When love becomes a deadline
“You are not late. You are exactly on time for your own story.”— Cheryl Strayed In this age where, terms like situationship, benching etc have become common in love and romance, it is also okay to never have been in a relationship before, you don’t have to be experienced to be in love, it isn’t…
The aesthetic of Sadness
In this era, where we have become more so vulnerable on the internet, which is for the better, and helps others see that they are not alone in whatever pitfall that they find themselves in. But in my humble opinion, somewhere along the line of this emotional vulnerability and being open about your mental health,…

being Judgemental and judgementalism
There’s a whole lot of difference in making judgements and the concept of “Judgementalism.” Making judgements is how we live, and make our way through the world, judgements about how to do an assignment, where to invest our money, about people . But Judgementalism is the concept when someone is quick to jump to harsh…
The rise of toxicity
In the age of social media, we’ve seen a huge rise in online literary communities — Bookstagram, BookTube, BookTok — all spaces where readers connect, share recs, and gush about their favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters. I’ve personally found a lot of joy in following these platforms for book recommendations, aesthetics, and hot takes. But over…
Inevitability of living
Part of the experience of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life, is the whole idea of making your peace with the inevitable. What I mean by the inevitable is that, making peace with the fact that in your life you will inevitably- trust the wrong person, hurt the people who didn’t…
