The Glorious Mess Called “Us”
"How can her life be just perfect? Everything about her future, from her higher education to her job to her to-be husband is so sorted out. And in a good way! Just how?" wondered aloud I to a friend. "We don't know everything about her. So relax," she replied. "Still! And look at me! I [...]
Why Does It Pain?
Why does it pain? Why does it hurt so much? It pains because you have a heart. It hurts because you love so much. What if you are careful? Won't it hurt less? It would. But then you wouldn't love as much.
Time Will Tell
Were we right? Or were we wrong? Was something really there? Or was it long gone? Time will tell. Did we put in too much? Or did we not do enough? Did we wish too much? Or did we not even really dream? Time will tell. Will it happen ever again? Or was last time [...]

Ego or Self-Respect
"When do you know it is ego and when it is self-respect?" asked a friend. "When you don't regret it later, it is self-respect. Otherwise, ego," replied I. "Great one! I will think over this," she said. While the advice-seeker appreciated the eloquence of the advice, little did she know that it stemmed from the [...]
Go On
A hundred things to do, A hundred people to answer to, A hundred reasons to quit, Yet we go on because we want to. We got ourselves into this, Knowing fully how crazy it could get, Knowing that it would all transpire only from our sweat, Yet we go on because we want to. No [...]
