    Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve been asked to listen to an emotional state you never intended to be a part of (as of the moment)? It was a tough time for me, especially when I was about to travel to another city. Why now? Why me? But sometimes, people are selfish. Read more

    The thing with the dreams we have in sleep is that they could turn into nightmares. However, there are times that your waking moment becomes a nightmare too.

  • Broken trust

    I’ve been told at a young age how trust, when broken, becomes difficult to repair. How? Because once you break someone’s trust, your subsequent courses of action may be held with suspicion. Are your motives true? Or are you just putting up a show? Are you telling the truth? And no one wants to become Read more
