musing – Musings of an unapologetic introvert

the transitional friends (1)

Sometimes, at odd times actually, I miss my people. The ones that always stood by me, the ones who always lifted me up, the ones that were my safe space, my comfort zone. As I am writing this, I am wondering who these people actually are. It’s hard, you know, to keep up with theContinue reading “the transitional friends (1)”

between self & study

I had never realised how important academic validation was for me, until I lost it. I struggle day & night, to get full marks on an assignment, a quiz or maybe a presentation; anything, that’ll boost my self morale. My self esteem varies according to my gpa. I feel insulted whenever i get marks onContinue reading “between self & study”

I see my math teacher trying to teach us, while holding the phone in his hand for an entire hour soContinue reading “Virtual School: (a narration)”

Reconnect

During this period of social distancing, I’ve tried to reconnect with nature.
