I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
She sat in the cabin listening to the cracking and crackling window. Soon enough the windows would shatter and shutter. No need to pretend that the pain was both real and surreal. And so was the duality of life. A rose dripping in blood would be […]
As I write this, I am alternating between having the giggles, feeling guilty and repeatedly singing (and wanting to mute myself) “It’s a small world after all.” Talk about a horrifying earworm. But before I explain my current state of being, let me provide a backdrop. I am […]
I am a clumsy person by nature. Ever since I can remember, I have been twisting my ankles, walking into walls and just generally walking a zig zag pattern. If people didn’t know better, they would think I am drunk. I’d like to attribute my clumsiness to the […]
