Empathy is the best legacy

February 28, 2019

This was a piece of writing I wrote in September 2017, as an entry for a writing competition. I’d like to share it here on my blog.People question why I care so much. I question why they don’t. When I was 15 years old, a close friend of mine told me, “You’re too nice.” I… Read More Empathy is the best legacy

To the person I loved at 16, You told me many years ago that I was special. That I was different. That you loved me because of how much I cared for other people. Then you let me go. The only person who I ever thought cared about me left. And it broke me. Really… Read More Thank You For Breaking My Heart

When Death Helps You to Appreciate Life

August 10, 2018

Earlier this year, my Grandma passed away. I was not aware she was dying. My cousin told me and I rushed over to my Auntie’s house to see her one last time. I held her hand, I told her I loved her, I told her how sorry I was, I cried as I felt utter… Read More When Death Helps You to Appreciate Life

It Does Get Easier. Please Don’t Give Up.

August 2, 2018

It’s been nine months since my last post and yet again, I’ve struggled to keep on top of my blogging. But I’m writing today because the past nine months has been a whirlwind of emotions. In my last post, I wrote about my endless struggles about finding a job and how my first job interview… Read More It Does Get Easier. Please Don’t Give Up.

Being Loved for Who You Are

November 22, 2017

Last month, I had an experience filled with highs and lows. But in my mind, I really struggled to remember the highs. It’s interesting how, we, as human beings, can often struggle to see the good. Even when there is so much of it. In my last entry, I basically alluded to writing more often… Read More Being Loved for Who You Are

Life, Love and Laughter

January 20, 2017

Something pretty amazing happening today. Nothing particularly eventful but pretty amazing for me. Today, I laughed the hardest that I have laughed in the past few weeks. My facial cheeks hurt. My stomach felt pained. I was laughing uncontrollably. So why did my fits of laughter mean so much to me? Because just under a fortnight ago,… Read More Life, Love and Laughter

Can a Person Ever Really Change?

December 17, 2016

There’s been a recurring theme in my life as of late. It’s been the idea of change. Changing beliefs, attitudes, values, perspectives. In my own personal and professional life, circumstances have led to me to ask – is it worth being around people who are no longer conducive to your own happiness? Should you stick around until… Read More Can a Person Ever Really Change?

What I’ve Learnt about Love

January 25, 2015

I was 16 years old the first time I ever fell in love. Or at least, what I felt was love at the time. I was emotionally fragile, vulnerable and incredibly naive. I knew hardly anything about love, just that I wanted to feel loved and appreciated. This person made me feel special for the… Read More What I’ve Learnt about Love

When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

December 17, 2014

About three weeks ago, I attended my husband’s work Christmas party. As always, the venue they’d chosen was beautifully decorated, the food was delicious, and the company was very entertaining. However, what was most memorable had nothing to do with the elegant party itself. Instead, it was what people shared with me about my husband. Two… Read More When You See Yourself Through Others’ Eyes

When Death Puts Life into Perspective

October 15, 2014

Today, I found out that a lady at my eldest daughter’s school passed away this morning. She was the co-ordinator of the out-of-school care program. I’d talked to this lady before. We shared some laughs. I’d regularly thanked her for holding the school gate open for my kids and I. Although I didn’t know her very well,… Read More When Death Puts Life into Perspective
