One night this week, when my insomnia was intense, I took a break from my usual window shopping (digitally that is). I looked through the folders on my phone to clear out any unnecessary photos or videos, like duplicates, old ones, or anything that is no longer needed. The first folder I looked through happenedContinue reading “Seconds before disaster”

Ready. Set. Adapt!
It’s been a little over two weeks since I broke my ankle. And much like my previous medical experiences, it felt like those weeks crept and flew by at the same time. I thought we had crossed the hardest part of the process – being the surgery and the first couple of days. But lifeContinue reading “Ready. Set. Adapt!”
Broken, but not broken
Nothing cements the end of a cross country move like an unexpected surgery! Our little fam has been praying about moving to a bigger city for years, and each time it was a resounding “not yet”. Until this year, when God finally gave us the clear message that now is the time to go. AndContinue reading “Broken, but not broken”
Struggling
I recently learnt something, that I wish I could unlearn, about a couple of people whom I thought I’d become close to… It wasn’t a shocking revelation or even surprising really. But still, the wave of shock managed to wash away the thin veil of the benefit of the doubt that kept long-held suspicions neatly fromContinue reading “Struggling”
Scanxiety
This month is check-up month and the scanxiety is real. I find it much easier to not worry about the outcome when the appointments are still a couple of months away. “Out of sight, out of mind,” as the saying goes. But once the notifications become visible in my calendar, the little gremlin of fearContinue reading “Scanxiety”
The boy who changed it all…
I’m a sucker for a good love story. Whether a rom-com film or an enemies-to-lovers story in an epic fantasy book, the warm and fuzzies don’t discriminate… Having recently celebrated my fav human’s birthday, I could not help find myself reminiscing on everything we shared together. It is not a story of love at firstContinue reading “The boy who changed it all…”
Growth
2023 was hard. I changed jobs… twice. I was hoping the change in environment would solve the anxiety and panic issues I was struggling with and help to relieve debilitating migraines I was suffering from. In retrospect, it was like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound – not really properly addressing the root ofContinue reading “Growth”
Change is as good as a rest?
I never really understood what people meant when they said: change is as good a rest or a holiday. I’m fairly good at a adapting in the moment to a sporadic change. But big life changes causes me so much anxiety. I like to know a process or an outcome, so I can be sureContinue reading “Change is as good as a rest?”
All things come to an end
Yesterday marked the end of an era for me – it was my very last day of working for my previous employer. It was an weighted decision that came after many prayers and internal debates. I had walked those halls for eight years… Some of my biggest battles and also even bigger victories happened duringContinue reading “All things come to an end”
It’s not me… it’s my hormones.
I recently had my usual check ups done – still no sign of recurrence!! We did learn that my ovaries are no longer producing enough estrogen, which is par for the course if I’m honest. My body keeps finding fun ways of surprising me with new things to deal with. I, not really being superContinue reading “It’s not me… it’s my hormones.”
