  Dear beloved me, it's been long and you may feel that I have neglected you and I won't lie, it has been long since I put you first. I am sorry for hurting you while I tried to love others. I have been so afraid of losing everyone I have ever loved that now, I am on the verge of losing you. In fact, I think, I may have lost you. Sometimes, I feel like I am a stranger in this body, like my soul has become so drained by being someone that I am not.   I never wanted to fall in love, they always say the right things and then leave. But that's not what people who love you do; they don't lead you and then leave when your heart is filled with emptiness and you are stranded in your thoughts.  Dear me, I know I haven't healed, I have just tried to stop thinking about it. Its heartbreaking how you make room for others in your heart only to realize that you don't even cross their mind, let alone being in their heart. Sometimes I know you think that you are hard to love, t

                           With a budding romance and a heavy academic schedule, I had no time for illnesses-especially not one which dragged me till the hospital bed. However, my life changed with illness. I can't do things like others. I was lost and I didn't know what I felt. A great fire burned within me but no one stopped to warm themselves at it. The passers-by only saw a wisp of smoke. At first, only my family and my close friends were told about the diagnosis because I didn't want to be the Sick Girl. Since then, I have become more open about sharing my story because it may end up educating people about a disease they didn't know know about or maybe unknowingly going through. It may encourage someone to speak about their own struggles and help in finding joy and beauty in places that others see pain and sufferings. Moreover, school should be a second home for the students but in my case while my friends were learning so many things, I was lying on the hospital b

This is my little brother, Tshering Thaye Kelden studying in fifth grade. He is really interested in singing so he usually spends his free time learning new songs especially the rap songs and singing it.

  The life of a Girl: A life full of melancholy and doubt She lives in a judgmental world, Where she is judged everyday over everything, And a society filled with fears. Behind that big smile of hers, Is a girl that cries She's one of a kind, And stars guide her way.  She's a girl And she can't wear the dress she wants, She can't live her life the way she wants, She can't even show out her pains and sorrows. All she has to do is hide her entire story with those heavy makeups. And still wear the smile. People expect her to understand the world, But who would even care for her? Stuffed animals are the perfect shoulders to cry on. When a thing is done, Advice comes too late. And she only looks forward. Then she wonders how her life will be in the end.  To know her is to understand her. And to understand her is to love her.
