The Soundtrack of My Solitude

Some People Had People. I Had Music and Movies. The Soundtrack of My Solitude There is someone who often asks me, "Mitzy, how are you doing?" And many times, I do not respond. Not because I am being rude, but simply because I do not know what to say. If there is one thing I love about this blog, it is that this is my safe space, a place where I can pour my heart out without fear of judgment. I am different, a soul of many layers. I see everything, I understand everything, and

The Soundtrack of My Solitude

How many times do we sit at a restaurant and we don't say a good day, good morning, or start a conversation because we are too busy just living in other people's moment, while scrolling on social media?

Today is Mother's day and this year I decided to change my thoughts and many things about me that I have been working on for a few years now. I would like to share my perspective on this change with you all.

Quietness

When I walk into my home, it has always amazed me how my mind is disciplined to be quiet. Then I breathe, and I start being thankful for everything, when I mean everything - that means even for the messes that there could be lying around. That's when I give my eyes the time to blink and observe what many times in the midst of silence and quietness can be captured.
