We Owe It To Ourselves To Rise Stronger Every Time We Fall
I THINK OPRAH IS A SYMBOL OF SUCCESS, PERSEVERANCE, AND GUTS. I have heard so much about her. I remembering pulling every reading material I can get my hands on to read about her. The discoveries I made were both inspiring and harrowing. I cannot believe some of those events happened to someone so accomplished and successful as her. But those discoveries also helped me developed a profound sense of respect and admiration for her even more. I should mention I have always admired her as a person. Everything about her exclaims what I want to do i…
Five Reasons Why You Can't Forget Them Even When You're Totally Over Them
IT'S A WEEKEND AND THE RAIN'S JUST STARTED TO POUR HEAVILY, pounding the glass windows with rather unexpected force. The strong winds, icy and tingling on your skin, managed to close the door at the kitchen with a bang. You cocooned yourself inside your room, enveloped by your favorite cardigan with a warm mug of coffee (or tea) at hand enjoying the last few chapters of a Colleen Hoover . As soon as you closed the book, you held the covers tracing its contours–your heartbeat on the High Line. You try to remember how to breathe, collec…
Book Review: Poemsia by Lang Leav
LANG LEAV PROVES HER VENTURE OUT OF THE REALMS OF POETRY can take flight with yet another novel. There are two distinct areas in which I'd like to take my review of Poemsia. First, criticism of overnight fame. Leav gave us a bird's eye view of her shot to fame through pop poetry. It is easy to correlate Verity Wolf's story to Leav's, who saw herself being a household name after posting some of her works on social media. Hats off to Leav because not only did her work took flight, but her career as a writer as well. To take it fu…
Here’s something I’ve learned at 26
WE THINK WE ALREADY KNOW OURSELVES, BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER is we will always drastically deconstruct our preconceived belief system about ourselves. We think we know ourselves enough to say no, but we always end up saying yes. We think we already know how other people see and take us for who we are but they do not know us in the way our lover does. In the same manner, our lover will never know us in the way our friends do. Our friends see us as a constant ray of sunshine bobbing and dancing as we pass along a complicated spectrum in a pri…
"Here's what I've learned in the past three years..."
TIME IS A FUNNY THING–IT SPEEDS UP ON MOMENTS WHEN WE FEEL unadulterated and free. It does so on nights when we end up dreaming of our futures and deciding how they should be before they even happen. It speeds up from zero to a hundred miles per hour when we’re dancing carefree under a disco ball one moment and ditch the whole scene the next. But time slows down when we think of the what-ifs–about the chances we didn’t take, the promises we break, the wishes we didn’t make, and the love we risked because of the stakes. In the world we live in,…
Book Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
Originally uploaded on Instagram . 2020 Copyright. ** spoiler alert ** THE GOLDEN HOUR IS A PERIOD OF TIME WHEREIN THINGS CAN BE AS PERFECT as anyone can imagine. It's a vista where time seems to be truly non-existent and everything falls in a perfect place. It can be a reflection of our deepest dream unfolding to reality. But this hour can also burn along with the reality we tend to hide; it can break us to pieces and beyond repair. For Lily Bloom, five minutes was all it took to completely destroy her life-long held beliefs and definitio…
Book Review: Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
Originally uploaded on Instagram . 2020 Copyright. WHEN THE DOOR HAS BEEN SLAMMED SHUT AND THE PERSON WHO means the world—or meant would be more appropriate—leaves us, we are left in the dark. We are left with information we are not sure we want, questions we are not sure whether to ask and feelings we never allowed ourselves to confront once before. But what do you do? What do you do when this happens? What do you do when you hit rock-bottom after being cheated on squarely and obscured altogether? Being left with so much mess to sort through …
