I'm a psychology student and one of the perks of being in a psychology class is being surrounded by inquisitive friends who aren't afraid to talk about abstract human emotions like anger,  arousal and love. A few days into the quarantine,  a friend and I were texting (social distancing check ) . She asked - What is love?  This question lead to an intense two hour long dialogue in which our opinions on romantic love were exchanged. The following passage is inspired by our conversation that day. According to the all knowing reservoir  of Google,  love is  'an intense feeling of deep affection'. Just reading those words out loud  makes me want to cringe hard. Somehow, I can understand familial love and affection towards friends. We've all been exposed to it in some form during our early years. But, romantic love? Is that an actual thing ? Or a treacherous   scheme  by the society to trap innocent people for  procreation purposes. Convince them that love exis

It was another day at college, this one in particular was quite bad. Not really sure what happened, but I just wasn’t feeling it. I felt like nothing I do would ever be significant and wanted to be left alone. I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, trying to avoid any possible human interaction when I came across a post that said : Ron is a writer and he loves coffee, it’s obvious because his Instagram handle is ‘payformycoffee’. Maybe stumbling upon his page was not life changing but a necessary reminder for me. This year is definitely a memorable year, and for obvious reasons, not really one with many happy memories (at least so far). I know it’s only March but it feels like a decade has passed. Everyday when so many people are facing life threatening situations, I can’t help but get overwhelmed. However, this post showed me that the little things in life, often those which we fail to acknowledge, matter. I've come so far in life, grown so much and I haven’t even reali

Yup, I rigged the title from a Taylor swift song. Just want to remind you that TODAY you're young, this moment will NEVER come again. You will never be as young as you are at this moment. So fun, do what you want, pursue your dreams.  Right now I have zero motivation to create, write or publish an article. However, I owe it to my goal (post every week) and that's what I'm doing right now.  I shall treat this log as my journal today. Nothing significant has happened on this website until now, only a handful of people see the articles (very grateful for those few) and I'm not sure if anyone even reads them. But, in a way, it makes me more comfortable to write so freely about nothing in particular.  Today was a good day, it was Valentine's day. Nothing special has occurred and I have had yet another opportunity to pursue my dreams. I have indulged in self care, braided my hair and did my nails.  I shall now end my useless log now. Until Friday,  hx.

Being an introvert, it's easy to just be alone, we feel comfortable with our own selves and don't necessarily require other people around us. However, as much as we would like to live on our beds all day, it is important to make friends and meet new people. The world is a social place where daily interaction amongst human beings is unavoidable. Then, how is it that we, as introverts can get out of our bubble of warmth and face the world? Growing up, making friends was never easy for me. I would overthink every conversation I had with people and tell myself I was better off being quite. I looked like an anxious puppy everytime I approached a person. So, I had very few friends, but the ones I made were precious to me. It took a while to get out of this phase. Now, in college I have improved and have been able to meet new friends without much difficulty. Here are three simple tips that I would suggest you try: Small talk is unavoidable As much as we all hate small

Don't be angry!, they said. Do not show your tears. Do not be vulnerable, even if you are, don't let them see. Why blame the society, when 'loved ones' force a mask on us. Somewhere down the line,  My mask and I became one.                                                -plastic and fragile
