I can’t even count the number of times I have heard people express how overwhelmed they get about social media. Frustrated and worn down by the pressure to fit the mold. Tired of being inundated with images of “should bes” and “have tos”. Feeling that being "positive" means slapping a smile on your face and throwing an inspirational quote on your feed. If you can relate to any of this then my dear, this post is for you...
Read MoreSelf-love is a beautiful thing. It's powerful, it's comforting, and it exists within you. It does not need to be validated. It does not need to be given. It's already yours. I'm always encouraging self-love, but instead of rambling on about it as I usually do, today I decided to give you a taste (literally) of my world.
Read MoreSometimes I wonder who each of us would be if we were inside out. If we couldn't hide behind layers of clothing or makeup or false personalities. If our souls and hearts were what we led with. If beauty was felt before it was seen. If we all just were our truth...
Read MoreAnyone who knows me personally knows that I have an interesting relationship with time. I tend to exist on both poles of the time management continuum. On one hand, I am hyperaware of my schedule, I am extremely organized when it comes to deadlines and my calendar app is my best friend...
Read MoreReflecting on a whole year can be quite difficult. It's hard to remember and sometimes, reflecting is just... intangible. So why not let it remain as such? Change can be subtle. Change is usually a slow process. And change can be just for you. Trying to make it more tangible can often cause it to lose its magic. And what's life without a little bit of magic, right?
Read MoreThis book is all my loves wrapped up into one beautiful package. It is the book that not only satisfied my craving for a consuming story but also brought me to a new world that I have never had the honour of experiencing.
Read MoreWhen I sat down to write this, I had no idea what to say about my birthday. Usually, I write what I feel. But this time, I found myself searching for ways to describe how I feel. So instead, I'm going to write a letter. A letter to "26". Here it goes.
Read MoreI've always thought of home as a place. Each of us has some place we call home. A physical place we live in. A place we go to at the end of each day. There is, however, another "home" we live in. A home which often does not get the same admiration as our places of residence do.
Read MoreWith school having ended recently, my days have slowed down. I have much more time to myself, and plenty of time to think. The other day, while in conversation with someone, I felt uncomfortably comfortable. Chatting away with someone I barely know is not usually within my comfort zone. Yet, this time it was.
Read MoreIt's 3 pm, and I have done nothing today except indulge in reality TV, eat all sorts of yummy foods and cuddle the pup. And there is no place I would rather be. In fact, I have been dreaming about this moment for months. All that matters is what my heart desires. And this is everything that it desires right now.
Read MoreHave you ever felt yourself change? Like really and truly felt the transition? How do you truly experience a transition? How do you feel all that it comes with? I've been asking myself this question for awhile. Especially after being fully immersed in "student life".
Read MoreThis Valentine's day, regardless of what status you wish to hold, I want to remind you of a special kind of love. A kind of love that each and every single one of you already have. And that my friend, is love of yourself...
Read MoreI don't know how I feel about resolutions. On one hand, the new year brings a clean slate. However, the expectation to start fresh, make new goals and follow-through on them can be overwhelming. So which one is it then?
Read MoreIf you clicked on this post, you must be a lover of books at heart. Winter + reading. Sign me up right now, right? Here is my list of books that are must-reads this winter!
Read MoreThis year, my birthday crept up on me. In the best way possible, my own day took me by surprise. "Crept up on you!?" is likely what my teenaged self would say to me right now. She would not be impressed. Why? Because I was never that person...
Read MoreMany people live their lives holding their breath. Waiting for the next "break" to roll around so that they can sit for a moment. Breathe for a moment. Look around for a moment. Experience the moment. Sometimes the reality of our self-built chaos can sneak up on us while we are off busy writing our infinite to-do lists...
Read MoreYou know those feelings of being run down, exhausted, and depleted? Sound familiar? When was the last time you felt that way? Are you feeling like that right now?
Read MoreI am not going to lie. Starting this blog has been one scary ride. How is it that new beginnings are able to cause equal parts fear and equal parts exhilaration in one tiny person?
