HOW IT GOT STARTED

Hi!

We are two twenty years old, best friends who love to write. As we navigate life we have realized that the world can be a scary place. We feel too much and share too little so this blog is our creative outlet. It is our attempt at making a difference and talking about the fundamental things that according to us if changed will make the world so much better. As I always say, there is enough hate in this world, lets try to add some love to the mix for a change.

 Sometimes life feels like a dream. Other times it can be better described as a nightmare. It's true-  I have questioned my ‘purpose on earth’ way more times than I would care to admit. It isn’t easy being a teenager in the 21st century. No matter what you do, you feel like someone else has done it first or done it better. It is a race that you cannot win because every time you feel like you are at the finish line, a mile gets added to it. 

And then there are the bigger issues- poverty, famine, crime, injustice, global warming, prejudice, intolerance, ignorance… this list could go on for a while. Yup, it's depressing, but stay with me, I have a point to make.

So yes this is the reality of the world and yes, it is depressing. This may be how it is, but it doesn’t have to remain this way. Despite it all, we need to find a will to fight, mostly because we don’t have an option. We need to find the strength within ourselves to peel this layer off and look beyond it.

Trust me, it isn’t all bad. Hidden behind these horrifying layers are the real gems of humanity- people standing up for strangers, neighbours protecting each other, kindness, compassion, generosity, love, humility, selflessness, bravery and beauty, and oh so much beauty.

So let us not linger on the negatives. Let’s stand up against it. But let us also acknowledge and appreciate the good. Let us practice what we preach. Let us act out of the goodness of our hearts, smile at others, be considerate, be kind, be patient. You never know what a simple act of kindness might mean to someone else.

This is what we want to achieve on this page. We understand that making a difference isn’t easy. Especially when it feels like we ourselves aren’t good enough. But that isn’t true. You are enough and there is goodness in you. We want to help make this world a better place, by helping you become the best version of yourself. We want to unlearn the toxic mannerisms ingrained in us and become better versions of ourselves. We want to tell you what we wish someone had told us. 

So we are going to use this platform to talk about resources available to make your life easier or things that we have learnt along the way. Sometimes we will talk about the messes we find in ourselves in and even the thoughts we can’t escape. Because life isn’t about always being happy and chirpy. And sometimes simply knowing that you aren’t alone is enough. So hop on to get advice on topics ranging from identifying toxicity to how to study better. We have got your back.

We want to make this world a better place, one smile at a time. 

So please don’t give up on humanity yet, instead help us restore it, piece by piece.
