All I could ever want in life is you!
And all I ever dream about is you. You are the one who dominates my waking moments and even nights in my sleep. You are the one I wake up for, and I always want to get up in the morning to catch a glimpse of you or even just hear your voice. And all […]

Weird Netflix!
Like most people, I haven’t been leaving my house because of the pandemic. I’ve been spending most of my weekends watching Netflix from the safety of my own home. Of course, 2020 sucks, so I can’t even enjoy movies anymore. The other day, when I opened up Netflix on my laptop, it took me to […]

Those weren’t your words!
It’s late. Too late. The evidence is sprawled across my lap, meanwhile you’re sound asleep on anything but a guilty conscience. Dawn is just on the horizon, the confines of this room painted with an all too familiar blue glow as the walls close in. It’s quiet. Too quiet. If you listen closely, you may […]

For everyone who left!
When someone makes a decision that directly affects you but doesn’t involve you, it says more about their character and less about what you are worth. If I could do one thing for someone today, it would be to heal the wounds that they decided not to. Writing about loss is devastating. Every time I […]

For a change, try to be kind!
In a world trying to make you believe that it’s better to be an asshole, be nice. Be considerate. Be compassionate. Be the bigger person. Be tolerant. Be stronger than your heartbreak, your past and your pain. Be someone who knows how to love no matter how many times love has failed you. Be someone who […]

There’s never a timeline for anything!
Maybe you’re not where you want to be at 20 or 30 or 40 because God is teaching you that you can’t keep living your life according to what society is expecting, or what your parents are expecting or what you are expecting. Maybe the lesson is to let go all of the expectations, let go of […]

A story about learning to be soft!
“You’re just too sensitive.” “Don’t take it so personally.” “You have to toughen up.” I spent my entire childhood as the object of statements like this. I was a highly sensitive child before “highly sensitive” was a commonly understood concept. The people who made these comments didn’t mean them as criticism; they thought they were […]

Can your boyfriend rape you?
(Based on a real ordeal) Consent can be given. And consent can be taken away. It doesn’t make you a tease. It doesn’t make you a bad girlfriend. It makes you a person with consistently shifting thoughts and opinions. I didn’t lose my virginity until college, and even though I was old enough to know […]

I write this to you
My love, I thank you for giving me a reason to write these words down to make sense of how I feel—to allow them a proper space to breathe, to grant me a safe place to heal, and to capture the wild truth that breaks through my unconditional love for you. I now know that […]

Stop waiting for the right moment to turn it around!
Many of us keep waiting for a magical moment to happen, which we believe will somehow turn our lives upside down and change it into what we have always dreamed of. Some think that this turning point might be a solo trip around the world for a few months or a huge life event that […]

When the right one comes at the right time!
I used to fight my own battles silently, and it was never easy for me. People thought I was doing well all along because I was just smiling most of the time. Little did they know that almost every night, I just cried myself to sleep. I kept wondering where it all went wrong. I […]

RUINS!
‘Loving people doesn’t save them.Love doesn’t heal. It isn’t a miracle.It’s just a chemical reaction designed to elate youfor a while.And like all the chemical reactions, it’s perilous.’ This past week I stumbled upon a book called RUINS. Ruins is a collection of 30 poems – poems that will hit you like a bullet and […]

Good Guys!
Everyone warned me about the bad guys, but no one actually warned me about the good guys. No one warned about the ones who hold doors for you and pull chairs out for you. The ones who always know the right words to say. The polite and decent ones. Basically the ones that you would […]

That helpful girl!
I used to read on the subway. Now I can’t think with the hoard of passengers, coming and going. Their movements distract me. Since the drinking started, the morning world does not allow for concentration. Today, the hangover is bad, and every leg that brushes mine brings on a wave of nausea. Every voice is garbled in […]

You can’t kill someone who’s already dead!
Don’t you dare tell me that there are lots of kids who look the same. Don’t pretend this is some sort of funny coincidence either, like the kindergarten teacher does. I’d know my baby girl anywhere. I know the way her hair smells, and how her soft little hands feel in mine. I know her […]

