It’s okay to take the road that seems less traveled. To do it alone if no one wants to go with you. Others may not necessarily ‘get’ or even support your dream and that’s okay. The dream or desire was not planted in their heart – it was planted in yours. You have been equippedContinue reading “It’s Okay”

Nosey
I just love to hear people’s story. The ones of triumph, defeat, battles fought- loss or won. I’m not good at doing shallow for long. Somewhere, somehow I will ask the deep questions. I guess I’m just nosey! I’m fascinated with the roads we’ve traveled and how we arrived at this moment. I’d like toContinue reading “Nosey”
Talk to Me
Writing Prompt- ‘What Topics do you like to discuss?’ I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t like to talk. We may choose our topics wisely but we love to talk. As we mature, I find my friends and I love to reminisce. Remembering our childhood sins is a great topic – like the one above.Continue reading “Talk to Me”

While on another ride a few months ago, a lady beside me said, “You can’t see the beauty with your eyes closed.” There were parts of the ride where I had closed my eyes while screamingContinue reading “Eyes Opened”

I could list anything from the tangible to the divine. Most times I find what I need people can’t give it to me. So, I’ve learned to release those in my circle – gotten rid of my unhealthy expectations. I ask but one thing: Give me the real youLet me decide to stay or leaveNo facade-noContinue reading “Gift of You”
Why I Write
Since I was a teenager, putting my thoughts, prayers and feelings on paper has always been my way of ‘staying sane’. The paper understood me and allowed me to be me without explanations. Don’t you just hate explaining ‘you’ sometimes? Especially when you are not even too sure what’s going on yourself. This month marksContinue reading “Why I Write”
