Last year, I went through something incredibly painful and exhausting related to my health. It was one of those things—too private, too controversial (and probably too sensitive for some people). So, I kept it to myself. Even most of my family didn’t know—only a select few who are really close to me. One of them Read more

Have you ever wished for something and—bam!—it happened? Maybe you thought about an old friend, and suddenly they messaged you. Or you imagined yourself landing that dream job, and lo and behold, you got the call. Some call it luck, others call it destiny, but many believe it’s manifestation at work. Manifestation is the idea that by Read more

Signs You May Be Emotionally Dependent I’ve struggled with emotional independence for a long time, but the real issue? I didn’t even realise it. Growing up, I thought it was completely normal to rely on my parents for everything—after all, they had more life experience, so they must know better, right? Why Do We Struggle with Emotional Independence? My mum Read more

Jealousy—it’s a strange yet completely human emotion, isn’t it? I refuse to believe anyone who says they’ve never felt jealous in their entire life. That’s a straight-up lie! We’ve all had moments when we felt that pang of envy, whether over someone’s success, looks, or lifestyle. I didn’t think much about jealousy when I was Read more

Last night, I went out for dinner with my family at a small, local restaurant nearby. It’s a cozy little place, almost always empty, run by a 55-year-old man who single-handedly manages the shop and serves soba noodles. As I was finishing my meal, my dad struck up a conversation with the owner. What started Read more

I started journaling when I was, I don’t know, around 10. I loved decorating my diary with stickers and doodles—it felt like my own little world on paper. Back then, I had no idea that journaling was secretly saving me from spiraling into chaos. Life was a mess for me at that age. I had Read more

I was listening to this podcast called On Purpose by Jay Shetty, and he mentioned something that blew my mind—a study revealed that, on average, we spend 52 minutes a day talking about others. Fifty-two minutes! Can you believe it? If I asked you to spare me 52 minutes every single day, you’d probably say, “I don’t Read more

It feels like just yesterday my dad was dropping me off for open campus orientation, and I was a bundle of nerves, wondering how I would ever fit in with all these smart people. I remember thinking, How will I talk to them? Flash forward, and here we are—talking about me moving across the country Read more

I can’t even count how many times I’ve held myself back from doing what I truly wanted, all because of one haunting question: “What will people think?” Honestly, how many of us have sacrificed our dreams, our choices, and even our identities on the altar of “people’s opinions”? When exactly did what “they” think become Read more

I read The Mountain Is You at a time when I wasn’t in a good place. I was scared, shy, and convinced that I had to be more, do more, and give more just to be worthy of love. It wasn’t about one specific relationship—it was everyone. My family, my friends, my romantic partner. I thought that if I was Read more
