In 2019, I faced one of the most challenging phases of my life – the passing of my beloved dad. His departure marked the end of an era, leaving an immense void in our family that could never be filled. He was more than just a father; he was a beacon of kindness, generosity, and humor – qualities that shaped my upbringing and continue to inspire me to this day.

My dad was more than just a presence in my life; he was my rock, my confidant, and my biggest supporter. His unwavering love and guidance were the pillars upon which I built my life, and his absence left me feeling adrift, lost in a sea of sorrow and longing.

Even now, years after his passing, I still find myself grappling with the enormity of his absence. There are moments when the pain feels as raw and visceral as it did on that fateful day, moments when I long to hear his voice, feel his embrace, and share a laugh with him once more.

But amidst the sadness and the longing, I find solace in the cherished memories we shared – the laughter-filled family gatherings, the heartfelt conversations, and the quiet moments of connection that bound us together. Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit lives on in the love and warmth he instilled in each of us.

Saying goodbye to my dad was undoubtedly one of the most difficult phases of my life, but it was also a testament to the depth of love and connection we shared. As I continue to navigate life without him by my side, I hold onto the memories we shared and the lessons he imparted, knowing that his love will always guide me through even the darkest of days.

So here’s to you, Dad – the most wonderful father a child could ever ask for. Though you may be gone, your love lives on in my heart, lighting the way forward and giving me strength in moments of darkness. knowing that you are deeply loved and profoundly missed.

Good morning, dear readers,

Hope everyone doing well on this fine morning!

I have never thought of if I could be another person another day!
There are moments when I can’t help but ponder what it would be like to be free from Epilepsy its constraints – to live without the shakes, the absences, and the constant awareness of its presence.

Growing up with epilepsy has been a journey filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs. From the early days of diagnosis to the ongoing management of my condition, I have come to understand the impact that epilepsy can have on every aspect of life – physical, emotional, and social.

There have been times when I’ve felt the weight of epilepsy bearing down on me, limiting my freedom and dictating the course of my days. Simple activities that others take for granted – driving a car, going for a swim, or even enjoying a peaceful night’s sleep – can become fraught with uncertainty and anxiety.

Yet, despite the progress and the moments of acceptance, there are still moments when I find myself yearning for freedom – the freedom to live without the constant fear of seizures, the freedom to pursue my dreams without limitations, the freedom to simply be myself without the shadow of epilepsy looming overhead.

I wonder if I was another person to be free of that feeling to be free like a bird to fly away to not have this condition and not to 2nd guess things and just do them.

But amidst the challenges, there have also been moments of profound clarity and acceptance. I have learned to embrace my condition as a part of who I am, rather than allowing it to define me. I have found strength in the support of loved ones and the understanding of medical professionals. And I have discovered a sense of resilience and determination that has carried me through even the darkest of times.

Stay Positive and be true to yourself .

Me and Husband make a great team when it comes to home improvement projects! While my role may involve more of the planning and decorating side of things, Our efforts contribute to creating a comfortable and inviting space.

Having a dedicated office space in our bedroom is a wonderful addition to our home. It’s important to have a designated area where we can focus and be productive, especially in today’s world where many of us are working remotely.

As for the garden project, sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error to achieve the desired results. It’s great that we and my partner are committed to improving the outdoor space and making it a place where we can relax and enjoy the outdoors. With some additional attention and effort this summer, I’m sure our garden will flourish and become an even more beautiful and enjoyable space for us.

The journey of home improvement is often filled with learning experiences and opportunities for growth. Whether it’s experimenting with different plants in the garden or finding new ways to organize and decorate our indoor spaces, every project is a chance to make our home feel more personaland comfortable for us to call home.
A word to ban

Feb 25th, 2024

Daily writing prompt
If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
View all responses

If we were to consider banning a word from our lexicon, one that often garners contention and can be a source of divisiveness is “hate.” While it’s important to acknowledge and address hate in our society, the word itself has become overused and, at times, misused, leading to desensitization or dilution of its significance.

“Hate” is a powerful word that carries immense weight and conveys strong emotions. However, its frequent usage in various contexts, from trivial matters to serious societal issues, may inadvertently diminish the gravity of genuine instances of hatred and discrimination. Moreover, its indiscriminate application can perpetuate negativity and conflict, hindering constructive dialogue and understanding.

By banning or minimizing the casual use of “hate,” we can encourage more nuanced and thoughtful discussions surrounding topics that warrant serious consideration. This action may prompt individuals to use alternative language that accurately reflects the severity of the situation or emotion they are describing, fostering greater empathy and communication.

