Part 2: Orphanage in Milan: My Experience
--- In Italy, there's a legend that when a child loses a tooth, if they put it under their pillow before bed, a mouse (or the tooth fairy, depending on the region) will come during the night, take the tooth, and leave money in exchange. I vividly remember the day I lost my first tooth. The caregiver on duty suggested I place it under my pillow and told me the story of the mouse, also recommending that I write down if I had any special wishes. I felt excited and a bit scared at the idea of a mouse coming at night to take my tooth and leave me money. I wondered: why would it give me money for a tooth? And what did it do with the tooth anyway? I found no answers and decided to ignore those questions. Instead, I wrote a note asking if the mouse could leave me enough money to buy a new toy car at the market. I phrased it as a question: "Could you leave me 1000 lire for a new toy car?", or something like that.

Righteous in a corrupt world
The world is a corrupt place and it's only getting worse to the extent where corruption is steadily becoming the norm. We’ve gotten to the point where we even question what the truth is anymore. The very foundations of what makes us humans are no longer regarded as solid, you’ve got people wondering what a woman is, whether the realities we’ve always known even exist anymore.

The so called problem every teenager faces, “Depression ” and “Anxiety ”.
I had never fully understood the gravity of despair until I experienced it firsthand. It wasn't a sudden onset but rather a creeping sensation that grew over months, like a dark cloud slowly overshadowing the sun. My journey through anxiety and depression was not a solitary one; it was a labyrinth I navigated with the support of others and, most importantly, with a slow but transformative change within myself.

Family unity in shambles
I had hoped that I could get along with my relatives, that we could work together on some amazing projects and build each other up into wealth. I’ve always been in admiration of other tribes who seem to get along with each other quite well and are able to accomplish a lot both collectively and individually. Despite any sort of feelings they might have with each other, they always find a way to pull through because they understand the bigger picture.

The Warm Hug to Myself on My Recent Accomplishment
The Warm Hug to Myself on My Recent Accomplishment Whenever you find yourself talking negatively to yourself or judging or shaming yourself for something you have done wrong maybe today, or in your past, think about saying those harsh words to the younger version of you. How atrocious of you would it be to talk to your inner child like that, of telling the most disdainful of phrases that would never leave your mouth for the people you love? We live in a world where it is normalized to treat yourself with grit and harshness and to be hard on yourself because guess what we live in a hustling world where everybody charges with lightning speed towards their goals and if you render yourself with steadiness and ease, we are losing the damn game of life.

The Enchanted Bloom of Wonders
In a sun-kissed meadow, where wildflowers swayed gently in the breeze, a curious boy named Kava wandered through the grass, his bright green eyes scanning the ground for hidden treasures. His curly brown hair bounced with each step, and the warm sunlight danced across his face, illuminating his infectious smile. Kava loved nothing more than exploring the outdoors, discovering secrets that lay just beyond the edge of everyday sight. As he made his way deeper into the meadow, he stumbled upon a hidden path he had never seen before – a path that seemed to whisper his name.

An open letter to the ones who are scared of how they might be perceived
An open letter to the ones who are scared of how they might be perceived. What if people think I am too weird or ecstatic to be around as a person? What if others think I am too much, too much passion, too many emotions, too strong, too opinionated, and not a cool person to hang out with? I wish I could say that I haven't said that, I am oblivious to feeling insecure, bothered or sabotaging my self-belief from time to time. But truth be told, it is only humane of me to be concerned about how I might be perceived in the minds of others. If you relate to this, I am writing this letter to you, my imperfect fellow being. In the most vulnerable and painstaking way, we all are not immune to the negativity and limiting beliefs of ourselves and others.

The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way.
