A lawyer by profession. A cynic by observation. Civilised in conduct. Uncompromising in thought. Occasionally amused by humanity.

Once you have kids, every snack you buy is a family snack, no matter where you hide it.

A group chat is just 40 people waiting for one person to say yes first.

The right people never start with "we need to talk." Your mug is already next to theirs.

Being an adult is getting excited about a package even though you know it's a phone charger.

Not everyone who smiles with you genuinely wishes you well. Pay attention to actions, not just words. Time reveals everything.

Life has given me the benefit of a doubt- a pause between the fall and the impact, a thin breath of space where certainty loosens its grip I learned that truth rarely arrives whole It comes fractured, asking to be held gently, asking to be questioned without fear Life did not promise clarity It offered something harder and more precious- the chance to choose... And so I stand in the doubt not lost, not weak- but awake...🌹

The truth is that this heart of yours is wide enough to hold both the pains of human existence and the ecstasy of sublime happiness... And it also knows how to grieve, and how to hope at the same time how to completely shatter and also, in the very same breath, to heal... It has been doing this for you, since forever. That is exactly what it was meant for...🌹

Maybe we should take things just as they are. Not question. Not doubt. But believe that everything that happens was meant to happen. The good. The bad. That it all has a reason, even when we cannot understand. Perhaps understanding was never the point.🌹

I have learned a lot from the waves-no matter how many times they break, they never give up on their shore.

Suddenly, the love I've been waiting for, came. It sat next to me like sunrise. Miracles always come by surprise.

One by one, his walls fell before her. And she didn't have much to do but love him.

I like people who fall for other people without worrying if there will be someone there to catch them

Some people enter your life without making a sound. And somehow, they become the loudest heartbeat in your silence.

When you laugh, do it out loud. When you cry, cry your heart out. Never leave things half done. Life was never meant to be lived halfway.

Being an authentic soul means that the world will always feel the urge to test your character. People will try to interfere with your path, only to end up delaying theirs. They confuse your confidence with arrogance and your authenticity with pride. They want to teach you a lesson and 'get you off your high horse'. Yet, your light ends up being their teacher. They're forced to learn that you can't sabotage truth. Your character isn't just a gimmick, it's a frequency. You are who your energy says you are. Your truth was forged in battles. With each battle won, a new layer was added to your personality. While they were busy judging your book by its cover, you were winning yet another battle. Now they're realizing that the depth of you is unknown. You're a mystery
