Going The Distance In My Country

The Discover Prompt word of the day is “distance”. There’s so much to write on distance. Here are the two facts you need to know about me before you read this blog – I hail from India. I’ve lived in India my whole life. Moved cities within the country but never really lived outside the…

Looking for something to believe in

Discover prompt for the day is “pairs” and I’ve had such crazy thoughts about what to write. I want to write about something happy but I think this post is going to be introspective. Do you believe in love? Do you believe that there is someone out there for everyone? Do you believe in soulmates?…
