Writer's Block
vocal bliss
As the new year approaches, there is always a significant push to pick ourselves apart, see where we can make personal improvements, set goals, and decide how to completely change our lives to become even better versions of ourselves. Although I feel the excitement around the impulse of making changes, improving, and setting goals, I’m not one to set my lofty resolutions during the frigid winter months. I’m in hibernation mode, and if it doesn't include a sweater, slippers, and tea, I’m probably not going.

I Don't Set Goals, I Make Plans
I don’t usually set goals. Goals can be missed, that’s why I have switched to selecting targets. Targets are things that cannot be missed. Or if they are missed, you are forced to ask the question of why you missed, how far off target you were, and what you can do to not miss the target again. This change in mindset is why I have switched to making plans. I realize that all may sound pretentious. However, this outlook has come from experience. It comes from what I learned both from playing sports and when I worked in sales. This mindset has taken over many aspects of my life. To the point that now when someone asks me about goals, I avoid using that word to describe something in the future. Looking at my life over the last few years, the occasions when I do use it is in the past tense. And most often my use of goal is to communicate what I did in simplest terms, as targets or plans can carry negative undertones. This is more due to the limitations of our language, and word association.

Nightmare at Home:
It is a Thursday night, and once again, my father is working late, not expected back until the following day. Sleep elude me despite my attempts, as I anticipate her inevitable visit. She always came at night. I waited patiently, the sound of rain cascading heavily on the roof of our mansion, a grand inheritance from my grandparents, claimed only after my grandmother's passing two years ago.

Mastering the Craft: How to Edit and Revise Your Creative Writing. Content Warning.
Creativity speaks a thousand words that no grandiose gesture ever can express. We often define creativity as the art of expressing one’s opinions through different creative outlets. Creativity is the essence of every decision we take; it is the catalyst that equips us to think over the conventional bounds of a perceived notion. The flow of performing various tasks coherently with a spark of unconventional ideas marks the essence of creativity. Whether it be media houses, the publishing industry, business magnates or authors, creativity pioneers the process of brainstorming and building brands that leave an impact on the lives of consumers.

To the ones January has not been kind to
To the ones January has not been kind to Hey there stranger, I hope you realize how amazing you are and how beautiful the world is because of you in it. This one is for you if January has not been kind to you. I know right now all you feel is how the darkness that surrounds knows no end, and the light that you are so desperately and intently searching for seems to lose its way in the dreariness of despair. I know all you long right now is a moment of peace and this month has constantly put you on the edge of your sanity. January has not been your month, all it has done is test your strength and remind you that you need to keep it all together. Life in its entirety has plonked you into the land of uncertainty, and all you yearn for is to be lost in a land where you cannot be found, only to be rescued with the warmth of love and a warm cup of coffee.
