You don't write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say.
Yes. I’m here. In The Dam. Sitting in a coffee shop – Brug34 – by the canal. A cappuccino, a mac, a story begins. I’ve been dreaming of this for so many months, of what it would feel like, of what it would be, of what I would think, in this moment. The reality is […]
“I don’t want to feel anything.” How many times do we say this? In conversations fleeting or not, with others or ourselves. How many times have I said this to myself – one too many. I don’t want to feel disappointed. I don’t want to feel hurt. I don’t want to feel anything. Goals of […]
I’ve been feeling a feeling, this whole month, and now that I think of it retroactively, it just makes sense that I felt that way. Comfortable. And that’s a dangerous place. When I wasn’t working, I travelled a bit, spent some quality time with close ones, spent some days in bed doing absolutely nothing, spent […]
There is a deep sense of satisfaction in doing what you love. No, I’m not simply saying this in the ‘big picture of life’ kind of way. Sitting on my bed, wrapped up in my comforter, warm tea and a candle by my bedside, and my Mac on my lap – writing – I’m certainly […]
Every year around this time, I, as I’m sure many of you, reflect on the year that’s gone by – the good, bad, ugly, and undoubtedly amazing! This year has been special for one too many reasons. As fluid as it’s been, I have more than solid reason to say it has, by far, been […]
Who am I? Who do I want to be? Who have I been all this time? About a year back I had somewhat of an existential crisis – ok maybe that is being a bit too dramatic, but truth be told I was at a point where I found myself asking all of life’s hard questions […]
Yes wander, not wonder. When I was young (and free from my self-imposed inhibitions), my most favorite way to spend time was to wander off into the streets, seeking out the adventurous story I would spin in my mind. I would wander off down to the river, pretend I was stranded on undiscovered territory, surviving […]
It’s all you have to live your life. There are days when words come bursting out of thoughts waiting to be put out there in the universe, and then there are days like today. I’m never really at a loss of words, most definitely not at a loss of thoughts – then again maybe I’m […]
Why is power most often used to exploit? – This has been a constant nagging question in my mind ever since I visited Peru recently. Maybe it hit too close to home, you know the one I left a few years ago in search of myself, the one being India. Peru – a country so […]
It’s time. It’s that time, yes it has come. To answer this question, maybe even question it first. No one will tell you what to do, no one will stop you even. Isn’t that what we’ve always wanted? Independence, freedom of choice, of life? Well it’s here, and now. This post is one of those, […]
