Intro to "A Collection of the Best Writes!"

 Hello Butterflies, I'm Back.🦋

 To all my readers who’ve been waiting patiently, I missed you; To the ones who are new—welcome to the beginning of becoming.

It’s time to dust off the ink, reopen the pages, and breathe life back into the blog that started it all…

✨ A COLLECTION OF THE BEST WRITES ✨
Yes, it’s officially BACK — and better than ever!


Every Sunday, I’ll be sharing my most cherished essays, reflections, and thought pieces that come straight from the heart and soul — starting this week with the gentle glow of "To Be a Firefly." It's not just a return; it's a revival of everything that made this space real, raw, and deeply human.

This collection is where vulnerability meets expression — where you’ll find stories that challenge, comfort, and maybe even change something inside you.

But here’s the twist this time:
I want you to be a part of this.

💬 Got a topic that’s been on your mind?
💭 A question you wish someone explored in words?
📩 An emotion you want to see turned into prose?

Drop your essay ideas or themes in the comments below, and I might just take it up in the upcoming Sundays. Let’s co-create something meaningful — together.

With words & wonder,

Prologue  — The Stop Before the Story To start with, I wish the firefly's glow that touched your heart last Sunday never dims — not in your days, not in your dreams. I hope, more than anything, that you're trying to be  the  firefly in your world. Even if your wings feel tired sometimes. This week, I’m not giving you a lesson or a listicle. I’m offering you a piece of my still-beating heart. A narrative. A theory. A truth I stumbled upon not in a lecture or a journal — but in the in-between of a very ordinary day. It was May 5. My official summer holidays were yet to begin, but the universe had other plans. Indo-Pak tensions had flared. Schools shut. Classes moved online. After my classes for the day was over, found myself holding my mom’s phone, just… scrolling. One short. Just one short. That’s all it took. An interview. A director. A question —  "What does 'Ataraxia' mean?" He didn’t know. She explained. And in those few seconds, something inside me stirr...
