter!
When you have a strong mother, you realize you don’t need a man to find happiness. You realize that any girl can flourish on her own, without a hand to hold. You realize that your love life has zero correlation with how successful you become, with how fulfilled you feel. When you have a strong mother, you learn to […]

Date someone!
Date someone who pulls forth your greatest qualities.There’s more to it than good manners, compassion, or development and learning.However, the one who teaches you how to begin living.Even if everyone else thinks it’s weird, it makes sense to you.Date someone who encourages you to accomplish things you’re afraid of.Even if they are the only one […]

Where does love come from?
There are songs in this world that feel like love. They are slowed and warm, as though they are suddenly playing inside your belly. The sound goes deeper as the butterflies inside you carry them up and down, creating a storm of uncertain warm feelings called love. At that moment, even if you don’t have […]

I can promise to love you with every broken piece
It seems so simple and so easy, just love hard and it will all work out. Just give it your best. Just hold nothing back. Be brave. Be vulnerable. And everything will work out for you. But you know that isn’t always the case sometimes. Because sometimes you can love someone with everything you have, […]

Alone
You’ve heard the lie that solitude is losing. That empty-handed is never what you want to be, because those who go at life solo are broken. They don’t fit. They don’t function. They aren’t whole. And maybe you feel that way sometimes. You sit in muted light and wonder when the day will feel full […]

Maybe it’s time to change!
I am writing as a cis-gendered white female; I am writing as someone who is aware of their social and economic privilege; I am writing as someone who is blessed to have a supportive and loving circle of family and friends. I happen to fit into the margins of what society deems ‘acceptable’, and for […]

I know who I am!
In stories there are clear lines drawn to define characters and circumstances;illustrate and demonstratewhat they are, and what they are not.The audience often has a good sense of what’s what. Real life, however, is nuanced and enigmatic;lines are blurred and confusing,circumstances are ambiguous and inconclusive,people are ever-changing. Maybe that’s why we’re all so anxious.Maybe that’s […]
-
This is why!
It doesn’t matter whether you were officially in a relationship with her. The fact that you flirted with her was enough. The fact that you gave her attention was enough. The second that you smiled at her, it was all over. She was locked on you. Attached to the idea of you. It’s not because she’s shallow. […]
-
Something about her!
She likes to overthink a lot, she likes to over analyze, she likes to walk when her chest aches.She likes kisses at midnights in the messages, and she gets quiet when she’s anxious. She takes pictures of just about everything, and she plays with her nails when she gets nervous. She is caring without a […]
-
Better!
To begin, I would like to state that I find your unbearable fascination with women like me honoring, truly. But I do believe that your obsessive tendencies have given me no other option rather than to intervene. Your obsession frightens me to the point where I am afraid to walk alone at night because I […]

Nice girl!
You don’t always have to be the nice girl. Not when it means accepting less than you deserve. Not when it means allowing others to walk over you. Not when it means sacrificing your own happiness to make the people around you more comfortable. Stop playing nice in order to keep the peace. Especially when […]
-
Too much!
It’s difficult being the girl who thinks “too much” in a world where logic trumps feelings. It’s a constant battle to either quiet your feelings or scare people away. We all do it, some more than others—we hide our hearts to protect them from shattering. We feel “I love you,” but say “that’s great.” We […]

Love Story
My friends thought I was crazy when I hired Swara as our new babysitter. “She’s too hot,” they said. “She will bring wolves to your door,” another said. The “wolves” being other dads who would become enamored with her hypnotic beauty. My friends were not being hyperbolic. Hatvik would have wept over Swara’s perfect hip-to-waist […]

Sacha pyaar
Early on in the relationship, you might feel butterflies in your stomach. You might feel your heart skip a beat. You might get nervous at the thought of seeing this person again. But that feeling isn’t going to last. Eventually, you’re going to grow comfortable with your partner — and that’s okay. In fact, it’s […]

Can beauty be a curse?
My friends thought I was crazy when I hired Swara as our new babysitter. “She’s too hot,” they said. “She will bring wolves to your door,” another said.

