Write. Because you have something to say.But what if I don’t know how to?Doesn’t matter.You have something to say.It’s been over a month.Doesn’t matter.Too many things have happened.So start with one.You make the rules, you draw your boundaries.

One of the many side effects of living away from “home”, of opening your world, or better yet your mind – it’s just not enough, nothing. Where do I belong? A question that haunts me in broad daylight, one I know is not unique to me, yet is my very own. You are not born […]
It’s so easy to think of what’s just happened as unreal. Last morning I was in Paris, later on New York. It’s times like this when my life can feel pretty unreal to me. Was this something I had imagined? Or did I expect it? Or was it such a wild dream that still feels […]

adjective : Bound. Committed. Attached. Attachment, it’s a dangerous place to be in. Because isn’t it , by definition, an add on, extension, an extra part (not inherent?). And yet most of this is exactly where we all live – in attachment – of someone, something, some place. The moment you gain a sense of attachment, […]
I began to thinkwhat do I wantthis year was about finding just thatnow it’s come to closeand I’ve never felt so lost It made me thinkwhat do I wantthat’s when I started finding myself… Deep within (it really is where the answers lie)But how often do we ever start there?How often do we even look […]
There used to be a time, not so long ago, (well actually…pretty long ago), when I would write out my agony, the emotions that defined me. It was the inception of my relationship with poetry. Oh the sweet, sweet years of teenage, where every emotion that you feel is as high as heaven, as fiery as […]
