A reverberation of the past
Help me! she says as she trips back into the hole, Sin, not gravity, pulling her back to her roots, “I sensed you were near, dear” reverberates the familiar voice, “Nothing much has changed here since, just follow the rules.” // She is addicted to all the bad things they warned you about, Misogynists, liars, […]
The irreplaceable you
Existence is not accidental. The universe works in a certain way for a reason, be it good, bad or horrifying. Humans are born, birds lay eggs, plants reproduce; even the dispersal of the smallest seed into the ground is consequential. Nothing would be the same, if even one minuscule thing that exists on this planet […]
A temporary forever?
“If that blue could stay forever, if that hole could remain forever; if this moment could stay forever” -Virginia Woolf Forever. The simple utterance of this word has the power to get back a person, a place or a distinct memory in millions of minds, all in the matter of a mere second; but what […]

The paradoxical being
Conflict is one of the most essential parts of being human. It forms the main essence of psychology of the human mind and challenges one’s potential. It is a romanticized contradiction of one’s conscious and subconscious minds, thus displaying a strange beauty of its own kind. // Whether be it emotions, moods, relationships or values, […]
Soul capitalism
The universe is a funny concept, it has brought into existence the human species and made 7.5 billion copies of it over time, and to add on to the humor each one of these copies is so different yet so similar. The physiological makeup is more or less the same in all humans, however the […]
Confessions of a millennial
We live in a world filled with coffee addicts, Snapchat filters, ripped jeans, memes and let’s not forget, Beyonce’! Our generation seem to range from a variety of innocent caffeine addicts to homeless adults going through mid-life crisis, yet we are a generation filled with power, integrity and virtue as never seen before. // We […]
