Welcome to Sharon’s Read and Reflect — a cozy corner for curious minds and wandering thoughts! ✨ I’m Sharon Clara Fernandes, someone who believes reading adds wings to the mind and writing gives it a voice. 📚 Here, I pour my thoughts, a dash of humor, and a sprinkle of reflection into every piece I write.

There’s a shelf in my brain, a dusty one too,Stacked with old worries—some vintage, some new.A few labelled “Regrets”, one “What-ifs” in blue,And a whole box marked “Stuff I Can’t Undo.”So, I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed a mop made of hope,To tidy those thoughts that made it hard to cope.Tossed out old grudges—expired, stale...

Let’s face it — life today feels like a never-ending episode of “Who Wants to Be Stressed for No Reason?”From juggling deadlines, kids, family, and phones that refuse to stop buzzing, we’ve somehow normalized exhaustion as an achievement. We sip our morning coffee like it’s liquid hope and still wonder why peace feels like an... Continue Reading →
Have you ever replayed an argument in your head so many times that it deserves an Oscar nomination?

Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and wondered, “Is this the same person who swore last night to wake up early, meditate, and drink green juice?”Yeah… me too.Some mornings, we wake up ready to conquer the world.

Have you ever woken up, stared at your to-do list, and thought, “Maybe I’ll just start tomorrow?” Don’t worry — you’re not lazy. You’re just out of shape… mentally.

Between smiles and sighs, emotions hide,We wear strength, but cracks reside.It’s not the storms that tear hearts apart—It’s the silent rain inside the heart. 💔 Have you ever noticed how it’s not the big storms that sink most relationships—but the slow leaks we ignore for years? The tiny hurts. The unspoken “I wish you understood.”... Continue Reading →

When the city hum fades to a whispering breeze,And worries melt under swaying trees,The sky wears smiles in shades of blue,And time decides—“I’ll slow down too.”A squirrel holds meetings on mango trees,While butterflies gossip with honeybees,A brook hums tunes with no degree,Yet sings of joy far better than we.Shoes feel shy; they slip away,As toes...

What brings you peace? Peace. Such a short word for such a vast feeling. Some find it in mountains, others in meditation, but I often find it in the most unexpected corners of my everyday life.Take, for example, the bliss of hearing someone say, “Thanks, Sharon, for listening.” That’s not just a polite phrase; it’s...
