Putting My Sixth Sense on Overtime Duty,now onwards...

-

 I share my joys here on Twitter almost every day... so I guess it's only fair to share my worries as well. Today's blog is about a serious issue. A couple of forced interactions recently left me genuinely shocked. It's strange how some people can create a sense of familiarity out of absolutely nothing n then expect you to play along. It reminded me that while most people are decent, a few can make online spaces uncomfortable by assuming a closeness that simply doesn't exist. Looking back, I can almost hear my Mum's warnings playing on repeat in my head. Maybe I was too relaxed, maybe I gave people the benefit of the doubt a little too easily. Either way, from now onwards, my sixth sense is going on overtime duty. Twitter will still be my happy place to laugh, learn, write n breathe free... but I'll be a lot more cautious about who gets access to my space. Some lessons arrive gently, others arrive disguised as notifications.

 Helsinki these days is chilly but soft,the kind of early autumn air dat makes u pull ur jacket tighter n breathe a little slower. Streets r calm...skies a muted grey n d wind has dat crisp edge dat wakes u up widout really shoutin. This weekend,Dad decided to throw a small gathering fr my friends to celebrate…well, me,finishing my Moot Court. Just a little boost,a quiet nudge of pride in d middle of my usual grind.He always finds ways to thread warmth n love into d everyday,small celebrations dat make life feel less like hustle n more like livin.My friends came over. Laughter bounced off d walls, snacks kept disappearing too fast,we shared stories dat hd deaines or seriousness. It hd nothin to do wid everyday worries.Though it was messy.It was real. And yet… somewhere in the middle of all dat,I coudn’t shake d thought of my achievement,d little pat on d back I was craving.I found myself sneaking glances at #Twitter,half-hopin someone wud notice,someone wud say d thing dat wud make...

Introspecting....Or musing!

The pen rests idly between my fingers, its weight both familiar and foreign. The paper before me, expectant and silent, mirrors the restless murmur within my mind. Words hover just beyond reach, like shadows flickering at the edge of candlelight—half-formed, teasing, waiting for me to grant them shape.....do they really need to get born!
