  "I think I'll miss you forever like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky" Dearest stranger,  I still remember the first time we met, our very first encounter.  The one where I was oblivious to the sunrises we will watch together, the pain we will share, and the tunes we will create memories to.  I still remember the longer days. Now I lay in bed and reminisce   to the memories of a stranger. Where are you now?  Has any of your wishes come to life?  Did your mom finally approve of the girl you love?  I don't clearly remember your last name, but I do remember how insecure you are about the birthmark that lays underneath your ear.  I guess that's a trick the universe does  it throws people in our path  in a temporary situation  they eventually leave and take a piece of our heart with them  we end up missing them all our life  We reminisce on a memory with a person who's name and face are a blur in our minds, ...

They found the love of their life and decided to dedicate their life to their families and homes. Others, have or are on the verge of graduating and have found full time jobs, 9-5 with deadlines and a fixed salary at the beginning of each and every month. Others, have applied for scholarships and ma...

Miles  away from home, and yet on another very random travel adventure I met "Emotional Intelligence". Emotional Intelligence, at the time, was being read by my roommate. It was our companion just laying there on the night stand since the very first day of our trip.  Personally, I'm someone who is attracted by self-help books. They are either very helpful or very triggering and infuriating and honestly who wouldn't sign up for a book that points out all the bullshit they do?  "Our emotions are built up of three aspects physical, behavioral, and cognitive"  The first  chapter of the book said. Fast forward a few days later I get back home and my very own package is there with the book inside it and so the journey begins.  Emotional Intelligence is a book that offers very simple approaches to emotions, while keeping in mind their complexity. The book tells you the different aspects of emotions, how they affect you, and others. More importantly how you could m...
