I Said Goodbye To My Grandpa
I’m sitting on the steps outside my grandfather’s house. He passed away 2 hours ago. As much as I want to be practical and see it as a relief for him, I just can’t. It’s not fair. It’s not fair that 10 days back he was walking, eating, and chilling with us and now he’s…
Blank Noise – Inner Working of an Anxious Mind
Do you ever have those moments when you have a lot that you want to say but nothing comes out of your mouth when you try to say those things out loud? Blank noise. I have so many thoughts whizzing around in my head as I write this post but none coherent enough to make…
Does Garlic Work On Energy Vampires?
Did the title make you doubt my sanity? Haha! It will all make sense as you read on.

My Hopes For The Last Quarter Of 2022
We are officially in the last quarter of the year. I feel like the year flew by far too fast. I’ve barely had any time to catch my breath and time has just been rushing by. Honestly, I wish I had used my time better. I have felt incredibly demotivated for most of 2022. It…

Contentment Conundrum

It could be money, a better title, a bigger home, more travel, a life partner, etc. How does one reach a stage of being happy with what they have? Would you be content…
8 Mental Health Tips: Work from Home Edition (Guest Post)
I recently got a new job and I found out after that most days I get to work from home! I initially was surprised that I got to work from home. My company has an office that is about fifteen minutes away from my house which in terms of commute isn’t too bad. I can still go to the office if I need to, but most days, I get to work from home.
Burnt Out
I AM COMPLETELY BURNT OUT. I’ve been struggling with work, personal life, and keeping up with the blogging world these past few weeks. There has been just too much going on in my life and I’ve finally reached a point of total burnout. A few weeks back I had planned to take a short vacation…
Unspoken Words
My grandmother passed away last week. She was 87 years old and had been long suffering from Parkinson’s disease. She had had a fall in May which had her bedridden post-surgery. In all honesty, all of us were a little relieved for her that her suffering was finally over. Over the past few years every…
