There are some songs that feel less like music and more like an excavation — digging through layers of past hurt, survival, grit, and finally, fragile hope. Kesha’s “Praying” is one of those songs for me. It’s not just a melody; it’s a full body memory, a tremor […]
Ah, May. My birth month. The month of mothers. The month of rebirth, blooms, and “let’s brunch in a garden” energy. I adore May with a passion reserved for vintage earrings and hot coffee on cool mornings. But this May? This May is testing me. Testing my will, […]
It’s Monday. Again. The eternal return. The alarm clock’s betrayal. The caffeine scramble. That moment you look in the mirror and say, “Is this the week I finally catch up… or unravel spectacularly with flair?” But lo and behold—it’s Cinco de Mayo! And while I’m not a margarita […]
Let’s talk about something no one put on their vision board in January: curated nostalgia. It’s not just a vibe. It’s a survival mechanism. And it might just be the most underrated form of self-care we’ve got. You see, I’ve been time-traveling lately—not via DeLorean, but through carefully […]
Does karma have a deadline? It’s a question I keep circling back to like that leftover Tupperware you keep meaning to clean out but instead just open, smell, and regret. I believe in karma. I do. Firmly. Deeply. With Bronx-born intensity. I believe what you put out there […]
There I was, watching the first episode of White Lotus, sipping my caffeine of choice, expecting satire, sunburns, and a healthy dose of awkward privilege. But then came that line— “Let us calm our chattering monkey minds.” I snorted. Laughed. Paused the show. Because honestly, that one hit […]
So I spotted a tiny rash the other day and my first thought wasn’t “maybe I brushed against a bush” or “I should change my detergent.” No. My brain, in its glorious hypochondriac majesty, screamed MEASLES. Not mild skin irritation, not a rogue mosquito bite—nope, full-on outbreak, cue […]
Sometimes, you just have to do it. You have to open up your streaming app of choice, lower your standards to basement-level, and dive headfirst into the cinematic dumpster fire that is purposefully bad movies. Not ironically. Not as background noise. No. You commit. And reader, I committed […]
There’s a certain kind of song that punches you right in the feels. I’m talking Coldplay’s “Hymn For The Weekend” — (“Put your wings on me”) — and of course, the iconic Bette Midler “Wind Beneath My Wings.” Go ahead, roll your eyes. It’s okay. They’re the kind […]
The other night, in a haze of weeknight exhaustion and leftover takeout, I found myself rewatching Notting Hill. Yes, that wonderfully charming ’90s rom-com where Hugh Grant blinks his way into Julia Roberts’ superstar heart. I was ready for the famous lines — “I’m just a girl, standing […]
