I feel my legs start to tingle, before long they’ll both be numb, I’m trying to get some movement happening, but it’s no use, I’m crammed in this small, suffocating iron cage. We’ve been driving for hours, the road has been bumpy, and the driver seems to be deliberately dropping in every pothole. My heart feels heavy, I don’t know where they’re taking me, and every attempt I made of escaping was foiled by electricity paralyzing my body. It drains […]
I watched the whole thing from the window high up in the building; she walked out in a red dress with her red vail flowing. You met her at the makeshift altar in your suit, you actually had on a full suit, finished with the dress shoes, not the sneakers shit you wore once upon a time. My feelings were mixed, I didn’t know if I should be happy or cry, I tried crying, but the tears just wouldn’t come, […]
I am guilty of doing this unfortunate thing way too often; I compare myself with other people and judge myself harshly because of their progress while failing to see my improvements. We, humans, find it very natural to compare our achievements but is doing so helping or hurting us? Growing up, we were taught to strive for the best, be the one who’s top of the class, get that gold medal and never settle for anything less. Even […]
While living in Japan, I had the chance to meet some beautiful people, two, in particular, became my best friends. The thing that intrigued me about them was that they celebrated everything and no I’m not exaggerating. If we got off work early one day, worked out, or went shopping, the first thing they would say is ‘Let’s Celebrate!’ Of course, lots of alcohol and food and dancing was involved, but the thing that stood out to me about […]
What does it take to distract me from my everyday one step at a time goal chasing life? NOTHING!!!…Okay, I’m kidding…But honestly, Nothing can distract me permanently but temporarily some good food, good vibes, music, and a new destination will do the trick. We get so stuck in our lives chasing our goals nonstop that we forget to take a second to breathe. I am guilty of that 100% I will sacrifice everything if it meant getting a lot […]
Art is a representation of emotions. The way we choose to express ourselves can be viewed as downright insane, if you’re an artist or normal. But what is normal? Is it slashing somebody’s tires because they did you wrong? Burning their belongings because you felt like it was the right thing to do at the time? Getting drunk and crying all night then waking up to feel all the pain that you tried to drink away become intensified? We […]
It’s incredible how everything we come in contact with leaves an imprint on us. Both the good and the bad things in life leave us scarred, but what differentiates us individually is how we wear those scars. Do we wear them proudly or do we cower away and hide them? Believe it or not but social media has the biggest influence on our generation, we all spend some part of our day looking through other people’s lives, which results […]

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”- Thomas Edison In a world where everything is instantaneous, we tend to get wrapped up in thinking that everything we want will manifest itself within the next few seconds or minutes. We forget that what we truly want will take time, planning and a lot of work to build from the ground up. Take for instance design […]
I’m a sucker for vampire stories, TV shows, movies and books. I have probably watched everything pertaining to vampires. From movies like Dracula, Twilight, Queen of the Damned, Interview with a vampire, to TV-shows like True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, just to name a few, have all kept my vampire obsession satiated. What am I going to do, besides reading the never-ending intriguing book A Shade of Vampire, now that all the TV-shows I’ve just listed are […]
