TURNING UP THE VOLUME!

Growing up, I had been an extremely soft speaker. I remember teachers and elders would scrunch their eyebrows and lean their ears towards me whenever I had squeaked out an inaudible of mumble of answer. That doesn't happen to me anymore. Instead, I have to attempt to lower down my voice when I am talking to them. “What I hate about Christy the most?” One of my friends repeated the question in a The Answer Is Simple tone. “That's easy! It's the fact that I can barely hear anything she ever says.” Based on true experience. Through years of being told that I have a quiet voice, the statement did not offend me a single bit. It was a part of me that I accepted, though it annoyed some others. I embraced my gentle vocal anatomy, and I was even proud enough to say that it contributed to my innocently dumb and ignorant, Snow White-esque nature at that time. And then, college came along, rolling in endless assignments, group-works and presentations. It was not a problem for

MY ‘PHILOPHOBIA’ - PART 1

Falling in love is such a common dream, isn't it? Of course, I was no exception. I dreamt of a person sweeping my feet off the ground, sending me the wonderful electric jolts and making all my unrealistic expectations in life come true, taking my hazardous city life away to a beautiful, serene small town and we live happily ever after.

I have always loved reading fictional stories, and enjoy creating and developing characters (or, as fanfiction content creators call it ‘OC’s), visualising the lowest possibilities and making up the plot of my future plans.

YOU ARE WELL MET, SWEET HUMAN!

(I am not good with Old English.) Hi... Hello- heyy, oh that’s it, who am I trying impress? I am awful with greetings and introductions - something I am able to judge myself from years of ‘public speaking’, assignment presentations and giving polite acknowledgements to elders. Yes, note the quotation mark on ‘public speaking’, and hopefully, one day I can have the balls- I meant, the right frame of mind to explain the floaty symbols I direct whenever I speak of that phrase. An introduction to my new blog… Right, which brain cell of mine was responsible for coming out with this idea? My head is full of knots and tangles, forcing a smooth eloquent paragraph to spill out of my brain-hole. It’s not going on as well as I had idealized, if you haven’t noticed. This leads me to wonder if anyone will ever want to follow and read the articles of assorted rambles posted by this jug of repulsion-and-brainfart cocktail on her blog. If you’re still reading this, I can bow down and salute
