Denmark truly is the happiest place on Earth, or at least it was while I lived there from 2007-2010. I was in high school and being the daughter of a diplomat, I was used to changing countries every few years, but my heart never broke the way it did when I left that place.

Monday is Back!
As another week begins, I can't help but wonder why all this hate keeps spewing for Monday. I get it, I really do. Saying goodbye to the weekend is no easy job. I know, I was planning to be sound asleep an hour ago. Yet, here I am ready for bed but not really in … Continue reading Monday is Back!

Truly, the purpose of life cannot be simply living the same day again and again. This rut is unbearable. I don't … Continue reading Routine Rut
Making The Day Count
I think in the routine-grind of every day, we all forget to tend to our own needs, wants and desires. With a hectic lifestyle, and no rest for the entire week, we get so drained and most of us don't even notice it. That's why I have decided to start doing at least one thing … Continue reading Making The Day Count
The Gift of Silence
Today after a really long time, I have felt happy; like, genuinely, from head to toe, nothing-can-get-in-my-way, happy. And the reason is quite remarkable.

I got to listen to a lot of things today; from getting … Continue reading The Gift of Silence
