Am I good enough?

AM I GOOD ENOUGH?

Like am I good enough to be called a friend or am I good enough to be someone's shoulder when they need me?

Am I good enough to be approached in help or am I good enough to be dependable?

Am I good enough to be worthy of someone's time or am I good enough to not waste someone's?

Am I good enough to be offered hugs when others are offered handshakes?

Am I good enough to be told that I'm important?

Am I good enough that someone can feel safe around me or am I good enough to protect someone if something's coming upon them?

Am I good enough to be that person in someone's life who they feel they are blessed to have?

Am I good enough to be called for someone's family dinner or am I good enough to be called someone's family?

Am I good enough that my parents feel proud to have me as their daughter?

Am I good enough to be that respected person in someone's story?

Am I good enough to be loved by someone or am I good enough in reciprocating the love that comes to me?

Am I good enough that my people adds me into their 'good people' list or am I good enough to be even called a 'good person'?

So many questions inside my head and none have an answer. I guess that's self doubt and self doubt never answers. It just keeps on asking.. just keeps on asking you that..

..AM I GOOD ENOUGH?

When attachment hurts

The hardest part of attachment isn’t always losing someone - it’s watching them drift away because of life. Not because they’ve stopped caring, not because they’ve changed as a person, but because circumstances stepped in. Distance, busy days, different paths. Suddenly, the friend who once felt like your everyday comfort now feels like a guest in your life. And it hurts in ways words can’t carry. The calls grow fewer, the replies slower, the laughter shorter. You tell yourself, 'they still care… it’s just life'. But your heart aches anyway, because attachment makes you sensitive. Every small change feels like a loud silence. Yet, even through the ache, you can’t deny how beautiful it is when such friendships first arrive in your life. The ones you never expected - born out of a random moment, a casual conversation, or sheer coincidence - end up carving the deepest spaces in your heart. These friends make the world feel lighter, like you’ve been handed a quiet gift you didn’t ev...

But still..

It is hard, but still… we go on. It is heavy, but still… we carry it. It is uncertain, but still… we hope. It is painful, but still… we love again. Because somehow, deep down, we know - life doesn’t stop for the storms. And maybe that’s what makes it beautiful. It’s not always easy to wake up and try again when everything inside you wants to give up. But you still do - quietly, stubbornly, beautifully. You may not even realize it, but that’s courage. Not the loud, movie kind; the soft, everyday kind that says, "I’ll face today anyway.” It is confusing - when people you cared for drift away, when plans fall apart, when dreams take longer than they should. But still… you find small reasons to smile; a good song, a sunset, a message from someone who remembers. That’s life’s way of saying, “Keep going, you’re not done yet.” It is tiring to be the strong one all the time. To be the listener, the comforter, the one who understands while silently needing to be understood. But still… you ...

The absurdity of suffering

Bad times don't just "feel bad". They feel like suffocation. Like something heavy pressing on your chest that no one else can see. I don't try to make suffering prettier than it is. Pain is real, and when you're in it, advice feels hollow. And yet, something strange happens with time. Some of the deepest insights I've seen in people's lives didn't come wrapped in joy and clarity. They came from heartbreak, from disappointments, from nights that felt endless. There's something absurd about how much we learn from suffering, how pain becomes a kind of teacher no one asked for, but everyone meets eventually. The existential lens does not sugarcoat things. Life has no built-in meaning. We suffer, often without reason, and sometimes we break. But within that absurdity lies freedom; we get to choose how we respond. The suffering may not be meaningful in itself, but what we do with it can be. That's where the human spirit becomes something fierce and b...
