Does God exist? Do I care?

Stressed. I was so incredibly stressed being God’s child. Can you imagine being traumatized by something that seemed to govern every aspect of your life? Religion stresses me out. When I was young, I felt the need to micro-analyze all of my actions to conclude whether or not they violated God’s law; there were alwaysContinue reading “Does God exist? Do I care?”

This Kid I Know: Mallika

My very first friend at the school I now attend is, was, and forever will be a short, adorable little Indian girl named Mallika. The first time we met, I mispronounced her name; that will remain a stain on my conscience until the end of time.

A rant about self-confidence

I love people who are unapologetically themselves; it is so intoxicating to find someone who loves themselves the way they are. Just don’t be pompous, and don’t impose your confidence on others. Don’t abuse self-confidence. I love confident people, but with certain limitations. People like this are hard to come by, especially in this society.Continue reading “A rant about self-confidence”