Ussi ko chuno jo tumhe chune!
Pursuing a woman is an art of its own. Pursuing is underrated and easy to dismiss. Humans get into routines, we like what’s comfortable. Once you’ve been with the same person for a certain period of time everything becomes habitual. Every. Last. Thing. We don’t talk about the importance of being perused enough. We all […]

Pehle aap! Pehle aap!
You should say I love you first. And no, you should not be making excuses in your head. Sure, the situation could become awkward if he does not reciprocate your feelings. But those three simple words hold so much weight and meaning to him, and therefore, it is highly unlikely that he will walk away from you […]
-
Ek tarfa pyaar!
Leave if the love is one-sided, if you feel like you’re the only one putting energy into the relationship, the one coming to compromises, the one making sacrifices. Leave if you feel like you’re underappreciated or disrespected. Leave if it feels like the relationship is off-balance, like you are offering up so much more than […]

Samajdaar ko ishara kaafi!
When you’re younger, everything feels a little bit more emotionally heightened. That’s not to say once you get older your senses are suddenly dulled, but it’s just like more of a selective process that your heart has to decide what’s really worth getting worked up over. I think back to just a few years ago, […]

Zindagi… kaisi hai paheli!
As charming as life is, it gives us its endless lessons on matters of the heart. They’re sometimes bittersweet, but they’re always there to help us connect the dots. Among many lessons is our outlook and attitude towards the people who come in and out of our lives. We all have our share of people […]

Maybe it is what it is!
We’ve been on a rocky road. Ever since we’ve started talking, it’s been a rocky road. You weren’t like anyone else. You were different than anyone I’ve ever met. You ARE different than anyone in this universe. We have our ups and downs and it’s completely crazy—there’s pure insanity. I’m far from perfect, you’re far […]

Body vs Soul!
Exhausted isn’t just enough to describe the state I am going through right now. I am exhausted yes, this tiredness is beyond physiological tiredness. It’s psychological, it’s emotional. I am tired of being strong. I am tired of trying to put on that smile on my face every day of a strong man and be […]

Wonder Women
I don’t know a lot about superheroes. I’m a lazy reader, so I watch the movies. What I do know is that Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and She-Hulk are, in fact, women. Amazing women saving the universe and our humanity. Being a woman is hard work, with or without super powers or awesome kick-assery skills. Do they deal with the same […]

When you’re toxic!
Laura had been avoiding me for weeks. Whenever I saw her, she made up lame excuses for why she hadn’t returned my calls, and I was getting more and more frustrated. She had been my closest friend, yet here she was, being evasive and weird. Finally, I confronted her. “Can we just talk?” I said quietly, […]

To lakes and you!
I took a walk along the eastern lakeshore this morning. The one with a view that glitters in the daylight and splashes in melodies at night. And it made me think about how beautiful nature and the water’s magical combination truly is. It’s a symbol of inspiring love. Each morning, the lake basks in its love of the sun’s warmth. Its […]

Toxic relationship!
We can very easily mistake attachment for love. We can very easily mistake gripping, and clasping at a relationship for fighting for it, for caring in ways most don’t these days. But that can often mean that we’re fostering an unhealthy attachment. Attachment speaks to trying to keep something in your life from a place […]

This is the new loneliness!
It’s a weekday evening and you’re feeling restless. You’re texting friends and you’re watching Netflix and you’re on your laptop and you’re scrolling through Tumblr or Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. Your attention is in ten different directions, yet there’s a tug, a tiny voice in the back of your mind. It asks: what are you […]

Don’t ignore the red flags!
I’m slowly learning that ignoring the red flags you see in the beginning is probably the worst thing you could do to yourself because they never turn green and they never change. I’m slowly learning that the old cliche that the red flags you see in the beginning become the reasons you leave later is […]

Don’t stop investing in yourself!
I hope you never stop investing in yourself no matter who you’re with or how much you’re loved or how much you’ve accomplished. I hope you don’t suppress your needs or desires because you’re afraid of how people will perceive you or how they’ll judge you. I hope you can always be enough for yourself […]

Who hurt you?
Someone once asked me Bright eyes full of concern “Who hurt you?” I only wish I could have told them, that would be the kind of pain I long for I have dealt in the currency of broken hearts ever since I realized I had one That is the pain I know how to break […]