What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
View all responses

In the midst of life’s crossroads, where dreams collide with practicalities, it’s natural to feel torn between the familiar comforts of stability and the allure of pursuing my passions. As I navigate the next six months, faced with the choice between staying in an administration job that fails to ignite my passion or taking a leap of faith toward my dream, the road ahead may seem daunting, yet filled with potential.

The struggle between pursuing my dreams and meeting the demands of daily life is a common one, and one that many of us grapple with at some point in our lives. On one hand, there’s the security of a steady paycheck and the comfort of familiarity. On the other, there’s the tantalizing prospect of fulfillment, creativity, and the pursuit of something truly meaningful.

It’s important to recognize that both paths come with their own set of challenges and uncertainties. Staying in a job that doesn’t fulfill you may lead to feelings of stagnation and discontent, while pursuing your dream may require courage, perseverance, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

As I weigh my options in the coming months, take the time to reflect on what truly matters to me. Consider my long-term goals, passions, and values, and ask myself whether my current job aligns with them. Am I willing to sacrifice my dreams for the sake of stability, or am I ready to take a leap of faith and pursue what sets my soul on fire?

Remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this dilemma, and what works for one person may not work for another. It’s okay to take my time, to explore my options, and to seek guidance and support from my trusted friends, family members, or mentors.

Ultimately, the choice is mine to make, and whatever decision I come to, know that it’s okay to prioritize my own happiness and well-being. Whether I choose to stay in my current job or pursue my dream, know that every experience is a stepping stone on the path to discovering my true purpose and fulfilling my potential.

So as I navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the next six months, trust in myself and my ability to make the right decision for me. Embrace the journey, and know that wherever it leads, I am one step closer to living a life that’s authentically mine.

With courage and conviction,
To my Teenage Self

What advice would you give to your teenage self?
View all responses

If I could turn back the hands of time and offer a piece of advice to my teenage self, it would be this: be more confident, worry less about what others think, and embrace every opportunity that comes your way.

As a teenager, it’s easy to feel self-conscious and to constantly second-guess yourself. I spent far too much time worrying about how I was perceived by others, afraid to speak up or take risks for fear of failure or rejection. But looking back, I realize that these fears held me back from fully embracing life and all it had to offer.

So to my teenage self, I would say this: believe in yourself. You are capable of more than you know, and the only limits that exist are the ones you place on yourself. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, share your ideas, and stand up for what you believe in. Your voice matters, and your perspective is valuable – so don’t be afraid to let it be heard.

And remember, it’s okay to make mistakes. Failure is not the end of the road, but rather a stepping stone on the path to growth and self-discovery. Don’t let the fear of failure hold you back from taking chances and pursuing your dreams. Take risks, step out of your comfort zone, and don’t be afraid to fail – because in doing so, you’ll learn valuable lessons and come out stronger on the other side.

Above all, remember to be kind to yourself. You are unique, you are worthy, and you are deserving of love and acceptance just as you are. Embrace your quirks, celebrate your strengths, and never apologize for being authentically you.

So to my teenage self, I say this: be confident, be bold, and be unapologetically yourself. The world is waiting for you to shine, so don’t hold back – go out there and show them what you’re made of.

As I sit here in my cozy office, the gentle pitter-patter of rain outside providing a soothing backdrop to my thoughts, I find myself reflecting on the beauty of embracing variety in life. You see, I’ve come to realize that routine and monotony are not for me – whether it’s the predictable rhythms of administrative work or the slow-paced innings of a cricket match, I crave excitement, spontaneity, and a dash of adventure to keep life interesting.

Now, don’t get me wrong – I appreciate the simple pleasures of a rainy day spent indoors, wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and a good book or movie. There’s something undeniably comforting about the warmth and coziness of home, especially when contrasted with the chilly embrace of a rainy day outside. But even on days like these, I can’t help but feel a restless energy stirring within me, urging me to break free from the confines of routine and seek out new experiences that spark joy and excitement.

It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of variety in life – of stepping outside our comfort zones, trying new things, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s embarking on a spontaneous road trip with friends, trying out a new hobby or activity, or simply exploring the world around us with open eyes and a curious heart, there’s a whole world of adventure waiting to be discovered.

Here’s to embracing variety, seeking out new experiences, and making every moment count. Whether it’s a rainy day spent indoors or an exhilarating adventure waiting just around the corner, let’s seize the day and make the most of every opportunity that comes our way.

With warmest regards,
