A profile you should checkout, I swear it's not mine.

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...

only the young

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.

Making friends as an introvert

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...

Run, before they get to you.

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

Steps to productivity

Watching Netflix, partying and jamming to music are all fun but somewhere at the back of your head all the unfinished assignments remind you of reality. All of us have procrastinated at some point in our life. Last summer, I decided to change my life and put an end to this fatal disease, yes a disease that will not stop spreading until you tackle it. Here are some steps that have helped me get through procrastination: Make a to do list Make a list of EVERYTHING that needs to get done. Include things like taking a shower, doing your nails, eating food etc. that way you'll get used to the feeling of checking things off a list and will want to do it more often. There are several apps available to help you make a to do list. Personally, I prefer using a handwritten list as it has proven to be more effective and therapeutic for me. Making a list allows you to organize  helps you organize your tasks into one piece if paper, that way you won't forget to do anything. S...

K drama - a beginners guide

Welcome to drama-land, I've been here for 5 years now and don't plan on leaving anytime soon. If you've finally decided to check out what the hype about kdramas is, I believe I can help. Here are five things you need to know : 1. Keep an open mind. Remember that Asian dramas are quite different from American or British TV shows, simply because of a huge difference in culture. 2. A typical Korean drama does not exceed 20 episodes, most dramas are only 16 episodes long with one hour each episode. So, watching a kdrama doesn't really take long, which is why there are MANY korean dramas with different genres to try. New Korean dramas are available almost every other day.  3. Romance is usually limited to cute scenes between the couples and kissing. But, even these scenes are quite heartwarming and can teach you different ways to express love.  ( via thatrandomgirlxx )  4. Korea is known for high fashion, and a good Korean drama will definit...
