The Temple that Reminded me to Dream Again (No Exaggeration)

Note: This blog post in not entirely finished but I didn't get much time to work on it, but what I can do is give you all the first paragraph I have written which will serve as a preview of this project. I know it's not perfect, but it's all I have for now. I hope you guys are excited to find out which temple I am talking about. Much Love ;) 

Yup, you read that right? This temple literally reminded me to dream again because I have put that on the back burner for so long. Why? To be honest, it's because life happened and I have been experiencing a level of darkness I never knew was possible and I still haven't gotten out of it. One reason is because as much as I love my my parents, I feel they are still in that negative, low-vibe draining conversation. My mom has relapsed into her mental illness and it is often very, very, VERY heartbreaking. I often feel like my soul has been ripped out of my body and shattered. Basically, I often feel dead. Just writing out those words breaks my heart and this has been going on for too long. I do my best to dream but my outside circumstances often turn off whatever little light I have in my heart. It sucks. It really does. I don't know what to do. I don't know how to have an open conversation with my parents. I have a huge fear that they will judge me and not understand, because it's all I see when I share my heart with them about my struggles and fears. I'm often made to feel wrong and stupid by those of  in positions of power. And I hate it. It fucks with my psyche and heart, and I have grown up most of my life feeling like a stupid, incompetent person that can't make her own decisions.

Lack of Telugu Female Representation in Media

NOTE: This blog post is a long one, I know. It's just that I have so much to say on this subject and it's been a low-key hot topic for a number of years and I am trying to make this issue more known, because I do believe this issue is more serious than people realize. I know I don't work in the entertainment industry (especially the Telugu industry) and I am not qualified to give expert answers. I am new to the whole blogging scene and wanted to make this post as in-depth and clear as possible. Please let me know if I'm missing any details or have mistaken anything that I have written.

The Epitomes of Vanity: Intro (Part 1)

Image
NOTE: The Epitomes of Vanity is a 3 part blog series.   This is my attempt of an artistic  and poetic version of something that was a huge part of my life and how it affected my psyche. This blog series is not intended to disrespect anyone. If anybody does feel upset by what I have to say, I apologize. This series may come across as dramatic, but I want to use this platform to express the intensity of how I felt and continue to feel. Hopefully, this series resonates with you. Much love :) I don't know where to begin. What am I talking about? What or who are The Epitomes of Vanity? What is this about? So many questions, so many answers, so many discoveries.....I don't know where to begin.  The Epitomes of Vanity were a huge part of my upbringing, my childhood, better yet.....my adolescence. I often feel they have such a magnetic energy pull that propels one who feels like a pariah to a state of long term confusion, insecurity, and devastation. I feel th
