Not all men

you tell me, “not all men” – not in so many words but enough to say what you really mean: not me after all, you’re a nice guy a good guy a funny guy – always making everyone laugh without having to be offensive and you totally believe a woman should get paid as much …

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

I’m travelling in a crowded bus as I write this. And no, it isn’t like they always describe – sweltering heat and grumbling people – in fact, though it isn’t that great an experience, it isn’t that bad, either. Sandwiched between the metal rods of the window and a heavy woman who is reading a …

Do fall for someone who doesn’t!

It just occurred to me the other day, that there are people still existing in this world of dating apps, who have not tasted love. Who have not fallen for someone who have not fallen too. Strange, isn’t it? I know, it rarer than a solar eclipse, but it’s true. You know the feeling, when …

Five things

1. Your skin may never be perfect, and that’s okay. 2. Life is too short not to have the underwear, the coffee, and the haircut you want. 3. Everyone (including your family, your coworkers, and your best friend) will talk about you behind your back, and you’ll talk about them too. It doesn’t mean you …

Love and Anxiety

Someone with anxiety is inclined to assume everyone is going to leave.

First Date

I want you to tell me about every person you’ve ever been in love with. Tell me why you loved them, then tell me why they loved you. Tell me about a day in your life you didn’t think you’d live through. Tell me what the word home means to you and tell me in …

Perfect mold

My mind yearned for something greater  than what I could see , with my own eyes and everyday I thought there was something wrong with me because I was not happy in this life, where an abundance of food grows yet children starve, where the innocent are killed by hatred and war, where unarmed men  …

Sullen Faces

Sullen faces like slates of grey... What I’d seen on a walk today. Bodies rushing bodies bolting Time for life a disregarding. Money to make and to grow old What about the hands to hold? Deadlines, projects, people to meet What about our own two feet. Sullen faces like slates of grey... What I’d see …
