Love Is a Sound

-

Love has a sound. It hums quietly in ordinary moments. In laughter shared across a room. In a voice that checks in, not because it must, but because it wants to. And this month, the so called month of love, I find myself sitting with that sound and appreciating it.

February may wear the crown of Valentine’s Day, but love is not seasonal. Somewhere in the world, every single day, someone is discovering it, living in it, remembering it, or hoping for it. And that, to me, is beautiful.

I’m thinking of the kind of love that happens when the timing is right, the connection is real, and two people choose each other with intention. The love that makes you feel seen, complemented, and quietly accomplished. The kind that doesn’t shrink you, but expands you. And in that expansion, you get to give back, to pour into another person just as deeply.

This kind of love often grows into families. Sometimes with children, sometimes without. Both paths are valid. Both are full. Because what truly defines it is not the outcome, but the peace of being with someone who is accountable to you, and whom you are accountable to in return.

It’s a love that survives hard conversations. That chooses communication over escape. That holds on through tough seasons and comes out softer, wiser, and stronger on the other side. Without it, life could easily become a solo journey of comfort, ambition, and adventure. But this love reminds us that we are human. It humbles us. It teaches kindness, patience, and perspective. It teaches us to pause and ask, “How does this affect the one I love?”

Even for those not currently in it, love still nourishes. It shows up in memories. In hope. In the quiet confidence that something good exists and can exist again. For me, this season brings back memories of early butterflies, gentle check-ins, shared laughter, and the grounding joy of partnership.

Love is messy. Love is wonderful. And even just sitting with it, remembering it, celebrating it, feels like a gift.

This month, I choose to honor that sound.

Boundaries

  We all have that person the one who’s full of big ideas, infectious energy, and good intentions yet leaves you guarding your peace. For me, it’s a really well-meaning relative. H e dreams boldly, jumps from venture to venture, and genuinely wants me to thrive. But over time, I’ve noticed the cracks: the half-truths, the blurred lines, the quiet tension when I don’t protect what’s mine. He isn’t malicious. But trust isn’t just about intent it’s about consistency. And when small lies slip in or boundaries flex too far, self-preservation kicks in. I’ve learned: first of all g ood people can still drain you , Love them, but don’t loan them your peace. Secondly, n o is a complete sentence , Boundaries aren’t cruel they’re survival , finally I w atch feet, not lips i f actions don’t match words, I believe the actions. I still value him. But I no longer confuse loyalty with unlimited access. Some dances require space and that’s okay.

Courage to Invest in myself

-
  For a while now, owning my home has been a cornerstone of my financial independence goals a tangible milestone on my path to freedom. And now, here I am, on the verge of turning that dream into reality. Yet, despite all the planning and saving, I’ll admit: Taking the leap feels scary. But you know what? I’m choosing to celebrate that fear because it means I care deeply about my future. Money isn’t just numbers to me; it represents security, hard work, and the power of choice. So, of course, spending a significant amount (even for something as meaningful as a home) can feel like stepping off a ledge. That resistance? It’s not weakness it’s proof that I’m thoughtful, intentional, and respect the value of what I’ve built. Instead of letting hesitation hold me back, I’m re framing this project as the ultimate act of self-trust. This isn’t just spending it’s investing. Unlike fleeting purchases, a home grows in value over time, both financially and emotionally. Whenever...

Evolution

  So last week was quite interesting, impromptu meetings, busy work schedules and a lot and i mean alot of flexibility. Between being given an assignment, being told the assignment was changed last minute, preparing to appraise the meeting on the same updates only for the role to be taken away on the final second. I watched a room full of executives call an intern to switch on a smart TV and i realized we really need to get updated on new technology but whose responsibility is it , the IT department or the beneficiaries. This was hurting to watch. The poor gentleman had to sit through the meeting just waiting to increase the resolution on the screen and hide excel columns and the executives were on a busy schedule but had to wait and postpone other duties to wait for this help. I had a great time going for my work out sessions. I am glad the rainy season is here. The air seems more fresh , the grass is greener and the flowers at a point just seem to be showing off how...
