A Secret Unshared

-

A boy with a heart full of quiet light,
He keeps it hidden, out of sight.
For his best friend, with laughter and grace,
Whose smile could brighten the darkest space.

They share their secrets, day by day,
But there's something more he can’t yet say.
His heart beats faster when she's near,
A love so deep, yet filled with fear.

He watches her, a silent plea,
To know if she could ever see
The way his world turns for her smile,
How he'd walk with her that extra mile.

But he’s afraid to speak the truth,
To risk their bond, their timeless youth.
So he holds his feelings close, unseen,
A secret love, a silent dream.

In every laugh, in every glance,
He wonders if she'd give him a chance.
But for now, he’ll keep it in his chest,
The love for his best friend, unexpressed.

The Silence That Healed Me

-
There comes a point in life when the noise becomes too loud, not the noise of the world, but the noise inside your own heart. That’s where he found himself lost, broken, and tired of giving his all to people who only took, never gave. He loved deeply. Maybe too deeply. He believed in people, trusted easily, and stood by them even when they didn’t deserve it. He thought love was about staying, about fixing. But what happens when staying only breaks you further? He began to realize that the people he loved the most were also the ones who took him for granted. They saw his silence as weakness, his kindness as an obligation. He waited for them to understand, but understanding never came. So, with a heavy heart, he walked away. It wasn’t easy. Walking away from the people you once considered your whole world it felt like tearing out pieces of himself. But somewhere in that pain, something beautiful started to grow in silence. And in that silence, peace. For the first time, he stopped explai...

Healing Through Strangers and Small Moments

-
 There was once a boy who experienced a deep breakdown, not from love, but from a friendship he once thought would last forever. That trust, once strong, shattered into pieces, leaving him lost and devastated. He didn’t know how to face the world or the emotions boiling inside him. So, he made a choice to leave, to travel alone, hoping that a change of place might help quiet the noise in his heart. As he sat quietly on a train, battling his thoughts, his eyes fell upon two friends sitting nearby. They were sleeping peacefully, leaning on each other without a worry, completely trusting. That simple scene hit him hard. It reminded him of everything he had lost. But strangely, it also reminded him of something he didn’t realise trust is still out there, alive in people, even if not in the ones we expect. When he reached the new place, the unfamiliar roads and unknown faces made him feel tense. But life, as always, surprises us when we least expect it. A stranger stepped forward to...

A Dream of Freedom: A Middle-Class Boy's Journey to Travel Alone

-
Growing up in a middle-class family, I've always known the value of hard work, responsibility, and saving every penny. Life has been a steady cycle of school, chores, and family time, with dreams often tucked away in the corners of my mind. But there’s one dream that has consistently stuck with me — the desire to travel alone. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the idea of exploring new places, meeting people from different walks of life, and experiencing the world beyond the confines of my small town. There’s something so alluring about the thought of packing my bag, stepping onto a train or a plane, and venturing into the unknown, without anyone’s expectations or plans to follow. But being from a middle-class background, the reality of this dream has always felt like a distant fantasy. Travel, especially international travel, is often seen as a luxury — something for the rich or those with endless vacation days. For most of my childhood, vacations were family affairs, wh...
