Ignorance: Torture or A Bliss?

Another 2 hours gone by thinking whether I should have talked to a therapist. Creating scenarios in my mind what to say, what to ask, how to express the emptiness I feel. A flame of hope ignites and extinguishes immediately at the thought of getting diagnosed with some chronic illness. Thought of finally having an

Scent of Winters

It has started to smell like winters. A season filled with sensuous energy & sad chills. I finally can see now why people dread winters. Why all look forward to getting a partner right before the season unfolds with shorter days & longer nights. It's the time when the weather is pretty all the time,

When the heart feels heavy and eyes burdened

Can you lurk into somebody's heart through their eyes? I guess you would have nodded yes, but is it true? Can you see what somebody is going through by the look of their gaze? I am not sure because I am often fooled by the outwardly appearance and of course, the people's eyes. Not a

Change is the only constant

Always been resistant to change, I finally decided to embrace it. Not sure where I am headed, but whatever comes out of it, I will get going. Hope there's no stopping.

Apparently, if you are single, what would you need rights or benefits for? 3. Team bonding will suck because it would always be duties vs favours.

I could be better

All my life, I was so focused on how to prove that I could have been better than others that I paid little attention to what I was and what I would want to be. Yes, I can be pretty competitive at times. But, if I have learnt anything this year, it would be that

“I use humor as a defense mechanism”

In my case, it is rather, " I make self-deprecating jokes in uncomfortable situations so that others can not make fun of my flaws. Because obviously, I know myself and I am not ashamed of it". In reality, I do not know myself and I am definitely ashamed of myself. This is the reason I
