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 […]

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 […]

Heyyy!!Its me Dhimahi.You know i was thinking about “New beginnings”! No wonder each day we have new beginning.Why I’m saying this? Because every day we wake up and world has new schedule, routine and prespective. Let’s not give example of world but it’s always YOU who is starting with new thing every day. Don’t you […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s 4:12 am now! The winds are blowing and my mind is flowing The noise of silence around me is so deep, that i forgot to weep Night is the time of alluring the beauty of moonlight, by escaping from real world of artificial Dimlight While discovering the true essence of being alone, I inwardly […]

Coz u promise not to fall Why listen to the past song,Where u don’t belong?U are being strong,Then why feel wrong? Intence and a beauty yourself,Why doubting your spell?When motivation is all u smell,Why focus that swell? Enduring pain..!What will u gain?A wise brain,Answered the heart sane! Oh honey, u gotta believeThere are no more […]

“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 […]

(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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I will lie awakeAnd lie for funAnd fake the way I hold youLet you fall for every empty word I say — Brand New I had a dream that you were cheating on me, she tells him. She opens the cabinet and finds a box of Irish Breakfast Tea. She knows she can lazily linger today. […]

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 […]

‘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 […]

Part 2 of the Trilogy! Part 1 here. If you haven’t seen Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile yet, it’s available on Netflix now. It stars Zac Efron as Ted Bundy and Lily Collins (❤️) as his long-term girlfriend, Liz Kendall. Ted was a serial killer. Don’t expect to go into the film seeing blood […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“Happy Birthday Maahi. I hope someone gets you the new phone I saw you looking at last week.” -Love X “Another year already. It seems like only yesterday I watched your mom dropping you off for high school. It’s been such a pleasure watching you grow up.”  -Love X “You should be more careful about […]

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 […]

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 […]

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’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 […]

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 […]

(Written by Alifya Cyclewala) To, My 50th date in 3 years, It’s been years since I have shared even a fragment of vibe with someone. And you might be overjoyed to know that we sync. We complete each others sentences and we laugh like we are kids and need no reason to be carefree. Our […]

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 […]

(Written by Alifya Cyclewala) To,The guy I am sleeping with, It’s been 1095 days since I have had someone feel my skin, and see me in my most vulnerable form, a form in which I am the most easy to manipulate and the form in which I am the most childish and free. It’s been […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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, […]

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, […]

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 […]

“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,” 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 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 […]

(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. […]

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 […]

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 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, 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 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 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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Are you wondering how to let go of someone you love after infidelity, after that certain someone has had an affair? Do you still love your person but are you unsure if you want to stay or let go of them in light of what they have done? Are you super confused and overwhelmed and […]

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 […]

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, […]

(Written by Anchal) I may have hurt youbut trust me i was just trying to hide the fact like i have hella feelings for you.I couldn’t look you in the eyebecause i was trying to hide the fear of losing you even when youre not mine.i chose not to say a word when you lleftbecause […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

(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 […]

(Written by Meera Botadra) Your happiness is what it costs!! If you don’t know sweetheart, let me just make it clear to you that your happiness is what it costs to my existence. Your happy face is the reason of thrill in my heart and ecstasy of others.You matter to me darling, just like credulous […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

(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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

(Hey readers, this is my 150th post… Please like and share) The cognitive ability to express complex emotions and experience deep feelings is something very unique to human beings and can be considered what sets us apart from not only other organisms on Earth but also technological artificial intelligence. With such a concept that is […]

(Written by Anchal) Hey you,I always wonder if you miss me or not, if you ever think about me or not. You did not tell me if you ever loved me or not. I still feel you had feelings for me. But I have no answer to the ultimate tragic question that “Where did those […]

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, […]

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. […]

(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. […]

(Written by Anchal) Is it my fault that I am a girl? Is it my fault that I want to be successful? Is it my fault that I need a tutor? Is it my fault that the best tutor was a male? Is it my fault that I hate all the men because of 1 […]

