People do whatever they can to keep themselves happy. Every single act of ours is an unconscious step in the direction to find happiness. Some find it along the way, some pin it on a destination, some attach it to a person, and some believe that it will be found in the world beyond. Making... Continue Reading →
Because I Can Instagram
I am no photographer. We've got that out of the way. However, I do admire how some people take to photography like fish to water.

A World Without Borders
Sometimes, I wish I could live in a world without borders; any kind of borders. I wish I could rise above my anger and not allow it to overpower my sanity. I wish that I could forgive without someone inside me asking me to; and then forget. I wish that I could let go of... Continue Reading →