That damned smile!
There are a lot of things about that summer that I don’t remember, but I can clearly recall the golden sunlight filtering through the diagonal, green leaflets and falling like glittering rain onto the floor of dirt and fallen limbs. The sharp, rusted edges of discarded metal cans would glint into sparkles with the precipitation […]

When I met my doppleganger!
Have you ever blocked an ex? I blocked all of them. Facebook, phone numbers, the whole nine yards. When my wife and I got engaged, it was time to give up my guilty pleasure of stalking exes… no matter how much joy I got from seeing Mia chronically unemployed, or Riya dating a man double […]

The man who saw rainbows!
Rajveer Singh, a house inspector from Mumbai, was a simple man with a nose that was just a tad too large and lumpy for his face. Rajveer took life easy and avoided going to extremes. He’d always heard that all good news also brought bad news, and that if every cloud had a silver lining, […]

You won’t find forgiveness here!
You’ve made a lot of stupid decisions in your life, but hurting me was probably one of the worst. For the last three years, you’ve been able to lean on me when you’ve needed too. When all else fails and shit hits the fan in your life, you call me. Without questions asked, I come […]

My addiction!
October 27th. Festival of lights. Somewhere in India. I wish I could tell you the destination, but I can’t remember much after escaping the retreat in Rishikesh. And when I say escaping I mean following Mary, blinded by Mary, Fucking Mary. She was everything that I loathed in myself and more. A beautifully fucked-up mess […]

My friend came from Mumbai and brought a spirit with her!
My best friend believes in spiritual mumbo jumbo like tarot cards and psychic readings and cleansing the house with sage. Despite our vastly differently beliefs, when she asked if she could stay at my place for a week, I immediately said yes. “Are you sure?” she asked. “It’s okay if you say no. I still […]

Never look at the woman in the woods!
“What kind of snack do you want?” Tanya asked her 4-year-old son Dhruv. It was 10:00 AM on a Tuesday. Dhruv ran into the kitchen at the mention of a snack. “Cookies?” he asked excitedly. “No, something healthy. You can have cookies if you eat all your lunch.” “Okay,” Dhruv said, defeated. “Apples?” “Apples it […]

I will never break my new year resolution!
Every year, I make the exact same resolution. To join a gym and exercise every single morning. Of course, it never sticks. I make it and break it, make it and break it. The cycle eternally repeats itself. But last year, something changed. In the middle of December, I went to the annual Christmas party […]

Sketchy Paint Party!
I’ve been crushing on a girl at work for a while. When she finally made a move and invited me to a paint party, I jumped at the chance. I assumed it was one of those paint nights where you sip wine while an instructor teaches you how to paint mountains with a sun in […]

Gray!
Ten years ago my family and I went on vacation to a beautiful well known chain of islands. It was Halloween back in the states but instead of fall colors and chilly winds we enjoyed hot days and blue skies. It seemed like any other day on the island, I had forgotten all about the […]

Think twice, think wise!
“One more, come on Tanvi, just one more!” I glowered at Niki as she grabbed two more Budweiser cans from the bartender’s hand. “Niki, seriously? I have already had three beers in the past hour, you know I have to drive.” She beamed back at me as she took a swig of the liquid courage. […]

That painting!
I was excited to finally get a job for the summer. At 16 with no work experience, getting even a cashier position was hard. I found the family on a website that staffed professional babysitters. I was to watch a 10-year-old boy named Dhaval. His parents were leaving for the weekend on a mini-vacation and […]

Why I got my flat for a cheaper rate!
It was not until I leaned my ear against the wall that I heard the screams. I had moved to Ernakullam for a fresh start. I had just been hired as a journalist for the local newspaper and I was ecstatic. I had finally made it. I graduated university and I had my life together […]