The girl with a sunflower!
“Bang!” We heard something loud and stopped dead in our tracks. Could we have just heard what we thought we heard? We waited a moment and listened, then continued ahead on our trek through the woods. We had been there many times before. Not this particular place, but it felt familiar, for we had been […]

How to be your own best friend
Seneca wrote, “What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.” I have wrestled with this idea for quite some time now because this thought is incredibly subjective, and so everyone has their own opinion of what it means to be a friend to yourself. Until recently, I really struggled […]

The Constellations!
God, Goddess, Creator, Mother Nature, Universe? I am unsure of who created me. Who took the stars, crushed them into fine powder, and poured them into this vessel. Who took the clay of the planets and molded me into this imperfect being, filled with the magic of the universe. Who put the twinkle of the […]

When you can’t find the words!
I’m wrapped up in my blanket that feels like a cloud holding me close. The soft glow of my crystal lamp gives off enough light to see my words, but it’s intimate enough that I don’t feel exposed. The pen strokes are furiously outside the lines, and it’s unsettling not having any reason or rhythm […]

You’re a beautifully wild thing!
There are boyswho are going to promise youforevers in song,in poetry,in words that are just so damned prettythey will be hard to resist. You’re their dream girl.Beautiful, strong, independent.Forever, they sigh, forever. But their forevers comewith hidden terms and conditions, their love is a secret contract,with addendum and asterisks. Forever is onlyuntil you start dreaming […]

How important are your intuitions!
We are in the midst of an important change for all of humanity. In the past few months, the coronavirus pandemic has affected our lives in unprecedented ways. We have been forced to reconsider how we interact with others and isolate ourselves in our own homes. There’s still a lot to learn, but it’s heart-warming […]

The late train!
Many a sleepless night, I lie there in the darkness, eyes open wideLost in a myriad of thoughts, I wander aimlessly, searching for a ride A colossal light appears in the horizon, thundering towards me like a mighty juggernautIt approaches hastily still, I recognize it, my late night train of thought Rain starts to pour […]

Please understand!
You are each beautiful, tragically so. You are the sum of your parts, but in that you are a striking testament to your story. Your scars. Your lines. Your curves. Dimples where skin hangs just slightly sallow over bones, and freckles where maybe you wish they weren’t. But you are as beautiful as you are […]

The earth woman!
The earth woman journeys to the underworld. She is where lifeforms begin to evolve into pure connection. She is the sheltered places we rest our heads at night — the cradle of nature and of life. She is the peacemaker, the builder, the mother, the musician, the analyst, the minister, and the nurturer who incorporates her […]

Why female friendships help you?
I call myself a Feminist because I’m one, and I’m ready for all the criticism building up in your head, from the moment you read the title, because I’m really being an asshole discriminating against men. But well, I’m just going to talk about my personal experiences, and I strongly believe, that despite fighting for […]

Maybe you need a break!
Some girls are always running around, trying to get shit done. They have a million things on their plate because they hate saying no to an opportunity, no to a friend in need, no to the chance to have some fun. Stressed out girls are trying their hardest to balance their social lives and careers, […]

Ever fallen in love with a ghost?
Our only reach was for the glass of hope that was centered between us. Parched of connection, we thirstily and desperately extended our tired hands, at first for each other and then for nothing. This is what it’s like to love a ghost. Our promised “could-be’s” pooled at the base of our icy foundations. We […]

Maybe LOVE!
How do you define love? A chemical reaction? Deep feelings of attachment, affection, and need. Dramatic, sudden feelings of attraction and respect? Sometimes you fill journals trying to define love, but the answer was on the first page. Maybe love is a fleeting emotion of care and affection. Maybe a soulmate is a moment in […]

Can you see it in my eyes???
How someone behaves when they’re in love, varies from person to person. Every person has their own way of showing that they care about you. But I don’t feel like doing stuff for someone anymore, I have become very numb and shallow when it comes to showing love. Whatever I invested in my last relationship, […]

The importance of loving with all your heart!
To the women I have once loved, and to the one I love now: If you could see yourself through my eyes, you would know how amazing you are. When I love, I love hard. It is who I am, and it is something I cannot change. My joke is that I am searching for the doctor […]

Right now, you are my everything!

