As Helen Fisher, leading expert on the biology of love and attraction, once said: "Love is enough, is deeply embedded in the brain. Our challenge is to understand each other". I found myself intrigued on a Wednesday evening with the thought of how do we choose who we love? The thought of why him? why her? What ticks on our brain that makes us take this acertative decision? We are often thought that 'LOVE is a battlefield' or 'you can't choose who you love', when it is a matter of a mutual understanding. It is not about how much we have in common, but more of how much time we are willing t ..read more

As time passes by, just when I thought we had left it all behind. You stormed back into my life, as if time never passed by. A year and a half later, here we are again. Rendezvous of memories, memories left behind. Just when I had the chance to tell you, now you know how much I felt for you. I loved you and I could see the same within you. Two broken hearts, we found comfort in each other’s arms. We may not have taken the right path, but for all I know, you and I where something left behind. Like chasing turning tables, in search of a silver lining, unexpectedly we cross each other’s path ..read more

Dedicated to all the young girls, who feel pressured by the rules and expectations of society; to make it through in the world we live in. I would like to NOT apologize: For being in my 20s and enjoy every bittersweet moment in my life, where I have learned to let go and enjoy being no one, but myself. For learning from every mistake and outgrow to become a better person. I will not apologize for not living by the standards of society and NOT care about what you or others think about myself.  I will live for my life and no one else's. I will not apologize for standing up for my rights ..read more

An Italian term entitled for 'let's cross over' taking a step forward, leaving the past behind. As cliche as it may sound, I believe there are certain people in life that come across your path for a reason. I like to call them 'passengers' those whom I've had the opportunity to come across; who have taught me to enjoy 'la dolce far niente' the sweetness of doing nothing, but to listen to the sweet melody of life. I believe in the bittersweet taste of happiness as collective fragments of 'memorable moments in time' all that together making a whole on itself. Those fragments in time, th ..read more

When every lyric of every song speaks about you, when every step I take reminds me of you, in the end all I know: is I am bruised but not broken, cause I am no longer part of you.  Thank you for showing me how much you cared, for demonstrating how vain and selfish you where. I hope you find a happier satisfied loneliness, cause non of this was worth in despair. When you painted the world with pink and rainbows and I beloved every word you said; you brought me back to reality. Thank you I'm no longer naive and a believer of contempt happiness. When I love you was just a word you said ..read more

After multiple cocktails, coffee breaks and conversations with friends about dating on the digital era of today; I have come to the conclusion, that not only are spoiled by choice, but also we have become so picky and selfish, to want not only one but the whole buffet on our silver plater.  I once was told 'I believe in love, loyalty and engagement...but I don't believe in labels' and I have never been more puzzled by such a statement. In a screwed up generation where we no longer have the basics of dating, due to swiping left or right; both men and women have become terrified of compro ..read more

Reminiscing life in the midst of my recently turned 26 years: I gracefully look back to all the memories and blessings that have taken part on this journey; all the loved ones who have been present very step of the way. I can't be more grateful for every memory made, for every lesson learned and every fail that picked me up and made me wiser and my skin thicker. For every time I got lost in the moment with no regrets; for every tear I cried and every shoulder I embraced; for every step of the way that no matter the outcome each and every one of you was present till this day. For being weird ..read more

Like Marilyn Monroe once said 'women who seek to be equal with men, lack ambition'. Living on the 21st century in a modern world or equality, opportunity and even higher success for women compared to men, we still face the so called 'Gender Inequality'. From cultures around the world to 1 or 2 generations behind, we still look at women as inferior to men; and when I am referring to this is not only career wise, also intellectual and even sexuality. In a country like the UAE, where dating is as frequent as your morning cup of tea, I have seen and experience myself, going on a date is as easy a ..read more

In the words of James Brown: "This is a man's world, but it would be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl" After long conversations over coffee, wine and cocktails I can't help but wonder why do we seem to be and feel so lost in a world where we coexist but collide at the same time? Both men and woman are as puzzle and as lost about what we want out of relationships. So I bring to the table the question: If in the 21st century, this may be considered a man's world why can't men wear the dresses when woman can wear the pants? Like it or not, it will never be of who over takes and has th ..read more

They say never kiss and tell. I say put it on paper! Therefore I write as I recall.  As someone wise once said, age is no garantee of maturity, and as so many assume and so little do they know, 'those who reach a state of self-fufillment are those who live a rejoice in change'.  In a world of endless possibilities never had I thought I would become one who would dare to date men up to 10 years older. An unexpected experience once knocked at my door and that like many others has self-taught me to embrace who I am; without pretending to be or become someone 'socially accep ..read more