That rooftop view!
The view from the rooftop was beautiful. The city line stretched across the horizon gradually fading into a misty blur of the cloudy sky. I breathed in the cool scent of September air. The trees were slowly shedding their old skin, dropping leaves to the floor as they turned yellow. This place looked familiar, I […]

I will never go to the lake again (Part 2)!
Sofia and I pressed against the thick bark of the tree. I heard the sound of something wet and heavy moving around the rocks of the beach. I imagined something like a massive walrus, dripping and fat, searching for us. The flashlight had fallen still aimed in our direction and suddenly, it went dark. There […]

I will never go to the lake again (Part 1)!
When I was younger, there wasn’t anything I liked more than visiting my grandparents at their cottage on a lake in Surat. Years later I can still smell the fresh-fallen rain on their patio and taste the buttered corn on the cob from their grill. While they’ve since moved to a retirement village in Bharuch, […]

If she’s not your 1st choice, let her go!
If she’s not your first choice, don’t waste her time. Don’t treat her like she’s second-best. Don’t chase her if she’s not the one you truly want to be with. Don’t play games just so you can get over someone who never loved you or someone who abandoned you. If she’s not your first choice, […]

The girl at the bar!
My friend Karan fell in love with a girl who painted. He said they met at a bar somewhere in Bandra. A quiet basement place run by an old guy who liked jazz and drank whiskey. Karan said her watercolor paintings expressed a feeling he didn’t have words for. Something like a blend of nostalgia, […]

I hate to see that smiling face in the mirror!
It’s no secret that I drink. My friends will make jokes like “your idea of a balanced diet is a beer in both hands.” I’ll laugh with them, but I don’t miss their pitying smirks. When I’m out, I’m out to have a good time though, and when I’m in… well, either way, it feels […]

Sparkles!
“We’re gonna be okay,” Anna said. “Maybe you are,” said Caroline. “But I won’t.” “You will. Trust me. We’re both going to be okay.” Anna paused, looked up at the night sky, and sighed. “It just might not feel like it, right now,” she added. Caroline looked at the ground. The sun had set an hour ago, […]

I do! (part 2)
“I do,” said Divine, the woman in the white dress, eyes glaring at the priest who had just torn a hole in her world, her heart. It was an “I do,” but it was really a Fuck You. A fuck you to Gus, to the fucking white dress, to her fucking fiancé, to the fucking […]

To the men who support women!
To the moms who do it all, the ones pushing a cart through DMart with more kids then arms, the ones surviving in between the hours of coffee and wine, they acknowledge each other, they lock eyes and nod in some secret glance of solidarity. We have learned to praise moms in every stage of the […]

I do!
(THIS IS A 2 PART FICTION SERIES… 2ND PART COMES OUT IN 2 DAYS’ TIME) “Please be seated,” the priest said. The congregation obeyed with a discernible, rumble; women fixing dresses, men unbuttoning jackets if they were wearing one. Many weren’t. A collective, agitated hush filled the church. Watches examined. Looks of blank stupidity assumed. […]

Ghosting
It can take days to get the hint. Ghosting is the king of all unpredictable behaviors — you never really expect to find it on the menu. Usually, it happens completely out of the blue. As far as you can tell, your latest coffee date with Bob was great. You walked around for hours, admired […]

New year. Same Asshole!
Every year we’re faced with a New Year beginning and we’re expected to make resolutions of how we plan on bettering ourselves in the upcoming year. Why? What’s wrong with who we are? It’s always the same thing. “2018 kicked my ass.” Or “2017 was a rough year.” Or “I’m going to make 2019 the […]

Raghini was here!
Raghini Singh was impossible to forget. I remember everything about her, from the flicker of her laughter to the way she rolled her eyes when she was being teased. She was an enigma. Nothing seemed to bother her. And even after three years, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that my sister is […]

We didn’t belong together but it was worth the experience!
We didn’t belong together, so you should focus your energy on the beautiful future that’s awaiting you instead of worrying about the past that you were forced to leave behind. There’s nothing wrong with replaying beautiful memories in your head and being thankful for the time you spent together, but you need to remember missing […]

