Dear August (14 August 2026)

Oftentimes, we get stuck in a loop. It's as if a CD is playing again and again. Bro, your life is not a video game. You can choose to take a step and change the reality. Getting out of that loop is hard, especially when you're used to that comfort. I know it feels safe now but it's slowly leading to an abyss. Before it becomes rooted, you need to pluck it out. Pick up your paper and pen, and chalk out the complexity inside your brain on the damn paper. It's gonna solve 50% of the problem, then 40% counts for your mindset and the remaining 10% I taking action. (gross stats) 

Dear July (22-07-26)

You get engulfed in your repeated patterns and you don't even know. You get so immersed in them that you find them normal. They are not. They are hiding something. Peel off layer by layer. There will be more pain after every layer but eventually you see the truth and all the agony seems to disappear after the revelation. These patterns are deep rooted in your traumas. Face them and you shall conquer. 

Dear July (21 July 2026)

It's easier to preach than do. It's easier said than done. This statement has been a primordial truth since ages. I experience this every other day, and today was not different. You go to calm down others' fire when you yourself are burning hot on the inside. In those woven, tangled moments of time, you get to introspect yourself on a deeper level, sometimes finding a solution to a problem you never had. You see the differences and understand but emotion beats logic and you are back to square one again. What do you do? Restart or quit? 

Dear July (18-07-26)

It's okay to rest. Not all days are productive. What is your definition of 'productive' though? For me, it's adding a little more to my treasure of knowledge daily (don't take me wrong, I need to do it, after all I am gonna save lives). My momma says do not do something when you don't feel like doing it. I have never gotten an advice better than this in my entire life. It works every time. Every moment is predecided. No number of vague tries to control anything will succeed. What can one do besides trusting? 

Dear July (16-7-26)

Dear July,

You find so many different ways to humble me. Lessons need to be taught, I know but not at the pace you are racing at. I have learnt to turn the light inwards. It's a refreshing experience, I must say. No amount of control can really alter a scenario. Sometimes, you need to let go. I am not someone who usually writes short sentences but here I am. Time changes, you change. It's never the same July every year. 

Tomorrow I Am Turning 20

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Saying goodbye to the teenage years, 

Bidding adieu to the carefree me,

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Leaving that immature teenager behind,

Reminiscing those sweet moments,

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Remembering those experiences, 

Thanking for every high and low, 

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Shifting to my city of dreams, 

Seeing my hometown one last time, 

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Walking past my beloved school, 

Entering the next prof in uni, 

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

Finishing my 19th with grace, 

Embracing this new adulthood, 

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

With big dreams in my eyes

And trust in my myself, 

Tomorrow I am turning 20.

A Story, Unfinished

As I picked up the quill,

Fear made its home in me.

You became the ink,

Made me believe you were indelible.

The story started,

Oh, how beautifully the quill baltered,

How smoothly it glided over

The fresh piece of paper.

Little did I know,

Endings come way before time.

Even before the warmth of a thread is felt,

It snaps.

Every word on the sheet

Felt like a gaping wound.

The story was left to be incomplete...

But when do quill and ink part ways?

New beginnings never come

Without endings.
