NOW = PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

I turned 20 this year. 2 whole decades. I reminisce to the moments that led up to this point, some I remember- some I have long forgotten. I am learning to cherish every moment, cherish the present because in no time it becomes a distant memory. Music I used to love, people I used to know, places I used to go, things I used to enjoy, dreams I used to have- all of it, almost forgotten. Sometimes we would sit, high out of our minds, reminiscing- “Remember when we used to go to June 12?”, “Remember when we were in the hostel?”, “I wonder where A is right now. I remember when we used to go out together.” Talking about alternate dimensions and different choices we would have made, where it would have led us to, where we would be if we had done certain things differently- but we sit content and we’re happy, not in another place but this place, not for another hour but this hour and that’s all that would ever matter. It’s absolutely crazy how time flies, and through it all I’ve be...

TOP GIRL LIFESTYLE? FIRST BLOG POST!

  Hey.   You look so beautiful when you smile, please don't stop.   I have started this post so many times in my head but I kept on doubting my ability to articulate sentences on the screen. You see, I haven’t written in the longest – but, BeyoncΓ© wasn’t built in a day, so you have to be patient with me.πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… This week, I jotted down so many things in my note – including random song lyrics, fleeting thoughts, affirmations, names (like, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Donatella Versace). *Insert laughing emoji*   One thing that really stood out was the power of new beginnings and determination.   I am a big advocate of starting over and over and over again until you find your feet. I believe in giving yourself as many chances as needed. Then I thought to myself, maybe I like the idea of starting over because I'm scared of moving to the next stage. Ouch   I am not perfect. I am soooo scared of failing that I would rather remain in my comfort zone than...
