The Beginning of the Rest of My Life

May 30, 2022

Trigger warning: Child abuse, sexual assault. Last week was by far, one of the most emotional weeks of my life. I had been building myself up for something, knowing full well that that day would leave me feeling anxious, stressed, emotional, and confused. That day was all those emotions and more. But I have now… Read More The Beginning of the Rest of My Life

Making Time for Loved Ones

July 22, 2014

I’m not someone who believes in having regrets. I believe that sometimes life could have turned out differently. I believe that sometimes we could have made better choices. But I don’t believe in holding onto the past. No matter how much we wish things were different, the truth is – they can’t be. However, I think we can learn… Read More Making Time for Loved Ones

Progress Takes Time

June 2, 2014

A friend of mine once said that I was the most positive person they knew. As positive as I am though, even I have my down days. I’ve had some ups and downs recently, both in my personal and professional life. These challenges have affected my self-esteem, my confidence, and even my positive attitude. I’ve… Read More Progress Takes Time

Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

March 7, 2013

There was always this inside joke between my friend and I. She would joke that I basically knew the answer to everything. Whenever something was troubling her and she needed advice, she would always come to me. I was not only her friend but her confidant – someone who she could depend on to provide… Read More Life Doesn’t Come with an Instruction Manual

The Act of Forgiveness

September 18, 2011

I have recently learnt a lot about the act of forgiveness and how important it is in moving forward. As human beings, we are bound to hurt others or ourselves; and at times, do or say things that we later come to regret. But in realising that we all make mistakes, we are able to… Read More The Act of Forgiveness

Moving Forward

July 18, 2011

Sometimes when we think back to our past, we can’t help but be filled with regret. There are some things we wish didn’t happen, some things we wish we could change, and even some things we are ashamed of. But the importance of moving forward lies in knowing that these things are not always within… Read More Moving Forward
