Be Okay With Being Imperfect
The most devastating realization I ever had in my life was when I came clean and admitted I wasn’t perfect.

How I Made Peace with Being ‘Too Sensitive’
I fell into a state of depression a few days ago. I did what I always do when I tread rock bottom: sneak into the shower and allow the water droplets to wash away my tears. It’s a way of hiding my own feelings of sadness from myself because deep down I don’t want it to be […]

The Difference Between Momentary Love & True Love
Impulsive love exists in a fantasy land, whereas true love exists in reality. A feeling can disappear just as quickly as it came. In a single day we have thousands of feelings, but underneath it all there is an absolute truth that defines them. True love isn’t what we see in movies, though we try desperately to mimic […]
