I thought I knew the way ahead,With plans and dreams I’d neatly spread.I changed myself to fit the mold,Believing I was in control. But fate, it laughed at all my schemes,Tearing down my fragile dreams.I bent and broke, I lost my way,Thinking that’s the price to pay. I twisted truth and blurred the lines,Redrawing maps a hundred times.And when it all came crashing down,I stood there empty, set to drown. Was it for nothing, all this pain?Did all my efforts go in vain?But now I see, …
Cherished Moments
I’ve gathered a few moments, scattered through time, and tucked them safely in my heart. Some are filled with love and warmth, others with the quiet of dull days. There are emotions that I’ve carefully collected, a handful of them, and even those tears—small and delicate, like pearls—are kept in a special place. These memories are stored in a little box, kept close. I’ve promised myself that in those quiet moments of solitude, I’ll pull them out, sift through them, and remember. I’ll relive …
The Rollercoaster of Love
Have you ever felt like love just slips right through your fingers? It’s a strange journey. You find yourself falling out of love, and suddenly it feels like both of you are lost. It’s not just one person feeling off; it’s like we’re both navigating through life, weighed down by emotions we can’t quite understand.

What Can You Possibly Know?
Sometimes, it feels like no one really understands me. You might say you know me, but what does that really mean? You can’t feel the tightness in my chest when I think about the dreams I’ve let slip away. You don’t hear the whispers of my thoughts late at night as I replay old conversations, wishing I had spoken up or shared more. You might think you understand me, but can you sense the heaviness I carry when I’m surrounded by people yet feel completely alone? I often find comfort in writing …
The Edge of Fear: A Solo Journey Through Manali’s Monsoon
The thing about embarking on solo adventures is that you never truly know what you’re signing up for. On the surface, it’s all about the trek, the thrill of the climb, the stunning landscapes that unfold at every corner. But for me, this two-week solo trip to Manali wasn’t just about scaling the 14,250 feet of Bhrigu Lake. It wasn’t even about the trek itself. It was about everything that led up to it—the fears I carried, the unexpected brushes with death, the unraveling of emotions that shaped …

Grieving the Person I Was
I used to believe that heartbreak was all about mourning the loss of someone else—their absence, their silence, the sudden emptiness they leave behind. But as I’ve journeyed through my own healing process, I’ve realized that some of the hardest parts are not about the person who’s no longer there, but about the versions of myself that I’m leaving behind. There’s a unique grief in letting go of who you used to be—the one who dreamed a certain dream, who painted vivid pictures of a future that …
