I wasn’t done with you, 

No, I wasn’t done with you,

I wasn’t done with us,

We had so much more left to do.


We had to live a lifetime together,

We had to go out on dates, 

We had places to explore, 

We had each other to discover, 

We had to sit under the stars and look into each other’s eyes all night.


No, I wasn’t done with you,

We had vacations to take, 

We had memories to make, 

We had to take bachata lessons, 

We had to adopt a dog, 

We had to ditch the plans we made with our friends just to come home to each other. 


No, I wasn’t done with you,

We had to be spontaneous, 

We had to watch every new movie together, 

We had to bake cookies in the middle of the night,

We had to conquer the world together, 

We had to tell the world what we meant to each other.


No, I wasn’t done with you,

We had to pull pranks on each other, 

We had to go on all those late-night drives, 

We had to decorate our house together, 

We had to drive all the way across the city just for a cup of my favorite hot chocolate,

We had to make an album of all the songs we loved to play at our wedding.


No, I wasn’t done with you,

We had so much more to talk, 

We had so much more to grow, 

We had so much more to learn from each other, 

We had so much more to understand about each other, 

We had so much more to love, 


No, I wasn’t done with you,

I wasn’t done with you yet, 

I didn’t know I was ever supposed to be done with you,

But maybe you were done with me a little too soon.

What makes a woman unlovable?

A t some point, every single man that I have been with has told me that I am unlovable and that I cannot last with anyone. Not for long, at least. There was this one guy back in the day; who told me I was so complicated that I should come with an instruction manual.  Well, noted. I kept it simple. Put everything on the table. What I was bringing and what I expected in lieu. But, that scared most of them away, and the ones who lasted called me names.  Nearly 28 years of existence, and I couldn't decode my way around a man. How does a woman who knows what she's worth, who knows how she should be treated, who's aware of what she brings and what she should take away from the table, unlovable?  I worked hard for this. To be this woman who knows her worth. I thought this was what people loved me for, and believe me, the list is endless. Everyone loves a woman who's confident, self-aware and speaks for herself unless you are romantically involved with her. Every quality that ...

  I wrote an article more than 2 years ago describing the feelings you go through at the beginning of new love. The tingly feeling, the curiosity, the butterflies, the element of surprise, the rush, all of it! Well, that did not take a long time to go down the drain.   I have talked enough about what I went through after that. What I never felt like pondering upon is how long it will take me to get all the possible toxicity out of my system.  I thought the efforts I was putting in on myself were more than enough. I was super kind to myself. I gave abundant time to process my thoughts. I ensured to not jump to anything too quickly. I worked on my baggage before I even considered starting anything new.  And I supposed I was doing okay. I was looking forward to starting a new phase in my life. I won't say I was trying, but I wouldn't mind if the opportunity presented itself.  The opportunity did present itself, and I couldn't be happier that it did. What follo...

Life, Choices and The Opportunity Cost

  I am a planner. I love planning, but, unfortunately, planning doesn't usually love me back. From the earliest of days, I have had this compulsive need to plan the hell out of my life. Planning is my comfort zone. My biggest pet peeve is not knowing what next. Naturally, I hate bizarre concepts like surprises; they are a series of misarranged and chaotic events. Neither do I understand, nor do I appreciate the thrill of uncertainty.  But being a planner, I understand the importance of making choices. I understand that life is choices. At every step of the way, you're presented with at least one. You can be as cautious as possible, as mindful as you want and as aware as you think, but no level of planning, no length of pros and cons list can ensure that the choice you are making is the right one.  I studied this concept called "Opportunity Cost" in school. By the book definition, it goes - "the loss of other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Ever...
