Image from pinterest. This is me penning down random ideas... Some days I am shy to take up space, To dress too prettily.

THE HARD DAYS.
Source: Pinterest. Life is beautiful. The unexpected turns are what keeps us on our toes. The uncertainties, the almost event..

WORD TRANSPORT
I remember the first time I was transported by a book. Ok, maybe not the exact first time but the time I became capable of conceiving consciousness. The feeling was surreal, almost eternal.

I… Continue reading Love, Trust and Betrayal
