It’s pitch black outside but I’m in a reverent mood and stumped for words. I stare at the night sky, it’s sombre and starless. Then I think, what better moment than to schmooze with God, hoping he actually

It was morning, and the rain had just stopped. The ground outside was swallowed by floodwater. I had an 8 a.m. appointment, so I needed to leave as early as possible. My hair was already perfectly laid,

I used to think rest meant sleeping longer. But I’ve realized there’s an unhinged kind of exhaustion that sleep cannot touch. It surfaces when you’ve carried emotional baggage for too long, lived under

While scrolling through TikTok, I came across a video of a teenage girl in gym wear, probably outside a gym building, making content for TikTok like many young people do these days. Then a tricycle rider

A garbage sandwich, I think, is what most of us become after life has had a few turns with us. A little disappointment layered between our forced smiles and there’s burnt dreams tucked beneath the “I’m

I got the job!!! I’m crineee!(tears of joy). Before the interview, I was extremely nervous. Like, pacing-around-the-house, practicing-in-the-mirror kind of nervous. I had built so many scenarios in my

here, I was wishing a coconut would just fall and make my day This is me doing a very lazy farm update because I’m honestly exhausted as I write this. So this year, I decided I would keep visiting my parents’

So I have an interview on Monday for another job. I’m nervous. Like, really nervous. This is my first ever physical interview, and I’ve basically been hovering around my mirror practicing my pitch like

Last week, out of nowhere, I fell ill. It actually started as a small migraine but quickly turned into something worse. I work remotely, so most of my days are spent indoors, and lately the air in my apartment

After a friend posted a short clip of this animated film on her WhatsApp status, I was inclined to watch it because I couldn’t resist such color and wonder! You know, animated films have this habit of

I saw a woman today, and for a very good reason, she stayed on my mind even after she walked away. She had three children with her, all dressed and ready for school. Their uniforms were neat, shoes clean,

I came across a video on Facebook this morning. I almost scrolled past it but the numbers stopped me from doing so. It had over 13 million views. Curiosity got the better of me, so I stayed and it turned

I hope nobody’s judging me for seeing old films when there are newly released ones? It just happened that I want these old films. The old ones are raw and unfiltered with less theatrics and exaggerated

Whether we like it or not, the truth never stays hidden forever no matter how carefully it’s tucked away or how convincingly we tell ourselves it isn’t there, it still finds a way to surface. My sister

Yesterday, I was on TikTok and I came across this older woman. I think her name is Gigi. She looked her age, yes, but there was something about her I really fancied. Gigi is an alive woman. In all her

I think about how many versions of us exist only in other people’s memories. There’s a version of you that lives in someone you no longer speak to, frozen in time and unchanged. Then, there’s another version

It infuriates me when a film is set in a fine countryside and gives this disconnect to reconnect energy but ends up under delivering. This film looked so promising I couldn’t skip it but guess what I got

Old British period dramas just do it for me. From the elegance, to the restraint, down to the way everything is said without actually being said sits right with me. Films like this one are my go-tos when

There are lies and then there are patent lies, so outrageous and boldly ridiculous, that you almost question your intelligence as you cannot quite comprehend the confidence it took for the liar to say

There’s a very specific kind of disappointment people don’t really talk about and it is the TikTok disappointment. People who love modern music and are chronically online on TikTok, like me, should know