Today I finally stepped out!
Today I opened my window. Nobody warns you when you’re diagnosed with depression, or any other mental illness, how difficult some small tasks can be. Watering the plants is draining when you don’t have the motivation to keep yourself alive. Cooking a meal is a chore you don’t have energy for when you’d rather lay […]

Maybe all you need is you!
Maybe you don’t need a reinvention. Maybe you don’t need to change your life. Maybe you are not seven steps, a move, a job, a goal, a relationship away from the person you’re meant to be. Maybe you’re not being held back by what you don’t have, but by not appreciating what you already do. […]
-
Reasons why I love you!
If I could describe all the reasons why I love you, I would be sad. I would be sad because I don’t want to know them all. There are reasons that are fine and can only be understood by those observing our love. There are reasons that come up in my dreams. There are reasons […]

What was it?
The first thing you should know about me is that I’m an extremely anal packer. I spent the better part of a day planning and organizing and neatly folding my clothes so that I could travel light, with just my small pink carry on. Two people at the airport, upon discovering I was going to […]

Citylights!
You would assume a normal night routine for a high school student consists of homework, showering, shutting your light, closing your blinds, and going to sleep. Not me. When I lived at home, every night, around 11 p.m., my mother walked into my room to say goodnight and attempted to close my window shades. I […]

Why cheat?

I hope the next guy loves you better!
I didn’t know how to tell you that I was no longer in love with you. I didn’t want to break your heart. So, I ended it with you. It was easier breaking mine than putting you through it. Your heart is so pure and innocent, and mine is so cold. I have felt heartbreak […]

New year, new opportunities!
In the new year, try not to stick to a timeline. It’s healthy to set goals for yourself — but don’t beat yourself up when you aren’t able to accomplish them as quickly as you hoped. Don’t feel like a failure when your journey is taking a little bit longer than you originally planned. Remember, […]

You are still alive!
I tell stories about you all the time. Sometimes, I remember to use the past tense — that was your favorite drink, that was the song you loved to dance to, that was the type of car you drove. But sometimes, it slips my mind and I speak in present tense. I still refer to your house as your house, even though […]

Sometimes, all you need is a little break!
Even though you might feel like you cannot afford to rest, even though there is a lot of pressure being put on you, even though you want to spend your time making productive leaps toward your dreams, you cannot keep moving until you collapse. You are allowed to slow down. You are allowed to take […]

Choose me everyday or don’t choose me at all!
I am not the kind of guy who can ever be with you knowing that I’m simply an option. I’m a priority. Important. Not just a choice, but your first choice. I give a love that I expect to have reciprocated and if I don’t see it coming my way, I don’t see the point. Which is why to […]

To that version of myself that I failed to find a long time ago!
Do you ever want better? To feel good, comfortable in your own skin, taken back by your self-worth, confident in knowing you are growing into the person you always imagined yourself to be. Better knowing that you are real, you are alive, you are you, and that’s okay, it’s enough. Diving head first into your […]

Believe me – You will be happy again!
How much does it really mean to hear someone say you will be happy again when you are in the throes of total misery? It always feels like an empty promise that brighter days are ahead when you can’t even remember the last time you even felt okay. There’s probably a small part of you […]

Without pain … there is no joy!
(Merry Christmas) In a world inundated by chaos and pain, faith and optimism can seem unsustainable. But there is one major and often overlooked silver lining to all the dread we’ve grown accustomed to. And that is simply the reminder that a light cannot exist without its shadow, just as dawn cannot shimmer over the […]

How to let go off things that no longer serve you!
Throughout our lives, we are constantly growing and evolving. We are constantly shifting and changing through our experiences, while constantly learning more about who we are and who it is we ultimately want to become. However, in doing so, there will inevitably be things and people that once served us that now don’t align with […]