Goodbye!
Goodbye, my best friend.Goodbye, best friend I ever had. I know what we had wasn’t perfect,I know what we had caused a lot of pain,I know what we had will largely be forgotten.And our memory will just be a name.

Set them free!
There are some ghosts that simply don’t seem to want to leave. They have made a home in the between; feeling at home in the attic or basement with the other pieces of history. Comfortable among the cobwebs. Settled in the still air. Delighted in the darkness. One may visit them from time to time […]

I don’t wanna be a stranger anymore!

Are you one of them? Do you believe things will get better or will they repeat the same pattern as before? Who will […]

I never had.But […]

Stages of Infatuation!
First-ever romantic gestures strung up on display for the world to see, strangers become witnesses to pleasant uncertainty. Not wanting to confuse kindness for interest, the mind wanders. Flowers die in winter; how could she ever know this could possibly bloom? My mind gone, yet my body present. Seemingly mundane movements leave me breathless. I […]

Watch me go!
I saw you last night. First time since I “broke your heart.” You called. I answered. Your voice crackling with desperation, begging to see me. No part of me wanted you. Still, I went. Two a.m. love. Actually, not love. Artificial connection. Sex. I wanted to be touched, but not by you. I don’t regret […]

Let it hurt!
They say, Let it hurt then let it go. I think you should know… I never let it go. So free, but always running. Restricted those lies to myself. Pulled back the curtains and allowed sunlight in, only to close them once more. I cannot remain true to myself while constantly pretending I was alright. […]

Is this love?
One day, someday, today, the light will come. It creeps up, the crawling dawn sleepily lolling over the horizon. The light is gentle and warm and glowing, dripping; melted ice cream across the window pane. Can you fall in love with the way early morning light presses into bookshelves, spreading warmth into cold corners of the room? […]

I hope you never stop!
I hope you never stop believing in love. Even when your heart is broken, and your trust is shattered, and you have a sadness that seeps into your blood and rests within your bones, I hope you continue to fight for love. To be open to receiving love. To continue to believe in love. I know it’s […]

Castles in the sky!
I always wondered what it would be like, playing house with the person you love. Our imagination works to create a fairytale like the ones we grew up reading. My mind painted a picture of white duvets and breakfasts in bed, where we talk about the lives we’d lead if we were just a bit younger […]

It sleeps!
I sleep, and the sickness sleeps with me. It curls up safely inside me, making itself right at home. I wake, and the sickness wakes with me. keeping me company in every motion, every inhale, every exhale. the sickness is a sucker for theatrics. It drowns me in discomfort, it torments my body at every […]

You deserve someone who decides to do more than just staying!
I am tired of hearing we deserve someone that stays. We deserve more than that. I have been a witness to many relationships where partners had no intention of leaving but we are worthy of a love that is more than taking up residence on the other side of the bed, more than having a body on the other side […]

My daughter is not ours!
I’ve never been much of a man. I barely crack 5’6”, can’t handle my liquor, and I’ve never been in a fight in my life—but when Lainie got pregnant, I decided it was time for a change. I started working out. I learned how to change the oil and tires on the Buick. Hell, I […]

Learn to love after trauma!
It’s hard to imagine that there might be other people who have endured trauma and might be experiencing similar roadblocks as mine.

We deserved better timing. You deserved a better name than The One That Got Away. Our connection held a magnitude far beyond that cliché. It was kinetic – the kind you felt in the atoms that held the space between your skin and mine. I mistakenly began to live in the book of you and I, not realizing […]

Losing Originality
People accept us for what they want us to be, And not for what we really are. The result: we try to possess Qualities desired by others So as to be appreciated by them, Thus, losing originality of ourselves.

I think my daughter is killing people!
I’m 90 kilos (down from 120 during my years as a starting lineman at Gujarat State), 6’4” when I slouch, and used to getting what I want from people. It’s been an adjustment accepting just how weak that Kiara – all 26 kilos of her – can make me feel. I know that I’m not […]
