Sipping Wisdom: A Personal Journey of Meeting My Younger Self Over Coffee
The air permeated a sense of calmness and stillness as I entered the coffee shop ten minutes late, I saw my younger self sitting there reading a book as she was sipping on her favourite caramel ice cream latte. Engrossed in her tale, she scrunched her nose as she did not like a particular stance of the story, I smiled with a serenity-filled eye as I saw the beauty of innocence brimming in her eyes. Hurrying across the table I told her sorry I was late and she said it was no problem. She asked me what I would like to have and I ordered an iced mocha frappuccino as she made room for me to sit alongside her on the table.

Living in my parents basement
Never have I thought that I would be living in my parents basement at 27 years old. To me it's a bit embarrassing, if I'm admitting honestly. I went from living in a 2 bedroom apartment with my partner to moving to my parents basement.

The Rebellious Spirit of a Brown Girl. Top Story - February 2025.
I belong to India where a lot of expectations are placed on brown girls. It entails carrying the burden of the "good girl" stereotype all the time. Society expects me to prioritize other people's viewpoints over my own, frequently at the expense of my goals and ambitions. It is rebellion to defend myself. Even if it costs me to respect people who are trying to destroy my life, I must keep quiet and listen. A girl already had so much pressure the day she was born. But what about the boys? Brown girls are always instructed to sit properly, not laugh loudly, not talk to boys and always be docile and soft. Why is a girl's gender the requirement to clean the house or be in the kitchen?

When Home Becomes a Prison: The Silent Suffering of Abused Children
Start writing...In every society, there are children who smile despite their pain, who hide their tears behind silent glances, and who live a childhood stripped of security and warmth.

My Dreams, My Existence!
My Dreams, My Existence! What are dreams? For some, they are nothing more than the fleeting images that appear when they close their eyes at night. For others, they are just words spoken casually, without any real commitment. But for me, dreams are my identity. They are not just my aspirations; they define who I am. My dreams are my existence! The day I saw my first dream, I realized it wasn’t just a random thought passing through my mind. It was a vision—a path leading to my future. But the world saw it differently. Some encouraged me, while others laughed and dismissed my dreams as mere illusions. “You can’t do this,” “It’s impossible,” “Your dreams are too big for you”—these words became a constant echo in my ears. But I refused to stop. I knew that my dreams were not just a fantasy. They were the seeds of my destiny, waiting to be nurtured with hard work and perseverance. People laughed at me, mocked me, and tried to pull me down. They ridiculed my ambitions and questioned my abilities. But their words did not weaken me; they only made me stronger. Because no matter how much someone belittles a dream, its value never diminishes. It remains as powerful as the person who believes in it. The more I chased my dreams, the more I discovered my true identity. With every step forward, I grew stronger, more determined, and more confident. The journey was never easy. I faced endless struggles, countless failures, and harsh criticism. There were days when everything seemed to be falling apart, when the obstacles seemed insurmountable, and when the world appeared to be against me. But in those moments, I reminded myself—if I give up on my dreams, I will be giving up on my own existence. My dreams are not separate from me; they are a part of my soul, my essence. No matter how many times I stumbled, I got back up. No matter how many times I failed, I tried again. Because I knew that success is not measured by how easily we achieve our goals, but by how fiercely we fight for them. Every struggle, every challenge, and every setback was just another step in my journey. They were not signs of my weakness but proof of my perseverance. Today, when I look back, I see the road I traveled—a road filled with hardships, disappointments, and sacrifices. But I do not regret a single step. Every challenge shaped me into the person I am today. Every failure taught me a lesson. Every rejection made me stronger. And every victory, no matter how small, reminded me why I started in the first place. I have realized that dreams are not just about achieving success. They are about discovering who we truly are. They are about pushing our limits, defying expectations, and proving to ourselves that we are capable of more than we ever imagined. Dreams are the fire that burns within us, the light that guides us, and the force that drives us forward. So, no matter what the world says, no matter how many obstacles come my way, I will never stop dreaming. Because my dreams are my strength. They are the foundation of my being. They are my existence. And no one can ever take that away from me!

"I Survived 30 Days Without Social Media—Here’s the Brutal Truth No One Admits"
The Moment I Realized I Was Addicted It was 2:37 a.m. on a Tuesday. I’d just spent 45 minutes scrolling TikTok reels of strangers’ vacations, DIY crafts I’d never attempt, and a raccoon eating cotton candy. My eyes burned, my neck ached, and I felt… nothing. That’s when I knew: I was a zombie.

An Unexpected Foot Exam
She works as a secretary at a podiatrist’s office and helped me schedule an appointment with a doctor she knew. I had met him once at her house during a holiday gathering, and she assured me he was great at what he did. She even asked him if he could check my feet after work one evening.
