“So, what do you do?” They expect me to talk about my profession and my source of income. They expect me to name my job and career as if it explains my entire identity. And I, like a fool, give them exactly what they’re looking for: “Oh, I’m a lawyer!” But what I really want…

Nothing, Just Some of my Favorite Love Quotes/Poems/Lyrics of All Time
Hey dreamers, There is not much to this post, but it’s 11/12 and I’m in a good mood. I had aloo parathas for breakfast (YUM), Nescafé coffee, hung out with my grandparents and family, and now I’m doing lowkey work while watching Harry Potter in Hindi. But the movie is on pause while my brother…
Alternate Universe Me is Popping Champagne
Hey rockstars! So it’s been a week since Rent Free Poem Week — it’s always such an emotionally exhausting time because I haven’t done that much reading comprehension since High School. The last week has been so rough. Work has been insane (nothing new there), but I’m also battling being sick 😦 Here’s the thing…

Surround Yourself with Platonic Love
Hello rockstars! It’s officially my first blog post of *30*! People always say your 30s are so fun because in your 20s you’re finding yourself, and in your 30s you’re pretty sure of yourself. You may not know everything about you and what you like, but I think for the most part you know what…
Celebrate the Small Joys
Greetings my sweet friends, Those of you who read my last post know that lately I’ve been struggling emotionally for the past two weeks. This past weekend I got breakfast with one of my old friends, and it’s always so nice seeing her. We met through work, but the first time we got lunch outside…
Be Disarming, Be Brave, Be Vulnerable
Happy 2024 my sweet friends! It’s been such a long time since I blogged. I had done it consistently for a while and then realized that I was usually only blogging about positive and happy things and there was an entire side to me that I wasn’t blogging about. I wouldn’t blog about the stressful…
