A Letter To My Dad : Fathers day tribute.

-
Dear papa,

Most kids don't have the best relationship with their fathers, to be honest most of my classmates are scared of their fathers. It's exactly the opposite with you, I can always talk to you about anything, in fact I share everything with my parents. Some may call this not appropriate or weird, but take it from me its the best habit you can have. When I was in 6th grade, I read this book, Danny the champion of the world by Roald Dahl. In the book, Danny says that his father doesn't show much emotion, but all of his emotions are showcased by a sparkle in his eyes, only Danny could see it. That is exactly how I would describe you.

You are very eccentric, I wouldn't find a father like you, even if I searched the whole world. Would it be called "Labeling" if I call you a balanced parent. You are very lazy, but he do a lot of  stuff for us, you spends money on the right things, cooks the best food for us. Most of all, you always want what's best for us. 
Some of my early memories include you coming home early from office, just to play with us. Whenever I felt low, you would take me to city park and take my photo with the huge giraffe on the entrance.
You are not JUST A FATHER, you are my mentor and my friend who has always motivated me and pushed me towards a challenge to tackle it. You have always supported me and helped me solve, what only seemed like a problem.
You are the best dad and I am blessed to have you as my dad.
When I grow up, don't follow me around, leave me alone!

I will always pray for your health, because when you smile, I feel happy and protected.

P.S. Just Kidding


Love
Bunnu

being perceived

-
how much of ourselves do we erase everyday to fit in? how much of our lives do we waste away trying to conform to our own and other people's expectations of ourselves. i couldn't get back to writing here for the longest time because i thought that it's pretty ridiculous that i still want to write.  everyone loves making fun of everything these days and people just stuck in one place especially derive strange pleasure off of downsizing people for trying, or maybe that is just what i pay attention to, because i've also seen so many people being really nice and supportive. but at the end of the day, does it really matter what anyone thinks at all? isn't this my blog? my thoughts and words? what i'm saying is something you've probably heard from a lot of people, but it is really hard to practice all the time. overcoming the aversion of being perceived and then being judged after being perceived is really tough. last year on my flight home, i thought to myself, i...

how do i feel like a kid again

-
it was a beautiful day outside, the kind of day someone writes about, like i am right now. where i live, good weather is cherished because it doesn't come by often. me and my best friend are on a walk. birds are chirping to each other. and to me. the sun is in my face and a soft breeze, in my hair. there are huge willows with delicately falling leaves, messing with the sunlight. the pink cherry blossoms are matching colours with the sky. i can smell the earth. and i am here with one of my favorite people. in all this beauty, i felt a feeling i hadn't felt in a long, long time. my words fail to describe it, but to put it simply, i felt content. like nothing else matters because it is a magical day in nature. i only felt it for a few minutes because i became aware that i was feeling it. and then a question popped into my head: how do i feel like a kid again? childhood is long behind me now, but it still feels close to me. somewhere between then and now i grew up. now i realise, t...

femininity

is femininity a social construct? yes. does it make sort of make sense even though it's a social construct? yes.  femininity is generally a set of attributes that is associated with a woman, it is of course, a cultural norm, but somehow it makes sense. every woman need not display femininity and men can also be open about their femininity. okay, enough justifying the topic of discussion for today. i want to talk about people embracing their feminine sides. as children, we have certain interests that may align with what we consider feminine interests, like putting make up on, painting your nails or even general skincare. instead of considering these attributes as a normal part of one's personality, we considered them a form of femininty or weakness.  i don't think it was me who considered it a form of weakness, it was the general perception of the crowd i was around. femininity is generally associated with fragility. women (and men) feel the need to conform to these norms of...
