The more we read, the more we grow — and I’m learning right along with you! So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let’s journey through words together. ☕💭
There’s a phase many parents know all too well — when your child confidently declares, “I know that!” before you’ve even finished your sentence.You could be explaining why the moon looks bigger some nights or why broccoli is good for health, and there it comes — the proud, pre-installed “I know that.”And you stand there,...

Some mornings I wake like an unplugged phone,Battery drained, spirit half gone.Mind says, “Maybe let’s quit today,”Body replies, “We can’t — bills don’t delay!”I drag my soul with a cup of tea,Whispering, “Wake up, world — and me!”My thoughts yawn wider than my mouth,While dreams still sleep in a cozy drought.But life’s not built on...

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.

Struggle — a word that makes most of us roll our eyes, sigh dramatically, and wish for an easier life. But here’s the plot twist: the struggle isn’t your enemy; it’s your secret personal trainer — shaping your strength, resilience, and character quietly behind the scenes.“A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled...

There’s a tiny gym inside your mind,With treadmills of dreams you’ve yet to find.Weights of worry stacked so high,And mirrors reflecting your why.Motivation’s not some sparkly guest,It skips the lazy, tests the rest.It snoozes when you sit and wait,But wakes when effort lifts its weight.Each “I’ll do it later” is a skipped rep done,Each “let’s...

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. Because here’s the truth nobody told us in school: motivation isn’t magic — it’s a muscle. And just like your abs (that you swear you’ll find... Continue Reading →
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...
