Twinsoul

-

For a long time, I thought the way I think and feel about things existed only inside of me. I’ve always had deep conversations with myself  about life, people, emotions, the world, and the meaning behind things most people overlook. And I think a part of me always wanted to find at least one person I could speak to with that same level of honesty, depth, and understanding.

Then I met him on 25 October 2017.
What felt different was not just the connection itself, but the feeling of being mentally and emotionally understood without constantly needing to explain myself. Some people enter your life and only hear your words. Others somehow hear the meaning underneath them too.

I found myself able to speak freely, naturally, and deeply in a way that felt familiar instead of forced. The conversations did not feel surface-level or performative. They felt like meeting someone whose mind somehow moved alongside mine.

I think that’s why some connections feel rare. Not because they are perfect, but because they create a sense of recognition like finding someone who understands parts of you that usually stay internal and unspoken.
Maybe that is what a twin soul really is. Not someone identical to you, but someone who meets you in a place most people never reach.

There is something deeply comforting about being understood naturally instead of constantly having to explain yourself. Around him, I never felt like I had to shrink my thoughts, soften my intensity, or pretend to be less aware than I am. The connection felt less like performance and more like presence.

I think that’s what makes certain connections unforgettable. Not just love, attraction, or chemistry, but the feeling that someone truly sees you beyond the version of yourself that the rest of the world interacts with. The mind behind the words. The emotions behind the silence. The person beneath the surface.

And maybe that’s why I call him my twin soul. Because some people enter your life and feel temporary, while others feel strangely familiar  like they were always meant to find you at some point in your story.

Still I Speak

I am well aware that there is no real “benefit” for a woman to be as opinionated as I am. In many spaces, being outspoken is not rewarded  it is questioned, softened, or made uncomfortable for others. There is a certain expectation that women should be agreeable, careful with their words, and easy to digest. Anything beyond that is often seen as too much. But I don’t think I speak the way I do for approval or advantage. It feels more like something I can’t fully switch off an instinct to notice things, to question them, and to say them out loud when they don’t sit right with me. Even when silence would be easier, more accepted, or more convenient. Maybe that’s what makes it feel like "doing it purely for the love of the game" Not because it is always comfortable, and not because it always benefits me, but because there is something honest about refusing to shrink my thoughts just to make them easier for others to receive.

The World Today: Quiet Reflections

 The world today rarely feels quiet. Even when nothing is happening, there is always something to see, read, or respond to. It feels like silence has been replaced with constant input. I’ve noticed how quickly I reach for distraction without even thinking. A pause used to be normal. Now it feels like something to fill. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to too much noise. There was a time when reaching someone required effort. Now people are always reachable, always available, always online. It changes how we relate to each other. I sometimes wonder if being constantly accessible has made connection feel lighter, but also less intentional. It feels different now. Nothing seems to take time anymore. Replies are expected immediately. Progress is expected quickly. Even patience feels outdated in certain spaces. I find myself rushing thoughts before they are fully formed. And I wonder if we are living faster, or just thinking less slowly. Everyone has a version of themselves that exists onlin...

Tiny Human, Big Chaos

Before becoming a mother, I thought parenting was mostly about giving love, buying cute clothes, and teaching life lessons. I did not realise it also involved negotiating with a toddler about why we cannot eat snacks for breakfast, hearing “mom” every six seconds, and somehow becoming responsible for another person’s survival while running on very little rest. Motherhood is strange because one minute you feel like the most loving, patient person alive, and the next minute you are emotionally overwhelmed because someone cried after asking for the exact thing they just received. Toddlers truly humble you. You can spend twenty minutes making food only for them to reject it dramatically and ask for something they rejected yesterday. And somehow, despite being exhausted, mothers still continue functioning. We remember appointments, carry snacks, solve problems, clean things that become dirty again immediately, and mentally track a thousand invisible responsibilities every single day. It’s h...
