I first discovered Oliver Tree through his collaborations with Cherdleys. Back then, I was spending hours watching comedy sketches, absurd internet humor, and the kind of content that made no sense but somehow felt perfect. The videos featuring Oliver immediately stood out. He had this strange energy that was impossible to ignore. His bowl haircut, oversized clothes, and completely unpredictable personality made him look like a character from another planet. At first, I thought he was just another comedian playing a weird role. But the more I watched, the more I realized there was something different about him. Behind all the chaos, there was genuine creativity. Every appearance felt like performance art. He knew exactly how ridiculous he looked and leaned into it harder than anyone else. That curiosity eventually led me to his music. What surprised me most was how someone who could be so funny could also create songs that carried real emotion. Tracks like "Hurt" and many oth...

There are some things in life that you can prepare for, and some things you cannot. A knee injury was something I never saw coming. One moment life was moving normally, and the next I was dealing with doctor appointments, MRI reports, pain, and months of physiotherapy. It was frustrating, inconvenient, and exhausting, but it was also temporary. At no point did I believe it would affect anything beyond my physical recovery. What I didn't anticipate was how quickly assumptions can change the way people see you. Around the same time, there was a potential relationship that had been developing through an arranged marriage process. Months of conversations, family involvement, and gradual progress had created a sense that things were moving somewhere meaningful. Nothing was final, but there was enough consistency to make me believe we were heading toward something real. Then my ligament injury happened. The injury changed my routine, but it never changed my intentions. I was still the sa...

The last few months have been a whirlwind of business challenges, my knee injury, unexpected losses, and lessons I never asked for but somehow needed. Some deals didn't work out,  and a few dreams had to be put on hold. what surprised me the most wasn't the financial loss. It was realizing how losses reveal relationships. Some people stayed beside me when things got difficult. Others disappeared the moment the numbers stopped looking good. I guess that's part of the journey. The truth is, I spent so much time trying to save my business that I forgot to take care of myself and the people who genuinely cared about me. Maybe success isn't just about profits and growth charts. Maybe it's also about who remains in your corner when everything feels uncertain. I don't have all the answers right now. I only know that giving up isn't an option. So today, I'm choosing to rebuild. One step. One decision. One day at a time. "Sometimes when things are falling ap...

Six months. Six months of conversations, delays, waiting for the "right time," waiting for clarity, waiting for someone to make a decision. It is funny how an arranged marriage proposal can slowly become a part of your daily thoughts without ever actually becoming a part of your life. Every few weeks there was a new reason to wait. Busy schedules. Family discussions. Timing issues. Something else that needed to be sorted out first. I told myself patience was a virtue. Looking back, patience and hope often wear the same clothes. Then came the knee injury. A torn ligament. A few weeks on crutches. Doctor visits. Physiotherapy. Nothing life changing, just one of those unfortunate things that happen. Yet somehow it felt like the entire story shifted after that. Maybe it was the injury. Maybe it was a misunderstanding. Maybe the interest was never really there. I honestly don't know anymore. What I do know is that after six months of delays, uncertainty, and trying to stay opt...

Well, Well, Well ! It's a Return of some sort a lot of things has happened but in this journal, I'll be writing about a theory called, "The Three Meeting Theory"  There is a theory called Three Meeting Theory   you meet the same soul three times, but never in the same way, The first time they're nothing just a passing face in the background of your life. The second time, it's different, There's Something there you can feel it, but the timing is actually wrong, Life pulls you apart, one of you isn't ready, maybe both and then, The third time after everything, after growth, the breaking and the healing, when you've softened in the right places and your heart no longer fears love in the same way, at This time it is quiet, you don't question it, you just listen to it and RECOGNIZE it because may be some people aren't meant to find us once, They're meant to find us when we're finally ready to stay.
