Drive: A short poem
What is your drive may I ask? What is your motivation to finish a task? Is it to feel good and keep up the mask. And just do it by rote like Jack does at dusk. Or is there something more strong driving you from within. The force that helps to get every win. Just […]
Feel
Feel: A short poem People remember you by how you make them feel. So be kind and always share the goodwill. A smile, a hello or a wave are the real seals. Even though it may not seem to be a great deal. A kind gesture maybe the focus of the days upheaval. Let that […]
Cherry Blossoms and 5 minute walks

Ode to kindred spirits

All our life events play an important role in shaping our personalities. I realised many things about […]
Glow from the Inside
