When Love Speaks Beyond Words #FictionMonday

August 12, 2024

I don’t believe in the power of the evil eye. The logical part of my brain refuses to accept that someone else’s malice can influence our lives.

Have you suffered from losing your identity bit by bit? Did you look back to find yourself as a different person? I have! These days, for the most part, I am ‘Aryan’s Mom’ – Aryan is Kanna’s official name. I introduce myself to other parents as ‘Aryan’s Mom’ and they know me not by name … More Who are you?
