I’m on my third day in training to become a virtual assistant. In my part of the world, working remotely is still in its infancy. It’s relatively new to the point that even our IRS guys don’t know exactly how to tax people like me properly. I was approached by…

In a few days, it would have been 3 months since I took the plunge. With barely enough savings, bills to pay, and the endless anxiety of being jobless, I swore to take working from home seriously. I have sent hundreds of resumes and endured several interviews, now it’s just…

A week from now, I will have left my very safe and very boring job as an assistant manager in an insurance brokerage firm (can’t get any boring than that) and my first day as a freelancer. People close to me have asked if I was crazy and/or stupid so…

Finally after almost a year I finally had the guts to delete almost 3 years worth of photos on Facebook. I was adamant before as I was still holding on to that tiny piece of my old life. It was bittersweet. I was trying not to look into those old…

You said you needed me. I heard you. I dropped everything just like that just to see that twinkle in your eye. I said you are my everything. I said I’d do anything for our love. That maybe it was all we would have ever needed. You said your Mom…

I didn’t know being in a relationship was such hard work. All this time I have always thought that giving way to your significant other was the way things go and never vice versa. I didn’t know that speaking up was a right and not a privilege. I didn’t know that sleeping angry was a big NO-NO. I certainly didn’t know that those 3 magic words could sound so innocent but toxic at the same time. Do I know better now? Not really. But I now know that love is patient and kind. And it always hopes. Yes, just like that passage.

That moment when you’re bothered with that snide remark during dinner with your wife; a white lie you gave just to pass off that friend’s lunch invitation or the fact that you haven’t kept in touch with Mom or Dad all this time, we are all guilty of it. I’m…

As I stare at my screen, cursor waiting for my next move I try not to think of the wild world waiting for me out there while I labor in this drudgery that I have come accustomed with. Tasks left unfinished and deadlines looming, I suddenly don’t care anymore. I…

This is my last night living alone in an apartment. She’ll be coming back from her trip tomorrow and I won’t be sleeping cold and alone on my bed. This has been the longest week so far. I had literally counted hours till she came back. Yes, I was generally fine for most of those days and I came to realize that hey, living alone ain’t so bad. An opportunity to go live abroad is at its infancy and I have my fingers crossed that this will come into fruition eventually. And that might be my longest week without her for the record.
