Adult friendships end quietly.
But the grief is loud.
This carousel is for that space in between and we’d love to hear how you’ve moved through it too.

The world says “do more, be more, want more.”
But can we just pause and appreciate the basics we fought so hard for?Your “normal” today was once a dream.
Treat it like one.

If you’re constantly scanning texts, tones, pauses, vibesyou’re not “too sensitive.”You were trained to notice everything.
Adulthood is just learning that most thingsare not actually about you.

You ever notice how everyone around us is just… tired? Not sleepy-tired, but mentally, emotionally, “I can’t keep up anymore” tired.

We’re living in a time where everything’s instant food, messages, opinions, validation except peace. We wake up to chaos, work through stress, scroll through more chaos, and then wonder why our brain feels like a traffic jam at 6 PM. And somewhere between “I’m fine” and “I’ll deal with it later,” we forgot that being functional doesn’t mean being okay.

Therapy, for a lot of us, has become that one space where you can actually slow down. No filters. No need to sound smart. No pretending that you’re handling everything. Just honesty the kind you rarely have time for anymore.

Because honestly, most of us were never taught how to feel. We learned how to perform emotions crack a joke when it hurts, distract ourselves when it’s heavy, vent when it’s unbearable. But therapy isn’t about venting. It’s about understanding. Why you keep choosing the same kind of people. Why work stress feels personal. Why rest feels like guilt. Why love feels like a test.

It’s not easy sitting with your own mind rarely is. But in a world that rewards pretending, therapy is one of the few places left where you can just be real.

So no, it’s not about being “broken” or “too emotional.” It’s about giving yourself permission to be human in a world that keeps asking you to be faster, tougher, quieter.

The internet has a way of saying things like they’re universal truths. “Quit your job if it doesn’t make you happy.” “Cut off people who don’t serve your energy.” “Move cities, chase passion, start over.” And sure, sometimes that’s exactly what you need. But the problem is the internet never sticks around for the after. It doesn’t show you the rent that’s due when you quit, the loneliness that follows cutting off half your circle, or the quiet panic that comes with starting over. Online, everything sounds simple because no one’s living your reality. No one’s paying your bills, dealing with your parents, or figuring out healthcare while chasing dreams.

So maybe the wiser thing isn’t to be cynical, but to pause before we internalize everything we scroll through. To remember that advice without context is just noise with confidence. The internet gives us language for our feelings but not the consequences of our choices. That part’s still ours to live.

September was about stepping out into the community and starting important conversations 💛

At Ghar, Pune an NGO for children and women we spent a day helping kids understand and express their emotions through games and simple breathing techniques. Because emotional awareness starts young.

And at Rathi’s Aspire Academy, we met parents of children preparing for competitive exams discussing how they can support without pressure, and navigate the ever-changing challenges of parenting teens today.

Both sessions reminded us that mental well-being begins with listening to our children, and to ourselves.

(Faces of children have been blurred for their safety and privacy.)

We grew up believing life had a formula: degree, job, marriage, kids, house, done.
By 30, many of us have ticked those boxes — and still find ourselves wondering, is this really it?

Because “settled” doesn’t always mean fulfilled. When your whole identity is career and family, it’s easy to feel lost.

The answers aren’t instant, but therapy, honest conversations, new interests, or even just slowing down can help.
And maybe the real win is giving yourself permission to define success on your own terms.

Main Character Syndrome is when life starts feeling like a film whether it’s pretending a Monday morning auto ride is a ‘Wake Up Sid’ montage, treating your chai break like a scene from ‘Tamasha,’ or walking in slow-mo like it’s a Karan Johar climax.

It makes life cinematic, but the truth is life isn’t just your film. It’s an ensemble cast, with everyone playing their own role. So enjoy your scenes, but don’t forget the side characters have stories too.

In current times when therapy jargon has become popular it is extremely important to get to the depth of the concepts and not just superficially apply them.

Having boundaries are supposed to make the relationships better and richer and not the other way round.

When you draw a boundary its primary purpose is to save the “relationship” by having equal space for both people in it.
It’s not about saving yourself at the cost of the other.

We must be gentle, respectful and compassionate in drawing our boundaries so we treat the other as a human being with feelings too!
Yes, in the beginning your boundaries will be challenged and pushed but we are to continue sticking to them firmly but kindly.

Like Prentis Hemphill beautifully put it, “Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.”