When you don’t need them but you want them!
Need is often viewed as a negative feeling. To tell someone we need them is to place too much responsibility on their shoulders. To tell someone we need them is to give them too much power over us. When we think we need a person in order to be happy, to survive, is it really […]
-
Instead of satisfying your ego, make a deal with it!
Let’s start with the fact that your Ego is highly overprotective – destined to keep you safe, dull, and cautious. Its sense of control is contagious. It will do anything to sabotage your happiness, good mood, and kill your positive vibes every time you give in. It’s by nature louder and has a persuasive tone. Because it will call upon an egocentric […]
-
If you’re not uncomfortable, you aren’t doing it right!
According to psychological research, putting yourself in new and unfamiliar situations triggers a unique part of the brain that releases dopamine, nature’s make-you-happy chemical. This unique region of the brain is only activated when we see or experience completely new things. In other words: we only grow when we seek the unfamiliar, the unknown, the uncomfortable. […]

You’re the writer of your own story!
(Dedicated to someone special <3)You were not born into this world to fit the missing piece of someone else’s puzzle. You did not arrive in this life for someone to write your life story and sit back and watch how the story ends. You are here to shake shit up. You exist to add your […]

What happens when you listen to your soul and not the society!
Who would you be if you could shut out the opinions and judgements of the world? If you were truly comfortable in your own skin? How would you live if social media didn’t exist? If you only lived by your own standards? Oh wait, you can. I was born with a spirit that was free, rebellious, […]

The unedited truth about finding happiness!
You see, one day—whether that being in a couple of weeks or a few months or even years—you are going to come to the realization that happiness will never be found within your job. It will never be found in how much money you make or how big your house is or in having the […]

Silence is the best revenge!
I know you want to write out a long, elaborate text explaining exactly why you’re upset with this other person. I know you want to show up at their door, screaming about how you cannot believe what they’ve done to you. I know you want to slash their tires, toss a drink at their face, […]

Forget being happy, learn to be free!
Somewhere inside our brains, we are hardwired to believe that happiness is some beautiful destination. We think that it’s right around the corner, and our whole lives are dedicated to finally arriving there. Happiness comes right after our next promotion, that new car we’ve been saving up for, or that pretty engagement ring on our finger. […]

Good men do exist!
(Based on a true story) As someone who grew up with all the male friendships ending with hurt, my faith in men was dwindling. I remember when I first saw you at work. In all honesty, with your blonde hair, blue eyes, and t-shirt with the logo from Marvel, I pegged you as a jerk. […]

How traveling helps really!

I will remember how you made me feel!
Weightless. That’s how you made me feel on the good days. I felt as if I was walking on air, each step lifting me higher than before. Nothing held me down, nothing limited my potential. You saw my potential as greater than I did, perhaps even greater than it really was. I shone from the […]

Girls will be girls!
Historically, we’ve pushed women into a matriarchal box that typically presumed women were made for the sole purpose of procreation. Labels assumed onto women were the opposition of parental and embryonic while men were attributed with primal strength and maturity. When in all actuality, all four descriptions can be accurate for both genders. Both genders can feel the desire to become a parent […]

It takes strength to block them!
It takes strength to block their number because it is more than an action. It is a symbol of goodbye. It represents you choosing to rise above your heartbreak.

Because I have sex on the first date, it doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings.
Sex is a very uncommon conversation topic in our society. There’s no wonder—it’s fun, exciting, romantic, ground-shaking, and so much more. It can be intimate, creating a special and unbreakable bond between two lovers, but it can also be an adventure, leading to discovering your wants and needs and everything in between. Many people choose […]

Chances are, you’ve had to bend a lot this year. You’ve had to curve your plans, adjust your life, twist your outlook, embrace detours, and turn new corners. So, have you given yourself credit for not breaking? This year has forced us to change the way we live, the way we think, and how we […]

Girl, I got you!
Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and we need some encouragement. This one’s for you. To the girl who feels invisible, understand that you’re not. Understand that someone’s lack of seeing you doesn’t mean you don’t exist. Understand that sometimes the people we think know us best, simply don’t know us at all. Understand […]

