A Juxtaposition of Self
In the world we live in today, people surround themselves with positivity to validate who they are as people (and I am no exception.) One such example is body positivity, the celebration of self. Fundamentally, it’s a form of self-acceptance. Often times, however, it’s mislabeled as self-love. This, to me, is a distinction that is […]

The Power of Words
I believe in the power of words. Because when we do not speak, when words are stuck in our throat with nowhere to go- we choke. It is in the choking silence that we are bound to endure, to suffer, to be oppressed. It is this silence that fuels the oppressors, the tyrants, the dictators, […]
This I believe: Freedom
Freedom. The power to act, speak, or think as one wants without being subjected to any consequences. Freedom a word with different meaning, so contagious people die for. To liberate yourself from all bondage and obstacles enables you to access freedom. Being free from the norms set by society, being free to walk my own […]
