Fear of not being good enough: the inner life of a (recovering) perfectionist
Hi! My name is Sid and I’m a perfectionist. There. I said it. I’m really trying hard not to be a perfectionist.

Tunes for Tuesday – June 25, 2013
Hi everyone, Welcome to today’s Tunes for Tuesday. My friend Rose (@GraceDefined) introduced me to this video awhile ago and let’s just stay that it is one of those videos that stay stuck in your head for a very long time.

Secede in te ipsum
I once had a blog that I titled “Secede in te ipsum”. I was reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and it was talking about the need to retreat within ourselves so that we can know ourselves. For me, since social media plays such a big part of my life, sometimes I have to pull back Continue reading

Reflections on Good Friday
A lot of the times, I really do feel that everything in Christianity is just so incredibly messed up in comparison to how the world normally works. Normally, people want to live. And yet, Jesus says that if we truly want to live, we have to die first. A lot of us would avoid pain Continue reading
