The suddenness! The sheer suddenness of the move. The unexpected nature of the move. The unpredictability of the move. The fact that there was no warning! 2020 has been an absolute shit show, and even though I was delusional enough to think this would be my year, it, in some way, was. But before I [...]

One Day At A Time
With how busy work has kept me, every post I put up on here has started to look similar. Maybe because I’ve run out of ideas or I have more to say. But now that we’re here let’s talk about it. I keep mentioning how difficult the pandemic has been for me mentally, and while [...]
Somebody That I Used To Know
For some reason, I can’t seem to stay away from toxicity, which sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud. No, I’m not attracted to or drawn towards toxicity, but at this point, I do seem to understand what is and isn’t toxic. While it does sound like an imperative quality most would have, I [...]
Call Me Shakesqueer!
I’ve always been immensely proud of my sexuality, and make sure people know, not because I think it is cool, but because I want people to acknowledge it. And despite being so sure of my own, I never really knew or understood what the community or the situation surrounding queer people was. I still to [...]
Landslide
You never really know when it can hit you. One day you’re by yourself, just having the time of your life, and then boom, out of nowhere, you’re not yourself anymore. Every little thing feels like too much and nothing at all, at the same time. It’s dark and too bright, quiet and too loud, [...]
Is Your Love In Vain?
A wise man named Tanmay Bhat once said Pyaar Ek Dhoka Hai, which translates to Love Is A Hoax. Love, as a notion, can be both enchanting and remarkably bizarre. While there’s a small majority of people who don’t care for this thought, most of us understand what love is, and a majority even add [...]
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
This constant state of ‘what even’ has been my favourite chore of 2020 so far! I feel like you have been my therapist more than my readers because ah shit, here we go again! Settle down, and prepare yourselves for another rant session with your favourite pessimist. When all of this first started, I remember [...]
Why Selective Sexism Can Be Problematic?
We always talk about how women have had to go through so much oppression to even survive in a patriarchal world like ours. But even though they seem to have it all, some things just don’t seem to sit well with me. It may not seem like it’s a huge deal, but I feel like it [...]
How Is Netflix Profiting Off Your Rage?
“Hey, do you want to come over to Netflix and Chill?” Not only has this phrase become a very repetitive meme, but it is also an incredibly lame pick up line most people use on dating apps! And from what I remember, Netflix was considered to be a big streaming giant. However, in their peak, [...]
That’s What I’m Stalking About!
“Hey, I was stalking going through your Instagram page the other day, whatever happened to that guy you were dating?” There have been countless occasions where most of us, me included, have used the word stalking in jest. It’s almost become a joke regarding how quick girls can stalk someone’s profiles just to collect “receipts”. [...]
