Morning Rituals!

I’m naturally nocturnal, yet I’m striving to embrace the early bird lifestyle. As a result, my mornings begin later, with brushing my teeth and taking a bath as my initial rituals. In fact, I don’t even consider breakfast until after I’ve bathed. On weekdays, my routine involves logging into work accompanied by my morning cup Continue reading

The ability to stay calm and make well-considered decisions truly distinguishes a person. We humans are often swayed by our emotions, particularly in matters involving loved ones, leading us to forsake logic and make ill-advised choices.

Unique Essence!

If you desire acceptance for your quirks, you must extend the same courtesy to others. Yet, this reciprocity often goes unfulfilled, rendering such expectations unrealistic and frustrating.

Ideally, I would prefer to say no to many things, but I often find myself hesitating, leading to situations where I felt pressured to comply.
