What Are You?

“What are you?” “I thought you were a white girl.” “Do you even celebrate Christmas?” “Paki isn’t even offensive, it doesn’t mean anything.” “What’s that growing under your neck?” I was never comfortable with my name. In college, I decided I wanted everyone to refer to me as “Kayla” and since then, I am […]

A Challenge To You | Blogtober Day 16

This is the end. At day 16, I unfortunately have to end my Blogtober journey. It’s been super fun, engaging and I’m so glad I’ve discovered some amazing new bloggers.

Hello, I Struggle Sometimes | Blogtober Day 11

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day. I found it really ironic, because these last couple days I’ve been in a really bad place.
