A Love Letter To Myself From My Heart

I deserve a love that does not scare me. A love that doesn’t raise its voice or its hand or its judgment when I stumble, but instead sits beside me and says, “It’s okay. We all fall sometimes — let’s figure it out together.” I deserve a love that doesn’t compare me to anyone else, because I am not meant to be a copy. I am a masterpiece of my own making, and I don’t need to compete to be worthy. I deserve a love that feels like a beautiful winter morning, when the world is quiet and I can stay in bed, warm and unbothered. A love that lets me  rest. That lets me  feel. That says, “It’s okay not to be okay today.” I deserve a love that doesn’t keep a record of my mistakes and throw them at me every time I speak up. A love that doesn’t shame me into silence, but trusts that my voice matters. I deserve a love that listens. That puts the phone down when I speak. That hears my heart even when I don’t have the words. A love that doesn’t scroll past my pain. I deserve a love that gives...

My First Day as a 21-Year-Old: A New Chapter Begins!!

Good evening Dear Readers🥰🥰❤️ Waking up today felt different. It wasn’t just another morning—it was the first day of my life as a 21-year-old. Crossing that threshold into adulthood is exciting, surreal, and a bit strange all at once. There’s this mix of responsibility, freedom, and the sense that you’re really stepping into a new phase of life. And today, that feeling hit me as soon as I opened my eyes. A Fresh Perspective The biggest thing I noticed on this first day of being 21? Perspective. It’s funny how just a single birthday can shift the way you see things. It wasn’t that my whole world had changed overnight, but I felt a new kind of awareness settling in. It’s like the weight of the milestone brings with it a reminder that life is evolving and so am I. At 21, there’s a sense of maturity but also an exciting freedom. You can officially do more “adult” things, and yet, there’s still so much youth and exploration ahead. It’s this beautiful balance of knowing you’ve grown while ...

My Unforgettable 21st Birthday: A Celebration of Love and Togetherness

Good evening Dear Readers 🥰Yesterday, I celebrated a milestone—my 21st birthday. And I have to say, it was truly amazing, beyond anything I could have hoped for. Birthdays are always special, but there was something about this one that felt different. Maybe it was the significance of turning 21 or maybe it was just being surrounded by so much love and joy that made it so unforgettable. Either way, it was a day filled with laughter, celebration, and some of the best memories of my life. But there was one moment that stood out above all: the family picture; Surrounded by the People I Love. Birthdays are a time to reflect on the people who make life meaningful, and yesterday, I was lucky enough to have so many of those people by my side. My family and close friends, who’ve supported me through everything, came together to celebrate this new chapter of my life. There were hugs, cheers, and smiles all around. But when we all came together for that family picture, something about that momen...

My Journey to Becoming a Better Woman: How the Moon Changed My Perspective on Being Alone

Hello Dear Readers!!!! In 7 days your girl will be 21🥳I’m super excited yet anxious at the same time😩I’m getting old and I think my back is agreeing with me 😅. I’ve just realised that my posts are very deep, but that’s who I am. I am like an onion, there’s layers to me and my personality.  There’s something magical about the night sky, especially the moon. For years, I never truly appreciated its quiet presence, hanging above us every night like a silent guardian. But as my personal journey unfolded, I began to realize that the moon was far more than just a celestial body; it became a symbol of transformation, reflection, and empowerment. This is my story of how I became a better woman and how the moon taught me that being alone is not the same as being lonely. For most of my life, I feared being alone. Solitude was a word that, to me, equated with isolation, sadness, and vulnerability. I avoided it at all costs, constantly seeking companionship and distractions to fill the void...

Finding Clarity in Solitude: How Isolation Helped Me Overcome Suicidal Thoughts

Hello Dear Readers!!!! I hope that you are all safe and staying warm:) Suicidal thoughts are a heavy and often isolating experience. They can creep into your mind, convincing you that you are alone in your pain and that there is no way out. During one of the darkest periods of my life, I found myself trapped in that very cycle. Surprisingly, what helped me break free from it wasn’t surrounding myself with people or seeking constant distraction—it was intentional isolation. While isolation is often seen as dangerous for someone battling suicidal thoughts, it became a powerful and necessary part of my healing. It wasn’t about shutting people out forever or withdrawing into complete loneliness; it was about finding space to confront my pain in a safe and structured way. When I was in the depths of suicidal ideation, being around others felt exhausting. Well-meaning friends and family wanted to help, but their words often rang hollow, and the pressure to “get better” felt overwhelming. I n...

Family: Your Biggest Supporters or Biggest Haters?

Dear Readers!! I hope you had an amazing and productive weekend:) When we talk about family, we often imagine a built-in support system—people who love us unconditionally and cheer us on through life’s ups and downs. But the truth is, not every family member plays that role. Some of the closest people to us can end up being our biggest critics, and sadly, in some cases, our biggest haters.  I’ve come to realise this harsh truth through my own experiences. While many of us expect encouragement and positivity from those we share blood with, reality sometimes serves us a different dish—a cold, hard realisation that not everyone in your family wants to see you win. In fact, some might quietly (or not so quietly) revel in your failures.Let’s start with what we all hope for when it comes to family: support, love, and encouragement. The family is supposed to provide a safe space for us, where we can share our dreams and ambitions without judgment. Ideally, when you achieve something—wheth...

Celebrating Friendship and Achievements

 Hello Dear readers, apologies for my inconsistent writing,life has been really hard lately but we push:) There’s something special about celebrating with friends. It’s the joy of shared laughter, the comfort of familiar faces, and the warmth of knowing that you’re surrounded by people who truly care about your happiness. That’s exactly what I experienced today when my friends and I gathered at Tashas in Rosebank to celebrate a dear friend’s incredible achievement. If you’ve ever been to Tashas, you know it’s more than just a restaurant. It’s an experience. Nestled in the heart of Rosebank, Tashas combines an elegant, yet cozy atmosphere with a menu that’s nothing short of mouth-watering. The decor is chic with a dash of Mediterranean flair, which makes it the perfect backdrop for both casual hangouts and special celebrations. As we walked in, the friendly buzz of conversation, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the vibrant ambiance set the tone for the day ahead. We had gathe...
