"If I can barely decide on whether or not I like this pigment or dish, or even social events then how am I supposed to ever know how to live my life?"
Dear No One – Being Myself
Dear No One: I do(n’t) believe in Destiny
Dear No One, I don’t believe in fate, nor do I have a tendency to believe in destiny. I never have, and I probably never will. I’m a materialistic person, I need concrete, preferably physical evidence that something is going to turn out the way I wanted, expected, planned it to. And that’s no jab... Continue Reading →
Dear No One: Life is short
Dear No One, If you’re anything like me, the phrase “Life is short” freaks you out. The idea that life is finite, that there’s a limit to all I can do and achieve in my life, causes me more worry than I’d like to admit. It makes me doubt my plans (or just as well,... Continue Reading →
Dear No One
Dear No One, It has been almost four years since I first wrote to you. I was too shy to add in a photo of my face and the font the editors had chosen for the layout made my name barely legible. I liked the anonymity of it all. It was easier to pour my... Continue Reading →
Dear No One: You Messed Up?
Dear No One, So, you messed up? You either said too much, or too little. You made a mistake and hurt someone, or a lot of people, in the process. Maybe you tried to do the right thing, but ended up doing the complete opposite . Sometimes, saying you’re sorry won’t make things right, so... Continue Reading →
Dear No One: So what?
Dear No One, Lately, when I talk to fellow students, I always hear the same story over and over again: ‘It was like time has been taken from me,’ ‘I have never been more unproductive in my life,’ ‘Nothing has gone according to plan, not even remotely.’ Mind you, all of these students’s feelings and...

Dear No One
Dear No One, How are you? How has it been? Last I wrote to you, it was summer and I could only guess what being a student of International Studies would be like. Now, it’s a few months later and I have left my first IS semester behind. It’s been an experience, to say the... Continue Reading →
Dear No One
Dear No One, How have you been? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Around this time of year, I’d usually be writing a letter to my younger self to reflect on my actions and achievements. However, as the past few months have provided me with more than enough time for introspection,... Continue Reading →
Dear No One; I’m not beautiful
Dear No One, It’s 4am on a Saturday in March, and after a week with my school abroad and a trip that took over six hours longer than anticipated, I step off the bus. I know that I have purple bags under my eyes, that my hair is a mess and that the hoodie I’m... Continue Reading →
Dear No One: Tell me more, Tell me more
Dear No One, Let’s set the stage. You’re at a birthday party of an old friend from high school. Well, friend? Perhaps acquaintance is a better word. Your actual friend was invited to this reunion party and dragged you along with them. As you try to avoid people you weren’t planning on seeing ever again,... Continue Reading →
