Dear mind, I’ve been angry at you for too long, but right now I’m not. I’m just confused. And the more I know about you, the more it confuses me. I get it, you’re trying to protect me. You’ve been trying to protect me all along. But sometimes I wonder what is it that you’re […]

This time This time last year, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted. My mind was on fire, making up scenarios of all the places I could end up in, if only I’d have that one thing I desperately longed for. I prayed, and cried, and hurt myself trying to get hold of it. […]

It scares to realize I’m able to wake up on some days having absolutely no feelings towards people or things that I’d been totally obsessed with just the night before. It’s like someone manages to get access to a switch inside me that I never knew exists, and turns it off while I’m even looking. […]

I was recently listening to an actor on an interview discussing the role he played on his latest show. He explained how the major inspiration for his performance was a trip he went on before they start shooting, where he got to spend some time with his elder brother. And just noticing the man (he […]

I wish it was okay for people to openly admit they’re tired, without anyone rushing to make things better for them right away.
