If you could use some alone time in a cozy corner of your house and you have some tissues handy, here are some tearjerkers for you. — I am a sucker for sad movies until I discovered sad books. The thing is some of these are not even “sad” books per se, they are brilliantly crafted, emotionally overwhelming, happy-ending books that give you no choice but to let down your guard and cry. To be honest with…

If you read good books, lookie here! They are random but good. — I am all about reading “good books”. Been on that hunt ever since I was little. I will meet someone holding a book and ask “Is that good?”. I don’t really care about getting a detailed response to that. …

The cure to this is friendship. You’re lucky if you have this. — What are friends these days? Is it someone you converse with online? Is it someone you know from when you were five? Or could it be somebody who speaks with you because they want your company beyond friendship? …

I rely on my intuitions. Intuitions = predictability from patterns around me. To understand patterns is to practice extreme analysis of people and behavior. — Alright. Let’s get this straight. I am pro many things. Pro feminism, pro mental health advocacy, pro atheism, pro baseball, pro humanitarianism, pro go with the flow, pro veganism, pro dogs, pro cats, the list goes on.

To see when they need water, sunlight, and a new pot. …

I deactivated all my social media accounts. Here are some of the reasons behind this. — I am all about spontaneity. You can call me right now and ask me to do anything, anything at all, and I’d be out the door. Unless I had already made plans I couldn’t pull out of. But social media and I are inseparable. …

Here is a short review of all of the 10 books I read last month. — Reading to me has always been a great time spent; a fun escapes from reality without relying on the dopamine stimulations of social media. And this year I wanted to get my hands on some more fiction as I almost never have done that in the past. With an epic…

Shut up more often to listen and surprisingly even speak right. — Close your eyes, plug everything out and listen, listen to that blankness(if you can). That is silence. And silence and knowing when to use it can be one of the most useful skills anybody can have. And today, I will be sharing exactly what I learned about this from reading…

Do you really not care and should you? — We all say: I don’t care about what they think, I never let the opinions of others influence my choices, and caring about people who don't care about me is not something I find the time for anymore. Yet, we always seem to end up in the comments of a…
