The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way. While we may fight it or fight through it, at its dimwits we ought to accept the gospel truth, nothing stays the same. Every breath we draw, every tear that we shed, and every smile we dance with, is permanent in its impermanence, it is so immortal and yet so fleeting. Though time and tide wait for no one, the imprints of our joy and melancholy, the life that we lead through the memories that we create through experiencing our mortality for the first and the last time, become infinite savouries and scars that we hold on to, that change us and shape the way we lead ourselves and charge through the world.

The Marathon Mindset
Running a marathon was never on my bucket list. In fact, the idea of running 26.2 miles seemed almost absurd to me. But one day, driven by a mix of curiosity and the desire to push my limits, I signed up for my first marathon. Little did I know that this decision would transform not only my physical endurance but also my understanding of perseverance and goal-setting.

10 Ways to Help a Friend Through a Breakup
My mind was a mess after I broke up with an ex during my sophomore year of college, but my friends made a huge difference. They told me these feelings were normal and reassured me that I was making the right choice even if it didn’t feel that way (you’d totally agree if you knew the details, BTW). “Sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same,” a close friend texted me, which validated how difficult this was. That friend also left notes around my dorm with a similar vibe: I was doing what was best for me.

I had always wanted to volunteer abroad– an extravagant pipe dream filled with visions of doing-good, adventure and immersive cultures. So when the opportunity finally came, I saw it as an opportunity to contribute and experience a new world. What I didn't realise is the fact that this would also teach me some very deep lessons on life and self, ones which hadn't even occurred to me before. After spending some time volunteering in a developing country, little did I know it would be one of the most eye-opening chapter for me that led into way more insightful lessons about life as well, still shaping my rational even far after returning back home.

From Burnout to Balance
Burnout is frequently depicted as a hazy, faraway notion that feels very serious but fails to resonate until you yourself have reached it. I was no exception. Only when I was in a very exhausted state, working long hours under continuous pressure to produce work that stood test of time did burnout really hit me. Getting from burnout to balance took me YEARS…and, quick spoiler here — there were no magic pills involved. The silver lining of all that struggle though is I learned a TON about mental wellness and self-care along the way…

How a Cross-Country Move Changed My Life
I had the vision of a grand adventure in my mind when I packed up my bags and ventured far away from home to settle down in an uncharted city on the opposite side of this country, wide-eyed with dreams wandering aimlessly around like detours from life itself. Though I could never have guessed that this change in my life was but the first step on a journey for personal transformation, one which would forever challenge and redefine not only how I saw the world—but myself;

Embracing the Reality
It feels like getting that perfect dream job is the second of years and decades worth career path, of intense ambition. The happy tears flow as the offer letter is opened with anticipation, excitement fills every corner of your being and dreams appear limitless. As soon as I got the job that, up until then was my dream position… everything fell into place. So there I was, eager as hell because this job was part of a really good company in my field and just knowing that would make the flood of congratulations from friends and family *only* more bearable to endure. But when the dust had settled, I realized that this dream job was much more difficult and complex than I envisioned in my mind.
