  • Rollercoaster life

    Who says life isn’t hard? Who can confidently declare, “I’ve been through a lot, and you’re just touching the tip of the iceberg”? Each individual faces unique struggles and insecurities in life. For some, the challenges may be tougher and rougher, yet they emerge stronger. For others, seemingly minute issues inflict unbearable pain.

    You might have shattered terribly, faced embarrassment to the point of no return, but here you are today, having overcome those trials. I pen down these thoughts to remind myself that everything is fleeting, and there’s a season for everything. Life’s treatment varies—while some may be experiencing smooth sailing, others, like me, are still striving to meet ends meet.

    To some, I might be someone they admire, thinking that I am navigating life effortlessly. It’s akin to a rollercoaster ride; at times, we plummet, take unexpected twists and turns, only to soar again. The uncertainty is challenging, but we persevere, fueled by hope—the guiding light in the dark shadows, leading us towards the exit.

    I acknowledge it’s a perilous fight against an unseen giant, yet we persist, looking at the brighter side of life. I believe we will mark our red-letter day with pride, shedding tears of happiness and accomplishment. Until then, let’s not relinquish hope and continue to march forward, much like soldiers fearlessly advancing for their motherland.

  • Action movie

    If I didn’t need sleep, I would spend all that extra time watching dramas or action series— I’m a bit of an action movie buff, so that would be my go-to activity. Alternatively, I might spend time crocheting and experimenting with new styles on my own. I also enjoy reading novels and books. Gardening is another interest of mine, and I’d love to have a small garden for growing spices and herbs. And, of course, there might be moments where I just sit and scroll through my phone idly. Hehe!

  • Dirty feet Arghh!

    I have some common pet peeves. I can’t stand people who chew loudly or slurp their food while eating. I also feel annoyed when people interrupt me while I am speaking. My mood turns off when I see dirty shoes or feet. Additionally, I feel discomfort around those who judge people based on their makeup or presentation because I prefer minimal makeup and believe in understanding a person’s character.

  • To err is human

    My mother has always been my favorite person. Despite having friends around me, her friendship and companionship cannot be replaced by anyone else. I believe I have become more like her as the days go by. There are times when I get extremely annoyed with her because, you know, to err is human.

    On certain days, I would avoid talking to her and keeping in contact with her. Yet, on those days, I feel restless, and it seems like the days are not fruitful. I used to be very negligent in calling anyone for any matters, yet this year I have been on constant calls with her, talking for hours without any proper topics. And it goes on and on…

    So, she is definitely my favorite person.

  • POPPY the best of all!

    Favorite animal? I don’t have a specific favorite, but if I were to choose, it would be dogs. I remember we had a dog named POPPY when we were young. POPPY was a faithful companion who seemed to understand our language and had a great affection for us. It would even hunt down small animals that posed a threat to our crops and accompany my dad on hunting trips. Unfortunately, POPPY passed away around the age of 10 or 11.

    After that, my parents couldn’t bring themselves to adopt another dog. Some dogs we had later either got lost at a young age or were unfortunately hit by vehicles, especially since we live near the National highway. I miss having such loyal friends around. I recall how, when POPPY was with us, I could confidently stay with my younger siblings in my parents’ absence at night. We knew that POPPY wouldn’t allow anyone to harm us. It used to sleep right outside our bedroom instead of its kennel when our parents were away, guarding us throughout the night without taking a nap. I wish I could meet a dog like POPPY again.
