  • YOU ARE NOT PRETTY LIKE HER, YOU ARE PRETTY LIKE YOU

    The other day, while sitting in a cozy coffee shop, sipping some chai tea, my attention was drawn to a quote on the wall. It was by Diane Von Furstenberg, and it read: “You know, there’s a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, ‘She’s so…

  • SMALL ACTS, BIG IMPACT

    Every day presents countless opportunities to make choices that seem insignificant but hold the power to shape our character. Discipline is not about grand gestures or sweeping resolutions. It is about the steady, consistent actions that define who we are. Take something as simple as choosing to return a shopping cart to its designated place.…

  • WHAT THE JOURNEY TEACHES YOU

    Sometimes the road to finding yourself is a lonely one. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because growth has a way of separating you from what’s familiar. The people you expected to walk beside you, the faces you assumed would naturally show up with encouragement and reassurance, may not offer the support you hoped…

  • TEA WITH MY YOUNGER SELF

    I met my younger self for tea today. She arrived with wide eyes and an air of curiosity, the same wonder she always carried, the same eagerness to dream without restraint. She stared at me, scanning my face, my hands, my posture, searching for traces of the girl she used to be. Searching for the…

  • THE HAPPINESS BLUEPRINT

    Happiness is a shape shifter, wearing many faces and speaking different truths to each of us. For one person, it is the quiet triumph of watching their savings grow like drops of rain slowly filling a pond. For another, it is landing the job they have dreamed of, a wish granted by the universe. For…

    Have you ever felt like life was testing the very limits of your emotional resilience? Maybe it was during a heated argument with someone you love, or perhaps it happened when an unexpected challenge at work made you question your own abilities. In those moments, how did you respond? Did you allow your emotions to…

  • RISING FROM THE ASHES

    Sophia sat quietly in her dorm room at Westwood University, staring at the walls as memories of the past year flooded her mind. She used to be the girl with a contagious laugh, a dreamer who could light up any room she entered. She aspired to become a psychologist, hoping to help others the way…

  • THE GRASS GROWS WHERE YOU WATER IT

    Comparison is a natural part of human nature. We look at the world around us, observe others, and inevitably measure ourselves against them. In the age of social media, where the highlight reels of people’s lives are constantly on display, this tendency can easily spiral into a cycle of envy and self-doubt. But what if…

  • THE EXTRAORDINARY IN THE ORDINARY

    The world often glorifies the extraordinary, filled with stories of grand achievements, viral moments, and lives that seem larger than life. These narratives dominate our screens and conversations, leaving many of us wondering if our quieter, simpler lives are somehow less valuable. But the truth is, the beauty of life often lies not in the…

  • YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE

    There are moments in life when doubt creeps in and makes you question your worth. In those times, it’s easy to forget one fundamental truth. You are extraordinary, not by accident but by design. Like a masterpiece, your value isn’t determined by perfection but by the richness of your story. The trials you’ve faced, the…
