The victimhood narrative is so easy to fall into. Someone did something, and now I’m suffering. It sounds comforting, like a black-and-white, mind-numbing Doordarshan movie that won national awards. But here’s the thing, it’s the most loved narrative. I was no different. I went to my spiritual mentor, heartbroken, wailing, and told him my entire sad […]
Pain of Break up Tons have been written about the feeling of being discarded after a breakup, like you’re a piece of crap. It is all true and then some. The pain is incredible.

Every random or discarded piece has some hidden value (of course, some never do, but that’s rare!), and watching them transform into something meaningful is simply amazing. For me, the […]