It is a fact that most of us will stay in one place for the rest of our lives. Some of us never leave the town we grew up in nor are we really exposed to a diverse community. What happens then is that the world is small to you and you are isolated and […]

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 […]

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 […]

(Written by anonymous) LIFE To read “LIFE” may just seem to be a collection of letters more precisely just “4” letters, but these “4 letters” come along with a lot of meaning to it. It is a whole lot of a roller coaster ride wherein we face a lot of ups and downs, highs and […]

(Written by Jhalak) why to overthink a situation? why to harm yourself? why to cry over a failed relationship? why to have sex for your frustration? why to get an addiction of smoking and liquor? apparently the “WHY” list won’t stop but you can cheer yourself by remembering the fisrt time; when your childhood friend […]

(Written by Anchal) Idk what am I feeling rn, but Ik something’s not good inside me. I’m feeling like I’ve lost a piece of myself. The piece that wasn’t so important for my survival but I still feel blank, like really blank. My body is resisting good hormones, like totally. I’ve never been like this. […]

I’m not an expert on love, but I will tell you I have experienced many moments in my life that can only be described as being fueled by another person by the purest form of love that can possibly exist in their hearts for me.  If you will humor me, I am going to use that […]

(Written by a friend who didn’t wish to be named) Why do you want to kiss me? Is it so you can take me back to your apartment and pretend to care about my side of the conversation while secretly calculating how much longer until it’s appropriate to place your hand on my thigh, to […]

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. You deciding that you deserve more than what they put you through. You admitting that there is no reason to run back to your past because […]

(Written by Anchal) Do you ever see me the way i see you, or do you ever just see me? Did you even notice that I exist? If not, I will tell you… Hey, I’m someone who’s always been looking at you, looking for you regardless of where I am and who I’m with because […]

She’s moved on, and I’m not going to lie, it hurt me more than I thought it would. Am I listening to Darshan Rawal’s songs every day? Yes, but I’m happy for her. For nine months, it was me she kept coming back to, and for nine months, it was me who kept pushing her away. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

(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 […]

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 […]

(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 […]

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 […]

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 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. […]

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 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’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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

You were not looking for anything serious and yet you found yourself wondering if you were ready to feel something deep and meaningful again. You were only looking to get a fun night out of it. But when I shared my story with you, you started thinking that this could mean more than just a […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

(Written by Ketan Thube) Na daulat ki lat haiNa heero ki khaan chahiyeNa mehel ki khwaishNa taaro bhara aasmaan chahiyeKehdi hai tumse apne dil ki baatBas teri haa chahiye Mere haato mein tera hath chahiyeHar kadam par tera sath chahiyePyaar bhari baatein karenge chaarBas wo haseen mulaqaat chahiyeBahot bhatka hai ye dil becharaIse ab panaah […]

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 […]

(Written by Rajvee Dedhia) Moral support is the basic mental health issue in people. When the efforts are not appreciated people tend to doubt themselves and even stop pursuing it any further.Physical support might be provided by literally anyone in the contact circle.However, moral support although provided in huge amounts does not matter unless it is […]

(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 […]

One of the hardest things you may ever have to face in life will be the decision to either stay in a broken relationship or to walk away. To look at the person you once thought you would be blissfully happy with until the end of time and admit to yourself and everyone around you […]

(Written by Hatvik Vora) Remembering those daysWhen I dozed off in class and had to suddenly wake up when my friend pinched because he knew the teacher was coming close.When there a gossip going around which I wasn’t part of and I wanted to know so badly about it.When it was a break and we […]

Falling in love is moving your eyes from the end of a telescope to their face, but their eyes are already on you, watching you take in the night sky. Falling in love is driving through the forest at night with the wind in your hair and their hand resting on your leg and you […]

“I let you see the parts of me that weren’t all that pretty and with every touch you fixed them. Now you’ve been talking in your sleep. Things you never say to me. Tell me that you’ve had enough…I’m sorry I don’t understand where all of this is coming from, I thought that we were […]

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 […]