How to ruin your life without even noticing it!
Understand that life is not a straight line. Life is not a set timeline of milestones. It is okay if you don’t finish school, get married, find a job that supports you, have a family, make money, and live comfortably all by this age, or that age. It’s okay if you do, as long as you […]

Show off!
Do not hide your girlfriend away in your bedroom. Do not take her for fast food on date nights and drive her straight back to your bedroom instead of sitting down in restaurants where you risk being seen by other people. Do not avoid being seen with her in public because you are trying to […]

I’m not lost… I’m just enjoying the journey!
It was so important for me to know. It is just not the case anymore. When I was a little girl, I had a destination to get to. I had a timeline for what I wanted to achieve in my life. My dream was to get a graduate degree and get a high-paying job so […]

It’s your fault.
I need you to do me a favor. I need you to reflect on all the times our conversation became stale after I had been bubbling with excitement. I want you to reminisce all the times you ignored me for weeks or months and came back like nothing happened. Think long and hard about the […]

Heartbreak : A Love Story
(My tryst with FICTION again) Most love stories end in a proposal; this one begins with one. It felt as if I were in a dream. It was a nightmare. As I stared at the diamond ring in his hands, there was a sinking feeling in my gut and my skin squirmed around on my […]

It’s time to rebuild yourself!
I’ve always hated being vulnerable, whether that is people seeing me cry or just sharing my problems. But the older I get, the more I realize it’s not that I hated being vulnerable but that I was scared of it. I have always been the fixer, the one who will stay up listening to people’s […]

The unnoticed unsung heroes!
(Managed to get this article courtesy some teachers) I haven’t been a part of the college system for nearly a year, but I definitely haven’t forgotten my time spent in the classroom. I adored what I did, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see the teachers around me struggling not to collapse under […]

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 […]

Social Media Mafia.
We live in a world of likes, a world where hearts and double-taps justify our stories, and a specific number of likes per post can confirm our appeal. Similarly, we’ve been groomed by social media to believe our follower count equates to our worth in the digital landscape. I’ve never prided myself in having a huge follower count […]

Maybe.
Maybe one day we could sit and talk about all the things that got broken between us. We could talk about how each one of us hurt the other. Maybe we could say all the things we couldn’t say to each other before. Maybe we could share how each one of us made the other feel. […]

The void.
I am learning that there is nothing to miss but your absence. I have to love you from a distance because you were never meant to be mine. I am learning that nostalgia from missing you doesn’t mean I want you back. As much as I wished you could have mine, you had to leave […]
-
I should have stayed.
I know what I said. I said that I don’t know what I feel. That it’s too much for me to handle. And that I don’t want you in my life. Yet you didn’t let me go. You were there for me regardless of how hard I pushed you away. You stayed put and fought […]

He is an asshole.
He’s not your almost boyfriend, not even your recently found or made bestfriend. He’s just an asshole who picks and chooses when he wants to acknowledge your existence. He glances at your texts and ignores them for weeks, then lays the flirting on thick when he actually decides to answer you because he doesn’t want […]

Different people, Different Journeys!
You are exactly where you are meant to be, and I don’t just mean figuratively. I mean that the place that you are sitting, the air that you are breathing, and the life that you are living. This is meant for you, and you are not behind or late or in the wrong place. You […]

She was meant to leave.
Some people aren’t meant to stay in your life after a certain point. Some people are meant to leave by a certain date because that’s when their lesson is due. That’s when they teach you something new or the same old lesson that you’ve been resisting. The same lesson you don’t want to learn. Some […]

The girl who was like sunshine.
She was a glimpse of sunshine peeking behind the clouds on a cool fall day, not enough to create lasting heat, but enough to make you smile and pause as the warmth spread across your face. People knew she was not brave enough to stay, so they cherished the times she would appear with the […]

Show your intentions.
No, I’m not talking about the popular Justin Bieber song that has been on repeat for the past few years. I’m talking about one’s intentions. What exactly are intentions? A word so simple yet many still have it confused and are unable to decipher what it truly means. “Be genuine with your intentions,” a phrase […]

