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...

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...

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...

 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...

 Hello Dear Readers!! The Importance of Mental Health: A Personal Reflection In recent years, the conversation surrounding mental health has gained significant traction, shedding light on its critical role in our overall well-being. Yet, despite this growing awareness, many people—including myself—have grappled with the negative impacts of neglecting mental health. This post delves into the importance of mental health and shares my personal experiences illustrating how it has affected me negatively. Understanding Mental Health Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act, influencing how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Just like physical health, mental health is essential at every stage of life.

 Hello Dear readers! Embracing the Journey: Reflections on Life Life is a complex tapestry woven from experiences, emotions, relationships, and moments that define who we are. It is a journey filled with ups and downs, triumphs and challenges, all contributing to our growth and understanding of the world around us. The Beauty of Life's Imperfections One of the most profound lessons life teaches us is the beauty of imperfection. We often strive for perfection, chasing ideals shaped by society, expectations, and personal aspirations. However, it is in our flaws and failures that we often find our greatest strengths. Embracing our imperfections allows us to connect more deeply with others, fostering empathy and understanding. It reminds us that everyone has their struggles, and these shared experiences can create bonds that last a lifetime. The Importance of Connection At the heart of life lies our relationships with others. Family, friends, and even acquaintances shape our experience...
