Ever notice how the fear of failure gets louder the closer you get to something you really want?

That moment when you almost take the step… and then your mind floods with “what ifs.” What if you’re not ready? What if you mess up? What if it doesn’t work?

In our latest blog post, we explore why success isn’t about being fearless — it’s about wanting your dreams more than your comfort. It’s a gentle but honest look at courage, self-doubt, and the quiet decisions that shape your path forward.

If you’ve been holding yourself back lately, this reflection might be exactly what you need right now.

Some losses don’t get smaller.
We just learn how to carry them.

Ocean Vuong’s Time Is a Mother sits in that quiet space where grief lingers, memories resurface, and life keeps moving anyway. It’s raw, tender, and unexpectedly human in the way it captures what it means to live after someone is gone.

In our latest review, we explore why this collection feels less like something you read… and more like something you sit beside.

If you’ve ever tried to keep going while holding onto someone in memory, this one might stay with you 🤍

A tiny creature is spared out of pity… and before

A tiny creature is spared out of pity… and before long, a king is trembling and a princess is promised.

No spells. No grand battles. Just fear, silence, and a decision that grows far bigger than anyone expects.

This Assamese folk tale creeps up on you — and the ending doesn’t come with comfort.

What if the future tried to warn you… with an apology?

One ordinary day, a letter arrives that says, “I’m sorry for what you’re about to do.”
No explanation. No sender. Just a quiet sentence that makes every choice feel heavier.

This short story explores regret in life, the weight of things left unsaid, and how the smallest moments can shape a future we don’t yet understand. It’s gentle, reflective, and the kind of read that lingers long after the last line.

Tap the link in bio to read the full story and see what the letter really means.

Some seasons of life feel light. Others feel heavy

Some seasons of life feel light. Others feel heavy.
But what if happiness isn’t something we wait for… what if it’s something we carry within us?

This reflection inspired by Horace Friess explores how a shift in mindset can help us see beauty even in difficult phases — and why inner joy can exist even when life isn’t perfect.

If you’ve been moving through a challenging season, this gentle reminder might be exactly what you need right now.

A girl speaks of a city surrounded by walls.
No one keeps their shadow there.
Dreams are read in a silent library.

Years later, a man wakes up inside that very city — and realizes that some worlds don’t let you leave unchanged.

Haruki Murakami’s The City and Its Uncertain Walls drifts between memory, disappearance, and the fragile line between reality and imagination. Our latest review explores this haunting story of love, loss, and parallel worlds.

Step inside the city.

We’re often told we have to choose.
Success or peace.
Ambition or happiness.

But what if that choice isn’t as real as we think?

A quiet wedding in Jaisalmer.
A few honest conversations.
And one question that stays with you long after the last page.

Our latest post reflects on You Can Have It All by Gaur Gopal Das—and gently asks what “having it all” really means in everyday life.

We don’t usually notice when curiosity fades.
We just start calling things boring.

Days blur. Conversations feel flat.
Even things we once loved stop holding our attention.

But what if boredom isn’t about life becoming empty—
and more about us quietly disengaging from it?

A single line by G. K. Chesterton sent us down this thought spiral—about curiosity, attention, and how meaning slips away when we stop really looking. This post doesn’t give answers. It asks a question that lingers long after you scroll past.

If something has felt off lately, this might explain why.

What if the world keeps insisting everything is “for the best” — even when nothing is?

Candide begins like a fast-moving adventure, almost playful in its tone. Wars erupt, cities collapse, lives are ruined, and yet the characters keep smiling, explaining it all away as necessary and good. That’s when Voltaire’s joke starts to sting.

This review of Candide by Voltaire looks at how blind optimism turns cruel, how suffering is rationalized, and why the novel ends not with answers, but with a quiet decision to cultivate one’s own garden.