I wish you could see yourself like I see you.
Has anyone ever taken the time to tell you that you are goddamn beautiful? Can I take a minute to say that you have a smile that can blow up a room like lightning in a rainstorm? You are magnetic, and anyone that gets near you is drawn to your absolute loveliness. I am so enamored by […]

If everything sucks rn, read this.
Sometimes everything sucks. It just does. You’re exhausted. You’re stressed. You’re down on yourself and you’re down on everyone else and nothing you’ve done has made you feel proud or excited or enthusiastic or even anything. Your greatest accomplishment has been emptying out your Netflix queue. Everything you write sucks. Everything you do sucks. You’ve resigned yourself […]

Why are people with trust issues hard to be with.
People with trust issues didn’t choose to be this way. They didn’t really have a say when they were abandoned by one of their parents or when their best friend betrayed them or when the love of their life cheated on them. They didn’t choose these stories for themselves but they had to deal with […]

Best thing about 2020.
This year has been nothing short of shocking. Everything as we know it changed and we’re all still trying to figure out how to handle it or how to adapt to the ‘new normal.’ But aside from everything, this year has also been eye-opening in plenty of ways. It has revealed a lot of truths […]

Shine despite the darkness.
Don’t let it make you forget. Don’t let it consume you when it overwhelms you. No matter how dark the world gets, it can never steal your light. That untapped yellow light within your heart? No matter how dim the darkness makes it seem, it can never completely fade away. As long as there is breath in your lungs, […]

Goodbye.
This is me saying goodbye to modern dating; this is me saying goodbye to that rush of adrenaline when someone decides to swipe right on my perfectly selected photographs, this is me saying goodbye to awful chat-up lines, sleazy intro messages and small talk about what I do for a living. This is me saying […]

Love is scary but we do it anyways.
Love is scary, but we do it anyway. We do it because we have beating hearts that are made to do exactly what we are afraid of. We do it because we are created to follow our fear, we are designed to look at it, unravel it, make friends with it, and then take it […]

Love me fully or don’t love me at all.
Please love me fully or don’t love me at all. I don’t need you to love me half-heartedly, because you will only give me the illusion that you are here to stay. Save me the pain and heartache if you don’t have the space to hold my love. Do yourself a favor and don’t fool […]

If I showed you my demons, will you stay?
Understanding and supporting your partner is an essential fact for a relationship to survive.They are scary, they are numbing, and they are real. So would you stay? If I told you about my past, my demons, and my darkness, would you do it? Would you love me anyway? Would you stay? This is the question […]

A reminder for you to leave the girl who can’t commit to you!
The most frustrating thing about dating is when you meet a girl who tells you all the beautiful adjectives that she knows of, but still makes you doubt if the words that are coming out of her lips are true. You find it hard to believe that a girl, who looks like someone from a […]

How does it feel to be cheated.
Meeting that person who gives you the attention that you’ve been longing for is very invigorating. The world seems brighter and the atmosphere seems charged with positive vibes. The air seems fresher and there’s more energy flowing through you. You even seem to have an extra pep in your step, all because this person is filling up your love tank that once […]

Moral Support
(Written by Rajvee Dedhia) Moral support is the basic mental health issue in people.

Humanity or Religion?
(Written by Hatvik Vora) Are they so blinded by religion they don’t see any humanity ? Have their beliefs turned into the absolute need to hope for better while doing nothing to make it better? Has their faith turned into the reason for chaos in their minds? While deciding which God to pray, shouldn’t people […]

Love yourself more than loving them.

Love & Telescopes.

An over thinker’s relationship

The beauty of heartbreaks.
When you’re deep in the midst of heartbreak, chances are that you feel pain somewhere in your body, probably in your chest or your stomach.It’s as if the heart’s accelerator and brakes are pushed simultaneously and those conflicting actions crash and create the sensation of heartbreak. But I’m here to tell you this: You are […]
