Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman died in Teheran a few days ago, and these days her face won’t leave my mind. She appeared in front of me as I

We are, all of us, born into friction. It takes a few years, with the birth of an Ego, for us to start feeling it, but it’s there, patiently waiting,

Dreamers are sensitive, yes. Sometimes overly sensitive. To be a dreamer is to accept the life of inner pain, even if nothing painful is happening directly to us. We feel

I don’t belong in a world where money is more important than happiness; where success is measured in things, not experiences; where being a person full of life and love

You’re doing great. There really is no need to worry. Make sure you have a comfortable life and add more to it, you deserve it. Make sure you do well

I will rise through this pain, learn from it and never let it close my heart. I will not choose the easiest path out but rather find my way through

When you close your heart to pain, you close it to joy, too. When you protect yourself, build walls so that no one can hurt you, no one can really love you either.

Here I am, just another dying human, fighting to draw yet another breath. I have wasted so many years of my life, but now every second counts and matter. Until

You don’t know my love. You’ve never felt anything like it. You might not even be aware that such a love exists, so how could you want it, or accept

To anyone that felt my intentions were anything but loving and caring – I’m sorry I wasn’t able to find better words or different actions that would show you who

We are so hard on ourselves sometimes. Time flows and things always and inevitably change. If life is good now, there will be a turn up ahead. And the other

We all have our ideas of what love is. We have heard about it; it was shown to us through stories, books, movies. The images and ideas of lovers fighting,

Faith. A simple, five-letter word, probably as equally misunderstood as the word “love”. They share a lot, those two words. They are both used too much and too lightly for

I wanted to write about heartbreaks, but as usual, I had a difficult time focusing on the superficial symptoms and felt myself turning towards the root causes instead. What causes

I know things can get tough sometimes. I know life itself can seem like a heavy burden. I know there are times you suffer. I know you are in pain.

There is friction on the fundamental level, governing our lives from hidden corners of our mind. On one side Life wants us to constantly move, change, learn and grow, to

We only have one Home. And it doesn’t belong to us, any of it. You can’t own Nature – the indigenous nations everywhere know this, they understand they are the

Every now and then we find ourselves in situations when it feels like things just aren’t going our way. We adapt, make new plans, adjust our actions, come up with

Humans are masters of holding on. We hold on to things, ideas, concepts. We hold on to people, friends, lovers, society. We hold on to our beliefs and hopes we

I lay there in the dark, lost within that Ocean of gratitude within me, perplexed and happy; in awe and in wonder. Just a thought, a gentle, quiet reminder of

There is nothing I need to do. You take care of everything for me. It took me a long time to realize it, and even more to relax in it,

I am tethered to your beauty, by the unbreakable line of my awareness and eyes wide open. We are connected in ways beyond my comprehension, but not beyond my reach.

For some people, if asked what a life worth living is, it will be a life of providing for the loved ones, making sure they are safe and taken care

There is a power unlike any other, waiting in plain sight, right there where inhalation ends and exhalation is about to begin; lurking in the space between two thoughts. We

We interact with so many people every day, on one level or another. We smile at the cute stranger passing us by in the street; we exchange few words with

I’m everywhere… in every child, it’s mother and father; every bird, stone, puddle or cloud. I smile through the sunrays and greet you every time you look up to the

The storm came unexpectedly, catching me off-guard. I smiled as my face was hit by wave after wave of raindrops, falling under an angle, not even trying to fight the wind.
