Tea with Beatrice

“And I says to her, I like people, ya know? Not in-de-vedge-you-ally, but in the background. I enjoy seeing ’em in the evenings, it’s nice to see couples walking around, kids with their parents. Now, when it comes to large gatherings, you’ll never see me there! I always say that I’m sick and coming down … More Tea with Beatrice

Summer Slumber

The sweet, heady smell of mangoes filled her up with a lazy kind of joy. Droplets of sweat were taking root in the crevices of her body. She lifted her face to gaze at the lithe morning sky, burning with the anticipation of something that she could not quite fathom. She took a sip of … More Summer Slumber

This color of skin

“Run!” she cried. “Run!” Gunshots.  She woke up in a cold sweat, shivering.  “Hey honey.”  “Hey dad.” “You look tired.” “Yeah. I had a nightmare again.” “The same one?” “Yeah.” She trembled involuntarily. “Where’s mom?” “Still sleeping. So is your brother.” She looked out the window. The sky was a lovely mauve, the lavender of … More This color of skin

Ranga’s Marriage: Hypocritical Socio-political Agendas in the 21st Century

We have a chapter in our textbook which is pro-child marriage, and that’s … More Ranga’s Marriage: Hypocritical Socio-political Agendas in the 21st Century

Photo Dump with Frens

My friends and I met up, and one of them is obsessed with taking pictures of everything. The following ensued: We’d decided on making brownies and pizza, and another friend’s mom made this delicious, creamy farfalle that I fell in love with. There are these mini stray cats with their momma who come to whine … More Photo Dump with Frens

Self-Acceptance

It’s been a long time since I’ve written something like this (it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything, frankly), but I really feel like this is something that needs to be talked about. I haven’t been much of a person that’s been affected by my body image or insecure about my looks. My … More Self-Acceptance

Rainy Day Playlist

That’s literally what I named this playlist. Since I’ve been a bitch and neglected my blog, I felt the need to post something. It’s raining where I am, and it’s lovely. These are a few songs I put together that I think sound so good on a rainy day. What are your favorite songs to … More Rainy Day Playlist

de nature

bonjour mes amis (i’m feeling very french today). I went on a walk with my friend yesterday and happened to see these beauties on the side (they’ve always been there, but I never thought to take pictures of them). I played around with the filters (a lot) and these are the result!

Hedy, I tried.

Hedy, I think this sorta worked out? I was feeling rather whimsical today morning, so after making the Mother’s Day card that I forgot to make, I started doodling with some watercolor. This is ze result. Does it work?
