Srijani RayI've always held a strong belief in Murphy's law, which states that "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." I've often found that despite my best intentions, things tend to go awry due to outside pressures. However, one day I came across a formula that changed my perspective: smaller surface area equals greater pressure. Suddenly, everything became clear, and the chaos seemed to make sense. I grabbed my pen and red journal, which have been my companions for the past five years. Whether it was cloudy mornings or rainy nights, enduring pain or embracing joy, poetry has been my solace. During nights when darkness feels suffocating and I wait for the walls to respond, I reflect on my life-altering choices, remembering the quote: "Not all those who wander are lost."
