In life, we have come across times where everything falls into the palms of our hands but we have also come across times where we are given ultimatums. The most common one among women in the UAE is marriage or a career? I say this because this is the most commonly asked question amongst families […]
We’ve all come across terms like “anxiety” or “depression” in the span of our lives. We have even grown accustomed to using them in as common terms to describe our feelings. I often hear friends say “I’m depressed” when they are feeling down, or “I’m having a panic attack” a day before exams, and all […]
We’ve all known what it feels like to be stuck at a crossroad, not knowing which path leads to salvation. With every decision we make in life, we are handed a gifted box filled with either consequences or blessings. Sometimes we can weigh it out and assume what our box has in store for us, […]
