'I’ve been feeling extremely morose over the past couple of days. I know this may sound a little silly, but I’m actually as sad as those women in their 40′s, 50′s and 60′s out there, who just lost a part of their heart. They lost someone who they’ve grown up watching, admiring and worshipping. They [...]'

The Insignificant Blogpost

'I never get tired of writing about this city. I feel happy, and content that I’m in a slightly sluggish city, where not much moves fast. It gives me time to think, about what I like, and what I don’t. I lead an atrocious amount of time at work, both when I’m at my workplace [...]'

'Finally. Three months. Its been three whole months since I wrote. So much has happened, so much has changed, but I was searching for inspiration.
