a different kind of self-care
The lurking fear of being incorrect
When we think of the word ‘question’, we don’t usually think ‘stupid’, right? We may instead think ‘curious’ or ‘answer’. It’s by assuming and getting things wrong that can eventually lead us to the right answers. Why don’t we acknowledge this enough?
Be Here Now
Partly inspired by a beach trip I didn’t know I needed. ‘Be Here Now’ is all about being present rather than letting the next thing constantly interfere with right now as there will always be something else that comes after. A live-in-the-moment kind of blog. Enjoy!!
an endless curiosity
Go around, explore, see, feel, and embody life ;) Article on why you should embrace exploring. “Even if we deprive ourselves from acting out of curiosity, curiosity will always be there, and no, exploring and curiosity are not confined to just travelling.”
Paris
The timing of this is not exactly perfect as reality has us in the pandemic still, with a fresh set of travel restrictions. But, I believe it’s important to remember the beauty of such experiences, the beauty of life; cherish these moments even if they’re now memories. Also, this is a prelude to Friday’s blog on the gratification of exploring.
James Bond, chess, and House of Gucci
My new found love for cinema and rekindled affection for chess ;) Basically how I spent my thanksgiving break…
why ‘Friends’ is still a phenomenon
Comedy is a subtle diversion from the not-so-blissful aspect of truth, of reality. Even in relatively serious moments on the show, like ‘The One with the Morning After’, there were still times you could sneak in a couple laughs…

Inspired by Tromsø, Norway and the Polar Night. A story of the sun not rising for months (literally), how we view light with optimism and appreciating its distinctiveness. You're about to be mind blown!!
inward shift
celebrating new things
The sensation of freedom is felt when your choice or your decision is prioritized, when it’s a matter of a risk you’re willing to take. The real question is “why not?”
winter is coming, but first…
Winter is coming but first, we have to watch the leaves fall gracefully from their trees, while the weather remains rather indecisive on whether to show us the full wrath of the sun or the initial coolness associated with the inevitable arrival of…
My first Broadway Show!!
I just watched my very first broadway show (Thoughts of a Colored Man) and it was poignant, poetic and beautiful . This is my new favorite New York minute.

Spontaneity is fun; like most things, there are benefits of carelessness up until it becomes a disadvantage but that conclusion should not be drawn too quickly.
a self-care edition
I didn't realize just how much I missed making self-care blogs till I wrote this! We all need time to unwind, relax and do things that make us look forward to the next thing.
“happiness”
Do we associate “more” with happiness? This is not a new thought but today it’s tackling a new perspective.

A summer journal
by the fireplace
< 1 hour screen time
With technology, specifically social media and the likes, we find ourselves caught in the habitual act of taking in so much information about other people, their lifestyles and begin to focus on how our lives differ and how we don’t have certain things that we then begin to believe we need.
road trip…
Driving that far makes you realize how much *mystery land* is around. I didn’t even realize how huge New York is, like there so much emphasis on Manhattan, Brooklyn, and some other places but not the other…
